Kota Kinabalu: Sabah is now the proud owner of a Unesco Triple Crown site, the third in the world to have such distinction following the declaration of the Kinabalu National Geopark as the Kinabalu Unesco Global Geopark.
Announcing this in a statement, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said Sabah has joined Jeju Island in Korea and Shennongjia in China for the distinction of having three Unesco sites.
The decision was made by Unesco's Executive Board in Paris on May 24.
Kinabalu Park’s two other Unesco “crowns” are the World Heritage Site (declared on December 2, 2000) and the Unesco Crocker Range Biosphere Reserve (declared on June 12, 2014).
