Kota Kinabalu: Sabah has contributed to ensuring that Malaysia is still more than 50 per cent covered in the natural environment, said Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew.
She said the State did so with its more than 20 per cent protected terrestrial areas surpassing the Aichi Target of 15 per cent by 2020.
“However, like many other regions, we are consistently trying our best to make it a reality to contribute to the achievement of the global movement to achieve 30 per cent of terrestrial and 30 per cent of marine areas conserved by the year 2030,” she said at the 14th Southeast Asian Biosphere Reserves Network (SeaBRnet) Meeting, here, Monday.
