I'm drawn to places I don’t know much about and on which there isn't too much online. #Sabah has #Malaysia’s largest expanse of #mangroves and the Lower #Kinabatangan-Segama #Wetlands forms the largest contiguous tract in the southern Sulu Sea, but I had never heard of it before. I was only familiar with the Kinabatangan tourists visit for wildlife-spotting river cruises. So my curiosity started from a very basic place: What does this place look like? How do the people there live?

Unlike Wen's, this story explores how we could practice proactive, not just reactive, stewardship. So often, news stories hinge on disasters that have happened, when it is often too late. The Lower #Kinabatangan Segama Wetlands may not be facing an immediately dire threat, but there are threats all the same.
