CITY BIRD SANCTUARY
Product Description
Kota Kinabalu City Bird Sanctuary or KKCBS is a haven for wildlife right in the heart of the city.
This 24-hectare patch of mangrove forest is the only remaining patch of an extensive mangrove forest that once existed around the coastal town of Kota Kinabalu.
It was designated as a bird sanctuary by the state government in September 1996 to help foster a better understanding and awareness on the value of wetlands. In 1998, it was declared as a State Cultural Heritage Site.
This sanctuary will not only become a priceless landmark for future generations, it is also the only one of its kind in the city.
