KOTA KINABALU: A community based conservation initiative will be a better approach to forest conservation and protecting community livelihood if implemented properly.

Grassroot groups believe that such an initiative known as Tagal, (which in the Kadazandusun language means do not or no need) would bring about better conservation of flora and fauna, many of which are endangered.
