Bundu Tuhan folk conserve their forest

Having lost access to the forests of Mount Kinabalu when it became a national park, the people of Bundu Tuhan now wield a firm grip on their remaining forest.

THE village of Bundu Tuhan is spotless. Save for the occasional cow pat left behind by grazing livestock, no litter is in sight when one strolls around the village nestled in the foothills of Mount Kinabalu in Ranau district, Sabah.
