Sabah's famous Turtle Island Park has been holding up well as a turtle conservation centre over the last 35 years under the watchful eye of its keeper Hasbulah Buis.

The turtle sanctuary, comprising three tiny islands – Selingaan, Gulisaan and Bakkungan Kecil on the Sulu Sea off Sandakan on the east coast of Sabah – is a safe haven for the endangered green and hawksbill turtles.
