KOTA KINABALU: Sabah's rich wildlife has received a boost from Japanese donors who have bought up some 94ha of land to be gazetted as part of a "green corridor" to link fragmented forests in lower Kinabatangan.

The Kinabatangan-based Conservation Trust Borneo Sabah will be tasked to rehabilitate the area for the forest corridor that will allow for wildlife particularly for elephants to move between the fragmented forests without encroaching on private farms and plantations.
