Natural habitat: A turtle that has just laid eggs seen on a beach in Libaran Island.

KOTA KINABALU: Turtle eggs used to be widely consumed in Sabah but the trend has changed over the years due to persistent awareness campaigns and stricter enforcement.

While conservationists see this as a positive sign towards the conservation of turtles which are listed as protected in Sabah, they acknowledge that there is still much to be done.
