KOTA KINABALU: The ability of the Sunda pangolin to survive on Gaya Island, a 10-minute boat ride from the state capital here, has piqued the interest of conservationists.
The animal is critically endangered in Sabah's wilds, but has not only established a foothold on the island but also helps to keep the forest ecosystem there in balance.
