Saving the Bornean elephant via ecotourism


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s southern Kalabakan district, with its wild Bornean elephants, has the potential to be turned into an ecotourism destination, says state Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew.

She said the district which borders Kalimantan, Indonesia could draw more foreign tourists, adding that this potential would only increase when the Indonesian capital is relocated to Nusantara in Kalimantan.
