Youth lead in keeping Semporna clean

Walking the talk: Volunteers diligently collecting rubbish on a beach at Timba-Timba Island.

KOTA KINABALU: A clean-up campaign led by youths has managed to collect more than 3,000kg of trash from beaches and other areas in several Semporna islands so far this month.

In a collaborative effort with the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup, Reef Check Malaysia partnered with several community organisations in the east coast Sabah district to spearhead the series of environmental clean-up initiatives slated throughout September.
