BERA: The Klias Peninsula in Sabah, as well as Loagan Bunut and Sarikei in Sarawak, are being nominated to be recognised as the country’s new Ramsar sites, says Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.

He said the ministry is in the midst of preparing the necessary documents for the nomination as they also expect the recognition will be obtained within a year or two if everything goes according to plan.
