KOTA KINABALU: Wildlife is returning “home” thanks to the effective restoration of severely degraded forests in Sabah, says Assistant Minister to the Sabah Chief Minister, Datuk Abidin Madingkir.

Abidin said the Innoprise-IKEA Tropical Forest Rehabilitation Project (INIKEA) has successfully made the Sungai Tiagau Forest Reserve home to new wildlife sightings and attracted animals to reclaim their habitat.
