Development threatens rare parrots


TANJUNG Aru Beach on the outskirts of Kota Kinabalu is a popular haunt for both the locals and visitors, and is much loved for its tall old Casuarina trees, lovely sand and magnificent sunsets. Sunsets in Kota Kinabalu are among the most spectacular in the world.

Tanjung Aru Beach is also home to the uncommon blue-naped parrot (Tanygnathus lucionensis), which Bird Life International has described as near threatened (close to extinction).
