KOTA KINABALU: More than 120 international youths will help in the creation of Sabah’s first sun bear conservation centre in the east coast Sandakan district.
Over the next several months, youths from the Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, Britain and Malaysia will take turns in building the centre adjacent to the orang utan conservation centre in Sepilok, some 45km from Sandakan town.
The volunteers from Raleigh International will construct fences and a boardwalk at the facility.
They will also be involved in other environmental and social projects all over Sabah starting this week.
Raleigh Borneo country programme manager Mac McCarthy said the youths would be joined by 29 volunteer managers from around the world in the upcoming 10A Expedition, which is among the largest in terms of participation.
Other environment-related projects involving the venturers include building facilities for researchers at the pristine Imbak Canyon in southwest Sabah and a suspension bridge across Sungai Imbak.
