Some of us may not know that Mount Kinabalu is managed and conserved by Sabah Parks, the trustee body which was constituted since 1962. The functions of Sabah Parks are ” To preserve for all time areas which contains significant geographical, geological, biological and historical features as a national heritage for the benefit, education, and enjoyment of the people”. Sabah Parks also support an ongoing research and conservation project in all the gazetted parks under the trustee.

For your information, there are another 6 parks apart from Kinabalu, under their trustees, i.e:

1. Tunku Abdul Rahman Park
2. Turtle Island Park
3. Pulau Tiga Park
4. Bukit Tawau Park
5. Crocker Range National Park
6. Tun Sakaran Marine Park

If you notice, Sipadan Island is not under Sabah Parks - yet. That is why the management of the island is some kind haywire…
