Did you know mangroves are home to an incredible array of species? It provides a very important ecosystem to both human life and the diversity of life that inhabits it. Not only does it keep the water clear and healthy, but mangroves also act as the first line of defence from erosion and protect the environment from extreme weather changes.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has added new metrics to help track species’ recoveries from the threat of extinction and show if conservation is working. They are called the Green Status of Species and they show the recovery status of a species and the conservation impact on a species over time.
181 species underwent preliminary assessments for the Green Status of Species, including the California Condor, Kandelia obovata (a mangrove species) and the Sumatran Rhino. But the number will grow as conservationists around the world complete more assessments.
Together, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and the Green Status of Species help tell more complete stories about the efforts to conserve and save species.

This is what it looks like to wake up at Kinabatangan River. 😍
Blessed with the most varied wildlife in South East Asia, Kinabatangan River is the longest river in Sabah. Cruise through the pristine mangrove swamps and upland forests and experience wildlife sightings such as the elusive orangutan, pot-bellied proboscis monkey, silver-tailed macaques and if you are lucky, you will get to see the rare pygmy elephant as well as many bird species.
