Situated 2 kilometres off Kota Kinabalu, the Kota Kinabalu Wetlands was initially known as the Kota Kinabalu City Bird Sanctuary. It is a vast area that happens to be the remnant of a mangrove forest existed along the coast. A walk into the mangrove directs the visitors to a unique ecosystem where the land comes in contact with the sea.
The entire area covers over 60 acres of dense mangrove forest managed by Sabah Wetlands Conservation Society. Birdwatchers are elated to find multiple varieties of birds that migrate to Kota Kinabalu Wetland Centre from all parts of North Asia. More than 80 different species of birds have been identified at the wetlands so far. The tourists are also thrilled to spot a number of colourful butterflies, mudskippers, weaver ants, jellyfish, water snakes and other amphibian or aquatic animals within this region.
