“For many of us, this was our maiden journey into ICCA – a Class 1 Forest Reserve. It was an exciting experience to be in the deep interior of Sabah. As we strengthen our bond with the local communities, we are humbled by the beautiful tapestry of humanity and biodiversity,” said lead biker Wan M Azmee Wan Mohammad.
