KOTA BELUD: Community acceptance and cooperation on the Kinabalu Geopark initiative, which covers the three districts of Ranau, Kota Belud and Kota Marudu, are important criteria in the assessment before its status can be ratified as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) Global Geopark.

National Cultural Council member Dr Paul Porodong said that this synergy was important as one of the aspects seen in the geopark area - which is how a local community fused its culture with the unique geological landscape for their benefit.
