Universiti Malaysia Sabah

The Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation at the Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Kota Kinabalu, specialises in research and education on rain forest and freshwater ecosystems. I spent some time there a few years ago, helping to curate their land snail collection. I thought you might like to see some photos from the trip. I'll put them up from time to time (sparingly).

UMS was constructing this huge mosque while I was there. I'd like to go back and see how the finished building looks. It's not going to be for a while, though.
