Our Objectives

• To stimulate a wider interest in, and knowledge of, the history, natural history and geography of Sabah and the cultures and customs of its people and;
• To encourage and assist the recording of knowledge of the history, natural history and geography of Sabah and the preservation of examples of the cultures and customs of its people. These objectives give the society a wide base which can accommodate the specific interest of anyone who wishes to share or improve their knowledge of Sabah.

To fulfill our objectives, the society uses four main activities:

1. Meetings are held at which experts, both local and visiting, are invited to speak on topics relevant to Sabah or the study of disciplines applicable to Sabah.
2. Expeditions are organised to places of historical, cultural or of natural history interest usually over weekends.
3. A Journal is published usually once a year containing articles written on topics relevant to the objectives.
4. Monographs and books are published as suitable materials and funds become available.

Among the notable achievements of The Sabah Soceity and its members are the establishment of the Sabah Museum and the Sabah Parks.

Today, the Sabah Society is recognised as an important non-governmental organisation promoting the conservation of Sabah's natural heritage and advising the state government on such matters.
