KOTA KINABALU: A cryptocurrency company has stepped in to play a significant role in Sabah's turtle conservation efforts as funding from pandemic-hit travel companies dwindles. United States-based AquaGoat Finance is chipping in to help Friends of Sea Turtles Education & Research (Foster) in its annual community clean-up of the state's east coast Libaran shoreline, the focus of turtle conservation efforts since 2004. Foster president Alexander Yee said other sponsors for the beach clean-up programme included government agencies. The Covid-19 pandemic has seen a sharp drop in contributions from Foster's traditional source of tourism-based companies, he said on Sunday (July 25). "I was getting worried as sea turtle conservation very much depended on having a clean shoreline," he added at the launch of the seventh annual Libaran beach clean-up.
