Kota Kinabalu: Shangri-La Rasa Ria, Kota Kinabalu, has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to develop and explore glowing mushrooms.

This collaboration signifies a crucial step toward researching, conserving and implementing sustainable harvesting practices for the rare glowing mushrooms native to the resort’s reserve area.

The resort and the institution share a commitment to environmental stewardship and the responsible use of this extraordinary natural resource.

“Our partnership with UMS is a meaningful stride in preserving the delicate ecosystem of our reserve area.

“Together, we aim to unlock the potential of glowing mushrooms for the benefit of science and society,” said Rasa Ria General Manager Fiona Hagan.

“Collaborating with Rasa Ria reflects our joint dedication to responsible exploration and conservation.

“We aspire to contribute valuable insights into scientific knowledge and innovation,” said UMS Director of Tropical Biodiversity and Conservation, Dr Fiffy Hanisdah Saikin.

The LOI sets the foundation for joint research and planning efforts, emphasising ethical practices, environmental sustainability and community engagement.
