Mt. Kinabalu, with an elevation of 4,095 meters, is a majestic presence in Malaysian North Borneo, and a World Heritage Site. But from 2020, tourism has been hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some indigenous people see a connection with the 2015 earthquake, believing both to be due to divine wrath. In this episode, we meet the residents of this region who live while respecting the sanctity of nature, and seek new ways to sustain themselves.
