Protected areas of rainforest are the highlight of Sandakan Division. Proboscis monkey, orangutans, turtles, and Bornean sun bears call the region home, with nature reserves and other conservation projects offering some of the best chances to study these animals in their natural habitat. With a history of colonialism and immigration, the towns and surrounding areas offer religious sites that indicate the multicultural heritage of the region, as well as touching memorials to the difficult events experienced during Japanese occupation during World War II. Small coastal settlements still operate as fishing villages here, with raised wooden homes on stilts above the water, although most of the economic activity in the region is now geared toward tourism.
