To get it started, the SNC scheme was jointly undertaken with Education Department as an extra curricular activity to get the involvement of school heads, teachers and students;

It is also being acknowledged as among notable clubs in carrying out conservation projects in Sabah by the then president of WWF Malaysia, Tan Sri Khir Johari;

On October 7 1988, SNC the first of its kind for Sabah and within Malaysia as a whole was officially launched by the Sabah Chief Minister;
