Sabah, Borneo
Sabah is home to the Bornean orangutan, the largest tree climbing mammal in the world, which is critically endangered, mainly due to the destruction of its habit. And that is the macro mama of them all – deforestation of Sabah’s rainforests for timber and palm oil production.
Zooming into the micro level, grassroots ecotourism, community tourism and wildlife tourism are all making a difference. Because in a stunning state like Sabah, with a wealthy history that has depended on gas and oil exploitation, the economy has gone from being one of the richest states in Malaysia to the poorest. Responsible tourism is, thankfully, bringing the country’s natural riches to the foreground, and communities who once exploited the natural resources in order to survive are now realising that riches can come from nurture, not annihilation.

Rich rainforest
In eastern Sabah, over 250km2 of rainforest has been protected as the Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary, which is where a lot of the tourism is focused. There are ten primate species here alone, and it is one of the few regions where you can observe orangutans in the wild with the help of expert trackers. You can also see crocodiles, proboscis monkeys, hornbills, river sharks and pygmy elephants.Rich mountains
Sabah’s summit of all summits is Mount Kinabalu which, for mountain climbers and serious trekkers, is an official four-thousander, peaking at 4,101m. The good news is that you don’t need climbing skills and expertise to summit, but you will need determination and fitness to trek through the tropical, montane and cloud forest trails, to be rewarded with sub-alpine vegetation at the top. Most hikes take you to a mountain hut en route, so that you can complete the last 8.5km in the middle of the night and take in all of Sabah from the summit at sunrise. It is also home to Asia’s first Via Ferrata or ‘iron road’ which takes you to 3,200m up the mountain with the help of metal cable systems.Our top Borneo Vacation
