丹浓谷自然保护区, 沙巴州属, 马来西亚
The Danum Valley Conservation Area, 83km south-west of Lahad Datu, is
blessed with a startling diversity of tropical flora and fauna. This vast
Eden-like basin is home to the rare Sumatran Rhinoceros, orang utans, gibbons,
mousedeers and the beautiful clouded leopard. Some 270 species of birds have
been recorded in the area. The Danum Field Research Centre is located within
the confines of the 440 sq km forest reserve.
It also boasts one of the first eco-resorts in Sabah, known as the
Borneo Rainforest Lodge. This comfortable resort has a restaurant, bar and
comfortable chalets overlooking the Danum River. Jungle treks, river swimming,
bird watching, night jungle tours and excursions to nearby logging sites and
timber mills are some of the activities offered here.
Prior to may 1995, Danum
Valley Conservation Area (DVCA) was an informal protected area in the Ulu
Segama Forest Reserve of primary, undisturbed, predominantly lowland rainforest
with an outstanding complement of Borneo flora and fauna. It was part of the
almost one million ha forest concession assigned to Yayasan Sabah.
In 1976,
WWF-malaysia suggested that the area be declared a national park. The Danum
Valley Conservation Area (DVCA) is a 438 sq. km tract. However, Yayasan Sabah
Board of Trustess resolved on November 28, 1980, to leave the area within
Yayasan Sabah concession but shall leave it unlogged for the purpose of
conservation. Thereafter it is known as "Danum Valley Conservation
Area".
The area would be administered
informally as Conservation Area in recognition of its outstanding biodiversity
value. To help justify forgoing such a large financial opportunity, the Yayasan
Sabah Board of Trustees resolved to make use of Danum Valley for purposes of
research and education, which are in line with its charitable mission.
In 1982, the Interagency Danum
Valley Management Committee was established, comprising Yayasan Sabah, the
Sabah Forestry Department, the sabah Ministry of Tourism, Culture and
Evironment, Universiti Malaysia Sabah and several other agencies.
To facilitate activities
realated to research. Education, training and wilderness recreation, Yayasan
Sabah established the Danum Valley Field Centre (DVFC) IN 1986. Located on the
edge of Danum Valley Conservation Area, the Danum Valley Field Centre (DVFC) is
open to both international and local scientists/ researchers, who must first
apply in waiting to the sectary, Danum Valley Management Committee.
Danum Valley Field Centre has
evolved into one of the foremost rainforest research establishments in South
East Asia. The extensive facilities include permanent research plots and an
extensive trail system, well-equipped analytical laboratories, computer and email
facilities, a library, climatic station data, phenology monitoring data base,
trained field staff, vehicles, housing and sports facilities, a Nature
Interpretation and Environmental Education Building and a Nature Discovery
Centre, several canopy observatation platforms and towers, and a suspension
bridge over the Segama River.
