Maliau Basin Conservation Area, 58,840
ha, also known as Sabah’s Lost World is a huge bowl of pristine forests
described as one of the few remaining relatively untouched wilderness areas in
the world.
Bounded by a formidable escarpment
reaching over 1,675m above sea level, the almost circular Basin, one of
Malaysia’s finest remaining wilderness areas, encompasses 390 km² of pristine
forest, a virtually self-contained ecosystem, never permanently inhabited and
with large areas still remaining to be explored and documented.
The whole Basin is a single huge water
catchment, drained by only one river, the Maliau River, which flows out through
a gorge in the southeast of the Basin, joining the Kuamut River and eventually
the Kinabatangan, Sabah’s largest and most important river.
Recognizing the uniqueness of the area,
in 1981 Yayasan Sabah voluntarily designated Maliau Basin as a Conservation
Area, for the purposes of research, education and training, along with Danum
Valley Conservation Area further to the east.
In 1997, Maliau Basin Conservation Area
was upgraded by the Sabah state government to a Class 1 Protection Forest
Reserve, providing legal status as a protected area, and extended to its
present size of 588.4 km² by incorporating forested land to the east and north
of the Basin. Buffer zones surrounding the whole Conservation Area also add to
its protection.
The Sabah State Government has approved
the World Heritage Site (WHS) nomination of Maliau Basin together with Danum
Valley and Imbak Canyon as a single heritage site which will be called DaMaI,
an abbreviation of Danum Valley, Maliau Basin and Imbak Canyon.
