The Silabukan Protection Forest Reserve is located in Sabah, Malaysia. It was established in 1992. This site covers an area of 114 km2 (44 mi2).[2] Although 8% of Sabah's land area is included in the system of national parks, most of Sabah's orangutans do not occur in official protected areas, they are instead found in production forest landscapes in the eastern Sabah Foundation concession, which includes Silabukan Forest Reserve (McConkey et al. 2005).
Flora and fauna
[edit | edit source]In 2022, a blooming Rafflesia keithii was discovered in the reserve during a World Wildlife Fund inventory.[3]
