Sabah’s Lost World

Until two decades ago, the mysterious allure of the Maliau Basin was pure conjecture as no one had dared to set foot in it, not even the indigenous tribes living on the fringes.It was not until a group of researchers braved the unknown almost 20 years ago that its natural wonders have slowly been unveiled.And what amazing treasures they have turned out to be, with what is believed to be 10 new species of flora and fauna discovered on the latest expedition.If all goes well, future generations will be able to discover for themselves the richness of "Sabah’s Lost World". Efforts are now under way to have it recognised as a World Heritage Site. However, the process is long and arduous as scientific data will have to be compiled and presented to reflect its universal value.
