Gunung Rara Forest Reserve

Gunung Rara Forest Reserve is a rainforest area in Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. It is located in South-Central Sabah, in Tawau Division.[1] Borneo elephants probably were killed in a concession area of Yayasan Sabah in the reserve.[2][3] The concession was originally intended to be managed into perpetuity for the benefit of all Sabahans but was instead largely decimated by overharvesting.[4] The reserve sits between Danum Valley and Maliau Basin Conservation areas.[5] There are palm oil plantations in the reserve.[6] The rainforests in Sabah are endangered by palm oil plantations.[7]
