Gunung Mulu National Park2000

UNESCO World Heritage

UNESCO World Heritage

The story of Gunung Mulu National Park began around 40 million years ago. Located in Sarawak on the island of Borneo, the park is well known today for its rich biodiversity and its karst features.
The varied topography of Gunung Mulu National Park includes swampy lowland rainforests, towering limestone cliffs and lofty sandstone mountains - these provide a great diversity of habitats and are one of the reasons behind the astounding biodiversity of this reserve. Here, splashes of colour in the canopy (reds, oranges, yellows, whites) are indicative of a mass-flowering event that occurs only once every few years in the Bornean rainforest.
