— What You Can Expect —

Danum Valley Conservation Area (DVCA) was an informal protected area in the
Ulu Segama Forest Reserve of primary, undisturbed, predominantly lowland
rainforest with an outstanding complement of Borneo flora and fauna. It was
part of the almost one million ha forest concession assigned to Yayasan Sabah.
In 1976, WWF-malaysia suggested that the area be declared a national park. The
Danum Valley Conservation Area (DVCA) is a 438 sq. km tract. However, Yayasan
Sabah Board of Trustess resolved on November 28, 1980, to leave the area
within Yayasan Sabah concession but shall leave it unlogged for the purpose of
conservation. Thereafter it is known as "Danum Valley Conservation Area".

Danum Valley Conservation Area is dominated by dipterocarp tress, with the
cnopy reaching a height of over 70 metres in some places. Some 90% of the
Conservation Area is classified as dipterocarp forest, with the remaining 10%
being low canopy, sub-montane forest mainly found on Mt. Danum in the heart of
the Conservation Area.

The rare Wallace Flying Frog, soft shelled turtles, skinks, vipers, more than
40 species of fishes and a profusion of butterflies, such as the spectacular
Rajah Brooke, can be seen, as well as more than 120 species of mammals
including 10 species of primates. Notably, the Conservation Area and its
surrounding are an important habitat for orang hutan and, due in part to
minimal hunting pressure , is particularly rich in other large mammals
including the Bornean pygmy elephant, banteng, Malayan sun bear, clouded
leopard, bearded pig and five species of deer. Danum Valley also provides one
of the last refuges in Sabah for the critically endangered Sumatran rhino.
Bird diversity is very high and over 300 species of bird have been recorded,
including the Bulwer's pheasant, seven species of pittas, the Borneo
Bristlehead and all eight species of hornbill found in Borneo.
