IMBAK CANYON Imbak Canyon Conservation Area is a sweeping swathe of unspoilt forest, north of the Maliau Basin Conservation Area in the heart of Sabah. It is one of the largest remaining of unlogged lowland dipterocarp forest in Sabah. As pristine forest, Imbak has a key role as a gene bank or seed source for forest rehabilitation in the future, as well as a potentially important source of undiscovered plant based medicine. During a 10 day expedition, 69 speciments of etno-medicinal plants from 15 families were found to be medicinally useful. Imbak also plays an intergal as part of the vital wildlife corridor connecting Danum Valley and Maliau Basin. |
