Wild Sabah
Wild Sabah - By Junaidi Payne and Cede Prudente.
The magnificent wildlife and rainforests of Malaysian Borneo
Sabah is still a haven to some of the world's most spectacular and rarest wildlife. Home to the largest patch of tropical rainforest in South-East Asia. Critically endangered Bornean rhinos, elephants, Orang-utan, Sun bear, clouded leopard, giant flying squirrels, huge pythons and hundreds of species of birds live amongst some of the world's largest trees, the swamps and mangroves, and on the slopes of Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in South East Asia.
Deforestation has already taken a terrible toll on the biodiversity of Sabah, and yet climate change is now considered a greater threat. This book reveals the true extent of the diverse wildlife of this hotspot, with some 1000 vertebrate species (mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians), more than 10,000 different plant species and probably more than 100,000 invertebrate species.
Junaidi Payne is considered one of the foremost authorities on the natural history and ecology of Sabah. Cede Prudente is one of South East Asia's leading natural history photographers.
