Sabah has a remarkable range of habitats from montane forest to peat swamp, lowland rainforest to interior plains, and from the largest floodplain in Malaysia to coastal regions and islands that offer a truly exciting and rewarding experience for bird watchers. A total of 622 resident and migratory species of birds have been recorded for Borneo, with 32 endemic species. Of major interest is the fact that 24 of these endemic species are found on either Sabah’s hill slopes or in its montane forest. The number of montane species is so significant that Mt Kinabalu, at 4095m and one of the highest mountains in South East Asia is regarded as a distribution centre for all but one of Borneo’s montane birds.
