马来西亚的沙巴州占地面积73 371 km $^{2}$,约占婆罗洲岛的10%。大约60%的土地面积是森林,48%被宣布为永久森林保护区或国家公园。森林破坏的最大因素是木材工业,木材工业在国家经济中起着主导作用。法定机构沙巴基金会在该州东南部拥有973 000公顷(9730 km $^{2}$)为期100年的木材特许权。其中9.7%的特许权已被保留用于保护,包括43800公顷(438 km $^{2}$)无人居住的,主要是位于Danum Valley地区的低地森林。自1986年以来,这里一直是一个实地中心和一个合作研究方案的所在地,专门对原始森林生态和选择性伐木的影响进行比较研究。该文件包括一个Danum谷保护区的生态简要说明。
The Malaysian state of Sabah occupies an area of 73 371 km $^{2}$ which is about 10% of the island of Borneo. About 60% of the land area is forested and 48% is gazetted as Permanent Forest Reserve or State or National Parks. The largest agent of forest disturbance is the timber industry, which plays a leading role in the state economy. A statutory body, the Sabah Foundation, holds a 100-year timber concession of 973 000 ha (9730 km $^{2}$ ) in the southeast of the state. Of this concession 9.7% has been reserved for conservation, including 43 800 ha (438 km $^{2}$ ) of uninhabited, mostly lowland forest in an area called Danum Valley. Since 1986, this has been the site of a field centre and a collaborative research programme devoted to comparative study of primary forest ecology and the impacts of selective logging. The paper includes a summary account of the ecology of the Danum Valley Conservation Area.
