Tabin is an enormous Dipterocarp rainforest
landscape in the eastern part of Sabah with a most
diverse range of flora and fauna. Tabin was declared a wildlife
reserve because of the large numbers of animal species inhabiting its
forest, including several which are highly endangered. With a
protected forest area of 120,500 hectares, Tabin plays an important
role as a dedicated ground for the breeding of endangered wildlife and
protected mammals in Sabah. It is no wonder that Tabin has been
heralded as the finest wildlife viewing area in Borneo. The
three largest mammals of Sabah, namely the Asian Elephant, the Sumatran
Rhinoceros and the Tembadau (Banteng wild buffalo, Bos javanicus) are all found within Tabin.
