Situated in the south-west of Malaysian Borneo, Gunung Gading National Park is the best place to find the rafflesia, the world’s largest flower, among a pristine rainforest environment.

In addition to protecting the rafflesia, the national park provides refuge for a diverse array of flora and fauna. However, for the most part, much of the wildlife here's on the elusive side and except for a number of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Little is known about the birdlife here (or the mammals), although at least 62 species have been identified, and it's likely that many more call this forest home.
