Kubah National Park covers over 2,000 hectares of dipterocarp forest in the state of Sarawak, providing a protected area for rare ferns, orchids and palms alongside a host of associated wildlife species.
The state of Sarawak supports an incredible amount of biodiversity and Kubah National Park is set aside to protect a number of rare plants including the newly described orchid, Bulbophyllum kubahense, amorphophallus (often referred to as the corpse flower), alongside a host of threatened pitcher plants and palms. In turn, this forest protects a remarkable number of vertebrates and invertebrates, particularly frogs. In fact, the park is home to the world’s smallest frog species – the Bornean narrow-mouthed frog – alongside the spectacular long-nosed horned frog.
The birdlife here's exceptional, although due to the nature of the rainforest, many species can be hard to spot in the canopy where they're usually found. However, species such as black hornbill, fairy pitta, greater green leafbird and great argus are just a few highlights.
Kubah is also home to a number of mammal species including mouse deer, bearded pig and long-tailed macaques, but they're secretive and rarely seen by those visiting the park.
