Kinabalu Park

Designated as Malaysia’s first World Heritage Site by UNESCO on December 2, 2000, Kinabalu Park is celebrated for its “Outstanding Universal Value” and is considered one of the world’s most significant biological sites. Situated at 1,584 meters above sea level, the park boasts an extraordinary ecological system that is unparalleled globally. Its rich diversity of vegetation, ranging from lowland forests to montane and alpine ecosystems, makes it a unique natural gem in the region, positioned between the Himalayas and New Guinea.

On May 24, 2023, Kinabalu Park reached another prestigious milestone when it was announced as a UNESCO Triple Crown Site. This rare accolade underscores the park’s exceptional biodiversity, geological significance, and cultural importance, solidifying its status as a site of extraordinary global environmental value.
