Bukit Tiban National Park, Sarawak

Bukit Tiban National Park (GPS: 3.45808, 113.4979) is a national park in the Miri Division of Sarawak. It covers a 80 square kilometer area at the headwaters of Sungai Nyalau and Sungai Timong in the Miri Division, and Sungai Sigrok in the Bintulu Division. Bukit Tiban, which was made a national park in 2000, acts as a water catchment area for the surrounding region, which comprises plantations as well as residential and industrial areas. It is bordered to the south by the Pan-Borneo Highway at Km-50.

Bukit Tiban is an example of how an ex-logging area has been successfully reforested. Silvicultural treatment was carried out by the Sarawak Forestry Department to bring the area back to the state of a natural forest. Through the reforestation efforts, the wildlife population at Bukit Tiban has increased significantly. As an island of refuge surrounded by palm oil plantations, Bukit Tiban provides a sanctuary for the wildlife that roam into the plantation areas at night to search for food.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
