Maliau Basin Conservation Area or also known as 'Sabah's Lost World' is a huge bowl of pristine forest that first discovered in the 1940s where a pilot nearly hit the cliffs of the northern rim.  Recognizing the uniqueness of the area, in 1981 Yayasan Sabah voluntarily designated Maliau Basin as a Conservation Area for the purposes of research, education, and training. The Maliau Basin Conservation Area (MBCA), located in south-central Sabah and is one of Sabah's greatest natural treasures. It is a Class 1 (Protection) Forest Reserve and as a Cultural Heritage Site under the Sabah Cultural Heritage (Conservation) Enactment.
