Kinabalu Park, located in the northern part of Borneo, known for its exceptional biodiversity and range of ecosystems, from tropical rainforests to alpine meadows, and Mount Kinabalu. This park is a biodiversity hotspot with a high concentration of endemic species, famous especially for the carnivorous plants and orchids.
The name "Kinabalu" itself carries great cultural significance and originates from the Kadazan Dusun world "Aki Nabalu". Loosely translated, Aki means ancestor or grandfather while Nabalu means mountain. The name Aki Nabalu means “the revered place of the dead” or "The resting place of the ancestors". It is a sacred and beloved place for the locals.
Kinabalu Park is one of only three places to have three UNESCO designations: a World Heritage site, a UNESCO Geopark and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
