Book Description
Established in 1964, Kinabalu Park is one of the six parks managed by the Sabah Park System (Malaysia). It is surrounded by 45 villages where 15 800 Dusun people are living. This tribe relies considerably on the natural resources of the forest. Poverty eradication is the objective of several development projects which aim at improving farmer's organisation, developing veterinary and health services, or making handicrafts. The major issues involving the rural communities are listed in this document. The surrounding communities derive direct and indirect benefits from the existence of Kinabalu Park even if some conflicts can occur related for instance to Kinabalu Park boundary. Mutual effort to foster good relationship between the Park and the communities have been developped through experiences such as the Mobile Unit, the Projek Ethnobotani Kinabalu and the Rafflesia Conservation Incentive Scheme. The future of Kinabalu Park depends on research and aid priorities for improving conservation as well as human welfare in order to get a sustainable use of the natural resources of that area.

Geology of North-West Borneo
Author: C.S. HutchisonPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080460895
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
The book is a comprehensive compilation of all aspects of the geology of Northwest Borneo (Sarawak, Brunei and Sabah) and the contiguous South China and Sulu Seas. The sedimentary formations are described, their palaeontology tabulated and ages discussed. Stratigraphic charts illustrate their relationships across the whole region. Detailed geological maps of selected areas are accompanied by cross sections based on outcrop patterns and drilling and seismic data offshore. Palaeocurrent maps are presented and the palaeogeography for different ages described and sedimentary provenance discussed. Descriptions of the ophiolite sequences, volcanic and plutonic rocks are accompanied by tables of selected chemical analyses and geochemical plots and their tectonic significance discussed. All radiometric data are tabulated and discussed. Regional structures and the predominantly Tertiary tectonics are described. In Sarawak the mountains are constructed of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene greenschist facies shaly turbiditic Rajang Group, uplifted before the end of the Eocene. In Sabah the Western Cordillera is constructed of Eocene to Lower Miocene sandy turbidite uplifted in the Late Miocene and Pliocene. Miocene intrusion of Mount Kinabalu and uplift of the Cordillera is related to collision at the Northwest Borneo Trough. Gold, antimony, mercury and copper deposits are described and the tectonic setting of oil and gas deposits discussed.* Correlation tables, descriptions and ages of all major sedimentary formations of Sarawak, Brunei and Sabah* Petrology, geochemistry and ages of all volcanic and plutonic formations of North West Borneo and their tectonic significance* Economic geology including the geological setting of offshore oil and gas deposits
