Danau Girang Field Centre
Malaysia (Sabah, Borneo) · 5.41°N · 118.04°E
A Borneo research hub turning field science into lasting protection for tropical wildlife.
About Danau Girang Field Centre
Danau Girang Field Centre is a research and conservation hub in Sabah, Borneo, studying how wildlife survives in fragmented tropical landscapes.
Borneo's lowland rainforests are among the richest on Earth, yet they are increasingly broken up by human activity, leaving wildlife stranded in shrinking pockets of habitat. Understanding how species cope with this fragmentation is vital if conservation is to keep pace, and that understanding is exactly what Danau Girang Field Centre sets out to build.
Based in the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary and run in partnership between Cardiff University and the Sabah Wildlife Department, the centre is a leading base for scientific research and long-term conservation. Its work turns on three pillars: research into the effects of forest fragmentation, education and training, and on-the-ground protection.
Using advanced field technologies, researchers study the area's wildlife to help shape species action plans and landscape management guidelines. The centre also delivers training for enforcement agencies to tackle wildlife crime, and collaborates with local communities, policymakers, NGOs, eco-tourism operators and plantations to find workable solutions for managing the ecosystem.
Alongside this, it offers world-class facilities for university field courses, internships and professional training, helping develop the next generation of environmental scientists. This matters because sound science and skilled people are the foundation of lasting conservation. Support sustains the research, training and partnerships that protect Borneo's wildlife.
