Tabin Wildlife Reserve, Wildlife reserve in eastern Sabah, Malaysia.
The 122,500-hectare reserve contains lowland dipterocarp forest and serves as a habitat for numerous endangered species including Borneo elephants and clouded leopards.
The Malaysian government established Tabin as a protected area in 1984 to safeguard three major mammals: Borneo Pygmy Elephant, Sumatran Rhinoceros, and Banteng.
The land belongs to the people of Sabah, with the Wildlife Department managing the animals while the Forestry Department oversees the forest resources.
Visitors reach the reserve through a 48-kilometer journey from Lahad Datu, with accommodations available at river chalets and hill chalets within the resort.
Active mud volcanoes within the reserve function as natural salt licks, drawing wildlife to the mineral-rich deposits and creating observation opportunities.
