Malaysia is a paradise for explorers and scientists as many secrets of its biodiversity have yet to be discovered. Located north of Borneo, eastern Malaysia represents 60 percent of its territory. Covering the states of Sabah and Sarawak, this part of the island is home to some of the archipelago's most beautiful sites. Many of these jewels of nature, which are threatened by urbanisation and agriculture, now live in protected zones, thus assuring the survival of their species.
