 BAKO NATIONAL PARK
With its rainforest, abundant wildlife, jungle streams, waterfalls, interesting plant life, secluded beaches, panoramic rocky shoreline, bizarre rock formations and extensive network of trekking trails, Bako National Park offers visitors an excellent introduction to the rainforest and coastline of Borneo. Bako may not have an instantly recognisable star attraction, but there can be very few places in the world that pack so much natural beauty into such a limited area, all just 37 km from Kuching. Its accessibility - and its sheer range of attractions and activities - have made Bako one of the most popular parks in Sarawak. Click here for more details
 NIAH NATIONAL PARK
Niah is one of Sarawak's smaller national parks, but it is certainly one of the most important, and has some of the most unusual visitor attractions. The park's main claim to fame is its role as one of the birthplaces of civilisation. The oldest modern human remains discovered in Southeast Asia were found at Niah, making the park one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. Click here for more details

LEN TALIF SAYS PROCLAMATION OF PENAN PEACE PARK HAS NO LEGAL BEARINGS
Statement made in response to Borneo Natives Proclaim Tropical Forest Reserve
Kuching, Sarawak, MALAYSIA
Wednesday, 16 December 2009
 Datu Hj. Len Talif Salleh, Acting Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Planning and Resource Management also Director of Forests, Sarawak issued a statement today saying that “the establishment of Penan Peace Park announced by 17 Penan Communities at Long Ajeng recently has no legal basis, not in consultation with the relevant authorities thus not recognised by the State”.
He was responding to recent media report “Borneo Natives Proclaim Tropical Forest Reserve” where Penan communities were said to proclaim a new forest reserve. It was reported that the Penan “wish to develop tourism in their region and insist on the protection of their customary rights”. This group represents a small fraction of the Penan communities against the wishes of the majority of the Penan population. The former being a group of Penan instigated and manipulated by foreign NGOs to sensationalize the issue to raise fund in the international communities, to further their ill intended agenda. This is a reflection of their post-colonial mentality syndrome Commenting further on Penan Peace Park areas, Len Talif said “the said Peace Park is located largely within Permanent Forest Estate (PFE)”.
