Loagan Bunut National Park

Loagan Bunut National Park, established in 1990, spans over 27,000 acres and is fundamentally unique due to its dynamic floodplain ecosystem. The park features the largest natural lake in Sarawak, which periodically fills and drains depending on the water levels of the Tinjar River. This results in a diverse array of habitats that attract various wildlife species, including numerous bird species, reptiles, and mammals. Key to the park's ecological significance is its role as a sanctuary for waterbirds and its status as a crucial breeding ground for fish species. The area is culturally rich as well, being home to the Berawan people, who traditionally rely on the lake's resources. Visitors to Loagan Bunut can enjoy a range of recreational activities such as bird watching, hiking, and cultural visits to nearby communities. The park provides an intriguing glimpse into both the natural and cultural landscape of Malaysia, with highlights including its distinctive seasonal lake and rich biodiversity.
