Site details
Site description: Bungo Range is a KBA located in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, on the border to Kalimantan, Indonesia. This range is rugged, with an elevation range of 27-1,142 m, and a mean elevation of 313 m. Nearby is the Bau limestone area which qualifies the expectation that some of the area is karst. It is currently a forest reserve, and the main habitat is moist lowland forest.

Manageability of the site: The manageability of the site has not been documented.
Delineation rationale: No delineation rationale is available.
