Abstract

A study on diversity and conservation status of vascular plants was conducted in the Sg. Rawog Conservation Area SRCA which is located in Segaliud Lokan Forest Reserve Sabah. The study aimed to document plant diversity and identify interesting endemic rare and threatened plant species which are considered high conservation value species. The study recorded 572 taxa from the reserve of which 124 taxa are endemic to Borneo including 11 endemic to Sabah thus indicating the forests in Sg. Rawog Conservation Area contain high conservation value plant species. Two high conservation value plant species namely Shorea symingtonii and S. waltonii were selected as part of the key conservation targets for monitoring biodiversity integrity in SRCA. Adequate knowledge of plant diversity in the area is vital for the formulation of the SRCA management plan.
