Abstract
This paper discusses the local uses of forest and cultivated plants by the Tidung community in Kg. Dagat Kinabatangan Sabah located in the eastern part of Sabah and adjacent to the Ramsar site.

Our results show that most of the plants used by the local villagers are for various purposes such as for medicine food source fishing equipment firewood construction materials household items and handicrafts. Main threats to the plants cultivated in the surrounding villagers have also been identified. Although the villagers rely mainly on the fishery products as their main income plant resources are also important for their livelihood.
