Gunung Rara Forest Reserve is a rainforest area in Tawau Division, Sabah, Malaysia.
[1] Borneo elephants probably were killed in a concession area of Yayasan Sabah in the reserve.
[2][3] The concession was originally intended to be managed into perpetuity for the benefit of all Sabahans but was instead largely decimated by overharvesting.
[4] The reserve sits between Danum Valley and Maliau Basin Conservation areas.
[6] The rainforests in Sabah are endangered by palm oil plantations.
