Kota Kinabalu: Heart of Borneo (HoB) is now the last frontier sanctuary for the rare and extinction threatened Bornean Peacock-pheasant, first discovered in 1892, some 130 years ago.

In January 2020, it was rediscovered in Sabah’s Heart of Borneo in the Telupid district by Raj A. Rulin, a staff of the Sabah Forestry Department.
