This is the Case Study of rainforest tourism in the Hodder OCR B Geography book.
I taught this last week as part of my drive to get the course finished by Easter and leave time for revision.
The Crocker Range is on the island of Borneo.
The official UNESCO description of the site, describes it as follows:
Situated south of the World Heritage Site Mount Kinabalu, the Crocker Range Biosphere Reserve forms chain mountains with no distinct peaks in western Sabah.
It is in the Sabah area, an area visited many times by Paul Baker, and Paul kindly sent me a few images. Here are a few of them. They are excellent. Paul has offered to share more.

The Crocker Range is on the island of Borneo.
The official UNESCO description of the site, describes it as follows:
Situated south of the World Heritage Site Mount Kinabalu, the Crocker Range Biosphere Reserve forms chain mountains with no distinct peaks in western Sabah.
The rocky topography constitutes solely of mountains, hills and small basins dissected by deep river valleys. Elevation above sea level of the Crocker Range Biosphere Reserve ranges from 6m to 2,076m. At the site, 105m above sea level, the highest temperature is 32°C and the lowest is 20°C. The area has around 3,000 mm/year precipitation on average and is home to a wide array of endangered species. This biosphere reserve covers an area of 350,584 ha, stretching approximately 120km north and south, and 40km east and west, encompassing rich biodiversity and tropical hill-montane landscape.
