The Borneo Heights Resort on Gunung Penrissen is surrounded by beautiful mountain forest but a 100 years of active hunting by the local Bidayuh Land Dayaks in the surrounding forest  has eliminated most of the large fig eating wildlife  and this has resulted in a collapse of the fig tree population as well.
