.
There are 18 National Parks in Sarawak , of which I had only visited 5 of them. Not yet even to include another 5 Nature Reserves and 4 Wildlife Sactuaries. I think I may not have the chance to at least pay a brief visit to all of the existing Totally Protected Areas.
Compare to other states of the Federation, Sarawak surely championed other states in regard to total land area and numbers of TPAs.
However, if we look at total area of Sarawak , which is 124,450 km2 ( 12,445,000 ha ), total TPAs of 492,973.47 ha is merely a 3.96% !
