Editing Mount Kinabalu (section)

=== Threats and preservation ===
{{see also|Deforestation in Borneo}}
The steep mountainsides with poor soil are not suitable for farming or for the timber industry so the habitats and animal life of Kinabalu remain largely intact, with about a third of the original habitat now degraded. Kinabalu Park was established in 1964 and the nearby mountains were protected as the [[Crocker Range National Park]] in 1984. However even national park status does not guarantee full protection, as logging permits were granted on Trus Madi in 1984.<ref>{{WWF ecoregion|id=im1001|name=Kinabalu montane alpine meadows}}</ref><ref name="doi.org"/>
