Tenompok Forest Reserve is a protected forest reserve in Ranau District of West Coast Division, Sabah, Malaysia.[2] It was designated as a Class 1 Forest Reserve by the Sabah Forestry Department in 1984.[3][4] Its area is 1,984 hectares (19.84 km2).[3] A former reserve, the Kampung Bundu Tuhan Native Residence Reserve, occupied what is now the eastern portion of Tenompok. The reserve is mountainous,[1] reaching 1,660 metres (5,450 ft) above sea level.[5] Vegetation consists of lower montane forest and montane kerangas forest. Both share a similar species composition, although trees in montane keranga forests are smaller.[6] The reserve's Tomis River is a tributary of the Tuaran River.[1] The area of the reserve has never received significant logging, aside from small amount near what are now its borders.[5] This small logging is thought to be carried out by nearby villages for local use. There is also some agricultural encroachment.[1] The reserve lies between Kinabalu Park and Crocker Range National Park.[7] One farmer has a house within the reserve. There are several settlements around the reserve, along with agricultural land.[6]
