In 1990 shortly after a politician announced that the Mount Kinabalu National Park was about to be expanded most of the new area was burnt to the ground, supposedly by inhabitants of the area. This is one of the many puzzles that the author seeks to unravel in her research into the history of land use from pre-colonial times until 1996.
