Kinabalu Park
Kinabalu is also seeing deforestation to open fields for crops. But it has a strange natural reason for becoming a carbon source. The park was hit by an earthquake in 2015, which the report says is partly responsible for the uptick in emissions. While it doesn’t give a reason, it’s ostensibly possible that the earthquake led to downed trees that are decomposing and emitting methane as they degrade.
