’Nepenthes murudensis’ is endemic to Mount Murud in Sarawak, Malaysia. Protecting this mountain site is essential for ensuring the species’ persistence as a species of ’least conservation concern’. For the Tambao Range, to which Mount Murud belongs, the coverage by protected areas of important sites for mountain biodiversity (SDG indicator 15.4.1) was estimated to be approximately 35% in 2020, with no change since the year 2000. This coverage is considerably higher than the 2020 national average of 28.1% for Malaysia.

Researchers from the Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment at the University of Bern and the University of Lausanne challenge this country-level analysis regarding conservation efforts for mountain biodiversity. They emphasize that significant sub-national differences are being overlooked and highlight the need for cross-country conservation initiatives.
