Over 90% of the Reserve has been selectively logged or allocated for logging. Formerly, the Sabah Foundation (Sabah's largest logging concession-holder) held 100-year logging rights over half the area of Tabin. In 1983, the Foundation.relinquished those long-term rights, and it was expected that logging in the reserve would cease in 1987 or 1988. An area of 8616 ha in the middle of the reserve has been designated as the `core area' where logging is not permitted. The purpose of the `core area' (designated in 1984) was to provide a refuge for the rhinos that are displaced by the logging activity nearby.
