The higher ridges and slopes ( up to the park at 450m ) are covered by heath forest while the lower slopes and valleys are dominated by huge stands of mixed dipterocarp forest. The ground flora consists of an unusual variety of palms which give an exotic feel to the park. Plant enthusiasts will be interested to know that Lambir Hills may well be the most species rich forest in the world.

Wildlife such as the Borneo gibbon, bearded pig and barking deer can all be found at Lambir Hills. There are also more than a hundred bird species in the park.
