There are presently over 1000 species of orchids in 120 genera, known from Sarawak. Through resources of the Institute of Biodiversity and Environmental Conservation of the Universiti Malaysia Sarawak and Sarawak Forestry Department, together with the collections in some 30 other institutions in 16 countries, it has been possible to assemble in a single database the information for most of the orchid collections made in Sarawak by more than 200 plant collectors over the last 150 years. This important database has been used to document the distribution of all orchids in Sarawak, including data about which species are known only from the state, which ones are threatened or in danger of extinction, and which localities have the greatest concentrations of species..
