Usun Apau National Park is described as pristine area known for its waterfalls. The government aims to develop ecotourism at Usun Apau National Park (Sarawak Tribune 2022). Usun Apau was also proposed to be included in the extension of the Heart of Borneo as part of Extended Baram Complex (Mathai et al. 2016). Other species such as Presbytis hosei and Presbytis rubicunda ignita are found in this national park (Ang et al.2024)

Besides that, a study on dragonfly was also conducted in Usun Apau National Park in 2012, through collaboration between Naturalis Biodiversity Center, St Anne's Close and National Biodiversity Centre (Dow, Reels, and Ngiam 2015). They found 55 odonate species during the time period. WWF also documented Usun Apau National Park in their publication entitled "The Environmental Status of Borneo" published in 2017 (Wulffraat & Greenwood 2017).
