INFAPRO rehabilitation project

The island of Borneo holds vast areas of tropical rainforest. The undisturbed virgin jungles within are home to the world’s tallest tropical and house a large number of endangered and indigenous species. In recent years, the establishment of oil palm together with harvesting pressures have resulted in rapid rates of threatening the rich biodiversity in the area. In Sabah (the Malaysian part of Borneo), Face the Future has been undertaking a rainforest rehabilitation project since the early 1990’s which aims to re-establish forests through Improved Forest Management (IFM) activities. Thus far, over 11.000 hectares of rainforest have been restored.

The climate benefits of the projects are validated according to the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), resulting in high quality carbon credits.

Recently Dr Glen Reynolds from The Royal Society in South East Asia had this to say about our project.”
