1st June 2010

2.5 Location of the FMU

The FMU is located between 2º 27’ 21.34” N to 4º 27’ 21.34” N and 101º21’ 54.54” E to 103º 37’ 29.21” E

2.6 Forest Management System

The FMU had followed the principles of sustainable forest management (SFM) and the requirements of the Licence Agreement of the State government. A Forest Management Plan (FMP) 2016 to 2025 was presented during this audit.

2.7 Annual Allowable Cut/Annual Harvest under the Forest Management Plan

For the Eleventh Malaysia Plan (2016-2020), the Annual Allowable Cut (AAC) for the FMU had been set at 68,435 ha or 13,687 ha per year; the highest in Peninsular Malaysia.

2.8 Environmental and Socioeconomic Context

The existing macro-EIA developed is still relevant since there were no significant changes on the forest management system and harvesting system (SMS). The FMP 2016-2025 has adopted the mitigation

Page 4 of 27

measures as recommended in the macro-EIA (PHN.PHG.(PEM)118/107). The mitigation measures were verified in the FMP 2016-2025 in Chapter 6: Preskripsi Pengurusan Hutan.

The EIA was found adequate to address the impacts on endangered, rare and threatened (ERT) species of flora and fauna. Additionally, the Pahang FMP (2016-2025) also take into consideration the biological corridors (CFS) that was planned and implemented in the FMU with the size of 121,910.53 ha involving six primary linkages and three secondary linkages

The customary use rights of the Orang Asli within the PRF were respected in forest management planning and implementation in accordance to the Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954. There was no indigenous people’s land inside the PSFD certified area.

Traditional forest-related knowledge and practices of indigenous people in the use of forest species or management systems in forest operations was not used by the PSFD.

The details on the experiences and qualifications of the audit team members are as in Attachment 2.

3.3 Standard Used

Malaysian Criteria and Indicators for Forest Management Certification (Natural Forest) [MC&I (Natural Forest)] using the verifiers stipulated for Peninsular Malaysia.

3.4 Stakeholder Consultations

A stakeholder consultation was conducted in January 2019 for a period of one month. However, there were no comments received from the stakeholders.

3.5 Audit Process

The audit was conducted primarily to evaluate the level of continued compliance of the Pahang FMU’s current documentation and field practices in forest management with the detailed of the standard of performances (SOPs) listed in the MC&I (Natural Forest), using the verifiers stipulated for Peninsular Malaysia.

For each Indicator, the auditors had conducted either a documentation review, consultation with the relevant personnel of the FMU, local community or stakeholders or field audit or a combination of these methods. Depending on the compliance with the verifiers for a particular indicator, the auditors then decided on the degree of the FMU’s overall compliance with the indicator and decided whether or not to issue a major or minor NCR or an OFI which is defined as follows:

(i) a major NCR is a non-compliance with the requirements of the MC&I (Natural Forest); (ii) a minor NCR is a deviation or a lapse in complying with the requirements of the MC&I (Natural Forest); and

Page 5 of 27

(iii) an OFI is a situation where the auditor has noted an area of concern on the capability of the forest management system to achieve conformance to the requirements of the MC&I (Natural Forest) but without sufficient objective evidence to support a non-conformance.

The audit team had conducted an onsite consultation with the relevant stakeholders such as Department of Environmental (DOE), Wildlife Department (PERHILITAN), The Malay uniformed staffs were also members of the union, ‘Kesatuan Pegawai-Pegawai Hutan Melayu Semenanjung Malaysia’ (KPHMSM) (Peninsular Malaysia’s Malay Foresters Union), Pahang State and District JAKOA officers, villagers and leaders of Malay communities (Kg Batu 6/Sg Kolek, Kg Kuala Kenau, Kg FELCRA Sg Temau) and Orang Asli (namely the Orang Asli villages of Kg Sg Mas, Kg Sg Kiol, Kg Sematau, Kg Karang, Kg Kabang/Pos Betau, Kg Sg Gabong) during the audit.

The coverage of this surveillance audit is as shown in the surveillance Audit Plan in Attachment 3.

The PSFD had sent a corrective action plan to the audit team to address the minor NCRs which the audit team had reviewed and accepted them. The audit team had prepared an interim recertification audit report and sent it to the PSFD for comment. A second draft recertification audit report which had incorporated the comments received from the PSFD was then prepared and sent to two peer reviewers for independent reviewing. A final recertification audit was prepared after incorporating the comments from peer reviewers.

4 SUMMARY OF AUDIT FINDINGS

Based on the findings of this recertification audit, it was found that the PSFD had continued to manage the Pahang FMU in compliance with most of the requirements of the MC&I (Natural Forest). This recertification had resulted in the issuance of 5 (five) minor NCRs and 2 (one) OFIs. The details on the NCRs/OFIs raised are shown in Attachment 4.

The audit team had reviewed and accepted the PSFD’s proposed corrective actions to address the 5 (five) minor NCRs. However, these corrective actions shall be verified by the audit team during the next audit.

The audit team had also verified on the corrective actions taken by the PSFD to address the 4 (four) Minor NCRs and 1 (1) OFIs which were raised during the previous audit. The responses made by the audit team leader on these corrective actions and on the final status of the NCRs and OFIs are as in Attachment 5.

On indigenous peoples’ rights, there were mechanisms in place to resolve disputes over tenure and use rights through meetings held with the Department of Orang Asli Development or Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA). It was observed that there was no recorded civil court case pertaining to legal or customary tenure or use rights filed against the PSFD.

With regard to Criterion 6.10, at the time of this Recertification Audit (2019), the PRF converted to forest plantation and other uses in Pahang FMU was at 46,141.65 ha,about 3.06% of total PRF. The conversion rate of the PRF within the FMU complied with the 2.5% (first 3 years), 1.5% (subsequent 2 years) and 1% (subsequent years) “limited portion” guideline in Indicator 6.10.1.

As the is no major NCR raised during this recertification audit, the audit team had therefore recommended that the Certificate for Forest Management be maintained.
