Implementing Sustainable Forest Management in Sarawak and Sabah | WWF 8/28/2020 Implementing sustainable forest management in Sarawak and Sabah | WWF Implementing sustainable forest management in Sarawak and Sabah Posted on 26 November 2015 WWF-Malaysia and Forest Department Sarawak are collaborating to boost SFM in Malaysia. Kuching, SARAWAK: Forest Department Sarawak and WWF-Malaysia are holding a workshop to help strengthen sustainable forest management implementation in timber concessions in Sarawak and Sabah. The two-day workshop, from 26-27 November 2015, aims at sharing and discussing the results of desktop analyses and preliminary eld assessments for pilot project areas in Kubaan-Puak area in Sarawak and FMU 5 in Sabah. It also aims at sharing ideas among stakeholders comprising government agencies, timber companies, civil societies, and local communities on pilot project activities that can be implemented in 2016 and 2017 in both states. The workshop is part of the Sustainable Forest Management initiative in the East Malaysia states spearheaded by Forest Department Sarawak and WWF-Malaysia, and supported by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. The Forest Department Sarawak Director, Tuan Haji Sapuan Ahmad, who ociated the opening of the workshop at a leading hotel here today, said his department is committed in nding ways to promote co-benet sharing of natural resources between the government, industries and the people. Stay updated! × Tuan Haji Sapuan added one of the ways to improve sustainable forestry in the State is to have sustainable forest management (SFM) implementedSign inup timber to our concessionmailing list forareas. the latest news, stories, and ways you can make a dierence for our planet! The state government is all out for SFM implementation as it will lead towards certication which is pivotal in ensuring that all timber produced and exported meet the internationalSubscribe now sustainability standards in the very near future, he said. https://wwf.panda.org/?260272/Implementing-sustainable-forest-management-in-Sarawak-and-Sabah 1/5 8/28/2020 Implementing sustainable forest management in Sarawak and Sabah | WWF For a start, he hoped that the Forest Management Units (FMUs) within the Kubaan-Puak area in Baram will carry out SFM in their concessions. Tuan Haji Sapuan said, “The department acknowledges FMUs are important areas for their economic activities as a result of timber production but these FMUs are also vital for communities living in the area who largely depend on the forests.” “In Kubaan-Puak area, the government acknowledges the presence of the communities comprising the Penans and who have also has designated the Magoh Biosphere Reserve several years ago. The local communities need the forests, which provide them with vital ecosystem services and goods such as clean water, food, natural remedies and much more.” “As there are communities living in these FMUs, private companies need to nd ways to deal with the communities’ use of the forests and how logging operations can be carried out in an environmentally friendly, economically successful and socially appropriate manner,” he said. About 100 people are attending this workshop including 30 Penans representing eight settlements in Kubaan-Puak area. Prior to this workshop, in Sarawak, WWF-Malaysia and the Forest Department have carried out preliminary assessment in Kubaan-Puak FMUs. The department and WWF-Malaysia have held a series of workshops with government agencies and civil societies in Kuching and Miri, as well as dialogues with communities in Kubaan-Puak, and socio-economic and resource use surveys among Penans. The goal of the Sustainable Forest Management initiative in East Malaysia: Kubaan-Puak Forest Management Unit in Sarawak & FMU 5 in Sabah Project is to develop a model for SFM in a tropical forest landscape which is environmentally friendly, economically successful and socially appropriate. This pilot project was carried out in Sarawak and Sabah since early 2015. The project area spans about 360,000 hectares, covering multiple forest management units, between Mulu National Park and Pulong Tau National Park in Sarawak; and FMU 5 in the Trus Madi Forest Reserve in Sabah. The project is part of the Heart of Borneo (HoB) Corridor Initiative by the governments of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia and Malaysia. Tuan Haji Sapuan further reiterated that the project area ts well into HoB Corridor Initiative which was deliberated upon in a recently concluded international workshop held in Kuching in early November. Stay updated! × “The Sarawak Government has acknowledged the importance of the successful implementation of the Sign up to our mailing list for the latest news, stories, and HoB Corridor Initiatives. I call upon all timber operators and FMUs to support this,” he stressed. ways you can make a dierence for our planet! He also recorded his word of thanks to his counterpart agency, the Sabah Forest Department and also Subscribe now WWF-Malaysia for their participation and continuous support for this project. “Two weeks ago, the Forest Department Sarawak signed an MoU with WWF-Malaysia to collaborate in https://wwf.panda.org/?260272/Implementing-sustainable-forest-management-in-Sarawak-and-Sabah 2/5 8/28/2020 Implementing sustainable forest management in Sarawak and Sabah | WWF specic areas of interest, including promotion of SFM. I am happy that we are moving forward in our collaboration. This workshop is indeed timely,” he said. On a landscape perspective, it is important to form connectivity between protected areas in Sarawak and Sabah, and in Borneo as a whole. This is because dierent land uses, such as logging concessions, industrial tree and oil palm plantations, hydropower dams, urban and community use areas, have resulted in fragmentation of the landscape. Wildlife populations and their movements have become restricted largely within protected areas, which are surrounded by many dierent types of land uses. For local communities, these dierent land uses pose stress to their traditional forms of land use and dependency on natural resources. This project, Sustainable Forest Management initiative in the East Malaysia, was conceived to help address these problems.

The Diary of a District Officer: Alastair Morrison's 1953 Trip to the Kelabit Highlands Abstract In 1953, Alastair Morrison, then acting District Officer for the Bara, traveled to the Kelabit Highlands along with his wife, photographer Hedda Morrison, and ever changing entourage of 'coolie" porters and guides. This journey was part of his regular responsibilities as a District Officer. During such tours, Morrison surveyed longhouse communities and collected information about the local population and spoke to people about government policies, school fees, taxes, the registering of guns, and often sought to resolve local disputes. Such journeys were summarized in formal reports. However, Morrison also kept travel notebooks, which he later used to write his memoir, which summarized the highlights of his life in Sarawak (Morrison 1993).

  • Carnivore Conservation Planning on Borneo: Identifying Key Carnivore Landscapes, Research Priorities and Conservation Interventions
    Mathai et al.: Conservation priorities for Bornean carnivores RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY Supplement No. 33: 186–217 Date of publication: 30 May 2016 Carnivore conservation planning on Borneo: identifying key carnivore landscapes, research priorities and conservation interventions John Mathai1, J.W. Duckworth, Erik Meijaard, Gabriella Fredriksson, Jason Hon, Anthony Sebastian, Marc Ancrenaz, Andrew J. Hearn, Joanna Ross, Susan Cheyne, Borneo Carnivore Consortium and Andreas Wilting Wilting et al. (2016a: Table 2) list all co-authors’ affliations. Abstract. Borneo harbours more endemic carnivores than does any other island in the world except Madagascar, and almost half of the Bornean carnivore species have been classifed by The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as globally threatened. Here, a systematic conservation planning framework highlighted key carnivore landscapes, conservation research and intervention priorities, and gaps in current knowledge of Bornean carnivore ecology. All single-species predictive habitat suitability index (HSI) models presented in this issue (20 species, comprising all carnivores on Borneo except otters [Lutrinae] and sun bear Helarctos malayanus) were standardised by converting HSI values into binary maps, and combined to derive species richness maps to discuss and delineate areas of conservation priority. The highest predicted carnivore species richness (defned here as the sum of the binary threshold maps), corresponds to interior lowland, upland and lower montane forest, whereas areas with lowest predicted species richness correspond to coastal lowlands already largely converted to oil palm plantations. The 12 proposed areas of conservation importance for carnivores focus on large landscapes and connectivity between subunits, many centred around the tri-national Heart of Borneo initiative, with additional areas for wetland/lowland species.

Received 14 May, 2019; Accepted 6 August, 2019 Penan ethnic group in Sarawak, Malaysia are assumed to be lagging in development flows since Brooks’ administration. The Kubaan Penan ethnic group resides in the remote area of the forest and their daily activities are planting vegetable and hunting for food. Many of them refuse to go out to improve their quality of life financially. It is in contradiction to the Malaysian nature which works 15 hours extra than workers in Hong Kong, Australia and Singapore in a week. Study uses semi-structured interview and questionnaire were implemented. The findings show that the ability to master the Malay language is the major reason why the Kubaan Penan ethnic group refuses to go out from their village to find job. Various parties have to participate in order to equip Kubaan Penan ethnic group with the national language of Malaysia to increase their self-confidence and enable them to enter the labour market. Key words: Penan, labour market, remote area. INTRODUCTION Kubaan is located under Baram District Office the villagers engage in daily activities like picking administration at Baram District, North of Sarawak vegetable and cooking for their lunch and dinner.
