  • Status of Peatlands in Malaysia Was Urgently Needed
    A QUICK SCAN OF PEATLANDS IN MALAYSIA Wetlands International – Malaysia March 2010 Project funded by the Kleine Natuur Initiatief Projecten, Royal Netherlands Embassy A QUICK SCAN OF PEATLANDS IN MALAYSIA Wetlands International - Malaysia March 2010 Project funded by the Kleine Natuur Initiatief Projecten, Royal Netherlands Embassy PREFACE Malaysia, comprising the regions of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak, supports some of the most extensive tropical peatlands in the world. Malaysia’s peatlands mainly consist of peat swamp forest, a critically endangered category of forested wetland characterised by deep layers of peat soil and waters so acidic that many of the plants and animals found in them do not occur in the other tropical forests of Asia. The peatlands of Malaysia play a critical role in preserving water supply, regulating and reducing flood damage, providing fish, timber, and other resources for local communities, and regulating the release of greenhouse gases by storing large amounts of carbon within peat. They also support a host of globally threatened and restricted-ranged plants and animals. Despite these values, the peatlands of Malaysia are the most highly threatened of all its forests and wetlands. Vast areas of peat swamp forest have been cleared, burnt, and drained for economic development and few of Malaysia’s peatlands remain intact. Remaining peatlands continue to be cleared, particularly for oil palm plantations, to meet domestic and international demand for palm oil and other agricultural products. While this demand is increasing, international consumers are also implementing more stringent requirements for forest-certified and ‘green’ products. This is creating new demands on Malaysia to meet its national and international commitments toward climate change protocols and biodiversity conservation while still achieving its economic targets.

All rights reserved. First published March 2008. ISBN 983-3904-07-5 United Nations Development Programme Wisma UN, Block C, Kompleks Pejabat Damansara, Jalan Dungun, Damansara Heights, 50490 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. www.undp.org.my A catalogue record for this book is available from the Library of UNDP. The contents may be freely reproduced for non-commercial purposes with attribution to the copyright holders. Maps are not authoritative on boundaries. Design: Thumb-Print Studio Sdn Bhd. Foreword here has been a resurgence in commercial inland waterway transport, particularly for cargo, in Asia and Europe. The major rivers of India, China and Southeast Asia are being used as an alternative to road T transport in order to achieve greater fuel conservation, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, and lower road and vehicle maintenance costs. Experiences of Asian countries, where more sparsely settled areas of rural population have historically relied on boats for passenger and cargo transport, such as Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand, are especially relevant to Sarawak. A natural resource, large rivers like the Mekong, Chao Phraya and Rajang, offer a viable option to difficult and expensive construction, maintenance and operation of roads, of bridges and vehicles, especially through steep and difficult terrain. In Sarawak, the road network is still underdeveloped and, unlike Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia, there is no rail network passing through rural areas and connecting the main towns.
