This project focuses on sustainable forest production within the Permanent Reserved Forest (Hutan Simpan Kekal) of Kenaboi. The operation adheres strictly to sustainable forest management principles outlined in the Malaysian Criteria and Indicators (MC&I).

Key Objectives:

1. Sustainable Timber Harvesting:
   To extract timber resources responsibly while maintaining forest health and biodiversity.

2. Environmental Compliance:
   To ensure all operations meet environmental guidelines, with minimal impact on local ecosystems and communities.

3. Economic Contribution:
   To support the forestry sector’s growth by providing opportunities through open tenders.

Management Approach:

• Boundary Setting and Monitoring:
  The project begins with clear demarcation of boundaries using advanced GIS and LiDAR technologies to minimize environmental impact.

• Harvesting and Replanting:
  Timber harvesting is conducted using sustainable methods, followed by replanting initiatives to maintain forest regeneration and productivity.

• Community Engagement:
  Local communities, including indigenous groups, are involved in the decision-making process to ensure the project aligns with socio-economic and environmental priorities.

Technology Integration:

Advanced tools such as GIS Mapping and LiDAR Scanning are utilized for:

• Precise forest boundary mapping

• Monitoring operations to prevent illegal logging

• Reducing environmental risks during harvesting activities

Environmental Safeguards:

• Conducting Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) to evaluate and mitigate potential risks.

• Ensuring water catchment areas and biodiversity hotspots remain unaffected by operations.

Social Responsibility:

• Collaborating with local stakeholders to provide economic benefits and support infrastructure development.

• Engaging with Orang Asli communities to address their needs and involve them in sustainable forestry activities.

Project Outcome:

This project is a significant step in balancing the economic benefits of timber production with the sustainability of forest ecosystems, ensuring compliance with national and international forestry standards.
