SILVICULTURE IN 2016

The target of silviculture treatment in 2016 was 1,770 ha consisting of (2) compartments (Cpt.107 and Cpt.110). However, both of these compartments were not treated due to insufficient fund from the Forestry Community Funds. The activity will be carried out in 2017 instead. In the fourth quarter, the Heart of Borneo initiative project under the 11th Malaysian Plan Federal Fund has funded about RM6,360,000.00 to implement silviculture treatment at Ulu Segama Forest Reserve (10,000 ha) and Northern Gunung Rara Forest Reserve (5,000 ha). The project was awarded to the appointed contractor Rakyat Berjaya Sdn. Bhd. on the 15 September 2016 with the duration of work to be completed within 24 months (expected completion date on the 15 September 2018). In 2016, the silviculture was kicked off and treated about 1,394 ha in Ulu Segama Forest Reserve (Cpt.226 and Cpt.178). Silviculture treatment achievement is shown the following table:
