Abstract
Land development such as for oil plantations on peat swamp forest PSF areas inadvertently results in drastic changes in the landscape and their other environmental components through the opening up and removal of the vegetation followed by drainage and necessary processes for establishment of the crop on these areas and their later management activities. Complex interactios or impacts through alteration of the original landscape to the developed lands and the surrounding areas will made this noble effort towards sustainable management more remote. As we struggle to battle against our fast decline in PSF areas and the resultant depleting environmental quality there is no better time than now to work towards these aspirations. Partnerships forged between stakeholders including land developers through various initiatives which aim towards considering the fragile association with our surrounding environment could slower down the rate of decline and help protect the surrounding environment from degradation. This paper describe initiative undertaken through the Peat Swamp Forest Project UNDP/GEF Funded at Loagan Bunut National Park in Sarawak towards forging partnership with various stakeholders especially neighbouring land developers on how to protect the receiving rivers and prolong the life of the downstream lake Loagan Bunut as well as to achieve a sustainable PSF nearby their development areas.
