Abstract
With the support of WWF-Malaysia a full High Conservation Value Forest HCVF assessment was carried out in 2012 for Kubaan-Puak Forest Management Unit FMU in Sarawak. It was aimed at providing the necessary management and monitoring recommendations as well as the field-testing of the HCVF Toolkit for Malaysia. Kubaan-Puak is home to various Penan communities still dependent on the forest for their livelihood. It was found that all six HCVs were present necessitating the prescription of conservation measures and continuous monitoring of each HCV. There was good acceptance of HCVF findings and management recommendation by the local communities during subsequent stakeholder consultation. The participants agreed to the formation of a Community Representative Committee and Sustainable Forest Management SFM Liaison Committee. The HCVF assessment was considered as successful and should contribute towards Kubaan-Puaks efforts in forest management certification.
