Joseph Jawa Kendawang, . (1992) Forester's perception on indigenous species for forest plantations in Sarawak. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Interest in using indigenous species for forest plantation in Sarawak was evident as early as in 1930's when foresters of the early days established some 19 hectares of Shorea plantation in Semengok Forest Reserve. Research on indigenous hardwood species for possible use in large scale forest plantation in Sarawak was intensified in the Second and Third Malaysia plan. Major indigenous plantation species now include Shorea macrophylla Dryobalanops beccarrii Durio zibethinus Anthocephalus cadamba Alstonia spp. and Artocarpus integer. The main emphasis in Sarawak now is to plant more indigenous species including high value timber species under its on-going reforestation programme. To date a total of 2 813 hectares or 42.5 of forest plantation in Sarawak has been planted with indigenous tree species.
