Chong Fung Yun, . (2003) Tree phenological network in Sabah. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
The rain forest in Borneo is widely known for its rich biodiversity. However the pressure of logging and the rapid conversion of land use have led to the extinction of some unique fauna and flora in Sabah. Long-term sustainable management of the remaining forest requires an effective tool to encourage the rehabilitation of degraded forest patches or undertaking of afforestation programmes. An intermediate solution is the setting up of a phenological network to facilitate the sources and supply of quality seeds whilst providing an information linkage by Sabah Forestry Department to all stakeholders. The current paper also highlights the initiative by the Sabah Forestry Department in meeting the short-term and long-term goals in supporting and encouraging the planting of indigenous tree species.
