プロジェクト概要

​The Kuamut Rainforest Conservation Project ("Kuamut Project") aims to protect and restore 83,381 hectares of tropical forest in the Tongod and Kinabatangan Districts of Sabah, Malaysia. The project area is part of an approximately 1-million-hectare, long-term concession granted to Yayasan Sabah on a 99-year lease arrangement with the Sabah Forestry Department (acting on behalf of the State Government of Sabah). Yayasan Sabah is a state-owned para-governmental charitable foundation that was formed in 1966 with the aim of "improving the lives of Malaysians living in Sabah."
Prior to the start of the project, the project area was designated as commercial forest (Class II). The area had been repeatedly logged in the past and was designated for further commercial exploitation. By preventing 83,381 hectares of commercial logging over 30 years, the project explicitly demonstrates additionality. Had the project not intervened, the resulting carbon emissions over this period would have contributed 16 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) into the atmosphere. Along with its contribution to preventing the release of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the project is protecting an important biodiverse habitat. Despite its ex-logged state, the area is known to support very high populations of elephants, banteng, orangutan, and endangered bird species, including the helmeted hornbill, Bornean peacock-pheasant, and Storm's stork.
