Who are we?

Sapulut Forest Development Sdn Bhd, or fondly known as Sapulut, is a sustainable forestry company in Sapulut, located in the state of Sabah, Malaysia.

For many decades, Sabah's rain forest was logged extensively for its valuable timber. Although such uncontrolled practices have since ceased, its effect is still felt today. Many once forested regions are so badly degraded they are lost forever. As a responsible forestry company, we hope to reverse the damage. Hence, we are making it our mission, bringing back the natural forest and manage it sustainably.

We treasure the forest not only for its beautiful timbers but also as a habitat to a plethora of flora and fauna, as well as the native communities. To enhance the forests under our care, we are determined to restore parts of the degraded forest with well-thought replanting programs that includes indigenous and wildlife-friendly trees. This increases biodiversity and is the key to reviving the ecosystem to provide economic, environment and social services.

If you find our quest interesting and want to help us make a difference, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Thank you.

Forest Health and Functionality

To monitor forest health and overall functionality of the existing forested area, tree enumeration through the establishment and maintenance of Permanent Sample Plots (PSPs) is a scientific approach for documenting detailed changes in forest structure and composition. The output of the plot could provide baseline information on distributions of species and habitats of a particular site. The long-term monitoring activities, such as assessment of the standing trees of these plots would provide valuable information on the changes in plant diversity and richness, growth, mortality, regeneration and dynamics of sampled forest. This information on forest changes is an indicator of forest health and functionality.

At present, 50 PSPs are actively been monitored by Kitayama et al from Kyoto University and Sabah Forestry Department's Research and Development team.

10 additional plots established by Sapulut  and will be maintained continuously according to developed procedure.
