CAN Forest Management Units (FMU) work? Well, introduced in 1997 to implement long-term sustainable forest management with balanced attention to its economic, social and environmental elements, the best, youngest and smallest of them – Jawala Plantation which is barely 11,043ha – started only eight years ago in 2016, shows it can be profitable.

The opinion is none other than that of a senior Sabah Forestry Department officer.

In an optimistic note and tribute, Musa bin Salleh, Deputy Chief Conservator of Forest, Sabah, said Jawala, winner of “The Best Model Forest Plantation” award, has “convinced” him it can be profitable.
