How was SARAWAK FORESTRY formed?
The concept of SARAWAK FORESTRY started when the International Tropical Timber Organisation (ITTO) mission to Sarawak identified a number of weaknesses that must be identified if the State is to sustainably manage its forests. The ITTO recommended a new model, independent of the civil service be given this task, as the Department of Forests has many constraints and limits to effectively achieve sustainable forest management. Following the study, the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly approved The SFC Ordinance and Sarawak Forestry Corporation Sdn. Bhd. was established to undertake the task.
