The launch of Nestle’s reforestation initiative, Project ReLeaf, will see the food and beverage manufacturer planting three million trees in Malaysia over the next three years. The trees will be planted across the Kinabatangan Wetlands and Merisuli Forest Restoration areas in Sabah, as well as in forest reserves along the Central Forest Spine in Peninsular Malaysia – which provide sanctuary for a great diversity of flora and fauna, including threatened wildlife such as orangutans, proboscis monkeys, Asian elephants, Malayan tigers, sun bears and tapirs. Forming part of the company’s global pledge to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Project ReLeaf builds on its pioneering Kinabatangan RiLeaf Project, which it established in 2011 in partnership with Yayasan Sime Darby and the Sabah Forestry Department (JPS) to help plant one million trees in Sabah.
