Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg said that the state government is in the process of formulating a biodiversity masterplan to integrate biodiversity and ecosystem into the state’s laws and institutions and to further guide sustainable economic development. The initiative will include restoring 200,000 hectares of degraded forest areas, certification of three million hectares of long-term forest timber license area (natural forest) and 230,000 hectares forest plantation by 2025 under the Malaysian Timber Certification Scheme or any other recognised global certification standard such as Forest Stewardship Council.
