Compensatory forest plantations : the Malaysian experience.
The history of forest plantation development in Malaysia is briefly described. To date, almost 55 000 ha of plantations have been established under the Compensatory Forest Plantation Project (launched in 1982 with the main objective of supplementingthe timber supply shortage from natural forests) in 7 states of Peninsular Malaysia with the planting of fast-growing hardwood species, mainly Acacia mangium. In Sabah and Sarawak, about 90 000 and 10 000 ha, respectively, have been established. Other than exotic species, a wide range of potential indigenous species of dipterocarps and non-dipterocarps are suggested for plantations. There are large potential areas available for future forest plantation development throughout the country, including more than 700 000 ha in Peninsular Malaysia. With the present investment incentives provided by the government, there are vast opportunities for the private sectors' involvement in the forest plantation projects.
