在当地合作伙伴的支持下,该项目旨在改善 170 000 多公顷森林的管理,并试点恢复 25 公顷地貌退化地区。
Protecting the forest ecosystem
Ulu Muda Forest Complex covers close to 164,000 hectares of abundant forest across eight connecting forest reserves. Along with its ecological corridor, the whole landscape extends more than 170,000 hectares. As one of the last remaining large intact lowland forests in Malaysia, it is a biodiversity hotspot.
尽管森林非常重要,但其生态系统正受到威胁。约 80% 的森林被指定用于木材生产。木材采伐过程中松动的土壤被冲入水道,导致水质恶化。此外,周期性的干旱和洪水因气候变化而加剧,加剧了水和粮食安全的风险。随着大象栖息地的缩小和森林边缘土地使用的发展,大象正在侵占附近的村庄,从而引发与当地人的冲突。

Our project hopes to change this. To improve the management and conservation in the region, WWF-Malaysia's conservation team will monitor the area and drive efforts to advocate for its protection. Critical sites for reforestation will be identified and restored, involving various restoration methods, monitoring, and maintenance.
While serving as a refuge for an abundance of wildlife, more than 4,900 people from neighboring villages rely on Ulu Muda for water, food, and livelihoods.
大多数当地人靠采摘橡胶、捕鱼、划船、生态旅游和其他与森林相关的传统活动谋生。作为一个重要的集水区,乌鲁木达的森林提供的水能满足了大量的家庭、工业和农业用水需求,包括吉打州水稻生产所需的灌溉用水,该州被誉为马来西亚的 "大米碗"。

我们知道,当地社区与乌鲁木达及其提供的服务息息相关。在开展恢复和管理活动的同时,该项目还将有助于提高人们对森林重要性的认识,并增强当地社区支持保护工作的能力。 。
