In this modern world, lesser and lesser people are interested to buy themselves woods. Yes, woods. Perhaps woods are considered as an old aged type of thing to think of, or somehow an outdated kind of stuff. Well, mind you, wood is still receiving a huge response from the buyers, in fact most of the houses in the modern countries are made of woods.
According to the Borneo Conservation Trust (BCT) Head of Conservation and Research, Raymond Alfred, customers are encouraged to buy certified woods to ensure the success of the global sustainable forest management. Such efforts need strong policies and strong marketing mechanism in every country, in fact, BCT has implemented a three year conservation programme with a local logging company that supplies only certified wood, as part of the Sabah Mega Biodiversity Corridor Programme Initiative.
The initiative was one that supports the Sabah Wildlife Department’s (SWD) Species Action Plan which strives to enhance forest ecosystem connectivity and corridors for Orangutans and the Bornean Elephants in the Segaliud Lokan Forest Reserve.
Interestingly, the recent visit by the Japanese students would also help raise awareness on the importance of utilizing certified wood for the sake of conservation and biodiversity management in Borneo’s forests.
Woods is one of the best material to built a house, and I strongly suggest that we should expose ourselves in this, to cope with the globalization.
