Kota Kinabalu: A collaboration between the Rhino and Forest Fund (RFF) and the Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Deutschland e.V. to convert oil palm plantations into new rainforest in Borneo a year ago has reached an important milestone.Since the collaboration of RFF and BOS started, approximately 8,000 new trees were planted and now grow to become valuable wildlife habitat.
The 8,000 new trees were planted on 50 hectares of former oil palm plantations.
These new rainforest sites will serve as a wildlife corridor between two protected areas that are currently separated by plantations impassable to many wildlife species: Tabin and Kulamba Wildlife Reserves.
