Chief Minister briefed on KRCP
Hajiji presents a memento to Rumsey while others look on.
KOTA KINABALU: Partners of the Kuamut Rainforest Conservation Project (KRCP), a public-private partnership between the Sabah Forestry Department, Yayasan Sabah, and Permian Malaysia, a subsidiary of Permian Global met with Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor at Menara Kinabalu here today. 

At the meeting, Permian Global Chairman Stephen Rumsey briefed the Chief Minister on the project, which had its first monitoring report verified last month, demonstrating that it meets internationally recognised standards for its climate, community, and biodiversity progress.

This milestone enables the conservation initiative to protect and restore 83,381 ha of tropical rainforests in the Tongod and Kinabatangan districts to generate its first tranche of Verified Carbon Units (VCU).

Hajiji said the KRCP is a testament to how the public and private sectors can work together in an impactful and transparent way that engages and empowers local community participation from the outset.

Also present were Permian Malaysia Chief Executive Officer Ivy Wong Abdillah, Yayasan Sabah Director Datuk Ghulam Haidar Khan Bahadar, State Forestry Chief Conservator Datuk Frederick Kugan and General Manager of Yayasan Sabah’s wholly owned subsidiary Rakyat Berjaya Sdn Bhd,  Dr Esther Li.
