Biodiversity Conservation R&D

In order to formulate effective biodiversity conservation strategies and to promote sustainable agriculture, SOPB has embarked on R&D projects to conserve jungle reserves and wildlife sanctuaries to preserve biodiversity of its environment.

An area of about 200 hectares of regenerating secondary peat forest has been set aside for conservation and biodiversity purposes, namely, Tinbarap Conservation Forest (TCA) near Miri, Sarawak.

We have 3 main collaborative programs with researchers from local research body and university that support the biodiversity conservation research in this conservation area: -
