Feasibility study of a forest conservation and ​reforestation project in Malaysia

Client:

Jauhar Green

[project entity repreenting a royal family in Malaysia]

Role:

Consultant

Overview:

Forests, peatland and mangroves in Malaysia continue to reduce in size ​due to unrelenting pressures from palm oil and other industries, ​threatening the country's biodiversity and contributing to large ​quantities of carbon emissions through reduction of carbon stocks.

The purpose of this engagement was to:

• identify areas with high carbon stocks that continue to experience ​land clearing,
  

• define an approach for the restoration and reforestation of fallow ​land, and
  

• develop a business case based on the projected carbon credit ​issuance resulting from the proposed conservation and ​reforestation efforts.
