Protect, Restore, Conserve (PRC)

Malaysia is a megadiversity country with uncountable number of species constituting terrestrial ecosystem that all of us treasured as our National Capital, Resources & Heritage. The loss of biodiversity is one of the greatest environmental challenges that we face today. In Malaysia logging, agriculture, palm oil and rubber development have all contributed to increase Forest Fragmentation & Species Loss.

From 2001 to 2020, Malaysia lost 2.73Mha of humid primary forest, making up 32% of its total tree cover loss in the same time period - (Source : Global Forest Watch)

Deforestation has the following consequences:

Reduction Of Forest Cover.
Loss Of Flora & Fauna.
Damage To The Water Catchment And River System.
Loss Of Tourism Development Resource & National Natural Heritage.
Elimination Of Potential Medicinal Resources.
Resources Loss For Education & Research.

Protect

Protect the forest from further degradation and establish a corridor linking the forest fragment in the oldest rainforest of Central Forest Spine (CFS).

Restore

Restoring previously degraded ecosystems through replanting trees to provide essential habitat for threatened flora & fauna species.

Conserve

Securing the forest habitat and land for a multitude of species as a Nature Reserve for all time.

Our Tropical Rainforest is the Thermostat of the Earth
The Forest absorbs massive amounts of solar radiation helping regulate temperature.
Taken together, these processes help to stabilize Earth's Climate.
Rainforests also help to maintain the world's water cycle, rainfall, humidity, temperature
Absorbs carbon dioxide and provide as with oxygen

Bambusa Foundation's Forest Conservation campaign with a twist: #myTree

First #myTree offering : 500 Trees

Unit price for 1 years : RM 100 / USD 24

Unit price for 5 years : RM 500/ USD 120

(Minimum Adoption: 5 years)

Contributors pay to OWN A TREE and preventing it from being cut down and logged for 50 years through our Protect, Restore & Conserve (PRC) Initiatives.

Each and every one of these trees will be "sold" in which the owner of the #myTree essentially owns the tree.
All transaction and ownership records will be supported by a digital contract agreement.
Every tree will be geo-tagged and assigned a unique #myTree cryptographic code. Each Tree has it's own fingerprint

Bambusa Foundation with it's collaboration with it's partner Bambusa Sdn Bhd has a 50-year rights and access to land and resources to this concession from the Perak State Forestry Department.

Help us to make a difference, by owning #myTree you are saving a fragment of the PIAH Forest Reserve the Oldest Tropical Rainforest (130 million years old) and its ecosystem.

Forest range needed to be Protected, Restored & Conserved

A team of Rangers will conduct the plotting of tree species at PIAH Forest Reserve and do selection of trees for adoption.
Later each adopted trees are tagged to mark their exact location and obtain real-time access of their condition

Poverty Alleviation - By engaging Community living in & around the Forest

Empowering Communities - By raising Awareness, Capacity Building, Rights to Education, Rights & Access to Land & Resources

Implementation of Technology - Annual large-scale remote sensing survey of the forest

Seed Bank, Nursery & Tissue Culture Lab - Seed bank is important to ensure the sustainability of the Forest Ecosystem

State Government - Annual land lease/premium fees to the Perak State Government

To reduce the fragmented forest from deforestation, reduction of forest cover, loss of Flora & Fauna, damage to the water catchment and river system.

Offsetting CO2 Emission

Create Wildlife Refuge - taking into account all undomesticated lifeforms including birds, insects, plants, fungi, and even microscopic organisms.

Protecting the Pollinator - Virtually all of the world's seed plants need to be pollinated.
