5. Forest Restoration (Community Based Approach) – Giam Siak Kecil LandscapeIn October 2014, Professor Miyawaki, a well-known Japanese Botanist and Expert in plant ecology, came to one of our concession area in Perawang, Riau to inspire the community living in Rasau Kuning District to plant trees. During his visit, he recommended an initiative to plant 10,000 Shoreasp (dipterocarpaceae). In line with APP's commitment to support 1 mio ha restoration and protection of natural forest, APP is now preparing a 25 ha forest restoration project in the core zone of GSK Landscape and Rasau Kuning District which can accommodate around 10,000 Shoreasp (dipterocarpaceae). Furthermore, the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) Japan is planning to collaborate in forest enrichment by planting an exchange species and sharing information. APP welcomes more collaboration and support from all stakeholders.
