Voice of the people in conservation: the Piasau Camp story
2015
Tisen, Oswald Braken | Abang Arabi Abang Aimran
Piasau Camp was established as an exclusive residential area for Sarawak Shell Bhd. employees in the 1950s. A final decision was made in 2013 to discontinue the use of this residential area. As the area is one of the few remaining green landscapes in urban Miri, the local community seized upon the opportunity and campaigned vigorously for the establishment of a nature reserve on the site. The government relented and Piasau Camp was officially gazetted as Piasau Nature Reserve (NR) in March 2014. This NR is currently being developed as an urban forest park for the conservation of wildlife species such as Oriental Pied Hornbill, Anthracoceros albirostris, as well as for recreation purposes.
