The keynote presentation provides an overview of the scientific expedition, jointly organized by KTS Plantation Sdn. Bhd. and Sabah Forestry Department from the 8th to 18th of August, 2018, with participation from Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Sabah Wildlife Department, Sabah Parks and WWF Malaysia. Some 160 participants from at least 31 research groups were involved in this expedition. Research exploration included surveys on forest ecosystems, flora and fauna diversity, physical sciences and tourism potentials. This was the first biodiversity documentation of Sg. Rawog Conservation Area, covering an area of 3,118 ha within the Segaliud Lokan Forest Reserve, managed by KTS Plantation. The base camp was located in the middle of the conservation area in Compartment 56. Other study areas included Compartments 49 and 61. The various research activities during the 11-day expedition are highlighted in this presentation. It is hoped that all the data procured will enhance KTS Plantation‟s effort towards conserving this area, which is important as a wildlife corridor connecting Deramakot Forest Reserve and adjacent oil palm plantations. It also signifies the smart partnership in conservation management with relevant agencies.
