This study was conducted in four study sites, namely Kampung Teluk Soaiun, Kampung Tampenau, Kampung Bumiputra and Kampung Sri Aman which are located near Mount Silam. The villages were all located within the Sapagaya Virgin Jungle Reserve (Class 6) and Sepagaya Forest Reserve (Class 1) in Lahad Datu. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the socio-economic condition of the community, their perception on conservation efforts in the forest reserves and their level of dependency on forest resources. The methodology utilized to conduct this study included focus group discussion, household survey, key informant interview and literature review. A total number of 40 respondents were surveyed for the purpose of the study. The study findings will assist related stakeholders in understanding the livelihood condition of the communities, the issues and concerns that the community are facing and their current socio-economic status and these can further improve the design and planning of projects related to the community.
