 Community Agroforestry as an Alternative Land use System - A Sarawak Case StudyBy MC Wong 2001-06-16 | Land development schemes in Sarawak since 1970s are largely copied from Peninsular Malaysia that originated form the colonial government's concept of modern development. The effort was not successful because of failing to recognise the differences of ethnic backgrounds between the two regions within the country. Recently, the state turns to private and joint venture project to develop state land and the native customary right (NCR) land. The newly conceived land bank concept termed as 'konsep baru' or new concept is adopted, to convert NCR land for monocrop plantation particularly oil palm. Due to lack of consultation and inappropriateness of the project, many targeted Dayak communities refuse the scheme. The full report can be viewed/downloaded here. Attached files
