 Bengoh Dam Environmental Impact AssessmentBy Rengah Sarawak Natural Resource and Environmental Board (NREB) 2008-07-15 | Volume One of the proposed water reservoir dam across Sungei Sarawak Kiri, Kuching, Sarawak. Prepared by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). The Bengoh Dam will "inundate" an area of land 8.72 kms squared, approximately the size of 173 olympic swimming pools, affecting 1009 Bidayuh people living in four Kampongs, or villages, accessible only by foot. It will also "inundate" a vast inventory of plant and wildlife species, some of which have not been recorded in the EIA. Does Sarawak need another dam? Several unique ornamental ferns of the epiphytic Lycopodium family, found in Kampong Semban, are a threatened species. None are recorded in the EIA. Two carnivorous pitcher plant species from the Nepenthes family were found between Kampong Sait and Rejoi. All pitcher plants are a protected species in Sarawak. No species of pitcher plant are recorded in the EIA. Wildlife identified in the EIA include:
All bats are a Protected Species in Sarawak. Other protected species to be "inundated" by the Bengoh Dam include flying squirrel, porcupine, pangolin and civet. Monkeys are known to raid Kampong gardens and farms. Some are kept as pets. No primates were recorded in the EIA. All primates are a Protected Species in Sarawak. Other fauna identified by villagers include wild boar, deer, several snakes and lizard. None of these species are recorded in the EIA.
