(June 19, Shiwuren) — A tree planting event was recently held at a Sabah forest reserve, with 35 Japanese students from Gifu High School participating, marking the ongoing strengthening of international cooperation in support of Sarawak’s environmental protection efforts under the 'Greening Sarawak' initiative.
The event attracted around 60 participants, including students from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak and local community members.
The activity was co-organized by the Sarawak Forest Department, the Malaysia-Japan Association, and Insar Tours & Travel.
During the event, a total of 360 seedlings of native tree species were planted, including lun, kapur bukit, and engkabang jantong.
The participation of Japanese students reflects the increasing attention of the international community toward Sarawak’s conservation plans, while also promoting cross-cultural exchange and the cultivation of environmental awareness among youths.
Additionally, the activity allowed participants to personally experience forest landscape restoration work and deepen their understanding of Sarawak’s forest ecosystems and natural heritage.
This initiative aligns with the state government’s 'Greening Sarawak' campaign, aiming to increase green coverage, strengthen ecosystem resilience, and encourage broader participation of communities, organizations, and international partners in environmental protection efforts.
