World Forestry Day has been celebrated around the world for 30 years to remind communities of the importance of forests and the many benefits which we gain from them. Up to 500 volunteers are expected to participate in the planting of 10,000 seedlings of an indigenous peat swamp forest species. The Raja Musa Peat Forest Rehabilitation Programme is an initiative to rapidly create forest cover in the degraded reserve and bring back its biodiversity.
