Kuba'an-Puak Coffee Table Book Launch

On 2 August, Forest Department Sarawak and WWF-Malaysia launched a new coffee table book, which was unveiled on the sidelines of the 18th Malaysian Forestry Conference in Kuching.

The book entitled, The Kuba’an-Puak Story: Journey Towards A Green Corridor, features stories from Kuba’an-Puak, home to indigenous peoples, focusing on Penan and their close relationship with nature and contribution in Sustainable Forest Management (SFM).

The stories not only convey Penan’s special relationship with the forests, mountains, rivers, plants and animals, they also document the community’s traditional knowledge, wisdom and oral history; concerns and hopes; and their journey in sustainable forest management alongside with other stakeholders towards a green corridor in the Heart of Borneo.

It is hoped that through this coffee table book, people can see the importance of forests and how people can and should be managing them sustainably.

The forests in Kuba’an-Puak are not only for the Penans and people of Sarawak, for the international communities.

The book costs RM150 per copy and can be bought from WWF-Malaysia’s Kuching Office and its headquarters at Petaling Jaya, during office hours from Monday to Friday, or via email to my.swkrfp@wwf.org.my.

The book is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
