Our project partner @WildAsia trained farmers in the #FONAP smallholder project in applying various sustainable farming methods that help improve #soil fertility and water balance.
#WorldSoilDay
This collaborative partnership focuses on jurisdictional approaches in supporting the growth of traceable and sustainable palm oil production by small producers in selected landscapes in Sabah. This is also a great opportunity to connect our partner directly to the farmers.
#happeningnow We are delighted to welcome our project partner @IDHTrade to our Sandakan office today. They will also meet some of our farmers in Kinabatangan and see first-hand the work that we do in Sabah.
Our Executive Director & Founder, Dr Reza Azmi will be speaking at Mitigating Human-Elephant Conflicts (HEC) Within Smallholder Landscapes in Sabah; organized by @SeratuAatai and @proforest
