摘要

Hill forests will continue to be an important source of the future timber supply in Peninsular Malaysia. This is true when most of the lowland forests have largely been converted for other land-based development. Hill forests occur on mountain terrain of the country that ranges from 300 to 800 m above mean sea level and are categorized into lower and upper dipterocarp forests. These forests are generally managed for productive and protective functions. A considerable portion of the production forests has been allocated for sustainable production of timbers, while the remaining is set aside as protection forest for the conservation of biodiversity, forest recreation, water catchment, Virgin Jungle Reserve (VJR), wildlife sanctuary, amenity, education and research. In the production forests, the distribution of timber trees, however, is generally scattered, richer on the ridge tops and lower slopes, but poorer on the steeper slopes. The forest stands are also dominated largely by tree species in the emergent and main storey but fewer trees in the understorey and in the lower part of the main storey. Intensive rehabilitation efforts through tree planting programmes are therefore necessary to increase the productive capacity of the hill forests as well as to ensure that the timber trees are well distributed in the stand. This paper highlights several issues and challenges encountered in the implementation of forest rehabilitation activities in the hill forests. It also attempts to outline important policies and strategies emphasizing the importance of hill forests under the Sustainable Forest Management practices in Peninsular Malaysia.
