Today, we celebrate 100 years of Sir David Attenborough 💚 a voice that helped the world fall in love with nature.

For many of us working in forests, conservation, and sustainability, his documentaries were more than films. They were reminders that tropical forests are living worlds - rich with life, wonder, complexity, and deep interconnectedness.

From towering dipterocarps to orangutans, hornbills, elephants, rivers, fungi, insects, and Indigenous communities who have cared for these landscapes for generations - tropical forests are among the greatest natural treasures on Earth.

But perhaps one of Sir David’s greatest contributions was not only showing us beauty, but helping humanity understand responsibility.

That protecting forests is inseparable from protecting our shared future.

That climate, biodiversity, water, livelihoods, and people are deeply connected.

And that how we manage our forests matters.

As an organisation promoting sustainable forestry, we remain hopeful that science, collaboration, credible stewardship, and deeper respect for nature can help ensure tropical forests continue to thrive - not only as places of biodiversity, but as living systems that support communities and future generations.

Thank you, Sir David Attenborough, for inspiring millions to look closer, care deeper, and protect what remains.

What we protect today will shape the future of life tomorrow - for wildlife, for communities, and for generations to come.
Happy 100th Birthday. 🌏🌳💚

recently collaborated with on a focused workshop in Sarawak, Malaysia, to deepen understanding, dialogue, and practical pathways for meaningful engagement with Indigenous Peoples in forest stewardship.

The discussions highlighted the importance of:
🌱 Respecting Indigenous Peoples’ rights, knowledge systems, and governance
🌱 Building trust through early, inclusive, and culturally appropriate engagement
🌱 Aligning forest management with community priorities, livelihoods, and long-term wellbeing

We also shared about and the FSC Forest Stewardship Standard of Malaysia, as well as the SLIMF (Small or Low Intensity Managed Forests) and Community Criteria, the Continuous Improvement Procedure, and group certification approaches - which generated strong interest among participants.

These conversations reaffirm that sustainable forest management must be grounded in partnership, respect, and shared responsibility.

We look forward to continuing this journey together across Malaysia 🌳 ensuring that -certified forests not only protect ecosystems, but also support the communities who have stewarded them for generations.

With thanks to the Sarawak Dayak Iban Association (SADIA) for their support.

telah bekerjasama dengan dalam satu bengkel berfokus untuk memperkukuh pemahaman, dialog dan laluan praktikal bagi penglibatan bermakna Masyarakat Orang Asal dalam pemeliharaan hutan di Sarawak, Malaysia.

Perbincangan bengkel menekankan kepentingan:
🌱 Menghormati hak, sistem pengetahuan dan tadbir urus Masyarakat Orang Asal
🌱 Membina kepercayaan melalui penglibatan awal, inklusif dan sesuai dengan budaya
🌱 Menyelaraskan pengurusan hutan dengan keutamaan komuniti, sumber pendapatan dan kesejahteraan jangka panjang

Kami juga berkongsi mengenai dan Standard Pengurusan Hutan Malaysia, termasuk Kriteria SLIMF dan Komuniti, Prosedur Penambahbaikan Berterusan serta pendekatan pensijilan berkumpulan — yang mendapat sambutan menggalakkan daripada para peserta.

Perbincangan ini mengukuhkan lagi bahawa pengurusan hutan lestari mesti berlandaskan kerjasama, saling menghormati dan tanggungjawab bersama.

Kami menantikan untuk meneruskan perjalanan ini bersama-sama di seluruh Malaysia 🌳 memastikan hutan yang diperakui bukan sahaja melindungi ekosistem, malah menyokong komuniti yang telah menjaga dan memelihara hutan ini sejak turun-temurun.

Dengan ucapan terima kasih kepada Persatuan Dayak Iban Sarawak ( ) atas sokongan mereka.
