Tree Planting

In conjunction with Borneo Jazz Festival (Miri) and Rainforest World Music Festival (Kuching), STB and Sarawak Forest Department began the tree-planting project in 2011 at the ecologically sensitive Kuching Wetlands National Park, a Ramsar Site. The tree-planting programme complements the festival’s conservation of endangered musical instruments, songs, and dances by raising awareness about conservation efforts and the ecological values of Sarawak’s rich and diverse flora and fauna. The festival has continued the annual tradition of mangrove tree-planting every year since 2011. The aim is to provide food for local wildlife while creating a buffer zone for coastal areas.
