印尼婆羅洲保育項目：建立社區苗圃以復修棲息地
Indonesian Borneo Protection Project: Developing Local Community Nurseries to Restore Habitats
Sebangau 國家公園佔地約五千七百平方公
里，蘊藏世上其中一個最重要的泥炭沼澤
森林，於二零零四年獲劃定為保護區。公
園同時是極度瀕危物種婆羅洲猩猩 (Pongo
pygmaeus) 及婆羅洲白鬚長臂猿(Hylobates
albibarbis) 的家園，其中園內的婆羅洲猩
猩種群更是世上最大的受保護種群。自二
零一九年以來，保育基金一直支持 Borneo
Nature Foundation（BNF） 的 保 育 工 作，
以復修及保護公園生態環境。
Sebangau 國家公園是地球重要碳庫，擁有
豐富的生物多樣性及自然資源，因此必須妥
善保護。可是，這片泥炭沼澤森林及其物種
正面臨火災、非法伐木、泥炭地乾涸及非法
捕獵的嚴重威脅。在二零二零至二零二一年
度，BNF 建造了社區苗圃，以拓展修復棲
息地的工作。這些苗圃有助當地居民認識保
護天然資源的重要性，加強他們與家園環境
的連繫，並讓他們學習到如何保護及復修當
地生態系統。此外，這計劃還幫助當地社區
以有助生物多樣性發展的方式，開發未充分
利用的土地，提供就業機會給居民。
令人鼓舞的成果

消失中的森林
The Disappearing Forest
印尼森林是世界上森林流失得最快的地方，
據估計，在 1973 年至 2015 年間，印尼婆羅
洲合共有 144,000 平方公里的原始森林消失，
主要原因是由抽乾泥炭地而引起的森林火災，
其他原因還包括開墾耕地及伐木。
Indonesia's rate of forest loss ranks among
the highest in the world. Researchers
estimate that between 1973 and 2015,
Indonesian Borneo lost a total of 144,000 km 2
of old-growth forest. Forest fires from peat
drainage are one of the primary causes for
this loss, along with plantation establishment
and timber harvesting.

Measuring about 5,700 km , Sebangau National Park contains one of the
world's most important peat-swamp forests and was designated as a
protected area in 2004. Within this forest are the largest protected populations
of critically endangered Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) and Bornean
white-bearded gibbons (Hylobates albibarbis). Since 2019, OPCFHK has
supported the Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF) in their conservation efforts to
restore and protect the park.
While priority should be given to conserving Sebangau National Park because
it is a globally signifi cant carbon store and a source of biodiversity and natural
resources, the peat-swamp forest and its inhabitants face serious risks from
fi re, illegal logging, peatland drainage and hunting. In 2020/21, BNF established
community seedling nurseries to augment the habitat restoration efforts. These
nurseries help local families learn about the importance of conserving their region's
natural resources, enhance their
connection to their environment,
and offer opportunities to develop
the skills and capacity they need
to protect and restore this vital
part of their local ecosystem. They
also empower local communities
to develop underutilised land in
ways that promote biodiversity and
create occupational opportunities
for locals. © Rory Moon/Borneo Nature Foundation
