Ranok Hijau means “peat swamp turning green,” symbolising the revival of degraded forest land through reforestation with native species. The project focuses not only on planting trees, but on restoring entire ecosystems and preserving biodiversity. 

For us, reforestation is never just about planting trees. It is about healing ecosystems scarred by continuous disturbance and degradation, preserving the biodiversity that makes our forests unique and empowering the very communities whose back yards were once covered entirely by these forest systems.

Orang Asli Jakun communities lead the effort, using their traditional knowledge and deep connection to the land. In the pilot phase, 13 indigenous members, including women, planted native species such as Durian Paya, Kerantai, Keranji, and Pulai to support wildlife and ecosystem recovery.

By replanting species that belong here, we restore forests that are resilient, deeply rooted in local conditions and able to support the life around them. When local wisdom meets ecological restoration, the result is not only healthier forests but also stronger communities.
