Project B
About 800 acre of oil palm planted are between Lot 1 and Lot 2 Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary
Sabah Wildlife Officer also identified four (4) units totaling about 800 acres of Oil Palm planted land, where the Borneo Elephants had difficulty in passing with their newborn babies. Only a few trees cover the river bank which almost disrupted their migration routes and ecosystem continuity. Oil palm planted land that brings significant profits to owners is difficult to convince to sell. Through hard work of the Wildlife Officer, BCT find possibility to purchase the area. It estimated to require over 8 million ringgit, or $2.8 million USD to purchase.
Update: In March 2008, BCT purchased NT 1236, a five-acre forest directly on Borneo Elephant migration route though individual donation through Fukuyama Zoo, Hiroshima prefecture, Japan. Thank you!

Project C
Over 1000 hectares of land located between Kretam Forest Reserve and Kulamba Wildlife Reserve revealed at least two Sumatran Rhino inhabitants.
The Forest Department have started trying to secure the state land as forest reserve to connect Kretam. However, over thousand hectares are already alienated and title given to private companies and individuals. In order to connect the ecosystems for two out of 30 surviving Sumatran Rhinos, BCT have started negotiating land title holder for purchase or donation.
