The Uma Bawang Resident's Association (UBRA) represents a community that has successfully used innovative mapping efforts, to legally defend land rights and access to forest lands.
Projects supported by UBRA provide incomes to small communities without endangering forest resources and are complemented by work in reforestation and restoration of damaged forest lands.
Activities include communal rice farming and milling, pig-rearing, handicrafts marketing, growing pepper and fruit trees, and developing sustainable teakwood plantations.
UBRA helps communities learn skills that provide cash income.
UBRA has planted 4,000 tree seedlings in degraded areas, with an average of 200 fruit trees planted per family, and is leading a new reforestation initiative focused on native species.
