water from Tawai FR and Sg. Karamuak of which the main watershed area for the latteris Trus Madi FR. Subsistence farming is carried out within the statelands. So basically,FMU 17A does not significantly contribute to the basic needs of the local communities.4.4.1.6 – HCVF 6 – Are the forests in FMU 17A critical to local communities’ culturalintegrity?So far, no important cultural sites have been identified inside FMU 17A. However, thereare some caves with burial sites located along Sg Millian, which is outside the boundaryof FMU 17A.4.5 Management of HCVFsManagement of some potential values of HCVFs is extremely challenging if spatialinformation about the location of these values is lacking. Thus, in this FMP, only theidentified HCVFs mandate for a precautionary approach for management of values, andtherefore, require a high level of monitoring and mitigation measures to ensure themaintenance of these values (see Table 4.3).Areas defined as sensitive or unique for specific elements are under conservation andwill not be disturbed by forestry operations (see Figure 6.2). Areas >25 o slopes areconsidered as too steep and will be protected from future logging and excluded from anyclearing. Compartments that have an average slope that is >25 o will be protected asconservation areas. Buffer zones to protect rivers, streams and riparian areas will beidentified, shown on a map and recorded according to forestry operational procedureslisted in Appendix C.For large mammal populations, habitat contiguity in the form of natural forest cover iscritical in ensuring the long-term prospects of viable populations. As a rule of thumb, thearea required for viable mammal populations such as elephants, is approximately 50,000 -100,000 ha. FMU 17A is fortunate because it shares a common boundary with DFR (onthe west) and Tawai FR (on the north), which can provide better wildlife habitatcontiguity. Since there are no plans for timber harvesting during the plan period, it isanticipated that there will be minimum disturbance to wildlife movements in the area.Likewise, the SFD plans to support conservation through rehabilitation of the forest intoa productive natural forest that meets international certification requirements such as,those fulfilled by the Deramakot Forest Reserve.Management of the conservation values based on HCVFs will include a number of keyattributes associated with planned rehabilitation activities as defined in thismanagement plan and in the operational procedures.35

Forestrehabilitation and silviculture arenecessary.(a) Orang-utan. Area below 200m a.s.l. Timber production with RIL methods,and/or rehabilitation whereappropriate.(b) Pygmy Elephant. Area below 200m a.s.l. None, as elephants can utilise openforest conditions.36
