Heart of Borneo Roadshow at Telupid

On the 25th of June until 27th of June 2024, BSBCC has been invited to the district of Telupid to participate in the Heart of Borneo Programme organised by the Rainforest Discovery Centre (Educational of Sabah Forestry Department). The 3-days programme started with the community engagement that involve Kampung (village) Lumou, Kampung Kopuron and Kampung Bestaria.

They participated in a role-playing game representing several parties to simulate a real situation related to sustainable development and conservation. Participants also visited our booths, allowing information exchanges between the participants and visitors. The next day, we engaged primary schools’ students from 7 schools around the area (SK Karamuak, SK Imbak, SK Kiandongo, SK Sogo-Sogo, SK Entilibon, Skg Linayukan and SK Telupid). They listened to talks from all the exhibitors, participated in quizzes and visited our exhibition booths. On the last day, we attended another community engagement programme involving Kampung Entilibon Asal, Kampung Singgah Mata, Kampung Simpang Entilibon. Participants from the three villages attended talks from all exhibitors and visited our exhibition booths.

In conclusion, we engaged a total of 6 villages and 7 schools in a time frame of 3 days, thanks to the invitation from Sabah Forestry Department. It is a big achievement for us, and we hope we are able to do more continuously in the future.
