Pin Supu Forest Reserve is a special place with seven different types of forests, surrounded by five villages. A crucial project is underway from 2021 to 2025 to protect this unique ecosystem. In the past, encroachment posed a major threat due to its proximity to villages. To address this, the Sabah State Government, represented by Pin Supu Forest Reserve management, signed a 10-year agreement (2016-2026) with Kopel Berhad for joint forest management.

This collaboration has led to positive outcomes, with the community benefiting from eco-tourism, now a vital part of their economy. The initiative also promotes Sustainable Forest Management in the communities surrounding Pin Supu Forest Reserve, Kinabatangan. Together, they are working towards a sustainable future for both the forest and the people.
