At the Kampung Sungai Klewang nursery in Royal Belum State Park, Perak, over 1,000 forest tree seedlings nurtured for more than a year and a half are being transported carefully in wheelbarrows to waiting boats. They will be taken to an area where local communities had previously practiced shifting agriculture and replanted.

Established in 2020, the nursery is fully operated by the Jahai Orang Asli.
