KUCHING: The Sarawak Biodiversity Centre (SBC) has entered into access and benefit sharing agreements with five indigenous communities, ensuring that they will gain from the commercialisation of an essential oil derived from a tree they have traditionally used for generations.
The participating communities are the Bidayuhs of Kampung Kiding in Padawan near here, the Lun Bawangs of Long Telingan and Long Kerabangan in Lawas district and the Kelabits of Pa’Ukat and Pa’Lungan in Bario.
