FOREST
RESEARCH IN SABAH (NORTH BORNEO)
Forest Research in North Borneo was
first placed on a regular footing with the recruitment of a Forest Ecologist in
1955. Prior to the arrival of these officers, research had been conducted as a
part time occupation by administrative Forest Officers, notably H.G. Keith and
J. Agama.
The research problems posed by the opening, in 1952, of the forests
of North Borneo to intensive exploitation by modern mechanical methods were so
great and so general to character, that it was thought well not to confine
research efforts, in the earlier years, by a rigid programme; the general
exploratory stage has now passed and with the filling once again of the posts
of both Ecologist and Forest Botanist the time is opportune for the publication
of this present programme.
