Conservation:

Borneo Rainforest Lodge (BRL) is privileged to be located in the heart of Danum Valley Conservation Area (DVCA), a Class 1 Protection Forest Reserve under the Sabah Forestry Enactment 1968. These are forests conserved for the protection of watershed and maintenance of the stability of the soil, water conservation, and other essential climatic and environmental factors. Logging and hunting are not permitted in this area. The area is also protected under Wildlife Conservation Enactment 1997 where visitors have to adhere to a list of restrictions in order to conserve the forests habitat.

Since 2004, BRL has been collaborating with Japanese researchers (Kyoto University) in the Danum Orangutan Research Project (DORP) to study the ecology and behaviour of orangutans in undisturbed primary lowland dipterocarp forest surrounding BRL. These research data of more than 10 years are continuously being analyzed to conserve our orangutan species in the wild.

The lodge daily operations are adapting Green Practices as part of its commitment to minimizing carbon footprint in the rainforest. Solar-powered water heaters are installed in most chalets. All the waste produced are segregated and recycled accordingly. There is no single-plastic usage, instead, reusable drinking bottles and biodegradable lunch boxes are being used. For cleaning, only eco-friendly detergents are used and wastewater is treated with Effective Micro Organism (EM) mudball. Guests amenities are made from natural ingredients.

There is also tree planting programs and dipterocarp seedlings transplantation for both in-house guests and BRL’s employees as part of BRL’s conservation effort and awareness.
