Forest
ownership, timber harvesting and forest management
Timber
harvesting and forest management is one of the primary business
activities of WTK.
To-date, our organization has forest concession areas in different
parts of Sarawak. While carrying out our timber harvesting operations,
steps are taken to ensure the astute management of the forest are in
line with the ITTO's standard of forest management and FMU
certification to attain the most sustainable yielding of a renewable
forest resource. One significant step adopted by WTK
to minimize the impact of harvesting operation on natural forest
environment was the introduction of aerial harvesting using giant
helicopter in 1993. WTK
is the
pioneer in the heli-harvesting operation of timber in Malaysia. Quality
timber logs are selectively harvested and directly air-lifted by
helicopter to the drop zone with no ground disturbances. Helicopter
harvesting system is recognized and proven to be a low environmental
impact harvesting system on the natural habitat of tropical rain
forest.
WTK group is
currently using the technologically innovated low impact ground-based
timber harvesting operation technique called "Logfishing". Its
heavy-duty cable allows extraction of logs in hill forest area without
constructing skid trails.
