4.1. Challenges
The area surrounding our Iningeladan area in Mangkawagu is almost fully
planted with oil palm. Only our Iningeladan area is still covered in natural
forest. This situation has given pressure to the Mangkawagu Village
Iningeladan, whereby resource dependency is only concetrated in the
remaining forest.
A number of honey trees are also located in oil palm plantations nearby.

plantations were established. Only one honey tree has not been cut down, but
the bees do not go to that tree because the surrounding area is covered in oil
palm and there are no other trees for the bees to feed on.
