Background
This community protocol written by the Kiau community aims to
document the traditional knowledge and forest conservation practices of
the Kiau community in Kota Belud, especially those regarding the Kiau
Community Conserved Forest. It is a result of community documentations
and inputs from community representatives during community
workshops organized by PACOS Trust with funding from the
Commonwealth Foundation between 2015 to 2018.
Several people have contributed to the production of this document. First
and foremost, acknowledgement is given to the community
representatives who have provided input and carried out the
documentation. We would also like to thank PACOS Trust and all
individuals who have directly or indirectly contributed in the realization of
this community protocol.
This document has been consolidated and refined with the help of the
PACOS team and has gone through a review process with community
representatives to ensure the information contained within is authentic
and is truly according to the views and wishes of the community.
