The National REDD Plus Strategy (NRS) builds upon existing relevant policies. The building block of the Strategy is based upon the best practices related to forest management systems in the country. This Strategy is updated in line with Malaysia's Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Agreement.
The objective of forest management is to ensure the continuity of product flow while conserving complex ecosystems and flora and fauna. Malaysia has implemented a selective harvesting system.
