Aspect	Monitoring Elements	Monitoring Result
ECOLOGICAL	Fauna
	Composition and changes in fauna	Wildlife monitoring o   Baseline information was also collected on Ecological status of Mammal and Avifauna Species and recommendation for its management. o   A total of 40 of different mammal species with eleven species new record species in 2022, while for avifauna species, a total of ten (10) species new record with total of 27 species was recorded in 2022.
	Flora
	Growth rates, regeneration of the forest and condition of the forest	Permanent Sample Plots (PSP) o   Ten (10) PSPs have been established in February and March 2019 o   Re-assessment of PSP will be conduct in three (3) (min) or five (5) (max) year. o   No info on growth rates, regeneration till re-assessment
	Composition and changes in Flora	o   RIL Pre-inventory for Coupe 2 started in end of 2020 and still on going for coupe 3. Thus, Pre-inventory data was available only for 35 blocks in coupe 2 o   Family Dipterocarpaceae was the most abundant and dominated within all the PSPs with 1374 individuals recorded or about 30.61% of the total number and followed by Euphorbiaceae and Myristicaceae with 746 (16.62%) and 201 (4.48%) trees correspondingly. Other tree families recorded with more than 100 individuals were Burseraceae, Fagaceae, Lauraceae, Malvaceae, Myrtaceae and Rubiaceae.
ENVIRONMENT	Harvesting impacts	o   There is no still no harvesting impact has been evaluated since harvesting operation just started in year 2022.
	Environmental monitoring impact and compliances	o   Environmental monitoring impacts was conducted quarterly by consultant through Environmental Monitoring Report (EMR) o   Based on the EMR for quarter 1 until 4 for year 2022, the water qualities were generally found to be good, with the most parameter monitored within Class I to IIB of the NWQSM. pH and DO levels were moderately high (reading were fairly common for river water in Sarawak). The BOD, COD and ammoniacal nitrogen levels as well as the coliform count were all detected at the low sides. The TSS level was low and within the Class II limit of 50 mg/1. No oil and grease were detected in the waterway, showing that the machinery used were well maintained (i.e., no leakage), and the spent oil and grease had not been thrown indiscriminately into the watercourse.
ECONOMIC	Yield of all forest product	o   Production for FMU started from October 2022 and still progressively on going.
	Productivity of forest management	o   Production record of harvested area started on October 2022 and still on going for coupe 02BR.
	Efficiency of forest management	o   Evaluation between pre-felling inventory 100% enumeration and production of harvested area will be conducted end of the year since harvesting just started on October 2022
	Budget	o   Actual expenditure for year 2022 and budget for year 2023 have been prepared
SOCIAL	Local communities
