Out of some 2'500
hectares 1'044 hectares are
intensely maintained. Based on extensive analyses, parts of these have
been taken out of the production of quality teak.
For environmental reasons, about one quarter of
the area in not planted and is mostly
eco-bridges and -islands where the local flora
and fauna can flourish and develop. Roads are
being established for maintenance and as fire
breaks, and an educational garden is set up per
plantation. Accommodation and sanitary
installations for the labourers, depositories
for the material, and a house for the foreman
and his family have been built.
