Of
the over 3,000
hectares almost 2,000 hectares are planted.
Based on extensive analyses, parts of these have
been taken out of the production of quality teak
so that today 1,131 hectares are
intensely maintained.
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.
