The Royal Society’s South East Asia Rainforest Research Programme (SEARRP) was established in 1985 in response to mounting concern over the future of SE Asia’s rainforests and through a conviction that by gaining a scientific understanding of tropical rainforest systems, ecology and dynamics a significant contribution could be made to their sustainable management and conservation – particularly in the context of global environmental change. Although the scope of the Programme includes all of SE Asia, our efforts are primarily focussed on Sabah, Malaysian Borneo.
