Natural and artificial regenerations are extensively practised in Sabah. The paper highlights a few special problems relating to studies on regeneration and reafforestation in Sabah. Shortage of research personnel and facilities, and methodology available for studies are considered to be the most acute problems.
Among other things, the author considers that special training courses on research methods and techniques are necessary for the young researchers, and timber importer nations such as, Japan, Korea and others should provide technical aid to Sabah with the aim of solving the basic management problems so as to ensure continuous supply of timber. This will not only benefit Sabah but also the importer nations, in the long run.
