Last month, I joined a group of Japanese visitors on a reforestation mission in the 411-hectare Kinarut Eco Forest Park, about 26km or 35 minutes drive from Kota Kinabalu city. This eco-forest park was established way back in 2002 with the support from Fujtsu, JICA and other Japanese companies with the aim to reforest the park by planting indigenous tree species, such as seraya, kapur, nyatoh and keruing. 
We were welcomed by the manager of the eco-forest park followed by a briefing.
