1:10,000 horizontal scale (1.5 X vertical exaggeration) Participatory 3D Model (P3DM) of the Buayan-Kionop Resource Catchment Area including areas inside and immediately adjacent to the Crocker Range Park, Sabah, Malaysia (January 2008 - ongoing)

Note: The model (288 km²) was built by Dusun Indigenous People with assistance provided by project staff. Located in the remote reaches of the upper Papar River, the villages in Buayan-Kionop are settlements that pre-date the 1984 establishment of the Crocker Range Park. Today, the three villages of Buayan, Tiku and Timpayasa are located outside the Park, whereas Kionop is located inside the Park.

Method/tools: P3DM and GIS

The people of Buayan-Kionop consider this area to be their ancestral lands. With no road access to markets, the Dusun people perform subsistence agriculture, hunting, and harvest of freshwater fish and forest products.

The Global Diversity Foundation’s (GDF) regional programme in Southeast Asia received a two-year post project grant from the Darwin Initiative. The grant supports the implementation of a participatory resource monitoring programme that will enable local institutional partners and communities (Sabah Parks, PACOS, the Dusun community in Buayan-Kionop and GDF) to conduct long-term assessments of subsistence activities in the CUZs of Crocker Range Park. The grant will allow local partners and GDF to expand upon the initial three-year Darwin Initiative project entitled “Ethnobiology of Proposed Community Use Zones of Crocker Range Park”, which ended in July 2007. The collaborative management approach advocated by the initial Darwin Initiative project has been embraced by the Sabah Parks officials. (Source GDF web site)
