Biodiversity Conservation Certificates

A Biodiversity Conservation Certificate (BCC) represents the biodiversity benefits of 100 square meters of protection and restoration of the Malua Forest Reserve. BCCs enable individuals and businesses to contribute to making biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration a commercially viable land use in Malaysia.

Enter Malua Rainforest and you can purchase BCCs online from as little as $5US. A certificate with a picture of an iconic rainforest species of your choice will be sent to you or can be gifted to another person.

Each BCC is unique and listed on Markit Environmental Registry, providing transparency and guaranteeing credibility for buyers.

Individuals

Individuals can purchase BCCs to help counter the global trend of habitat loss. Asia's forests and wildlife are at high risk from commercial logging and agribusiness driven by expanding populations and increased consumption. Each BCC contributes to an innovative effort to conserve and restore the Malua Forest as a wildlife refuge and supports the Malua BioBank in demonstrating the important value of biodiversity.

Businesses

The Malua BioBank works with businesses and organizations to integrate BCCs into their operations and products as part of larger efforts to identify and address supply chain impacts. Energy, food and cosmetics companies relying on agribusiness products, particularly palm oil, are increasingly scrutinized for perceived impacts on rainforests. As new models for sustainable production of these goods scale up to meet growing demand, the Malua BioBank fills a critical need for market-based solutions to environmental impacts. Businesses can benefit by:

  • Addressing supply chain impacts and life cycle assessments related to rainforest impacts
  • Integrating conservation strategies directly into supply chains
  • Adding value with eco-labels that support the Malua BioBank
  • Identifying branding opportunities from supporting biodiversity conservation
  • Developing sourcing strategies with near-term conservation benefits and long-term sustainability

    • Corporate support and partnerships help ensure that the Malua BioBank fulfills its objective to help tip the balance of land use economics in favor of sustainable resource management in Asia's threatened forests.
