Sometimes we need moments of detachment to figure out all what has been done at the nature park and evaluate it for better understanding and focus, and then what’s next?<p></p><p>As a project that has taken more than ten years of development, I can say that it is the culmination of many strengths. Firstly, the project has to be sustainable before any further commitment can be poured into its further investment in terms of time, efforts, funds and future planning. To this end I can safely say that this has been achieved as I have managed to stay on with the project and passionate about it despite having to juggle time, money and efforts on daily basis to care for the place till presently.</p><p>One thing that I have done in Kuching on this trip is to create a new blog called <a href="https://ecoprepkambatik.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">“Kambatik Ecopreneurship”</a>. With some major success being achieved, I can now look back at many aspects of its development. These include philosophy, vision, planning, economic viability, marketing and aesthetics. This latest blog will document in pictures and writing the story behind the nature park that can act as a ready source for future reference.</p><p>My strengths in photography, writing, planning, dedication towards work, passion for plants, art and life-long learning have contributed tremendously to realise this dream project. The Kambatik Park is my pinnacle of passions. </p><p>Journal: 17 March,2023.</p><p><br /></p>Mahmud Yussophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07225219073904211229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387879465939763429.post-67384283858656731672021-05-19T07:26:00.003-07:002021-05-19T07:26:51.157-07:00Kambatik Park from northerly view<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOQ0fXjsUgU6kQ1Hw9xNk7jF-C-mGeoNFCApAirGJAl0cqA0FR3r00lfC19llJLswNiqBxEXZPVyC2BR2WhGe3QaIBEKyznrE_xbA277K8UJWFpuIXX8BDe9krj9qVKE5ZiCtvN9ihSkw/s2048/Park+view+north+side.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1044" data-original-width="2048" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOQ0fXjsUgU6kQ1Hw9xNk7jF-C-mGeoNFCApAirGJAl0cqA0FR3r00lfC19llJLswNiqBxEXZPVyC2BR2WhGe3QaIBEKyznrE_xbA277K8UJWFpuIXX8BDe9krj9qVKE5ZiCtvN9ihSkw/w400-h204/Park+view+north+side.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />This is a view of the park taken from a northerly location that is from top of a hill. This view of the park has not been able to be taken earlier because there was no access to the hill previously. Until of course the northern area of the park was illegally intruded and bulldozed for somebody's oil palm plantation. The bulldozing was halted and I gave stern warning to the intruder not to venture further into the park area.<br />The actions of the intruder will be subject to further scrutiny from now onwards.<p></p>Mahmud Yussophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07225219073904211229noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387879465939763429.post-88762509256767716642021-04-23T06:13:00.017-07:002021-04-23T06:18:47.098-07:00Smoking the Fernery<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I take today's Saturday the easy way. Walked around the park admiring the jungle greenery and anything that moves. But it was something that kept quiet but brightly coloured that attracted me. The Red Stink Bug was an excellent photoshoot candidate. Others in the line-up were the plumeria flower and the watery Rose Apple ( Jambu Air).<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The jungle is always there to be enjoyed. And there are ground areas that need to be regularly cut. That done I end the day with a strong cup of coffee from Sabah kaw kaw!! PLUS grilled tuna fish using dry jungle wood. Simple life but tons of pleasure. </span><br />

One of the thrills of blogging is to find your plant pictures taken up by authoritative bodies and placed them in their online encyclopedia. One such picture is the<i> Pholidocarpus sumatranu</i>s palm that grows naturally in my park in Bintulu. I have only three stands of this rare palm growing healthy.<br />
You can checkout more description on the palm by following this link...>>><a href="https://www.palmpedia.net/wiki/Pholidocarpus_sumatranus" target="_blank">https://www.palmpedia.net/wiki/Pholidocarpus_sumatranus </a> <br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Sunday is a good day to enter the jungle to discover more things or just looking for surprises. Today's excursion was rewarded by a closer view of the Crested Serpent Eagle. The preserved nature at the park is a favourite hunting ground for the eagle. The smallest raptor, the Bornean Falconet is a frequent visitor. The Crested Serpent Eagle however is a raptor or a bird of prey that is among the large - sized raptors that are seen and heard often as they encircle the park from far above the canopy of trees and uttering their distinctive shrill whistling call...wheeat...wheeatt... The eagle is attracted to the abundance of squirrels, lizards and small birds here</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"> The monsoon winds and torrential rains it bring are consistently on schedule this year and so is the end of year durian season. Sarawak, on this big island called Borneo is pounded yearly since ancient times by the monsoon winds bringing a brief period of flooding in some areas and rejuvenation of life in the overall physical environment. Here this short wet period is called "Landas' and since ancient times it come and go from November till February annually. For that reason we are able to live under a green envelope called the evergreen tropical rainforest. On the ground level I saw the Tiong bird (Hill Myna) and the Prevost's squirrel sharing a tall tree. They were happily playing and hunting for little preys on the branches and leaves.It seems every creature on earth needs the rains. For that matter I can't imagine myself living in the Sahara. Borneo- I love you.</span><br />

For the record, I stumbled upon a brown dragonfly which I have not seen before in the park.<br />
Location : Zone B, at the wetland or swampy area. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The lowland rainforest ecology.</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">The
preservation of lowland tropical rainforest at the park while at the same time
being integrated into agro-forestry practice in the Kambatik tradition has for the
last 15 years brought renewed hope in an ecological oil palm farming model. This model is sustainable even without any government help or subsidy and goes a long way to prove that competitive posture by small holders is a better bet for the preservation of ecological diversity in Sarawak. <span style="font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">The richness of the flora quality here even at lowland level i.e. about 30 meters above sea level (baseline= mouth of Kemena River) amazes me. The resulting freshness in the air is beyond description when compared to the air quality in Bintulu town. The hiatus of music from the birds at any time of day and the company of small animals (tree shrews, frogs, crickets, squirrels etc) are a boon to normal living.</span></div>

Though the trees have been the main reason for preservation of the evergreen jungle, other plants like epiphytes, climbers, stranglers or lianas add much needed interest. Orchids (especially the ground ones), tree ferns, bird's nest ferns, fungi and herbs ( e.g. wild gingers species) excite me when exploring the jungle.<br />

The biggest animal that still roam the forest (at night ) is the Sambar Deer. Monkeys are very rare now but squirrels, snakes and monitor lizards are constantly being encountered. Carpenter bees and colourful butterflies spring many surprises in the park.<br />
<br />
I believe the presence of water as in the swampy locations of the valleys and the frequent rains have life-sustaining qualities ans as such are not to be disturbed. The swamps and tall grasses mix well with the shrubby dillenia treelets and become increasing attractive to small birds that establish their nests in their thickets.<br />

I observe too that the Ong Lumok trees seem to thrive better now that they are transplanted in many locations where the ground is wet and dry at the same time. It is like saying that the Ong Lumok tree prefers to have one foot in water and the other on dry land.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Living in the Kambatik Park over the last 12 years have given me a rare opportunity to intervene in nature's development, while at the same time enjoying its presence for the air it produces and the company of its noisy and sometimes stealthy denizens that depend on the forest to thrive. The lowland rainforest ecology is a jewel to keep for posterity. </span><br />

After a slight rain in the morning was over I decided to explore the jungle behind where we stay. At Botanic Island One I, my attention was directed to some movement in the branches above me. I quickly get my zoom lens ready and then it was a series of clicks, clicks, clicks.. Checking in the camera later and counter referencing with my birding guide book I was pleasantly elated to discover that I had come across a lifer. It was the Raffles Malkoha (<i>Rhinortha chlorophaea</i>). On this encounter I was not able to meet its female as it is commonly reported that this species prefer to foraging with its partner. The main characteristics that strike me was its white-tipped tail and its beautiful rufous upper parts.<br />

<b>A short reflection.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I have great liberty in using FB to spread the word around the world about the Kambatik Park and connecting the name 'Bintulu' to it. It is not merely marketing the park as an ecological niche but also the name Bintulu. That's killing two birds with one stone. More than that, I enjoy contributing original experiences, photographs and design work. The park has given me vast opportunities to combine my various interests (and passion) in plants, wildlife, nature, beauty, design and planning a wildlife sanctuary. My time spent at the park for more than 12 years now has been most fulfilling and an important milestone in my life.</div>

Note: This posting is done in Kuching while spending the Hari Raya holidays (the end bit) in order to update stories about the park. More importantly is the fact that I have over the years used fb or Facebook to spread the word around regarding this place especially on the lines of eco-marketing the park. Lots of effort are taken to get the best of pictures, editing them and putting them in creative design format, all works I totally enjoy. These original stories and design are part of my contribution to the understanding of ecopreneurship or eco-marketing using facebook.</div>

The month of June this year is filled with holidays. It started early with the Gawai, then Hari Raya Aidil Fitri and in between the school holidays.I have prepared cover pages/banners in welcoming the festivals and holidays as there were times of rest and short holidays for us too at the park from the hustle and bustle of work. Enjoy your holidays.</div>

I have been observing a brood of Pipit Rawa (Chestnut Munia) at Zone G. After freeing them from its nest two weeks ago, I had on many occasions seen them flying about the park in a small flock.<br />
I am happy that the ecology of the park has managed to sustain its population. Pipit is a common word used by the Malays to name birds that are commonly known as munias, sparrows and of course the pipit itself (e.g the paddy field pipit). Here the presence of wetlands and large areas of tall grasses provide the chief food in form of grass seeds to the pipit birds.<br />

At Botanic Island Two I came across a huge thick fungi that had a beetle
below it. The beetle belongs to the Endomychidae family and are
commonly called 'Handsome Fungus Beetles' due to their association with
fungus. The four yellow dots on its black elytra (hardened forewings)
were in striking contrast.</div>

It has been raining heavily for the last three days (mainly
nights). The parkland is situated on a
very hilly area and is the headwaters of a stream, which for convenience I call
the Kambatik stream. The heavy downpour
would normally create flash floods.
However, due to its hilly landscape the excess downpour would race
downstream. This event is exciting to
watch and offers some fine photographic moments.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
After the floods, I walked up the Cempedak Hill and found a lone Plaintive
Cuckoo. This time it is the female of
the species, a lifer for me.<o:p></o:p></div>

Ssssshhhhh…..now you see it, now you don’t. The Nightjar is still around and what a
surprise – it is settling on two eggs!!<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Large-tailed Nightjar has always been a permanent
resident of the park. Here they hunt for
insects and produce a familiar garden
call which sounds like ‘tok,tok,tok’.
The sounds can be heard every day here at dusk and dawn and throughout
the night.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Large-tailed Nightjar (<i>Caprimulgus macrurus</i> ) has a black bill and a body that is very
well camouflaged with its preferred environment of open grassland. It does not build the typical nest and would
lay its eggs on bare ground. The eggs (<i>see inset</i>) as
if by rule are two in numbers and are blotched.<o:p></o:p></div>

The Kruak wetlands has brought a big surprise today with the sighting of a monitor lizard. A tall dead tree nearby was a perfect place for it to bask in the sun. The area seems to be a favourite place for the lizard primarily for its damp and wet ground, thick vegetation to hide and probably for the availability of food. It is also my favourite place for collecting the "Miding' ferns for vegetable cooked with the popular local paste called 'Belacan' of course! On the sidelines I met a lone Shield Bug clinging to the broad leaf of the 'Simpoh Air' (<i>Dillenia suffructicosa</i>). The Kruak wetlands is thickly populated with the Simpoh Air plant.<br />

The early days of March have seen a return to the 'normal' climate of Bintulu which is rain at night and most days sunny. There is thus plenty of time to do birding. The very tall and huge jungle tree at Zone I which has been standing proudly was the arena of loud calls from the Tiong bird (Hill Myna). Walking around the park is a daily routine to observe as many wildlife, plant life and scenery. The Jambu Air tree ( <i>Syzgium aqueum</i>) is starting to bear more and bigger fruits. The preservation of original jungle habitat as in the form of botanic islands have ensured the survival of stick insects of various types and sizes.<br />
