Sama Jaya was formerly known as Stutong Protected Forest, one of the oldest protected areas in Sarawak, having been constituted in 1950. The park is designed to provide an authentic urban wilderness, with all its facilities and activities integrated into the natural forest environment. The first urban forestry project undertaken by Sarawak Forestry, Sama Jaya’s primary objective is to promote multiple uses of forests through encouraging outdoor recreation, nature conservation education and nature-based tourism; creating a reserve and refuge for urban wildlife; and conserving a “Green Island” for Kuching city. |
