Stakeholders in the Bukit Rimbang Bukit Baling Wildlife Sanctuary have agreed to make the sanctuary sustainable. The charter was produced through a workshop held by the Riau Natural Resources Conservation Center on October 30, 2018 in Pekanbaru.
The head of BBKSDA Riau representing the Director General of Natural Resources and Ecosystem Conservation, the Regent of Kuantan Singingi, the expert staff of the Regent of Kampar, the Head of the Subbid of Land and Spatial Planning and Land Spatial Planning- Bappeda Riau, and the governments of Kampar Regency, Kuantan Singingi Regency government and Gunung Sahilan Kingdom signed the agreement as a written commitment to support the protection of Rimbang Baling.
