cultivation. 71In contrast, the authorities sought to preserve the rich biodiversity in the protected areas that happened to be inhabited or used by the IP. 72 A good practice adopted by the Sabah Parks to overcome the frictions was through the introduction of the Community Use Zones (CUZ) 73 in order to strike a balance between conservation and usage of resources in the protected areas by the IP. The CUZ is defined as “areas where existing cultivation and forest resource collection are found to occur inside the park and where traditional human activities will be allowed to continue under the supervision of Sabah Parks”. 74 Therefore, under the CUZ, if indigenous persons are found to have legal ownership to lands located within a park reserve, they would be allowed to proceed to manage their properties as expressed in the land titles. On the other hand, any existing native land use within the Parks without ownership titles, while allowed to continue, will be regulated by the authorities. 75 At the same time, the IPs are made partners to the authorities in order to manage and conserve the protected areas. Therefore, while the IPs are permitted to utilise the area, it should be in a sustainable manner. The IPs are also to assist in ensuring that no outsiders encroach on the protected area. The CUZ, therefore, has the potential to create a win-win situation for the IPs and authorities. 76 An example is the CUZ established within the Crocker Range Park, including the Ulu Senagang and Mongoo Baru villages where the Murut communities have been living. With the establishment of the CUZ, the Murut communities are empowered to manage and conserve the protected area, while continuing with their traditional PACOS Trust, ‘Malaysia.
