Among the aims and focus of the Kinabatangan Wildlife Corridor Rehabilitation Program KWICORP tree planting project in Kinabatangan area, to restore and increase wildlife habitats and at the same time create wildlife corridors. Aside from that, this project also has the intention to reduce erosion from the river bank while giving opportunity for tourists staying at Sukau Rainforest Lodge to participate in the conservation activities as well.

By implementing this project, it is also achieving the objective to improve the scenery during river cruise and help to enhance image of the Kinabatangan as a great ecotourism destination and not forgetting furnishing the effort to raise public awareness towards a sustainable development.

Support and donations towards KWICORP are also increasing. Starting from May 2009 a total donation of Rm1,100.00 was received. For the following month of June the amount received was RM 530.00. An amount of RM 2, 550.00, RM2, 050.00 and RM 1, 731.00 was received for each month of July, August, and September respectively. All in all, the total donations received up to October 13, 2009 were RM 8, 661.00.

Sabah Forestry Department also donated 45 seedlings for the first phase and another 150 seedlings on the 21 st April 2009. These 150 seedlings were bought from the local community in Batu Putih, Kinabatangan at the price of RM2.50 for each seedling.

Unfortunately, in February 2009, due to heavy rain and flood, approximately 80 seedlings died within both sites of the area. A total of 428 seedlings that were planted at the old site are now well grown and another 103 seedlings are still growing.

After the flood incident, 50 more seedlings were planted at a new site and precautions such as extra effort to help minimize excessive light exposure towards the small seedlings were taken.
