The Forever Sabah ecology is a web of relations, and a living organism seeking to re-weave Sabah’s vision for the future. The work centers communities, organisations and movements as we navigate complex realities and ask: how do we shape meaningful reconciliation between beings, places and Nature?

Guided by the principles of equity, integrity, inclusiveness, custodianship and shared responsibility, Forever Sabah will be delivered through a ground-up, project-based approach organised around four focal areas:
Recognising the need to address the pressing issues of:
Forever Sabah will maintain an over-arching focus on rainforests and marine & coastal habitats.
To explore this, indigenous community groups, heads and officers of key government organisations, business and industry players, researchers and civil society from across Sabah came together in 2011 to discuss the topics of community involvement, natural resource management, green economy, land rights and synergy, amongst others.
The conversations, rooted in local aspirations, birthed the concept of a “Forever Sabah.” The founding question remains as a guiding principle in our work.

Forever Sabah celebrates Inspira's innovative and rigorous exploration in Sabah (and globally) of transforming wood waste into a suite of biochemical products to replace fossil fuels and as material for making biodegradable plastics. We see this as an exemplary application of the principle of "circular economy" central to our mission.
Noting that one of their other partnerships won an R&D 100 Award in 2023, Forever Sabah is therefore honoured to continue to explore potential collaborations with Inspira towards this kind of new bio-economy, tackling the crises of energy and plastic pollution, while using plantation timber waste rather than logging more tropical forests.
Inspira combines sustainable forest management with wood processing and biomass refinery, providing eco-friendly materials and solutions for everyone.
