LOCKING
The CO2 that is absorbed remains imprisoned in
the wood. Wood-based material contributes to the
continued imprisonment of the CO2. Building with
wood causes much lower CO2 emissions than
building with conventional construction materials.
No other mainstream structural material does this.

Malaysia's rainforest are amongst the most species-rich type of vegetation in the
world. Many species are endemic, found nowhere else in the world: from the
mighty dipterocarp tree Keruing jarang (Dipterocarpus lamellatus), to the largest
pitcher plant Nepenthes rajah, and one of the smallest flowering plants, the orchid
Corybas comptus.
The sap from the latex-bearing Jelutong (Dyera costulata) was used to make
chewing gum, until it was replaced by synthetics.

The worlds largest stick insect, Baculcolonga kirbyi, is found in Borneo and
can grow to the length of a human forearm. A specimen in the Natural
History Museum in London has a body length of 32.8 cm. Its total length,
inclusive of its legs, has been measured at over 50 cm.
The Great Cave of Niah in Sarawak, Malaysia, is the site of the discovery of
Southeast Asia's oldest human remains, dating from 40,000 years ago.

Ipoh, the state capital of Perak in Malaysia, is named after the Ipoh tree (Antiaris
toxicaria). As the Latin name implies, the tree contains toxic ingredients, which are
used by the Orang Asli (aborigines) as blowpipe dart poison for hunting. Many
other towns and places are also named after trees, e.g., Sentul, Tanjung Tualang,
Pokok Sena and even Malacca was named after the Melaka tree.
