Permian Global has contributed the entire investment for the project. The study was carried out in a transparent manner, with state and local NGO cooperation, particularly operational support from the South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership and Pacos Trust, a community-focused organisation. The forest area, which was selectively logged in the past, has been protected from further logging or degradation and can now regenerate.

Meanwhile, Permian Malaysia Chief Executive Ivy Wong said they are honoured to collaborate with such dedicated and responsive partners on the Kuamut Rainforest Conservation Project and to see all the efforts recognised through this third-party verification to protect such an important and charismatic ecosystem.
