Result shows all respondents are currently participate in NF activities inside Royal Belum State Park. Majority of respondents (87%) indicated NF activities as their primary occupation. The study also established a strong relationship between NF and income of households. Majority of respondents acknowledged the challenge imposed by depletion of forest resources and the growing contest for NF resources due to increasing number of population within the protected park. This paper concludes that non-farm (NF) activities played a significant role in shaping the livelihood of Orang Asli households of Kampung Sg. Kejar and Kampung Sg. Tiang, Royal Belum State Park. However, results from household survey and interview revealed the communities’ current NF practices are still far from generating satisfactory income to sustain their livelihood and unable to bring the community out of poverty. A more environmental friendly development approach especially sustainable rural tourism project can be explored further as new type of rural NF activity for Orang Asli community in this protected park in the future.
