In the meantime such production systems must concern the productivity of the operations and the impacts on safety and health of the operators. In the mountainous areas, productivity and safety are important issues because motor manual felling is still required in many conditions and especially in difficult terrain accidents occur frequently. Also the most advanced systems based on the cable-harvester cannot be considered safe enough because of the uncertainty of the anchors based on stumps or standing trees. For what it concerns the yarding operations, mountain forests represent a demanding sector in which the slope of the terrain and the mass of the material to be transported can influence both the productivity and the work safety. Cable transportation systems on one hand offer different solutions to be implemented under different conditions, but on the other hand they can enhance the risk of accident because of the tensions applied to the cables and the use of biological elements (stumps and trees) as supports and anchoring devices. The Joint Regional Meeting between IUFRO RG3.03.00 and RG3.06.00 will be held aiming to exchange mutual recent research achievements and information, and discuss mountain logging operations in the future considering operation techniques and ergonomic and the possibility to improve both working productivity and safety of final cutting on mountainous forests. During the meeting the participants will visit a felling site in Ehime prefecture in which winching operations are based on high-density forest road network, and other felling sites in Kochi prefecture in which material is transported through the H type cable system and an Austrian tower yarder. The Joint Regional Meeting has a close relation to the third theme (Forests and Forest-based Products for a Greener Future) of the IUFRO strategy; it also shows some relationship with the first theme (Forests for People).

The indigenous people of Malaysia represent about 12 % of the population. There is a great misbalance in the distribution of the indigenous people between the peninsula and the Malaysian parts of Borneo. 2. The indigenous people on the peninsula are collectively called Orang Asli. With 150,000 people, they constitute 0.6 % of the national population. Though all are labelled as as Orang Asli, they are not necessarily genetically or culturally related. There are 18 ethnic groups which are divided into three main groupings: Negrito, Senoi and Proto- Malay. 3. In Sarawak, the indigenous people are called Orang Ulu or Dayak. They represent about 50 % of the 2.5 million people living in Sarawak. The indigenous people of Sabah, the Anak Negeri, constitute 47.4 % of the population. 4. In Sabah and Sarawak customary land rights are widely recognized by the law, which has been in place since the British colonial rule. However, they are not properly implemented and even ignored by the government to provide the land for large-scale resource extractions and plantations. Peninsula 5. The indigenous people living on the Malaysian peninsula are generally called Orang Asli. The different subgroups of the Orang Asli do not necessarily have to be genetically or culturally related. 6. Because of the small number of the Orang Asli population, the situation and problems of the Orang Asli are not well-known.

The University of Newcastle, Callaghan NSW 2308, Australia ABSTRACT Introduction: The Temiar who ethnically belong to Senoi, one of the major groups of Orang Asli (indigenous people) in Peninsular Malaysia, have their own distinctive food taboos and avoidances during the postpartum period. These traditions are deeply rooted in their culture, customs, values and beliefs system. Methods: A qualitative research method involving five focus group discussions were conducted to compare and contrast four different locations: the communities of Pos Tohoi, Pos Simpor, Rancangan Pengumpulan Semula Orang Asli (RPSOA) in Kelantan and the community at Batu 12 in Gombak, Selangor, representing different lifestyle experiences and food practices of Orang Asli Temiar in Peninsular Malaysia. All the transcripts were coded and categorised and then ‘thematised’ using the software package for handling qualitative data, NVivo 8. Results: Despite variations in locations, there were five agreed prohibited food items during the postpartum period: cooking oil, salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, and meat from game or domesticated animals. Dietary restrictions begin immediately after childbirth and varied from seven, eight, and fourteen days to one month.

  • The Ecological Functions of Asian Elephants in the Sundaic Rainforest: Herbivory and Seed Dispersal
    The Ecological Functions of Asian Elephants in the Sundaic Rainforest: Herbivory and Seed Dispersal A thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham Malaysia for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lisa Ong 2020 Statement of word count: Number of words contained in the document including reference and appendices: 83451 Abstract Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are among the last remaining megaherbivores in the Sundaic rainforests. In this thesis, I aimed to improve our understanding of the ecological roles of rainforest-dwelling Asian elephants through their herbivory and seed dispersal behaviours. A comprehensive review in Chapter One revealed that there have been few investigations of their interactions with the community and the habitats they live in. In Chapter Two, I advanced our understanding of Asian elephants in modifying the rainforest structure by quantifying their diet selection and herbivory impacts. The principal foods of Asian elephants in rainforests were palms (39% of total trunkfuls consumed) and trees (30%). They preferred monocots, particularly palms (preference ratio=4.6; below 1=avoidance) that are not abundant in the forest, and most monocots sustained high damage due to elephant foraging (above 40% in foraged patches). Their feeding behaviour was associated with a reduced palm density in the Royal Belum rainforest where elephants roam, as compared to a forest lacking elephants in Krau Wildlife Reserve. Although large tree saplings (around 21 cm diameter) were vulnerable to elephant damage, they had high recovery rates, and elephant herbivory is likely not the sole factor causing lower tree sapling density in Belum. Asian elephants are important seed dispersers. In Chapter Three, I recorded rare interactions of Asian elephants and a large-fruited rainforest tree, Irvingia malayana (Irvingiaceae) through the use of camera-traps.
