A total of 75 species, representing 36 genera, was collected. Most of the species were epiphytic. Terrestrial species included Bromheadia finlaysoniana, Corymborkis veratrifolia, Plocoglottis acuminata and the saprophytic Lecanorchis malaccensis. Arundina graminifolia and Dendrobium hosei were very common. Keywords: orchids, Ulu Baleh National Park, diversity Introduction The Baleh National Park lies in Southeast Sarawak, adjacent to the international border between Malaysia and Indonesia (Kalimantan). A Scientific Expedition to the UBNP is a part of Heart of Borneo (HoB) Initiative Project. The HoB is a project by the tri-lateral nations that share the island of Borneo; Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia and Malaysia. The primary focus of this project is to protect the heart of Borneo rainforests; the single largest stretch of rainforest left standing in South East Asia, the third largest rainforest on earth and perhaps the most diverse with biological (Meekiong et al. 2017). A study conducted in the national park Heart of Borneo Series 8: 117 .

This study uncovers the potential of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) from the perspective of indigenous communities in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, and explores how TEK helps them to observe and respond to local climate change. Data were collected through interviews and field work observations and analysed using thematic analysis based on the TEK framework. The results indicated that these communities have observed a significant increase in temperature, with uncertain weather and seasons. Consequently, drought and wildfires have had a substantial impact on their livelihoods. However, they have responded to this by managing their customary land and resources to ensure food and resource security, which provides a respectable example of the sustainable management of terrestrial and inland ecosystems. The social networks and institutions of indigenous communities enable collective action which strengthens the reciprocal relationships that they rely on when calamity strikes.

BirdLife as well as by many independent birdwatchers. But International has designated 22 Important Bird Areas Malaysia’s largest state, Sarawak, which sits (IBAs) in Sarawak, the highest number for any state between the two and occupies one fifth of eastern in Malaysia and more than in all the states of west Borneo, is unfortunately often overlooked by Malaysia combined (18), whilst Sabah has 15 IBAs birdwatchers. The lack of attention given to (Yeap et al. 2007).

  • Renewable Energy Potential from Micro Hydro for Techno-Economic Uplift – a Brief Review
    IJRRAS 7 (4) ● June 2011 www.arpapress.com/Volumes/Vol7Issue4/IJRRAS_7_4_03.pdf RENEWABLE ENERGY POTENTIAL FROM MICRO HYDRO FOR TECHNO-ECONOMIC UPLIFT – A BRIEF REVIEW Tian Chuan Min1, Mohammad Iskandar Jobli1, Abu Saleh Ahmed1, Robert Malong1, Masri Zaini1, Mohammad Omar Abdullah1, *, Mohd Narzam Jaffar2 & Mohamad Abdullah Ali2 1 Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia 2 Sjingkat Power Corporation Sendirian Berhad (SPC), Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. ABSTRACT Modern world requires energy more than ever. As the global population and modernization exhibit seemingly ever upward trends, it is certain that the crave for energy will continue to rise. However, conventional energy is depleting at an alarming pace, though renewable energy seems to prospect a promising alternative. Being one of the more established and successful renewable energy technologies, the authors attempt to review the micro hydro as well as its potential in providing sustainable energy to the mankind. Keywords: renewable energy, micro hydro, sustainable energy 1. INTRODUCTION The industrial revolution that occurred about a couple of centuries ago has drastically transformed each and every aspect of human activities [1]. Since then, various products, tools and devices are created and perfected to facilitate human activities and improve livelihoods. Nowadays in these modern societies, cars, phones, air-conditioners, lifts and lightings are some of the good examples that have become inevitable necessities to human. More so, numerous types of sophisticated machines and robots have been invented to perform tasks otherwise impossible or too dangerous to be carried out by human alone. Though these inventions provide great conveniences and possibilities to mankind, they all need energy to function – be it in the form of fuel, electricity or battery.

  • Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Climate Change Adaptation: the Sa’Ban Experience
    Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Climate Change Adaptation: The Sa’ban experience Nadzirah Hosen1, Hitoshi Nakamura2, Amran Hamzah3 1Graduate School of Engineering and Science, 2Department of Planning, Architecture and Environment Systems, Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan 3Faculty of Built Environment and Surveying, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Indigenous people often rely on natural resources for their livelihoods. This reliance increases their vulnerability towards the impacts of climate change, and coping with increased climate variability is a significant challenge for such communities. This research, conducted among the Sa’ban tribe of Long Banga in interior Sarawak, Malaysia, explored observations of local climate change, climate change impacts and tribal adaptation strategies. The results show that drought, wildfires and uncertain weather conditions are the Sa’ban’s primary concerns. However, the tribe have demonstrated their adaptation strategies through the use of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Decades of research on the digital divide has found that digital exclusion can result from lack of connectivity, as well as more complex factors including abilities, affordability and attitudes, or a combination of these (Helsper, 2008; Helsper, 2012; Van Deursen et al, 2017; Van Deursen & van Dijk, 2014; Van Dijk, 2005). People living in remote regions have historically been more likely to face digital exclusion, due to a lack of internet access in these areas.

Besi1, Dome Nikong2, Runi S. Pungga3, Rusea Go1,* 1Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia 2Kg Sungai Tong, Terengganu, Malaysia 3Forest Department Sarawak, Malaysia *e-mail: [email protected] Received: 16.04.2020. Revised: 01.08.2020. Accepted: 16.08.2020. The Heart of Borneo (HoB) initiative facilitates conservation and environment protection while enhancing sustainable development that safeguards the welfare of natural resources and inhabitants of the island. The HoB research e�pedi� tions conducted in the Long Banga and Tama Abu were aimed to document the highland orchid species inhabited in one of the largest remaining transboundary rainforests in the world, which are racing dissolution from their habitat. Thus the resolution for their conservation in situ and ex situ could be drafted meritoriously. The research e�peditions in the protected transboundary forest areas revealed a total of 206 species and 59 genera. A total of 118 species of 46 genera were recorded during the HoB Long Banga 2016 e�pedition, while 117 species in 46 genera were found from the HoB Tama Abu 2017 e�pedition. Roughly 70% of the species documented were epiphytes. A few of them were mycoheterotrophs, such as Aphyllorchis pallida, Cystorchis aphylla, and Tropidia saprophytica, and several «jewel» orchids, including Cystorchis stenoglossa and Macodes petola. Astonishingly, we discovered a number of endemic and newly recorded orchid species for Borneo.
