The contents of this chapter are defined in accordance with EIA guideline specified by the Environment Protection Department (EPD), Sabah. 3.2 General Description The Project site (comprising of Benta I and Benta IIC) is located in the southeast corner of Sabah within the Tawau District, on the eastern coast of Sabah. The geographical position of the proposed development is between longitude 117 o 11’ E and 117 o 40’ E and between latitude of 4 o 23’N to 4 o 52’N (see Figure 2.2.1 ). In terms of straight-line distance, the furthest corners of the Project site stretch approximately 60 km from south to north and also 60 km from east to west. The proposed site partially encompasses the Forest Management Units (FMU) No. 22, 23, 25 and 26 (see Figure 3.2.1 ). Generally, Benta I is located in the Gunung Rara Reserve whereas Benta IIC is in the Kalabakan Forest Reserve, bordered by FMUs 16 and 20 to the north, Sabah Softwoods Bhd plantation to the east and south east, the township of Kalabakan to the south and Innoprise Corporation Sdn Bhd – ICSB’s international collaborative projects such as the SUAS project 3a , the INIKEA rehabilitation project 3b , the RBJ/NEP Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) Project 3c to the west of the Project area (see Figure 3.2.1 ). -

Forestry Department Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Forest Plantations Working Papers CASE STUDY OF THE TROPICAL FOREST PLANTATIONS IN MALAYSIA Based on the work in 1998 of D.B. Krishnapillay Consultant Edited by M. Varmola June 2002 Forest Resources Development Service Working Paper FP/23 Forest Resources Division FAO, Rome (Italy) Forestry Department ii Acknowledgements This working paper was carried out under the UK/FAO Trust Fund Project Timber Production from Hardwood Plantations in the Tropics and Sub-tropics (GCP/INT/628/UK). The project was funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) of the United Kingdom. Information gained from the various case studies and technical studies has been extensively used. Data from the review of hardwood plantation areas was, for example, used in FAO’s Global Fibre Supply Model (FAO 1998), the Asia-Pacific Forestry Sector Study (FAO 1998), State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) 1997 (FAO 1997), 1999 (FAO 1999), and 2001 (FAO 2001), as well as in a number of other papers and studies. The UK/FAO project, further, formed the basis for a review of recent developments in hardwood plantations in the tropics, one of the studies on trends in plantations for the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FAO 2001). Disclaimer The Forest Plantations Working Papers report on issues and activities in forest plantations. These working papers do not reflect any official position of FAO.

To assess the impact of ongoing interventions on P. vivax transmission dynamics in Sabah, we genotyped 9 short tandem repeat markers in a total of 97 isolates (8 recurrences) from across Sabah, with a focus on two districts, Kota Marudu (KM, n = 24) and Kota Kinabalu (KK, n = 21), over a 2 year period. STRUCTURE analysis on the Sabah-wide dataset demonstrated multiple sub-populations. Significant differentiation (FST = 0.243) was observed between KM and KK, located just 130 Km apart. -
Study on the Transportation System in the East Coast of Sabah
International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE) ISSN: 2277-3878, Volume-9 Issue-4, November 2020 Study on the Transportation System in the East Coast of Sabah Mohd Azizul Bin Ladin, Fariq Ismeth Jaimin, Nazaruddin Abdul Taha, Lillian Gungat, Abdul Karim Mirasa, Sidah Binti Idris Abstract: Being situated in eastern Malaysia, Sabah is one of be divided into two areas, urban and rural. Within the urban the states which have a firm economic foundation through areas of Sabah, the road networks are better, and some types agriculture, forestry as well as petroleum industries. However, of public transportation, although unreliable, are available for even though it is rich with the natural resources that have long the public. However, like other urban road networks in the served for the country’s economic growth, as a whole, Sabah is considered a little behind her counterparts in the Peninsular world, it faces its main adversary, the road congestion. This Malaysia in terms of infrastructure and development. This study causes pollution and harm to the environment as well as the mainly examines the transportation network in Semporna, Tawau health of the citizens within the area. Moving on to the rural and Lahad Datu which is mostly in poor condition. This is side of Sabah, congestion is not a serious issue as the road because it is extensively used for the industrial activities including network in the area is not connected enough to even create logging, palm industries and quarries. Based on the survey, it is road congestion. The sight of gravel roads, mud path, and found that the road mostly had potholes, edge raveling, uneven surfaces, road rutting, congestion problems and limited parking potholes are the norm. -

Plasmodium Knowlesi
William et al. Malaria Journal 2014, 13:390 http://www.malariajournal.com/content/13/1/390 RESEARCH Open Access Changing epidemiology of malaria in Sabah, Malaysia: increasing incidence of Plasmodium knowlesi Timothy William1,2, Jenarun Jelip3, Jayaram Menon4, Fread Anderios5, Rashidah Mohammad5, Tajul A Awang Mohammad5, Matthew J Grigg2,6, Tsin W Yeo2,6,7, Nicholas M Anstey2,6,8 and Bridget E Barber2,6* Abstract Background: While Malaysia has had great success in controlling Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, notifications of Plasmodium malariae and the microscopically near-identical Plasmodium knowlesi increased substantially over the past decade. However, whether this represents microscopic misdiagnosis or increased recognition of P. knowlesi has remained uncertain. Methods: To describe the changing epidemiology of malaria in Sabah, in particular the increasing incidence of P. knowlesi, a retrospective descriptive study was undertaken involving a review of Department of Health malaria notification data from 2012–2013, extending a previous review of these data from 1992–2011. In addition, malaria PCR and microscopy data from the State Public Health Laboratory were reviewed to estimate the accuracy of the microscopy-based notification data. Results: Notifications of P. malariae/P. knowlesi increased from 703 in 2011 to 815 in 2012 and 996 in 2013. Notifications of P. vivax and P. falciparum decreased from 605 and 628, respectively, in 2011, to 297 and 263 in 2013. In 2013, P. malariae/P. knowlesi accounted for 62% of all malaria notifications compared to 35% in 2011. Among 1,082 P. malariae/P. knowlesi blood slides referred for PCR testing during 2011–2013, there were 924 (85%) P. -
Vector Compositions Change Across Forested to Deforested Ecotones in Emerging Areas of Zoonotic Malaria Transmission in Malaysia

We conducted a 15-month study in two Malaysian villages to determine the effect of habitat on vector populations in understudied high-altitude, high-incidence districts. Anopheles mosquitoes were sampled in human settlements, plantations and forest edges, and screened for Plasmodium species by PCR. We report the first An. donaldi positive for P. knowlesi. This potential vector was associated with habitat fragmentation measured as disturbed forest edge:area ratio, while An. balabacensis was not, indicating fragmented land use could favour An. donaldi. Anopheline species richness and diversity decreased from forest edge, to plantation, to human settlement. Greater numbers of An. balabacensis and An. -

A total of 180 sites were surveyed in 2019 (2018: 212), 97 in Peninsular Malaysia and 83 in East Malaysia. The surveys are a continuation of a successful National Reef Check Survey Programme that has now run for thirteen years. 2. The surveys were carried out by trained volunteers as well as government officials from Marine Parks Malaysia, reflecting commitment from the Government in further improving management of Malaysia’s coral reefs. Surveys were carried out on several islands off Peninsular Malaysia’s East and West coast, covering both established Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and non-protected areas, and in various parts of East Malaysia, both Sabah and Sarawak. 3. The results indicate that the Malaysian coral reefs surveyed have a relatively high level of living coral, at 40.63% (2018: 42.42%). -
