The tropical region’s countries are rich with natural rainforests and the economies of the countries situated within the region are mainly driven by the agricultural industry. In order to fulfill the agricultural demand, land clearing has worsened the situation by degrading the land surface areas. Rampant land use activities have led to land degradation and soil erosion, resulting in implications on water quality and sedimentation of the river networks. This affects the ecosystem services, especially the hydrological cycles. Intensification of the sedimentation process has resulted in shallower river systems, thus increasing their vulnerability to natural hazards (i.e., climate change, floods). Tropical forests which are essential in servicing their benefits have been depleted due to the increase in human exploitation.

  • Buffer Zone Concept and Its Potential Implementation in Tasek Bera
    Buffer Zone Concept and its Potential Implementation in Tasek Bera Che Bon Ahmad1, 2, Jamalunlaili Abdullah1, Jasmee Jaafar2 1 Centre for Environmental Design & Management 2 Centre of Geospatial Technology Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Universiti7eknologi MARA, 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Tasek Bera (TB), one of the Protected Areas (PA) in Malaysia is an important site for natural ecosystem and community’s life. Previous studies suggested that the activities around the Pas gave a great impact to the latter. Thus, the implementation and management of the surrounding areas – Buffer Zones (BZ) are necessary to safeguard the PAs. This study interviewed in- depth, six stakeholders of TB and the adjacent areas. Results indicated that although all stakeholders agreed on the overall concept and the importance of the BZs, there are disagreement in term of threats and opportunities derived from the potential implementation of it.

    Land use effects on Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) communities in Ranau- Beluran District, Sabah, Malaysia 1Andrew B. H. Wong, 1Vi V. Chaw, 1,2Arman H. Fikri 1 Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Sabah, Malaysia; 2 Water Research Unit, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Sabah, Malaysia. Corresponding author: A. H. Fikri, [email protected] Abstract. Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) are particularly sensitive and well suited as bioindicators for monitoring stream health. This study aims to investigate the EPT communities between disturbed and undisturbed areas of Ranau-Beluran District. Based on National Water Quality Standards of Malaysia, the sampled streams were categorized as Class I and II of water classes. Nonparametric Mann- Whitney test showed that only canopy cover was significantly different between disturbed and undisturbed sites. The sampled insects were dominated by Ephemeroptera (80.42%), followed by Plecoptera (14%) and Trichoptera order (5.58%). The Leptophlebiid family was the most abundant (44.82%). Family richness, the Simpson’s and Shannon-Weiner diversity indices all showed similar trends, EPT diversity being lower in disturbed sites. The diversity of EPT was strongly related to canopy cover. Key Words: benthic macroinvertebrates, bioassessment, Borneo, EPT, land uses. Introduction. For centuries, humans had relied on the resources near the aquatic environments for settlements, transportation, and water supply for domestic and agricultural use (Fang &
