The highest total mean faecal bacterial (FB) colonies counts (11.86±3.11 log10 cfu/ g) were collected from Kota Samarahan in Sarawak, Malaysia, and the lowest (6.71±1.09 log10 cfu/g) from Sibu in both rainy and dry season from March 2016 till September 2017. FB isolates were highly resistant against penicillin G (42.20±18.35%). Enterobacter and Enterococcal bacteria were resistant to streptomycin (40.00±51.64%) and vancomycin (77.50±41.58%). The model indicated that the bacteria could grow well under conditions of higher faecal acidity (pH 8.27), dry season, higher mean daily temperature (33.83°C) and faecal moisture content (41.24%) of swiftlet houses built in an urban area with significant regression (P<0.0005, N=100).

Alhough much of Sarawak has been the fact that Malaysia is one of the most popular logged and developed, the state still contains destinations for birdwatchers visiting the region, extensive tracts of rainforest habitat; it is still one very few visit the largest state in the country. of the least developed states in Malaysia once away Peninsular Malaysia, and the state of Sabah in east from the four main coastal cities. Given its extensive Malaysia, are well-known and are visited several coastline, Sarawak contains excellent wintering times a year by international bird tour operators grounds for waders and other waterbirds. 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). Sarawak is not only a loss for birders, but also to the state, as the revenue that overseas birdwatchers Why do birders neglect Sarawak? bring in can be a powerful stimulus for protecting That Sarawak is neglected is clear from an examination forests, wetlands and other important bird habitats.

INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT DOCUMENT TITLE BUFFER ZONE MANAGEMENT FOR PULONG TAU NATIONAL PARK WITH INVOLVEMENT OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN SARAWAK, MALAYSIA SERIAL NUMBER PD 635/12 Rev.2 (F) COMMITTEE REFORESTATION AND FOREST MANAGEMENT SUBMITTED BY GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA ORIGINAL LANGUAGE ENGLISH SUMMARY When the Pulong Tau National Park (PTNP) was created in 2005, the local ethnic communities were not granted privileges to use the park’s resources for subsistence, while the forests outside the park were already licensed for logging long before 2005. Many of the communities are still forest-dependent even up to the present day. The need to safeguard the Totally Protected Areas’ (TPAs) rich resources from anthropogenic activities is becoming increasingly necessary and urgent. The development objective of the project proposal is to contribute to the integrated development of the buffer zone for environmental conservation and uplifting local communities livelihood. The specific objective is to secure the buffer zone’s forest for use by indigenous communities and to strengthen the protection of Pulong Tau. These objectives will be achieved through the establishment of 6,000 ha of the buffer zone, and securing a forest base to meet the communities’ needs. The project objectives and outputs will be met through integrated buffer zone management, training, and active involvement of primary and secondary stakeholders. The project will be sustained by Forest Department Sarawak (FDS) through its Community Service Initiative Unit (CSIU).

This study used bulk parameters and lignin phenols concentrations to 20 investigate the characteristics of OCterr in a tropical peat-draining river system (the main channel 21 of the Rajang and three smaller rivers (the Maludam, Simunjan, and Sebuyau)) in the western 22 part of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. The depleted 13C levels and lignin composition of the 23 organic matter indicates that the most important plant source of the organic matter in these 24 rivers is woody angiosperm C3 plants, especially in the three small rivers sampled. The diagenetic 25 indicator ratio (i.e., the ratio of acid to aldehyde of vanillyl phenols (Ad/Al)v) increased with 26 decreasing mean grain size of sediment from the small rivers. The selective sorption of acid 27 relative to aldehyde phenols might explain the variations in the (Ad/Al)v ratio.

Currently, large uncertainties remain on riverine 20 dFe inputs, especially for tropical rivers in Southeast Asia. In the present study, dFe concentrations 21 and distribution along the salinity gradient in the Rajang River in Malaysia, and three blackwater 22 rivers draining from peatlands, including the Maludam River, the Sebuyau River, and the Simunjan 23 River, were determined. In the Rajang River, the concentration of dFe in fresh water (salinity<1) in 24 the wet season (March 2017) was higher than that in the dry season (Auguest 2016), which might be 25 related to the resuspension of sediment particles and soil erosions from cropland in the watershed.

However, little is known about their emissions from 35 rivers and estuaries which seem to contribute significantly to the atmospheric budget of both gases. To this end concentrations of N2O and CH4 were measured in the Rajang, Maludam, Sebuyau and Simunjan Rivers draining peatland in northwestern (NW) Borneo during two campaigns in March and September 2017. The Rajang River was additionally sampled in August 2016 and the Samunsam and Sematan Rivers were additionally sampled in March 2017. The Maludam, Sebuyau, and Simunjan 40 Rivers are typical ‘blackwater’ rivers with very low pH (3.7 – 7.8), very high dissolved organic carbon -1 -1 (DOC) concentrations (235 – 4387 mmol L ) and very low O2 concentrations (31 – 246 µmol L ; i.e.

Conservation Ecology of Bornean Orangutans in the Greater Batang Ai- Lanjak-Entimau Landscape, Sarawak, Malaysia
Conservation Ecology of Bornean Orangutans in the Greater Batang Ai- Lanjak-Entimau Landscape, Sarawak, Malaysia Joshua Juan Anak George Pandong Student ID: a1683422 ORCID ID: 0000-0001-7856-7777 A thesis submitted to attain the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY (SCIENCES) Department of Ecology and Environmental Science School of Biological Sciences Faculty of Sciences THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA February 2019 in memory of Tok Nan Conservation ecology of Bornean orangutans in Sarawak Abstract The Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) is one of the three great ape species in Asia. P. pygmaeus is further divided into three subspecies based on their genetic divergence. These subspecies are also geographically apart from each other; with the Malaysian state of Sarawak having the least number of wild orangutans. In 2016, the threat level for the species was upgraded to ‘Critically Endangered’ under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The alarming upgrade was due to increased threats to the survival of the species in Borneo, mainly due to habitat degradation and forest loss as well as hunting. The actual orangutan numbers in the wild were still unclear despite the upgrade due to wide variance generated from various statistical methods or survey protocols used to estimate them. In Sarawak, the conservation efforts have been ongoing with the focus on preventing further population decline, habitat degradation and forest loss. The first step in this effort was to acquire baseline data on population estimates and distribution at the core habitats of Batang Ai-Lanjak-Entimau (BALE) where most of the viable orangutan populations are found in the State.
