Abstract

Sarawak is located in one of the world’s unique biodiversity regions, it boasts a variety of habitat types, including a mix of dipterocarp forests with distinctive inhabitants. These habitats are often transformed into agriculture including oil palm plantations. However, the expansion of plantations to meet the global demand for vegetable oils should not be at the expense of our biodiversity and rural communities. It is important that oil palm growers play a significant role in sustainable development by being environmentally responsible and promote the conservation of natural resources and biodiversity. Therefore, biodiversity is one of the top agenda for Sarawak, whereby the state is determined to conserve and protect its biodiversity. This project sits in line with the University’s niche area of biodiversity and environmental conservation and Sustainable Community Transformation.
