Thatch grass is a readily available ecosystem productthat plays a direct economic and utilitarian benefit to woman in households surrounding the protected areas of Zimbabwe. The study describes the institutional arrangement in place for the exploitation and lesson highlights of thatch grass in the protected areas of Matetsi Safari Area and Kazuma pan national park in North West Matebeleland region. The arrangement for thatch grass harvesting is that only the women (young and elderly) are allowed to apply for thatch grass harvesting in protected areas for defined period of time usually two weeks. We used park registers of thatch grass harvesters to determine the number of women involved, thatch grass bundles harvested and villages involved. At total of 15 744 bundles of thatch grass were harvested in the year 2022. The total bundles that the woman took home were 10 962 while 4 784 were retained by the park or concession holders. On average, an individual woman collected 27 to 125 bundles. Each individual woman direct income from thatch grass harvesting ranged from US$ 40 to US$187 per harvesting season. The key lesson in the thatch grass arrangement is that woman can successfully be mainstreamed directly to benefit from protected areas without experiencing negative effects associated with resource access in protected such as wildlife poaching which might occur when men are involved. Further, coordinated thatch grass harvesting has less conflict with the trophy hunting experience and activities in the hunting areas. While some challenges have been experienced in the national park component, the challenges are partly due to the perceived regulations, purpose of national parks and the somewhat negative attitude of stakeholders operating in the park to use of natural resource by local communities. In order for the thatch grass harvesting to remain sustainable and compatible with activities in the protected area there ought to be planning, coordination, monitoring of harvesting activities andongoing ecological monitoring of potential ecosystem impacts.

PrimaTourismis a well-known aspect of nature tourism that provides valuable benefits for the primate species conservation. Malaysia, with its rich diversity of more than 25 primate species inhabited in the country, holds significant potential for enhancing primate-based tourism. However, the information on primate species in potential tourism spots like Tasik Chini remains limited, with only a few data on their behaviour and ecology. Additionally, the lack of comprehensive information on the primate species poses challenges in identifying potential PrimaTourismproduct. Thus, this study aimed to assess primate diversity and explore the perception of PrimaTourism among local people in Tasik Chini. A survey and interview session were conducted over five days in two villages around Tasik Chini (Kampung Gumum and Felda Chini), involving a total of 32 respondents. Most respondents reported the presence of two common primate species in their area: the long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) and the pig-tailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina). The result suggested a significant majority (81%) of respondents expressed support for the dusky leaf monkey (Trachypithecus obscurus) as an ideal primate species for PrimaTourism in Tasik Chini, citing its attractive coloration and favoring the development of primate-based tourism. Overall, these findings can serve as essential baseline data for implementing primate tourism in the area, engaging the local community to attract tourists to Tasik Chini effectively and eventually serve as a conservation tool for the primate species.

The discoveries of six taxa between 2019 and 2022 have brought the total number of Nepenthesspecies occurring in Peninsular Malaysia to 18. This article serves as a comprehensive overview, incorporating the latest information and taxonomic insightsconcerningallspecies native to the peninsula. The information is derived from published taxonomic records and cumulative field observations conducted since 2013.Notably, it further reports heretoforeundocumented discoveries, making it a significant contribution to the current knowledgeof tropical pitcher plants. Theseinclude a sighting of a population of Nepenthes with unusual traits in the upper montane forest of Banjaran Titiwangsa, which may represent the 19thtaxonin Peninsular Malaysia. The plantsexhibit conspicuously expandedperistomes and an unusual wing morphology, which altogether provide compelling evidence supporting the recognition of these individuals as a distinct and previously unknown species. Therefore, a provisional taxonomic name—Nepenthessp. Titiwangsa (pesonawangsa_223) A. Amin—is assigned.The species is inferred to belongto the N. macfarlaneigroup based on its toothed peristome and the presence of fine hairs below the lid. The partial description, speciesnote, photographs,and a dichotomous keyof the proposednew speciesare provided.In addition, a velvety N. sanguineapopulation has been observed in northern Banjaran Titiwangsa and treated as a new natural variation (var. velutina) in this article.

Zingiberaceaeis one of the most common herbaceous plant families in the tropical rainforests of Borneo, Malaysia. Many studies have been conducted on this family, yet the documentation of this family is still far from complete. Zingiberaceae also included many speciesthat were reclassified, with many new genera introduced to accommodate the species based on the molecular work. SulettariaA.D.Poulsenand Mathisen is one of the examples of a new genus introduced to accommodate such ginger species from Southeast Asia formerly from the genera Elettaria and Amomum.The majority of the species that are assigned to this new genus are found in Sarawak. This study aims to document information on Sulettariawith special reference to ecological and taxonomic aspects from Sarawak. A checklist of species found in Sarawak is included.

Human health risk assessment of Asejire Lake in densely populated and industrialized Ibadan city has been examined using Average Daily Dose (ADD), Hazard Quotient (HQ), Hazard Index (HI), Chronic daily intake (CDI) and Carcinogenic Risk (CR) calculated from the hydrochemical analysis results of Aluminum, Barium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Nickel, Lead and Zinc. ICP-MS laboratory technique was used from which the results of the selected trace elements were extracted. The average values of Ba, Al, Cr, Fe, Cu, Mn, Pb, Ni and Zn are: 0.08ppm, 0.39ppm, 0.001ppm, 1.41ppm, 0.004ppm, 0.068ppm, 0.004ppm, 0.002ppm and 0.035ppm respectively which are all below prescribed standards except Al and Fe. The average values of TDS, EC and pH are: 51.73ppm, 100μS/cm and 7.4 respectively which show that the water is non-saline but slightly alkaline in nature. The average values of ADD, HQ, and HI for all age groups were generally <1 falling within low chronic risk for HI. However, Values computed for children are close to unity and caution must be taken for children’s consumptions both in ingestion and derma absorption. Order of abundance of average CDI is: Fe>Al>Ba>Mn>Zn>Pb>Cu>Ni>Cr respectively. Average CR for Cr and Pb fall within 10-6 and 10-4 and above respectively and this gives a signal for cancer risk in consumption. Based on WHO background values, there are elevated values of average Contamination Factor (CF) above one for Al (2) and Fe (5) depicting some degrees of contamination in water phase and Degree of Contamination also ranged from 7 to 9 (average, 8) indicating low to moderate degree of contamination. Al and Fe sourced from the various anthropogenic and lithogenic activities contributed significantly to metal loading in the water which are of health significant.

Odonates are water quality indicator for the health of freshwater ecosystem, had been used in pharmacology, as dietary items, predators and controlling human diseases. Odonata have a strong tradition of being involved in relaxation and recreation activities in various Asian nations, such as China and Japan. A study on odonate as tourism product was carried out at North Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve, Johor for eight days. The study firstly aimed to determine the diversity of odonate on site. Ten flagships species was then selected based on criteria of a good nature tourism product. The research continued to develop odonatourism as a new product in North Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve, Johor. The method used for species inventory were sticky trapping, sweep netting, and point-counting survey. A total number of 35 species with 465 individuals -had been collected during the research. Data collected revealed that the diversity of odonate in the sampling region is medium as evidenced by the Shannon Weiner Species Diversity Index (2.6126). Analyzing the 35 species of odonates, gauging against the eight Criteria of a Good Nature Tourism Product, 10 species indicated having potentials to be developed into nature tourism products. Based on the selected 10 flagship species, a promotional brochure and a prototype of souvenir were created. Although this research mainly dealt with promoting odonate as potential nature tourism products the necessity to maintain North Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve in Johor is also highlighted.

With the technological development globally, Geographic Information System(GIS)and Remote Sensing (RS)has been used and reformed in providing reliable and useful data in the field of environmental studies advancement. There has been needed forGIS and RS in terms of biological and chemical elements in the aquatic environments to assess the concentration of trace metals in the tissue of aquatic species around the world. However, there is still inadequate information and exploration on the subject matter which calls for the use of artificial intelligence plates in acquiring data.There is a need for the use of the invented plate in green port sustainability in order to save time, money, life, less labour and availability of more multiple accurate data information that will have improved sustainability. The primary aim of this concept paper focused on using GIS & RS combined with artificial intelligence plate in Green port environmental sustainability to monitor, acquire data and identify biologicaland chemical elements data online for analysis. This aim was achieved by the application of qualitative research, that is synthetic literature review. Through the review, we are able to find out that artificial intelligence plates will be useful. Therefore, it requests for innovation of an artificial intelligent plate that will detect, analyze and recommend the concentration of heavy metals and other anthropogenic elements in the water bodies and species tissues without necessarily involving laboratory processes. In conclusion, to provide a theory from fusing past and present circumstances in order to forecast the future for coastal areas, GIS & RS applications and artificial intelligence plates were suggested. This review gives instances of GIS applications' used in the stages of assessment, conservation, maintenance, sustainability, and protection of the environment of marine areas. This study suggests the use of a digital plate that can be used with GIS & RS in monitoring, spatiotemporal distribution and identifying the concentration of biological and chemical elements in the environmental sustainability of port institutions and industrial organizations.

This review gives instances of GIS applications' used in the stages of assessment, conservation, maintenance, sustainability, and protection of the environment of marine areas. This study suggests the use of a digital plate that can be used with GIS & RS in monitoring, spatiotemporal distribution and identifying the concentration of biological and chemical elements in the environmental sustainability of port institutions and industrial organizations.","PeriodicalId":250961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sustainable Natural Resources","volume":"339 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115400926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the high demand in the fisheries market, species identification is vital for commercial fish to avoid mislabeling and fraud in marketplaces. The increasingly threatening human activities like overfishing, blast fishing, poison fishing, and trawling have become the major threats to fish and caused an urgent need for documentation of both marine and freshwater fishes. Commercial fish products sometimes are sold by their parts, such as fins which further create confusion for identification purposes.Morphological identification also requires highly skilled ichthyologists to avoid misidentification. Thus, identification through DNA barcoding can be utilized as it holds the potential for accurate and rapid identification. Here we identified the commercial marine fish species sold in Muar Fish Market, Johor, using the Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). A 700 base-pair sequence of the COI region was targeted by amplifying extracted DNA from 28 fin samples collected from the fish market. From 28 samples, we successfully sequenced 16 samples, and by using phylogenetic analysis, (Neighbor-Joining (NJ), Maximum Parsimony (MP) and Bayesian Inference (BI)) we successfully identified the samples belonging to nine families (Scombridae, Platycephalidae, Carangidae, Ariidae, Polynemidae, Coryphaenidae, Sphyraenidae, Muraenesocidae, Engraiulidae), 12 genera and 16 species. This study reports the first documentation of commercial fish sold in Muar through the DNA barcoding technique. This technique should be expanded further to identify any species with important conservation implications, such as endangered species, for improved management of fisheries in Malaysia

Of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, there are 15 genera in the Bagridae family. The tropical freshwater catfish Hemibagrus hoeveniiis found in Asian waters. Bagrids are also known as Old World pimelodids, while New World bagrids may be more accurate. In Muar, Johor, DNA barcoding has never been utilised to determine the species of bagrid catfish. Therefore,this study was done to updatethe species checklist of Baung (bagrid catfish)in Muar River,and DNA barcoding of protein-coding cytochrome coxidase I (COI) mitochondrial gene was donefor species identification and phylogenetic analyses. A number of two partial COI gene sequencesranging 674-687 nucleotide baseswere successfully obtained for two specimens of Baung Lawi and the Nucleotide Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) analysis suggested theirspecies status as from the genus Hemibagrus. Furthermore, the results of the phylogenetic analyses showedthat the neighbour joining tree, the maximum parsimony tree and the maximum likelihood tree grouped the COI mtDNA gene sequencesof Baung Lawifrom MuarRiverin one single cluster, thusconfirming the species status and showed the presence of H. hoeveniiin MuarRiver, Johor.
