| Summary: | Significant proportions of the Bornean rainforest have been
converted to agricultural landscapes (i.e. oil palm (Elaeis guineensis
Jacq) plantation), resulting in many of its remaining forests being
fragmented and isolated. These forest patches are regarded as
ecologically depauperate and have lower conservation value as
many keystone species are absent, which has reduced ecological
functions (Miller-Rushing et al., 2019). However, to minimise the
impact of the monoculture plantations on the ecosystem, forest
remnants’ roles should not be neglected as they retain some of
the biodiversity remnants. Additionally, forest fragments that
maintain a certain degree of environmental or social significance
are regarded as high conservation value forests (HCVF) (Jennings
et al., 2003). |
