Professor David Wardle and his research team at Na Professor David Wardle and his research team at Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) visited IBER's field station, KBFSC, to experience firsthand our pristine Mixed Dipterocarp Forests. The NTU team is working with an IBER team led by Associate Professor Rahayu Sukri to study the diversity of microbial and insect communities in Brunei's heath and peat swamp forests.

The Institute for Biodiversity and Environmental R The Institute for Biodiversity and Environmental Research (IBER), Universiti Brunei Darussalam has officially launched the โ€œHornbills of Brunei Darussalamโ€ poster on 17th March 2022 in commemoration of World Wildlife Day held on 3rd March 2022 with the theme of โ€œRecovering key species for ecosystem restorationโ€. 

The objective of the โ€œHornbills of Brunei Darussalamโ€ poster is to highlight the eight hornbill species found in Brunei, in efforts to increase awareness and conservation of the species, especially the key species, the critically endangered Helmeted Hornbill (Rhinoplax vigil). 

The poster production is an output from Universiti Brunei Darussalamโ€™s ongoing research project titled โ€œDistribution and Ecology of Hornbill species in Brunei Darussalamโ€. This project is a collaboration between UBD, Mandai Nature Singapore, Birdlife International, United Arab Emirates University with funding from Universiti Brunei Darussalam and Mandai Nature Singapore. The poster was produced in collaboration with BruWILD. 

The launching ceremony was officiated by the Guest of Honour, Associate Professor Dr Abby Tan, Assistant Vice Chancellor of Research (UBD), and attended by senior government officials from Forestry Department and Tourism Development Department of Ministry of Primary Resources and Tourism, Brunei Shell Petroleum Co. Sdn. Bhd, collaborators from BruWILD, BirdLife International, Mandai Nature, and United Arab Emirates University and other invited guests.

Posted @withregram โ€ข @peatswamp.iber In Brunei D Posted @withregram โ€ข @peatswamp.iber In Brunei Darussalam, Peat Swamp Forest is the second largest forest type in the country (Wong & Kamariah, 1999), covering an area of 90, 000 ha which is equivalent to 16% of the total land area (Wong et al., 2015). It occurs mostly near low-altitude coastal areas (Page et. al, 2011) and is characterized as ombrotrophic in nature (Anderson, 1964; Page et al., 2006). A large area of PSF in Brunei is situated in the Belait District and is part of the Baram/Belait peat dome, the peatland that is shared between Sarawak and Brunei (Anderson, 1964; Anderson & Marsden, 1984). Small patches of PSF can also be found in Tutong and Temburong District (Wong & Kamariah, 1999), although according to Anderson and Marsden (1984), those found in the Temburong district located adjacent to the mangroves in the Labu forest reserve are relatively new. ๐Ÿ“ธ: Surin Kumar #ubdiber #ubd #iber #bruneiforest #peatswampforest

Posted @withregram โ€ข @sutdsg Repost from @sutdgl Posted @withregram โ€ข @sutdsg Repost from @sutdglobal - Here's a little peek into what went on during our virtual FACT programme - Science for a Sustainable World! Sadly due to COVID, we couldn't be physically together ๐Ÿ˜” Despite this, we still managed to make connections with the students from Universiti Brunei Darussalam through the breakout room sessions!

The past 3 days have definitely been very enriching, with many interesting topics covered during the lectures and sharings. The few stories shared by students about their personal experiences were also entertaining and gave us all a good laugh in between lessons ๐Ÿ˜Š

Check out our highlights under 'Virtual FACT 21' for more of our memories from the past few days!

Thank you to Universiti Brunei Darussalam for sharing and learning with us, and to all the Professors who imparted very valuable knowledge to us students ๐Ÿฅฐ

Till we meet again ๐Ÿค
