Posted @withregram • @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. 📸: Surin Kumar #ubdiber #ubd #iber #bruneiforest #peatswampforest

Posted @withregram • @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 😔 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 😊

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 🥰

Till we meet again 🤍

A great kickstart to the KBFSC Biodiversity Conser

A great kickstart to the KBFSC Biodiversity Conservation Project last month! In four days, team 🌳 managed to set up eleven 20m x 20m plots, census & ID more than 150 trees, while team 🐟 has recorded 19 fish species. Many thanks to the awesome team of research and field assistants. Looking forward to the next trip! Keep a lookout for updates on our IG stories 😀
