“…PES is a new conservation technique that focuses on In addition, the watershed recharge water downstream into Sungai Bernam and Sungai Tengi that drains into the main canal and the tertiary canals, and to the agricultural drain land of the Barat Laut Selangor irrigation area to ensure the supply of adequate and clean water for domestic and irrigation purposes. This watershed is seriously threaten as a result of human activities, couple with reduction in rainfall (Drought) (Aint1ddin and Goh, 2010;Sasidhran et al, 2016). Consequently, reduce water inflow which poses threat to sustainable supply of water for irrigation and domestic uses in the area.…”

Realising the objective of payment for ecological services (PES) Contribution/ OriginalityThis study contributes to the existing literature by using the choice experiment approach to analyze willingness to pay for forest watershed conservation. It is also one of very few studies which have investigated Households' Preferences and Willingness to Pay for Watershed Services attributes in the forest reserve.

The land surface of Malaysia mostly constitutes forest cover. For decades, forest fires have been one of the nation’s most concerning environmental issues. With the advent of machine learning, many studies have been conducted to resolve forest fire issues. However, the findings and results have been very case-specific. Most experiments have focused on particular regions with independent methodology settings, which has hindered the ability of others to reproduce works. Another major challenge is lack of benchmark datasets in this domain, which has made benchmark comparisons almost impossible to conduct. To our best knowledge, no comprehensive review and analysis have been performed to streamline the research direction for forest fires in Malaysia. Hence, this paper was aimed to review all works aimed to combat forest fire issues in Malaysia from 1989 to 2021. With the proliferation of publicly accessible satellite data in recent years, a new direction of utilising big data platforms has been postulated. The merit of this approach is that the methodology and experiments can be reproduced. Thus, it is strongly believed that the findings and analysis shown in this paper will be useful as a baseline to propagate research in this domain.

“…In addition to that, there are many researchers who focused on the structural and compositional aspects of tropical forest, be it in primary or secondary forest such as Alfred et al (2010), Ainuddin and Goh (2010). However, there is a lack of information on rehabilitated forests from the aspect of the structure, in particular.…”

Problem statement: Forest structure assessment provides information on forest succession, dynamics, biodiversity and health which are important but only few information is available on rehabilitated forest. The objective of this study was to assess the forest structure of selected age stands at a rehabilitated forest situated in Universiti Putra Malaysia Bintulu Sarawak Campus, Sarawak, Malaysia. Approach: Four 20×20 m plots were established in stands planted in 1991, 1999, 2008 and an adjacent natural regenerating secondary forest (±22years) and all stands were measured for Diameter Breast Height (DBH) and height and identified. Results: Forest structural analysis showed better performance in the structural characteristics mainly the mean basal area (61%), mean Dbh (56%) and mean height (60%) of the trees as compared to the adjacent natural regenerating secondary forest. Conclusion: It can be concluded that after 18 years, rehabilitated forest using accelerating natural regeneration technique showed better structural dimension. This can help to promote the reforestation and restoration activities on degraded forest. Overall, rehabilitated forest areas have yet recovered in terms of size and height.
