“…If this is not achieved the answers may be coloured by interviewees dislike for the interviewer (Schødt et al, 2020). One study from Malaysia found that women were less willing to participate in their study (Hashim et al, 2017), while another study in South East Asia made sure interviewees and interviewer had the same gender (Spangenberg et al, 2018). In 12 (25%) of the reviewed studies the type of interview was unspecified.…”

“…However, no definition and objectives for the designated management category are stated in the gazettment [16]. In this regard, the existing management category assigned for each protected area which is based on the IUCN management category has been made on an ad hoc basis without any details regarding the criteria and sub-criteria used to determine the category [18]. This has raised doubts and uncertainty about the suitability and accuracy of using such management categories in the protected areas.…”

“…At the beginning of its implementation, the determination or use of the management categories was based on its needs without any detailed and due consideration. The doubts and uncertainty increase when forest coverage inside the protected areas gradually reduces and does not meet the conservation objectives [18]. The rapidly growing urbanization process, land use development, and agricultural activities surrounding the protected areas also contribute to the situation.…”

The categories of protected area management are essential tools for ensuring the agenda of conserving biodiversity is achieved. Almost all countries in the world have established the management categories intending to provide the guidelines to manage the conservation site. Peninsular Malaysia is not exceptional and the management categories are following the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It has been implemented since 1996 specifically for all protected areas managed by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP). However, the implementation is done without using any criteria and sub-criteria in assigning the management category to each protected area. Therefore, the objective of this article is to highlight the criteria and sub-criteria that need to be considered in the management category framework of protected areas in Peninsular Malaysia. All criteria/sub-criteria were identified through a literature review, followed by filtering, integration and expert validation. A total of 46 sub-criteria were identified and can be categorized into 5 criteria: general, environmental, social, economic and management. For sustainable conservation planning all the identified criteria and sub-criteria are essential for determining the management categories of protected areas in Peninsular Malaysia.

“…A major criterion for establishing PAs is the conservation of species and habitat based on scientific data (Hashim et al 2017). Traditionally, conservation planning has predominantly relied on spatial patterns of biodiversity at the species level (Clements et al 2008;Evans et al 2018;Ratnayeke et al 2018).…”

Malaysia is recognized as a megadiverse country and biodiversity hotspot, which necessitates sufficient levels of habitat protection and effective conservation management. However, conservation planning in Malaysia has hitherto relied largely on species distribution data without taking into account the rich evolutionary history of taxa. This represents the first study that integrates spatial and evolutionary approaches to identify important centers of diversity, endemism, and bioregionalization that can be earmarked for conservation priorities in Peninsular Malaysia. Using georeferenced species occurrences, comprehensive phylogenies, and threat assessments of frogs and lizards, we employed a spatial phylogenetics framework that incorporates various diversity metrics including weighted endemism, phylogenetic diversity, phylogenetic endemism, and evolutionary distinctiveness and global endangerment. Ten areas of high conservation value were identified via the intersection of these metrics, i.e., northern Perlis, Langkawi Geopark, southern Bintang range, Cameron Highlands, Frasers Hill, Benom-Krau complex, Selangor-Genting complex, Endau-Rompin National Park, Seribuat Archipelago (Tioman and Pemanggil Islands), and southern Johor. Of these, Cameron Highlands requires the highest conservation priority based on severe environmental degradation, inadequately protected areas, and high numbers of endangered and evolutionary distinct species. Other areas, especially in the northwestern (states of Kedah and Penang) and northeastern regions (states of Kelantan) were not only identified as areas of high conservation value but also areas of biogeographic importance. Taken together, frogs and lizards demonstrate distinct east-west and north-south patterns of bioregionalization that are largely modulated by mountain ranges.
