| Birds Diversity Study in Plantation | |
Bird biodiversity is a relatively easily-measured indicator of biodiversity in a certain area. A recently-concluded survey of bird diversity in an oil plantation near Bintulu, Sarawak found that there was a positive correlation between numbers of birds and proximity to secondary forest. The plantation is in a remote area of secondary lowland dipterocarp forest fragments. The study also found that riparian buffer zones and pesticide-free zones in the plantation had a positive effect on bird diversity. | |
