Exciting Update from the Sabah Biodiversity Experiment--the team has just started it's first full census in 10 years & they have already maintained 10 plots and measured 1 full plot! We will keep updating on their findings here! searrp.org

The Sabah Biodiversity Experiment's work has been highlighted in The Guardian!! This project has shown how replanting logged tropical forests with diverse native tree species improves forest recovery, bolsters biodiversity & amplifies carbon sequestration! theguardian.com/environment/20…

Representing TEELab, Asian School Of The Environment 🇸🇬 & SEARRP to talk about our works on Tier 1 grant Dr Eleanor Slade @eleslade.bsky.social on the #riparian buffers and pest & disease outbreak in #oilpalm plantation at RSPO-Monash Joint Symposium 2023, Monash University Malaysia. Grateful to our local partner: SFD & Wilmar.

The SEnSOR Project has spent the last two days at the joint RSPO-Monash University research symposium. It has been fascinating to hear the presentations & engage with researchers & industry practitioners to learn more about improving the sustainability of oil palm.

Dr Jen Lucey from SEnSOR Project SEnSOR Project is looking at future RSPO research priorities at the #RSPO-Monash research symposium today - got interesting ideas? Be sure to let us know!

Representing the @SEnSORprogramme Dr Glen Reynolds & Dr Sarah Scriven are helping prioritise future #RSPO research questions for sustainable ecosystems. Dr Rosa de Vos & Dr Rifky Ahmad are providing expertise on prioritising future research on enhancing benefits for smallholders
