Monitoring the health of aquatic ecosystems is a critical component of ensuring the sustainability and resilience of these environments. UNIMAS plays an active role in this area through a combination of research, data collection, and collaboration with local and national bodies. UNIMAS conducts routine field surveys and monitoring of water quality parameters (such as pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, and chemical pollutants) in key aquatic ecosystems, including rivers, lakes, mangroves, and coastal areas. This helps to assess the immediate health of these habitats and identify any physical or chemical disturbances.

UNIMAS collaborates with national and international organizations, such as the Sarawak Forestry Corporation and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks, to conduct integrated ecosystem health assessments. This collaboration strengthens the data collection process and ensures more comprehensive monitoring. Proud to announce that our esteemed Research Fellows, Prof. Dr. Indraneil Das and Prof. Dr. Gabriel Tonga Noweg are participating as speakers at the Forest Conservation Conference 2023! Also, Prof. Dr. Mohd Azlan Jayasilan and Dr. Jongkar Grinang joins poster presentation, sharing the importance of conserving Sarawak biodiversity. Their expertise and contributions in bridging conservation and sustainable development are invaluable.
