Pictorial Guide To The Plant and Bird Life of Byram Mangrove Forest, Penang
Byram mangrove forest with a land area of 240 ha is considered as a degraded mangrove forest. However, the union of different elements, both man-made and natural – the rubbish dump, effluent ponds, intermittent semi-submerged skeletal trees, a mangrove estuary – somehow works in harmony to attract a number of bird species to such a small area. Famously known to avid bird watcher as the Pulau Burung Landfill Site, this semi-aerobic landfill is located in the Byram mangrove forest. Byram mangrove forest is part and parcel of this unique ecosystem. The Pictorial Guide to the Plant and Bird Life of Byram Mangrove Forest, Penang illustrates photos of plant and bird species thriving within the...
Traditional Medicine: Current Practice and Belief (Penerbit USM)
This book presents interesting topics on traditional practices, particularly of the Malay community in women healthcare after childbirth and during the confinement period. This tradition is still widely practiced despite the rapid modernization of the country. The traditional practice of using plants with medicinal values is still practiced in several places in Malaysia. Medicinal plant such as betel is not only evident in treating a number of diseases, but is also used as a symbol of culture, for example to the people in Aceh, Indonesia. This shows that local knowledge is the most important element in the life of a community and significant efforts to protect and preserve the knowledge must be continued. This book is an initiative to document the local knowledge of Malaysian and Acehnese society, and is dedicated to students, academicians as well as the general public
Biodiversity of Byram Mangrove Forest Pulau Pinang
Byram Forest Reserve and its surrounding area consist mainly of mangroves, fresh and brackish water ponds or rivers and mudflats. Though there is a landfill (rubbish dumpsite) in the area - Pulau Burung landfill, this has never been a reason for the birds not to flood into the area. Hence the bird have been coming more and more each year, especially during the migratory season. This is a good place to see the terns hunting for food especially during early morning and lat evening. They fly gracefully back and forth along the ponds while diving tp catch their food. This forest still holds some important mangrove specialist such as the grey tit and oriental white eye. It is important that this forest remains, as if it is not all this species will be out of Penang's list forever.
