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...
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
Orang utan -walaupun kewujudan mereka diketahui umum, bahaya kepupusan yang mereka hadapi hampir tidak disedari. Benar, orang utan sedang menghadapi bahaya kepupusan yang sangat ketara sehingga ke tahap mereka telah disenaraimerahkan oleh International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Bagi mengatasi hal ini, Mashhor Mansor telah mengambil inisiatif dalam menghasilkan buku ini untuk bacaan semua, lebih-lebih lagi untuk bacaan rakyat Malaysia, tidak kira latar belakang mahupun umur. Orang Utan: Makhluk yang Diancam Kepupusan bukanlah buku bacaan saintifik yang biasa; malah buku ini ditulis dengan bahasa yang mudah dan selain daripada isi kandungannya yang padat dengan maklumat, terdapat juga pelbagai gambar memaparkan kehidupan orang utan serta telatah mereka.

Buku ini ditulis dengan harapan ia dapat meningkatkan kesedaran masyarakat mengenai kepentingan orang utan di dunia ini, seterusnya meningkatkan usaha kita dalam menyelamatkan mereka daripada ancaman kepupusan.
