In conjunction with the International Day of Forests, let’s spotlight ASM’s study “Strategic Paper on Precision Biodiversity”.
—
We need to work with many more actors to continue the innovation in the forest sector. As such, ASM, through the Precision Biodiversity project at Pasoh Forest Reserve, Negeri Sembilan, aims to develop a system and facility using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) that can capture biodiversity and environmental data in a precise and near real-time manner.
Being the 12th mega-biodiverse country on earth, Malaysia has a global responsibility to conserve its biodiversity.
By adopting the Strategic Paper on Precision Biodiversity (PBD), the country will show the world how this first-time-ever approach, can more effectively protect the planet and simultaneously deliver socio-economic returns.
The vision is for Malaysia to be a nation that is informed and inspired to value and conserve bioresources while recognising the importance of investment in frontier technologies for the protection of biodiversity.
Responsible and ethical stewardship of our ecosystem and establishment of a biodiversity-linked economy supported by sustainably managed biological resources will be driven by precision technologies alongside conventional approaches.
Establishment of a national genome database to generate economic growth and promote human wellbeing is set to open up opportunities for translational research. Efforts powered by 4IR will also attract young tech-savvy talent and proficient human resource.
