Post forest fire management at tropical peat swamp forest: a review of Malaysian experience on rehabilitation and risk mitigation

Malaysian Peat swamp forests constitute a significant component with an estimated 1.54 million hectares remaining. More than 70% of these peat swamp forests are in Sarawak, less than 10% Sabah in and the remainder 20% in Peninsular Malaysia (UNDP, 2006). Peat swamp forest is the fragile unique fores...
