Identification of environmentally sensitive areas (soil) for forest management in Sarawak

Malaysia has included the identification of enviromentally sensitive areas (ESAs) as an indicator in the Malaysian Criteria, Indicators, activities and Standards of Performance (MC&I) but a practical cost-effective and labour-efficient method of identification is yet to be established in Sarawak...
