EAIC, Forestry Dept and MYSA expand satellite tech use to boost forest monitoring
TEMERLOH: The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC), the Forestry Department of Peninsular Malaysia, and the Malaysian Space Agency (MYSA) are committed to expanding the use of satellite and remote sensing technology for forest monitoring. EAIC secretary and chief executive officer Asliza Ali said the body held engagement sessions with MYSA to discuss the use of satellite and remote sensing and coordinated with the department for a more effective monitoring effort. "This initiative aims for a technology-based monitoring of 100 per cent of forest areas identified as high risk," she told reporters today. MYSA deputy director-general (Research and Development), Samsuddin Omar, was also present. Featured Videos Asliza said that the Forest Monitoring Remote Sensing Systems (FMRS Plus), which MYSA developed and has been utilising since 2012, can provide satellite images to identify activities occurring in forests across the country. "Through the systems, we can get data on forestry activities and identify hotspots likely to be encroached on. "An archive of satellite images is available from 2015 to the present," he said. Meanwhile, the director of the Forest Enforcement Division at the Forestry Department Abd Ramlizauyahhudin Mahli said that through the systems, they detected approximately 250 cases of encroachment last year and arrested the offenders. "Many encroachment cases have been successfully detected, with satellite imagery proving highly valuable in state-level enforcement efforts. "These images enable real-time remote monitoring with precise coordinates, allowing information to be relayed directly to field operations," he said. – Bernama

CPI session delves into EAIC's role in forest protection law enforcement
PUTRAJAYA: The role of the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) in monitoring the integrity and transparency of law enforcement related to forest protection was among the main focuses of discussion in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) Special Task Force engagement session, according to EAIC. In a statement today, the agency announced that other discussions involved the use of satellite data and remote sensing by the Malaysian Space Agency (MYSA) in identifying high-risk areas for illegal logging. Also discussed was technical cooperation and data support between MYSA and the Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department (JPSM) for continuous monitoring purposes, according to the statement. EAIC stated that, as the lead of the enforcement focus group, the agency held a CPI engagement session today with JPSM and MYSA, led by EAIC secretary and chief executive officer Asliza Ali, to discuss mechanisms for proactively controlling and monitoring forest areas using satellite technology. According to the statement, the session involved the participation of 20 senior officers from EAIC, MYSA and JPSM, which aimed to strengthen cross-sectoral cooperation in efforts to improve the effectiveness of enforcement and conservation of the country's forest resources. 'This session also opened up space for improvements to the monitoring system and more strategic coordination between enforcement agencies, technical agencies and stakeholders. 'This effort targets technology-based monitoring coverage of 100 per cent of high-risk forest areas,' according to EAIC.
