1 2 3 Linkages 4 Forest Cover Forest Complexes Figure 4. Forest Complexes and Linkages identified by the National Physical Plan (DTCP, 2005: 5-38) HCV 3 Ecosystems Global Toolkit definition: Forest area contains or is part of a threatened or endangered ecosystem. Any forest area that contains an ecosystem/habitat type identified as a priority for protection by the National Conservation Strategy (NCS), PERHILITAN Ecosystem Assessment report, Forestry Departments, FRIM, or SFC, and/or is confirmed as such by current expert opinion, is HCV 3. Some ecosystems are naturally rare, but some others are becoming increasingly threatened by pressure from human activities. Due to rapid changes, existing data may be outdated and some particularly threatened ecosystems may already need to be considered Priority 1. A good example of this would be lowland dipterocarp forests, peat swamps and limestone habitats. Always refer to current expert opinion for confirmation. -10-
Identification of HCV 3 Task Determine if forest area contains or is part of a threatened or endangered ecosystem. Data sources & requirements Priority Habitats Table of the NCS (Table 1, below), National Assessment of Biodiversity (PERHILITAN). However, this data may be outdated and it is advisable to cross-reference with current expert opinion e.g. FRIM, PERHILITAN, FRCs (Sabah & Sarawak). Also, for limestone see Price (2001) and Lim & Kiew (1997). PM: PERHILITAN ecosystem assessment report (2004, summary in Appendix 6). Sabah: Forestry Department. Also see Appendix 7. Sarawak: SFC, Forest Department. Also see Appendix 8. Table 1: NCS Priority Habitats.
