P064 Tadbir Urus Kelestarian Ekosistem Pertanian: Kajian Kes Pengurusan Biodiversiti dan Peranan Komuniti di FELDA Pasoh

Abstract

The rapid development of the agricultural sector often poses significant challenges to the conservation of local ecosystems and biodiversity. This study is conducted to examine environmental sustainability governance focusing on management in the FELDA Pasoh area. It is an innovative AI system designed to bring nature back to Malaysia’s palm oil plantations. The main problem today is the heavy use of chemical rat poisons, which kill not only pests but also helpful wildlife like owls and eagles. This breaks the natural food chain and damages the environment. To fix this, This study introduces a solar-powered "Smart Barn" equipped with simple AI cameras and sensors. This system monitors barn owls as they hunt rats naturally, sending real-time data to a farmer's phone. By proving that owls are effective "natural workers," farmers can confidently stop using toxic chemicals. This product has high commercial potential because it helps plantation companies get MSPO and RSPO certifications, which are required to sell palm oil globally at better prices. It is a win-win solution: humans save money on chemicals, and wildlife gets a safe home. This study aligns perfectly with SDG 15 (Life on Land) by protecting biodiversity, SDG 12 (Responsible Production) by removing harmful toxins, and SDG 9 (Industry & Innovation) by using smart technology to create a greener, more sustainable future for Malaysia.
