THE threat to Brunei’s biodiversity is mostly anthropogenic or as a result of human activities, said the director of the Institute for Biodiversity and Environmental Research (IBER), a research institute of the Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD).
He cited the unsustainable level of harvesting of some species of plants and also to a certain degree, poaching as human actions which could inflict damage to nature. However, Brunei is still a treasure trove for researchers thanks to the strict rules on conservation of biodiversity and forest preservation imposed by the government.
