Orang-utans as issue animals: how flagship species are implicated in rallying actors around conservation issues
Published 2011“…Drawing heavily on the insights of relational-material perspectives within contemporary human geography, it develops an animal-centric epistemological approach with which to interrogate the attachment of a particular animal and issue: the orang-utan and palm oil-led deforestation in south-east Asia. Orang-utans are found to be implicated in the rallying of both publics and of conservation actors, but the agency of orang-utans as issue-animals affects and interacts with these actor types in different ways. …”

Estimating aboveground biomass in forest and oil palm plantation in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo using ALOS PALSAR data
Published 2011“…Precipitation effect on the backscatter data changed the HV prediction of AGB significantly (R² = 0.21, p < .001), and scattering from large leaves of mature palm trees significantly impeded the use of a single HV-based model for predicting AGB in palm oil plantations. Multi-temporal SAR data and algorithms based on forest types are suggested to improve the ability of a sensor similar to ALOS PALSAR for accurately mapping and monitoring forest biomass, now that the ALOS PALSAR sensor is no longer operational.…”
