This study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of rubber forest plantation in harbouring and acting as an off-reserve conservation area for birds. By conserving forest fragment areas as a way to improve the heterogeneity of a landscape within a rubber forest plantation, this paper aims to determine the conservation status of birds recorded from Bukit Kuantan rubber forest plantation which adopted forest fragment conservation. A point count observation method was implemented to record any sightings of birds within this plantation landscape. Subsequently, the identified bird species were checked with the Malaysian Wildlife Conservation Act (WCA) 2010 and IUCN Red List Data of endangered species. From the context of WCA 2010, it was found that majority of birds which accounted to 70%, were classified as totally protected, 11% were classified as protected, while remaining 19% were classified as non-protected. This work also highlights observation notes on four near-threatened bird species according to IUCN Red List Data recorded at Bukit Kuantan rubber forest plantation. Through the finding, it can be postulated that the rubber forest plantation might be suitable as an off-reserve conservation area although continuous studies is deemed necessary to determine the resiliency of the birds to continue their existence particularly in this rubber forest plantation.","PeriodicalId":171468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Mathematics Letters","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115813574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of herbals has increased worldwide in recent years, as they are believed to be safer than modern medicines with lesser or no side effects. The present study has been designed to determine the role of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis leaves extract in-vitro antifungal activities against Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, and Candida glabrata species. The leaves of H. rosa-sinensis were soaked in methanol and ethanol for solvent extraction. The extraction yield was diluted in DMSO to obtain 6 different concentrations, and was then impregnated on blank discs. The disc diffusion method was used to test against 3 different candida species for sensitivity test. Basic phytochemical constituent’s detection on phenol, carbohydrate, tannins and saponins were done on H. rosa-sinensis. The extract that shows largest zone of inhibition of candida species is the leaf extract with ethanol. 1000mg/ml of the leaf extract shows the highest inhibition zone against C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. glabrata which are 9mm, 8mm and 9mm respectively. Carbohydates test showed both extractions highly positive and ethanol extract exhibited the highest saponin compared with methanol extract. It was found that ethanol extract of H. rosa- sinensis showed more potent anti candidiasis compared with methanol extract.","PeriodicalId":171468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science and Mathematics Letters","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130348984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
