“…There are numerous obstacles to the successful administration of these protected areas, even though countries in Southeast Asia have created and implemented strategic plans to do so [61,2,62]. To ensure the sustainability of biodiversity and ecosystem services, corrective actions are therefore urgently required to address the shortcomings of these protected areas [2].…”

Sundaland ecosystems are under threat from human activity and climate change such as logging, agricultural practices, overexploitation of wildlife and climatic change that have led to frequent forest fires and a decline in indigenous plant and animal species. This study investigates the risks to Sundaland's biodiversity as well as the management possibilities using GIS, RS, and AI. The goal was to find out how artificial intelligence (AI) can be applied to effectively manage biodiversity and expand on the body of knowledge already available about the useful roles that GIS and RS play in the area. In this systematic method, seven databases were used to gather data from 110 research publications, of which 101 were screened for scope and subject variable. 80% (81articles) of the examined studies collected data using GIS and RS. It is found that. AI in biodiversity management is poised to grow, offering new opportunities to address the intricate challenges facing our planet's diverse ecosystems. In conclusion, for efficient monitoring, well-informed policy creation, and decision-making to guarantee the long-term preservation of Sundaland's biodiversity, integration of GIS, RS, and AI is essential.

“…After the re-estimation with the five-year average, the effects of agricultural land expansion on food security, captured by the prevalence of undernourishment, are assessed using the other variables associated with agricultural land expansion. Besides agricultural land, those indicators include arable land, cereal land, and forest area (Tan et al, 2022). For simplicity, agricultural land is the land area dedicated to permanent crops, whereas arable land is dedicated to temporary crops.…”

Sub-Saharan Africa remains one of the major strongholds of food insecurity in the world, despite the fact that, the region hosts two-third of the world’s uncultivated arable land. This study examines the role played by the recent increase in agricultural land in improving the region’s food security situation. We employed the Generalised Method of Moment in system to study the association between the expansion of agricultural land and two the accessibility and utilisation dimensions of food security. The results survive a battery of robustness checks, providing robust evidence supporting the claim that agricultural land expansion improves food security by reducing the undernourishment prevalence and improving access to water source. Nevertheless, the advantages of increased food security resulting from the conversion of forests and other natural habitats into agricultural land must be assessed against the substantial environmental expenses, including heightened carbon emissions, reduced ecosystem services and biodiversity, risk of disease, and impacts on local living standards and livelihoods.

“…There is a general consensus on accelerated global biodiversity loss in most ecosystems but could be higher in mangroves (Polidoro et al, 2010;Hughes, 2017). Southeast Asia is known as a biodiversity hotspot (Hughes, 2017), although evidence on patterns and rates of biodiversity losses in mangroves are lacking (Sodhi et al, 2010;Tan et al, 2022). One of the primary drivers for restoration is to complement biodiversity conservation (da Rosa and Marques, 2022).…”

Mangroves provide valuable ecological and socio-economic services. The importance of mangroves is particularly evident in Southeast (SE) Asia where the most extensive and diverse forests are found. To recover degraded mangroves, several SE Asian countries have implemented restoration programs. However, to date, there has been no systematic and quantitative synthesis on mangrove restoration studies in the region. Here, we provide a bibliometric-based analysis of mangrove restoration to provide understanding on trends and future directions needed to meet biodiversity and restoration targets in the region. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, we analyzed 335 articles (249 articles with ecological attributes; 86 articles with social attributes) published until February 2022 from Scopus and Web of Science databases. Mangrove restoration studies with ecological and social attributes started around the early 1990s mostly from Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Majority of SE Asian countries have stronger collaboration to western countries rather than within the region. Reasons for restoration vary per country, but mostly were intended to rehabilitate damaged mangroves. Direct planting was the most common restoration method used while hydrological rehabilitation was less practiced. Research on ecological attributes were dominated by biodiversity-related studies focused on flora and fauna, and less on other ecosystem services (e.g., coastal protection, fisheries production, etc.). Studies with social attributes only accounted for <30% of the publications, mostly on topics related to ecological economics. Although mangrove restoration studies are apparent, some thematic restoration foci are needed. We propose priority research topics to help achieve the biodiversity and restoration targets by 2030.
