Greeting everyone, 

I'm Aqilah (can be pronounced as Akira if you're Japanese) and my field of expertise is in forestry and conservation in oil palm plantation landscape. I studied in Forest Science, my experience include forest field assessment for carbon stock on planted and natural forest, and I had also participated in an EIA and GIS mapping on land cover change.

My job scope currently focus on conservation related work in oil palm, which include monitoring and implementing best practices in riparian and high conservation value (HCV) areas management for all these areas located within the oil palm plantation. My current project focus, is converting a large HCV area from an oil palm plantation company into Other Effective Conservation Measure (OECM) area, that focus on preserving the biodiversity and carbon stocks. Currently, we are on the 2nd year progressing in converting this area into an accessible, research facility with trained rangers to assist any wildlife/ flora assessment conducted on site.
