Natural processes, for example fires and storms, climate change, and human activity such as roading, logging and agriculture, divide forested areas into smaller pieces of forest. This process is known as fragmentation. Fragmentation poses direct threats to biodiversity, through limiting the area of forest available to forest reliant species and iso...
Abstract:
The mass exodus of Rohingyas in 2017 has been recognised as one of the major refugee crisis in this century. The atrocity crimes committed by Myanmar authorities resulted in 25,000 murdered, 18,000 women and adolescents raped, 43,000 have been injured and 116,000 Rohingyas were bodily harmed. Such atrocities were labelled as “Classic exa...
Rohingya people have faced recurring military crackdowns and fled from Myanmar in significant numbers in 1978, 1992, 2012, 2015 2016 and 2017. These recurring military crackdowns have devastated Rohingya peoples’ lives and rendered them increasingly marginalised and made most of them destitute. In August 2017 the Myanmar army burned approximately 3...
In 2017 a military backed violent ethnic cleansing forced over 800,000 Rohingya to take shelter in Bangladesh. Under discriminatory policies in Myanmar, the socio-economic conditions and diet of the Rohingya population in Myanmar was precarious. Dietary quality for those displaced may have further deteriorated after the mass migration.
As part of...
Long-standing socio-political and economic suppression and a military crackdown has resulted in the mass exodus of Rohingya people out of Myanmar. The United Nations declared the August 2017 incident as a classic example of “ethnic cleansing” and a “hallmark of genocide”. Based on 3,300 household interviews, this study reveals a significant level o...
The democratisation of Myanmar was welcomed by the Western world, and represents probably one of the most important political reforms that the West celebrated in the earlier part of this decade. Many expected that the transition from more than half a century of military rule towards democratic reform, and the rule of law, would bring economic prosp...
The mass exodus of Rohingya people from Myanmar in 2017, has been recognised as the fastest growing refugee influx in the world and these refugees are currently living in the most densely populated camps in the world in Cox’s Bazar district in Bangladesh. The long-standing, recurring crackdowns have left an estimated population of only 200,000 in M...
Publicly-owned forests in the Australian state of Victoria have been managed intensively for a range of values for more than 150 years (Turner et al., 2011). Over this time, the policy framework within which these forests are managed has evolved in line with changing community values and expectations. From the development of the first Forests Act i...

In the last decade, geographic information systems (GIS) have become accessible to researchers in developing countries, yet guidance remains sparse for developing a GIS. Drawing on experience in developing a GIS for a large community trial in rural Bangladesh, six stages for constructing, maintaining, and using a GIS for health research purposes we...
Exposure to high concentrations of arsenic in tubewell groundwater from the shallow aquifers of Bangladesh could result in up to 300,000 arsenic-related cancer cases over the next four decades. Understanding the magnitude and temporal dynamics of this exposure, via longitudinal studies, is imperative for planning effective mitigation and management...
