Human-dominated ecosystems speed up the loss of habitats, populations, and species. Thus, monitoring and managing the Earth’s heritage of biodiversity is a challenge in natural resource management. Mapping protected areas (PAs) is essential in understanding the disturbance that can affect biodiversity and conservation management. Land use-land cover (LULC) maps can be used as a decision making tool by policy makers to ensure sustainable development and understanding of the effect of human activities within and around PAs. However, in Malaysia, the limited updated maps of PAs make the effective management of PAs problematic. Therefore, this study aimed to produce an updated Land LULC map for the PA Krau Wildlife Reserve (KWR) and its surroundings using remote sensing and related geospatial technologies. Three supervised classification algorithms were used and compared. Multidated …
