- Abstract
This study aims to develop an Asian elephant habitat suitability model using remote sensing and GIS technology with multi-criteria evaluation. The home range of wild Asian elephants was determined using GPS-telemetry. This data was used to identify Asian elephants' habitat preference parameters and their distributions. Fuzzy logic model was then applied in the process to determine the suitability habitat in GIS environment. The results showed the presence of highly suitable habitats outside protected areas, thereby supporting habitat management and landscape connectivity initiatives within the National Elephant Conservation Action Plan in Peninsular Malaysia.
