Wildlife spottings in the jungle of Brunei

DIO is working with the Brunei Forestry Department and the University of Brunei Darussalem (UBD), led by Drs Salwa Khalid and Ulmar Grafe in British Forces Brunei (BFB)’s jungle training areas to monitor whether training has any impact on the local wildlife.
The DIO Conservation Stewardship Fund financed motion sensor video cameras and BFB granted the university access and logistical support to the training areas, where we operate under agreement with the Forestry Department.
The results so far are looking promising with 30 medium to large mammals detected, representing 86% of the species that might be expected to occur. Most notable is the occurrence of the clouded leopard, and four endangered or critically endangered mammals: the Sunda pangolin, north Borneo gibbon, otter civet, and flat-headed cat. In addition, there were multiple sightings of a rare endemic bird, the Bornean ground cuckoo.
Thanks to the University of Brunei Darussalem and Brunei Forestry Department for their work on the project and for supplying this footage.
