Some of the last intact rainforests in Southeast Asia are found in Borneo. Yet most national parks there are too small and isolated to protect large, wide-ranging animals from accelerating logging and climate change. CSP is working with a group of collaborators, who include Jedediah Brodie from the University of British Columbia, to protect habitat corridors that will link the existing parks to landscape that is capable of conserving large mammals such as the clouded leopard.
The group is focusing on seven protected areas that straddle the core of Borneo, as well as several unprotected forests in between. We are developing a roadmap to legally protect a network of habitat corridors for rare and wide-ranging umbrella species, the Sunda clouded leopard, sambar, banded civet, pig-tailed macaque, and sun bear.
