Estimasi Populasi Macan Dahan Sunda (Neofelis Diardi) Di Suaka Margasatwa Rimbang Baling Dengan Bantuan Perangkap Kamera
Since 2006, scientists consider Sundaland clouded leopards Neofelis diardi as a unique species, different from the mainland Asia species N. nebulosa. The species is categorized as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List and is only found in Borneo and Sumatra islands. Massive deforestation in Sumatra is believed to increase the endangerment of this species. This study aimed to estimates the density and the clouded leopard population characteristics and patterns of activity, in particular according to altitude and time in Rimbang-Baling Wildlife Reserve. In this study we present the density estimation calculated with spatial capture-recapture models using photographic data resulting from a tiger-focused camera-trapping study. This study used 40 cameras at 20 stations, with accumulation of 1.710 effective camera trap days, resulted 32 independent images of 8 individually identifiable of clouded leopards. They consisted of 5 males, 1 female and 2 could not be determined. The density of clouded leopard in this study was 2,80±1,11 (D±SE) individual/100 km2, suggesting that Rimbang-Baling area potentially supported a viable population of clouded leopard. The leopard were more frequently captured on elevations above 450 m asl (4,61 images/100 trapdays) than on lower elevations (1,10 images/100 trapdays) and it demonstrated both nocturnal (1,23 images/100 trapdays) and diurnal activities (0,64 images/100 trapdays).
