| A new record for the Borneo bay cat in central Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo | |
| 2011 Cat News (55): 04-06 | |
A new locality of the Borneo bay cat _Catopuma badia_ was recorded in a logging concession area in Anap Muput Forest Management Unit in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. The bay cat was recorded in the wild in video format using a camera trap. This new discovery extends the distribution of bay cat to include central Sarawak, where there have been no records to date. This record suggests that, in addition to protected areas where bay cat has also been reported, logged over forests, where sustainable forest management is practiced may be beneficial for the conservation of bay cat and other wildlife. |
