Bornean Clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi ssp. borneensis)

Mohamed bin Zayed Species project number 242535448

Developing an optimal monitoring program for the endangered Bornean Clouded Leopard in Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park, Indonesia

The objectives of our project are: 1. Provide population density estimation of the bornean clouded leopard population using a spatially explicit capture recapture model. 2. Estimate the probability of occurrence of bornean clouded leopard and explore hypotheses about factors (e.g., habitat, environmental conditions, etc.) thought to influence this species occurrence using the occupancy model. 3. Provide capacity building on camera trap and data analysis for national park staff. 4. Provide management input for a long-term monitoring strategy and priority protection areas based on the density and occupancy model of a bornean clouded leopard. 5. Contribute to the preparation of a national strategy document for the conservation of wild cats in Indonesia.
