Sunda clouded leopard: a male, photographed at around 1300m above sea level in the Crocker Range Park, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo on 23 October 2011. The largest felid on Borneo, little is known about this adaptable yet rare species. It is thought to occur at relatively low population densities and hence, is likely to be affected by ongoing habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching and hunting of its prey base.
KOTA KINABALU: The Sunda clouded leopard will be the next endangered animal to come under protection in Sabah.
This will hopefully be made possible after local and international scientists, government agencies and industry players come together in a three-day workshop on how to protect the species.
