| Abstract: | Background The continued depletion of tropical rainforests and fragmentation of natural habitats has led to significant ecological changes
which place most top carnivores under heavy pressure. Various methods have been used to determine the status of top carnivore
populations in rainforest habitats, most of which are costly in terms of equipment and time. In this study we utilized, for
the first time, a rigorous track classification method to estimate population size and density of clouded leopards (Neofelis nebulosa) in Tabin Wildlife Reserve in north-eastern Borneo (Sabah). |
