Monica, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines. OPEN ACCESS 1 [email protected] (corresponding author), 2 [email protected], 3 [email protected], 4 [email protected] Abstract: A camera trap survey was conducted in the recently protected Cleopatra’s Needle Critcal Habitat (CNCH) in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines from February to May 2015 at 39 camera trap sites. A bait of common pig’s blood was used at 36 sites, while the three remaining sites were surveyed without a bait and monitored a stream with a latrine site or mud bath with tracks. Seven natve species were detected and three of these species were endemic to the island province. Species included: Common Palm Civet Paradoxurus philippinensis, Palawan Porcupine Hystrix pumila, Collared Mongoose Urva semitorquata, Palawan Stnk Badger Mydaus marchei, Palawan Leopard Cat Prionailurus bengalensis heaneyi, Asian Small-clawed Oter Aonyx cinereus, and Malay Civet Viverra tangalunga. Analysis of the actvity paterns of the three most commonly captured species revealed predominantly nocturnal actvity for the Common Palm Civet, Palawan Porcupine, and Palawan Stnk Badger. The Philippine Palm Civet showed occasional diurnal actvity. The seven photo-captured species appeared most common, or were at the least recorded, below 750m. Five species (the Philippine Palm Civet, Palawan Porcupine, Collared Mongoose, Palawan Stnk Badger, and Palawan Leopard Cat) were also recorded above 1000m. The CNCH supports two threatened species, the Palawan Porcupine and the Asian Small-clawed Oter, which are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, and the Collared Mongoose is listed as Near Threatened. The Palawan Leopard Cat is considered Vulnerable within the Philippines, although it has yet to be assessed by the IUCN. This documentaton highlights the biodiversity signifcance within the newly protected critcal habitat and the need to support ongoing conservaton eforts within the critcal habitat.

Sumatran Tiger Conservation Forum In 2008, Javan Ferret Badger Melogale orientalis was categorised as Data Deficient by The IUCN (HarimauKita), Jl. Samiaji III No. 10, Red List of Threatened Species, indicating that there was too little relevant information to assess its Bantarjati, Bogor, 16153, West Java, conservation status. According to the 2008 assessment, its known distribution was restricted to parts Indonesia. of the islands of Java and Bali with no records from Central Java and few, if any, explicitly from the lowlands or far from natural forest. During 2004–2014, 17 opportunistic Javan Ferret Badger records were obtained from various habitats, from 100 to nearly 2000 m altitude. These included 2. four records in Central Java and the adjacent Yogyakarta Special Region, filling in a gap in the Fauna & Flora International – Indonesia species’ known range. West Java records included three locations below 500 m altitude. Several Programme, Komplek Margasatwa records were from around villages, up to 5–8 km from the closest natural forest, indicating that this Baru No 7A, Jl. Margasatwa Raya, species uses heavily human-altered areas. This evidence of a wider altitudinal and spatial Jakarta, 12450, Indonesia distribution, and use of highly human-modified habitats, allowed re-categorisation in 2016 on the IUCN Red List as Least Concern.

    Records of Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis from Rajuk Forest, Malinau, North Kalimantan, Indonesia RUSTAM1 and A. J. GIORDANO2 Abstract Several records of the little known Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis from North Kalimantan, Indonesia, on the island of Borneo were gathered during a pilot survey of local mammals. Recent records from Indonesian Borneo are few. Field observa- tions and records of hunted individuals suggest a locally abundant population.

  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.
