RESOLUTION OF THE 2009 ORANG-UTAN CONSERVATION COLLOQUIUM 49 2 INTRODUCTION Hutan is a grassroots non-profit organization working to conserve orang-utan and other wildlife populations in the forests of Sabah. In 1998, Hutan set up the Kinabatangan Orang-Utan Conservation Project (KOCP) in collaboration with the Sabah Wildlife Department. We are now working with a wide range of partners - local communities, research institutions, government agencies and the private sector - to find realistic solutions where the sustainable use of natural resources and durable socio-economic development can be compatible with, and even support, the conservation of wildlife and their habitat. Through KOCP, Hutan has developed an integrated approach combining scientific research, protection and management of orang-utan habitat, capacity building, awareness campaigns, and community outreach and development projects. Over the past eleven years Hutan has encountered many challenges but our efforts have resulted in many successes: discoveries are being made on the ecology of the orang-utan, new protected areas are created - such as the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary -, sound policies for the conservation of orang-utan and other wildlife are established in Sabah, solutions are implemented that reduce the levels of conflicts between human activities, and wildlife and pioneering initiatives by local communities are leading to tangible economic and conservation gains. Since the start of programme in 1998, we placed a high priority on the intensive training of our local staff to conduct high quality research and conservation activities. Today, our team is composed of 40 highly skilled staff hailing from the native community, working with immense dedication. In 2009, Hutan conducted numerous surveys in forest reserves throughout Sabah to assess orang-utan and other wildlife populations and produced Wildlife Conservation

SOLITA’S PASSAGE NOTES SABAH BORNEO, MALAYSIA Updated August 2014 1 CONTENTS General comments Visas 4 Access to overseas funds 4 Phone and Internet 4 Weather 5 Navigation 5 Geographical Observations 6 Flags 10 Town information Kota Kinabalu 11 Sandakan 22 Tawau 25 Kudat 27 Labuan 31 Sabah Rivers Kinabatangan 34 Klias 37 Tadian 39 Pura Pura 40 Maraup 41 Anchorages 42 2 Sabah is one of the 13 Malaysian states and with Sarawak, lies on the northern side of the island of Borneo, between the Sulu and South China Seas. Sabah and Sarawak cover the northern coast of the island. The lower two‐thirds of Borneo is Kalimantan, which belongs to Indonesia. The area has a fascinating history, and probably because it is on one of the main trade routes through South East Asia, Borneo has had many masters. Sabah and Sarawak were incorporated into the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 and Malaysia is now regarded a safe and orderly Islamic country. Sabah has a diverse ethnic population of just over 3 million people with 32 recognised ethnic groups. The largest of these is the Malays (these include the many different cultural groups that originally existed in their own homeland within Sabah), Chinese and “non‐official immigrants” (mainly Filipino and Indonesian). In recent centuries piracy was common here, but it is now generally considered relatively safe for cruising. However, the nearby islands of Southern Philippines have had some problems with militant fundamentalist Muslim groups – there have been riots and violence on Mindanao and the Tawi Tawi Islands and isolated episodes of kidnapping of people from Sabah in the past 10 years or so.

Increased access to previously remote tropical for- est following logging and changes in land-use facilitates hunting of elusive wild cattle in Borneo, which preferentially select secluded habitat. We collated the first population parameters for the Endangered Bornean banteng Bos javanicus lowi and developed population models to simulate the effect of different hunting offtake rates on survival and the recovery of the population using reintroduced captive-bred individuals. Our findings suggest that the banteng population in Sabah is geographically divided into 4 management units based on connectivity: the Northeast, Sipitang (West), Central and Southeast, which all require active management to prevent further population decline and local extinction.

  • Water Quality Monitoring in Sugut River and Its Tributaries WWF-Malaysia Project Report
    Water Quality Monitoring in Sugut River and its Tributaries WWF-Malaysia Project Report February/2016 Water Quality Monitoring in Sugut River and its Tributaries By Dr. Sahana Harun and Dr. Arman Hadi Fikri Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation Universiti Malaysia Sabah Jalan UMS, 88400 Kota Kinabalu Sabah, Malaysia Report Produced Under Project ST01081R HSBC Bank Malaysia February 2016 Acknowledgements The authors of this report would like to thank the Sabah Forestry Department staff of Trusan-Sugut Forest Reserve for providing accommodation, transport and assistance in carrying out this project. Thanks also to WWF-Malaysia for providing us the opportunity to carry out the work. This project was funded by HSBC Bank Malaysia. Executive Summary WWF-Malaysia initiated the water quality monitoring using physic-chemical and biological parameters along the lower Sugut River and its tributaries to monitor the status of water quality in the area, especially in areas surrounded by oil palm plantations. A total of 12 sampling stations were selected at four tributaries of Sugut River based on agreement with WWF staff members and Sabah Forestry Department (SFD) officer. The four tributaries were Sabang river (next to oil palm mill), Sugut river (next to oil palm plantation), Wansayan river (next to secondary forest) and Kepilatan river (next to Nipah forest). Fieldwork started in August 2015 and ended in November 2015, with a total of four samplings. The results showed that the Water Quality Index (WQI) classified Sg. Sabang as very polluted, while Sg. Sugut, Sg. Wansayan and Sg. Kepilatan were slightly polluted. In accordance to INWQS, parameters TSS, DO and BOD for all tributaries were classified in Class III and IV.

  • Borneo Trip Report Kinabatangan, Gomantang, Sepilok, Klias & Ba
    Borneo Trip Report Kinabatangan, Gomantang, Sepilok, Klias & Ba’Kelalan 9-17 March 2020 John Rogers, Neil Broekhuizen Guided by: BirdTour Asia, Wilbur Goh (Sabah) and Yeo Siew Teck (Sarawak) Overview A very successful 8 day trip covering the Kinabatangan River (as well as Gomantang Cave and Sepilok) in north-east Sabah, an afternoon and evening at the Klias Swamp Forest reserve in south-west Sabah and three days at Ba’Kelalan in north-east Sarawak, We began with 3 full days based at the Myne Resort on the Kinabatangan river. The highlight was undoubtedly spectacular views of a male Bornean Ground Cuckoo. Other highlights at Kinabatangan included great night birding that yielded Large Frogmouth, Reddish Scops Owl and Oriental Bay Owl and other good diurnal birds included the much-desired Storm’s Stork, White-crowned and Wrinkled Hornbills and Sabah (Chestnut-necklaced) Partridge. After a brief visit to the Gomantang Caves we had one night at Sepilok and then a productive morning’s birding with Bornean Bristlehead and the scarce Olive-backed Woodpecker the main highlights. We then flew to Kota Kinabulu and drove the Klias swamp forest reserve where we were successful in seeing the main target; Hook-billed Bulbul. That afternoon and evening we drove into Sarawak and after one night in the regional town of Lawas caught a small flight to Ba’Kelalan. Our three days of birding was spectacular with good views of all 7 of the ‘Sarawak specials’: we were very excited to finally see Hose’s Broadbill after many hours of searching with Dulit and Bornean Frogmouths, Blue-banded and Bornean Banded Pittas, Whitehead’s Spiderhunter and Mountain Serpent Eagle rounding out the target list.

This project has two case studies from the Cameroon in Africa and the island of Borneo in South-east Asia. According to the terms of reference, the objectives of the two case studies were to: Build an evidence base on the geographic overlap between areas currently targeted for agribusiness investments and areas of importance for ape conservation; Identify the scale, trends and drivers of agribusiness investments; Identify the impact that agribusiness investments are having on ape conservation and build in-country engagement and awareness on this issue; Assess opportunities and constraints in legal frameworks and political economy; and, Identify key issues generated by the interface between agribusiness investments and ape conservation in order to highlight lessons learned and help the Arcus Foundation develop a global strategy on ape conservation in the context of large-scale land acquisitions.
