The major finding of bat surveys shows that montane areas have distinct chiropteran composition compared with those in lowland and logged areas. Disturbed habitats do pose a threat to the overall diversity of bats, with the generalist bats been more successful in colonising altered area than those with specialised habitat requirements. Sampling of bats targeted at different site and vegetation type from several protected areas in Sarawak have revealed the current record of bats in Sarawak and its diversity can be monitored for better management of biodiversity in this important region.

Distribution of Sunda Stink-Badger Mydaus Javanensis in Sarawak, Malaysia
Distribution of Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis in Sarawak, Malaysia Abstract Belden GIMAN and Alex JUKIE Mydaus javanensis is one of the least studied mammals in the island of Borneo. Standard sources The Sunda Stink-badger (Teledu) imply that it occurs throughout Sarawak, but this stance is not supported by the few, and geographically restricted records here traced in a review of records from the state. Historical specimens and recent sightings, in the context of survey effort across the state, suggest that Sunda Stink-badger does not occur south of Miri Division, and may even be erratic in occurrence outside Keywordsthe northernmost: Borneo, part of the state. Taburan TeleduMiri Mydaus Division, javanensis legal protection, di Sarawak, protected area Malaysia Abstrak Mydaus javanensis Teledu atau lebih dikenali dengan nama saintifiknya merupakan salah satu daripada spesies haiwan karnivora kecil yang jarang dan hampir tidak pernah dikaji secara terperinci di kepulauan Borneo khasnya. Berdasarkan sumber-sumber yang lazimnya didapati sebelum ini, menegaskan bahawa haiwan ini telah dikenalpasti dan dikesan meliputi hutan negeri Sarawak, tetapi kebenaran ini tidak dapat disokong kebenarannya oleh sesetengah pihak secara kajian saintifik, disebabkan oleh kawasan taburan geografi haiwan ini yang terhad dan rekod-rekod lampau yang tidak mencukupi untuk menyokong fakta sedemikian. Berdasarkan specimen-spesimen lama ditambah lagi dengan pemerhatian dan pemantauan yang telah dan sedang dijalankan untuk baru-baru ini terutamanya meliputi kawasan negeri Sarawak telah mengesahkan bahawa haiwan ini tidak menghuni kawasan di bahagian selatan bahagian Miri sehingga ke bahagian Kuching dan berkemungkinan juga mempunyai taburan yang Katatidak kunci sekata terutamanya di kawasan utara negeri Sarawak. : Borneo, Miri sehingga ke bahagian Kuching, kawalan undang-undang, kawasan terkawal Introduction et al - eycutt 1997).

Alhough much of Sarawak has been the fact that Malaysia is one of the most popular logged and developed, the state still contains destinations for birdwatchers visiting the region, extensive tracts of rainforest habitat; it is still one very few visit the largest state in the country. of the least developed states in Malaysia once away Peninsular Malaysia, and the state of Sabah in east from the four main coastal cities. Given its extensive Malaysia, are well-known and are visited several coastline, Sarawak contains excellent wintering times a year by international bird tour operators grounds for waders and other waterbirds. BirdLife as well as by many independent birdwatchers. But International has designated 22 Important Bird Areas Malaysia’s largest state, Sarawak, which sits (IBAs) in Sarawak, the highest number for any state between the two and occupies one fifth of eastern in Malaysia and more than in all the states of west Borneo, is unfortunately often overlooked by Malaysia combined (18), whilst Sabah has 15 IBAs birdwatchers. The lack of attention given to (Yeap et al. 2007). Sarawak is not only a loss for birders, but also to the state, as the revenue that overseas birdwatchers Why do birders neglect Sarawak? bring in can be a powerful stimulus for protecting That Sarawak is neglected is clear from an examination forests, wetlands and other important bird habitats.

The International Tropical Timber Organization
INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT DOCUMENT TITLE BUFFER ZONE MANAGEMENT FOR PULONG TAU NATIONAL PARK WITH INVOLVEMENT OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN SARAWAK, MALAYSIA SERIAL NUMBER PD 635/12 Rev.2 (F) COMMITTEE REFORESTATION AND FOREST MANAGEMENT SUBMITTED BY GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA ORIGINAL LANGUAGE ENGLISH SUMMARY When the Pulong Tau National Park (PTNP) was created in 2005, the local ethnic communities were not granted privileges to use the park’s resources for subsistence, while the forests outside the park were already licensed for logging long before 2005. Many of the communities are still forest-dependent even up to the present day. The need to safeguard the Totally Protected Areas’ (TPAs) rich resources from anthropogenic activities is becoming increasingly necessary and urgent. The development objective of the project proposal is to contribute to the integrated development of the buffer zone for environmental conservation and uplifting local communities livelihood. The specific objective is to secure the buffer zone’s forest for use by indigenous communities and to strengthen the protection of Pulong Tau. These objectives will be achieved through the establishment of 6,000 ha of the buffer zone, and securing a forest base to meet the communities’ needs. The project objectives and outputs will be met through integrated buffer zone management, training, and active involvement of primary and secondary stakeholders. The project will be sustained by Forest Department Sarawak (FDS) through its Community Service Initiative Unit (CSIU).
