Resilience of terrestrial mammals to logging in an active concession in Sarawak, Borneo
Selective logging is very widespread across the tropics and can alter the habitat for myriad wildlife species. But while many studies have assessed the impacts of past logging on forest animals, far fewer have investigated how species respond to logging while the timber operations are actually...

| description |
Selective logging is very widespread across the
tropics and can alter the habitat for myriad wildlife species.
But while many studies have assessed the impacts of past
logging on forest animals, far fewer have investigated how
species respond to logging while the timber operations are
actually going on. This is an important knowledge gap
because, considering the prevalence of logging across the
world, numerous areas will be undergoing active extraction at any given time. We compared the occurrence and
diel activity patterns of individual species of medium- to
large-bodied terrestrial mammals, as well as the richness of
the entire assemblage, among sites that were either
unlogged, had been logged historically, or had ongoing
‘reduced impact’ timber extraction in the Kapit Region of
Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. We found no significant differences in estimated occupancy or activity patterns of
particular species, or in overall species richness, among
logging treatments. Across sites, species richness in this
area appeared to be as high as or higher than in many other
parts of the state, including some protected areas. Though
monitoring is needed to assess potential long-term impacts, our results suggest that reduced-impact logging
could allow economic development that is sustainable for
many wildlife populations |
