| Abstract: | A comprehensive survey on large mammal diversity from a disturbed forest in Peninsular Malaysia has been carried out for over
a period of 21 months. A total of 24 camera traps which accumulated to 5972 trap days. A total of 33 species 27 genera and
15 families of mammals were recorded via camera trapping and observations. The use of camera traps provides detailed information
on diversity of some cryptic and secretive mammals. Secondary forest may support a wide diversity of mammals at a stable condition
where intrusion, excision and fragmentation are reduced or avoided. The threats to mammals in the study are also discussed. |
