The bornean clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi ssp. borneensis) is a sub-species of N. diardi that is distinct based on genetic analysis (Wilting et al. (2007), with the conservation categorized as endangered. As the forest-dependent species, the major threat of bornean clouded leopards is habitat loss. The clouded leopard may be a complementary flagship and umbrella species to the apes, as they may persist at lower densities and require larger areas of habitat and a sufficient prey base (Burnham et al. 2013).

Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park (BBBR-NP), also known as Tanakaya, is a national park administratively located in the two provinces of Central Kalimantan and West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The park is in the mountainous Schwaner range, and its summit, Bukit Raya, is 2,278 m above sea level. Tanakaya is one of the high priority areas for clouded leopard conservation because it functions as an essential connection for habitat in West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, and Sarawak (Herns et al., 2016). However, there is no information on the population density or occupancy rate at the site level. As a result, it is difficult to design specific conservation measures without knowledge

The objectives of our project are: 1. Provide population density estimation of the bornean clouded leopard population using a spatially explicit capture recapture model. 2. Estimate the probability of occurrence of bornean clouded leopard and explore hypotheses about factors (e.g., habitat, environmental conditions, etc.) thought to influence this species occurrence using the occupancy model. 3. Provide capacity building on camera trap and data analysis for national park staff. 4. Provide management input for a long-term monitoring strategy and priority protection areas based on the density and occupancy model of a bornean clouded leopard. 5. Contribute to the preparation of a national strategy document for the conservation of wild cats in Indonesia.
