| Asiatic golden cat | |
| 2010 Cat News (Special Issue 5): 40-41 | |
Little is known about the status of the Asiatic golden cat and it is rarely seen in the wild. However, there has been a recent increase in records from camera trapping studies (Sumatra; J. Sanderson, pers. comm.). Some studies have found more records of Asiatic golden cats than of some other sympatric small felids, suggesting it may be more common than previously thought (IUCN 2010). Nonetheless, population numbers are thought to be decreasing throughout its range, mainly due to habitat loss through deforestation (IUCN 2010). |
