Tiger Research in Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia
Full Book
Even in Taman Negara National Park, this most critical conservation area, ecological data on many endangered species, including tiger-prey communities, are lacking. Thus, this joint project between University of Florida and PERHILITAN aims to provide the baseline ecological information on tigers and prey from Taman Negara, using sampling-based population estimation techniques. More specific objectives are: 1) to develop and refine the sampling techniques necessary to estimate the density of tigers and abundance of prey species, 2) to estimate population size of the tiger and prey biomass, 3) to investigate the tiger ecology in relation to the habitat integrity, and 4) to improve the local capacity in application of sampling techniques so that the monitoring of the tiger population in the country can be continued.
