There are five wild cat species found only in Borneo all of them related to the domestic house cat, all of them we know very little about.
All five are believed to be in decline due to widespread habitat destruction, contaminated water and poaching which makes our interconnected approach to conservation so important.
In response to the threats our multi-landscape camera trap project helps inform our programmes and sheds light on the secret lives of Borneo's beautiful wild cats.
Your cash helps protect them, give what you can.
Borneo’s cat species are rare and so they have historically received very little research or specific conservation focus, something we are out to change.
After 10+ years of camera trap experience we have launched the very first, specific study to learn about the five wild cat species, the Sunda clouded leopard (we call them cloudies), the Sunda leopard cat, the bay cat, the marbled cat and the flat headed cat.
We filmed the endangered bay cat in 2016 leading to a discovery of a new population, since then we have been doing all we can to learn more to protect them but we want to do more.
4 of the 5 species of wild cat in Borneo are in decline due to human activities – you can help.
This project runs across very different and unique landscapes deep in the heart of Borneo; near-pristine lowland forest and the Sebangau National Park, one of the largest peat-swamp forests in the world.
Using camera trap footage, we’ll determine the distribution of the five wild-cat species for a proper assessment of their population, habits and distribution. By researching the ways these animals are adapting to human disturbance, we can develop targeted action plan to improve their conservation to directly combat threats.
Borneo Nature Foundation is a non-profit conservation organisation. We work to protect some of the most important areas of tropical rainforest and to safeguard the wildlife, environment and indigenous culture on Borneo.
