Abstract:
Mammals play a role in maintaining the continuity of ecological processes. The presence of mammals in a forest area helps restore forest condition through their roles as natural predators, seed dispersers, and pollinators. Mammals are abundant at PT Sipef Biodiversity Indonesia (PT SBI), a natural forest management company operating in the forestry sector, whose forest area serves as habitat for various wildlife species, including mammals. This study aimed to determine mammal diversity in the area using camera traps. The camera traps used by PT SIPEF Biodiversity Indonesia are of the Bushnell type, deployed at a total of 42 stations distributed across various locations within the forest area. Cameras trap were placed along trails frequently used by mammals. Based on the randomly installed cameras, 23 mammal species were identified. Some of these are priority key species with a critical conservation status (Critically Endangered) according to the IUCN, namely Cuon alpinus, Panthera tigris sumatrae, Lutra sumatrana, Symphalangus syndactylus, and Symphalangus sp.
