New Study Urges Better Protection for Sunda Clouded Leopards
A recent study led by Ewan Macdonald from Oxford University, published on August 21, 2024, highlights the urgent need for better protection of Sunda clouded leopards in Borneo. With the population reduced to around 3,800 due to habitat loss from deforestation, the study reveals that current protected areas often miss critical habitats. By focusing on high-risk areas, protection could increase leopard habitats by 53% and save 82 million tonnes of carbon. The study recommends implementing financial incentives like REDD+ and stricter regulations to combat deforestation, urging collaboration among governments, conservationists, and local communities.
