Penyerpihan habitat adalah pemacu kepada isu kepupusan pelbagai spesies yang menyebabkan serpihan hutan menjadi lebih kecil dan terpencil. Kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk mengukur komposisi serta kepelbagaian spesies mamalia terestrial (bersaiz sederhana dan besar) di koridor ekologi CFS1:PL1 dan CFS1:PL6. Pemasangan 211 perangkap kamera di kedua-dua koridor berjaya menghasilkan sejumlah 43,799 imej bebas (8,594 perangkap/malam). Sebanyak 30 spesies mamalia berjaya direkodkan dengan 28 spesies daripadanya ditemui di PL1 dan 17 spesies di PL6. Artiodactyla adalah Order yang menunjukkan kekerapan hadir tertinggi (869 imej bebas) manakala Karnivora adalah Order yang mencatatkan kepelbagaian spesies tertinggi (14 spesies). Sebanyak sembilan spesies menyumbang kepada lebih daripada 90% komuniti mamalia di PL1 dan PL6
dan tiada perbezaan yang signifikan antara komuniti mamalia di kedua-dua kawasan kajian. Hasil analisis mendapatibabi hutan (Sus scrofa)
(PCRI = 62.17), kijang (Muntiacus muntjak) (PCRI = 31.20) dan beruang
matahari (Helarctos malayanus) (PCRI = 15.14) merekodkan kekerapan (PCRI > 10) yang tinggi melintasi koridor PL1.
Manakala di PL6, spesies yang sering direkodkan ialah kijang (Muntiacus
muntjak) (PCRI = 47.70), tapir Malaya (Tapirus
indicus) (PCRI = 26.21), babi hutan (Sus scrofa) (PCRI = 23.61),
gajah Asia (Elephas maximus) (PCRI = 11.57) dan seladang (Bos gaurus)
(PCRI = 10.63). Walau bagaimanapun, kekerapan melintasi koridor bagi mamalia
sederhana hanya dilihat di PL1 sahaja oleh spesies pelanduk/napuh (Tragulus sp.) (PCRI = 20.88) dan landak raya (Hystrix
brachyura) (PCRI = 14.68). Tuntasnya, langkah pemuliharaan yang lebih
efektif dan pelan pembinaan lintasan hidupan liar perlu dilaksanakan di
kedua-dua koridor memandangkan koridor ini digunakan pada frekuensi yang
tinggi.

Abstract
Habitat fragmentation is a key driver to the issue of
multi-species extinction which causes forest fragments to become smaller and
more isolated. This study was conducted to determine the composition and
diversity of terrestrial mammal species (medium to large size) in the
ecological corridors of CFS1:PL1 and CFS1:PL6. The installation of 211 camera
traps in both corridors successfully recorded a total of 43,799 independent
images (8,594 traps/night). There are a total of 30 mammalian species
documented, including 28 species in PL1 and 17 species in PL6. The Order with
the highest frequency of presence (869 independent images) was Artiodactyla, while the Order with the highest species
diversity was Carnivore (14 species). There were no significant differences
between the mammalian communities in the two study areas, and nine species
contributed to more than 90% of the mammalian communities in PL1 and PL6. This
analysis found that wild boar (Sus scrofa)
(PCRI = 62.17), barking deer (Muntiacus muntjak) (PCRI = 31.20), and sun bear (Helarctos malayanus)
(PCRI = 15.14) recorded a high frequency of crossing the ecological corridor
(PCRI > 10) of PL1. While in PL6, the most frequently recorded species were
barking deer (Muntiacus muntjak)
(PCRI = 47.70), Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus) (PCRI = 26.21), wild boar (Sus scrofa)
(PCRI = 23.61), Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) (PCRI = 11.57) and gaur
(Bos gaurus) (PCRI = 10.63). However, for
medium sized mammals, the frequency of crossing the corridor was only seen in
PL1 by the species of mousedeer (Tragulus sp.) (PCRI = 20.88) and Malayan
porcupine (Hystrix brachyura)
(PCRI = 14.68). Therefore, more effective conservation plans and wildlife
crossing structure need to be implemented in both corridors as these corridors
were used at high frequencies.
