Abstract
The rapid and extensive development of the Lowland Dipterocarp rainforest is seriously affecting the Malaysian Seladang (Bos gaurus hubbacki). Its natural habitat of lowland riverine forest is being greatly depleted by development schemes such as agricultural plantations extensive logging hydro electric dams and human settlements. Field surveys of six seladang areas in the states of Pahang Johore Trengganu and Kelantan have revealed that they were affected or threatened in the near future by such development. In a more intensive study of seladang food requirement in the Lepar River Valley Pahang radio telemetry techniques were used. Telemetry locations of three animals over a fourteen month period indicated a heavy use of disturbed areas by the animals. The percentage usage of secondary forest was about 73 fringe area 45 and palm oil plantation area 20.
