For Endangered Species Day we have an amazing, rare sighting!🎉 Together with Tanjung Puting National Park, we recently recorded camera trap footage of a family of Endangered Bornean clouded leopards – a mother and two young infants.🐆 As a forest-dependent species, habitat loss from deforestation has reduced the population. Camera trap research is carried out to assess species populations and distributions. Albeit rare, the clouded leopard has been recorded a few times in the National Park, but this is the first time we have seen a mother with two offspring. For the population to be reproducing is an incredibly encouraging sign.📷 Clouded leopards have a low recruitment rate, meaning that less adults than expected produce and raise offspring which live long enough to join the breeding population at two years old.🌳 It is important to protect the forest habitat so this family remains healthy, and the offspring can grow up safely to hopefully one day reproduce themselves.🌿 Share this rare sighting! 🧡 You can find out more about Orangutan Foundation here:
