 Since November 2006, the Bornean Wild Cat and Clouded Leopard Project based in the Danum Valley Conservation Area and the Tabin Wildlife Reserve aims to study the behaviour and ecology of the five species of Bornean wild cat — bay cat, flat-headed cat, marbled cat, leopard cat, and Sunda clouded leopard — and their prey, with a focus on the clouded leopard; investigate the effects of habitat alteration; increase awareness of the Bornean wild cats and their conservation needs, using the clouded leopard as a flagship species; and investigate threats to the Bornean wild cats from hunting and trade in Sabah.The Sunda clouded leopard is one of the focal cats of the project "Conservation of Carnivores in Sabah" based in northeastern Borneo since July 2008.The project team evaluates the consequences of different forms of forest exploitation for the abundance and density of felids in three commercially used forest reserves.
