Shorea albida (called, along with some other species in the genus Shorea , light red meranti) is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Borneo. [1]
Shorea albida can grow up to 30 meters high. [1]
Shorea albida is found in Brunei, Sarawak state of Malaysia, and the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan. The largest subpopulation is in Brunei, and its range is limited in West Kalimantan. [1]
Shorea albida can be a dominant canopy tree in peat swamp forests. It is also found in lower montane forests [1] and heath forests. [2]
The species' Brunei habitat is not threatened, and its population in the country is considered stable. It is found in four protected areas in Sarawak, but outside those areas its population continues declining from deforestation and fire. The species' population in Indonesia is estimated to have declined by 80% over the last three generations, and is expected to decline further as a result of habitat loss. Its conservation status is assessed as vulnerable. [1]
The bay cat, also known as the Bornean bay cat, is a small wild cat endemic to the island of Borneo that appears to be relatively rare compared to sympatric wild cats, based on the paucity of historical, as well as recent records. Since 2002, it has been listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List because it is estimated that fewer than 2,500 mature individuals exist, and that the population declined in the past. The bay cat has been recorded as rare and seems to occur at relatively low density, even in pristine habitat.
The otter civet is a semiaquatic viverrid native to Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei. It is listed as Endangered because of a serious ongoing population decline, estimated to be more than 50% over the past three generations, inferred from direct habitat destruction, and indirect inferred declines due to pollutants.
Shorea is a genus of about 196 species of mainly rainforest trees in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The genus is named after Sir John Shore, the governor-general of the British East India Company, 1793–1798. The timber of trees of the genus is sold under the common names lauan, luan, lawaan, meranti, seraya, balau, bangkirai, and Philippine mahogany.
Hose's palm civet, also known as Hose's civet, is a viverrid species endemic to the island of Borneo. It is listed on the IUCN Red List as Vulnerable because of an ongoing population decline, estimated to be more than 30% over the last three generations and suspected to be more than 30% in the next three generations due to declines in population inferred from habitat destruction and degradation.
Dipterocarpus globosus is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae endemic to Borneo, where it occurs in Brunei, Sarawak (Malaysia) and Kalimantan (Indonesia).
The gray tree rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae and the only species in the monotypic genus Lenothrix. It is found in forests in Indonesia and Malaysia. A common species, the IUCN has rated it as being of "least concern".
Podocarpus micropedunculatus is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is native to the island of Borneo, occurring in Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak states of Malaysia, and possibly the Indonesian portion of the island.
The white-fronted falconet, also called the Bornean falconet, is a species of bird of prey in the family Falconidae. Described by the British ornithologist Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1879, it is endemic to Borneo, where it is found in Sarawak, Sabah, and extreme northeastern Kalimantan. An extremely small falcon, it is only 14–17 cm (5.5–6.7 in) long and weighs 35–65 g (1.2–2.3 oz), being the smallest species of falconet. It has glossy bluish-black upperparts, black flanks and outer thighs, and a black mask. The belly and vent are pale yellowish-brown, while the throat, cheeks, and breast are white. The species can be told apart from other falconets by the colour of its crown and forehead, which is white in males and reddish-brown in females. It has no subspecies.
The large frogmouth is a species of bird in the family Podargidae. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. Logging of its habitat poses a risk to its survival, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed it as being "near-threatened".
Hose's langur is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae endemic to the island of Borneo, including Brunei, Kalimantan (Indonesia), and East Malaysia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It was first identified in Kutai National Park and Sangkulirang Peninsula, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, in 1985.
The Bornean pygmy shrew is a species of shrew in the family Soricidae. It was named for zoologist Charles Hose.
Shorea cordata is a species of plant in the family Dipterocarpaceae. The species name cordata is derived from Latin and refers to the shape of the leaf base. It is an emergent tree, up to 50 m, found in mixed dipterocarp forest on clay-rich soils over igneous rock.
The Borneo lowland rain forests is an ecoregion, within the tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests biome, of the large island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It supports approximately 15,000 plant species, 380 bird species and several mammal species. The Borneo lowland rain forests is diminishing due to logging, hunting and conversion to commercial land use.
There are three species of orangutan. The Bornean orangutan, the most common, can be found in Kalimantan, Indonesia and Sarawak and Sabah in Malaysia. The Sumatran orangutan and the Tapanuli orangutan are both only found in Sumatra, Indonesia. The conservation status of all three of these species is critically endangered, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.
Shorea faguetioides is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. The specific epithet faguetioides refers to its similarity to Shorea faguetiana.
Shorea fallax is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. The specific epithet fallax means "deceptive" and refers to the species initially being considered to be Shorea scaberrima.
Shorea ferruginea is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. The specific epithet ferruginea means "rust-coloured", referring to the leaf when dry.
Shorea mecistopteryx is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. The specific epithet mecistopteryx means "big wing", referring to the fruit's lobes.
Shorea patoiensis is a tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae, native to Borneo. The specific epithet patoiensis refers to Bukit Patoi, a hill in Brunei.
Shorea parvistipulata, locally known as kawang daun merah, is a species of tree in the family Dipterocarpaceae. It is endemic to Borneo, where it is widespread in lowland and hill rain forests.
