Abstract

The lowland rain-forest ecosystem in Sundaland (Borneo, Sumatra, Java, the Malay Peninsula south of 10°N, and associated islands) has been recognized as a biodiversity hotspot (Myers et al. 2000). However, it is suffering from huge amounts of disturbance, and it is predicted that South-East Asia will lose three-quarters of its rain forest by the turn of next century (Sodhi et al. 2004).
