Roads can have an array of deleterious effects on tropical forests and their wildlife, and often facilitate forest colonization, hunting, deforestation and other serious impacts in frontier areas. Research on the impacts of roads on mammals has largely been conducted in the Amazon, Africa, and Australasia. However, such studies are surprisingly scarce in Southeast Asia, where rates of deforestation are the highest among major tropical regions and between 21-48% of mammal species are predicted to become extinct by 2100.
Among the most mega-diverse of Asian nations is Malaysia, which has 298 known mammalian species in forests currently criss-crossed by 90,129 km of roads (of which 79% are paved; Ministry of Works). As such, Malaysia contains a mosaic of landscapes suitable for investigations of the impacts of roads on large mammals such as the endangered Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris). The main threats to large mammals such as tigers are habitat loss and illegal hunting, but their response to roads has not been adequately assessed in Peninsular Malaysia. In Malaysia, no study has quantitatively demonstrated that roads are responsible for declines in mammal populations. Several critical research questions will be answered in this project:
1) How will tiger landscapes in Malaysia be affected by new roads in the future? 2) Are viaducts utilized by large mammals in primary ecological linkages and what factors affect their effectiveness? 3) How do roads affect the livelihoods of people living near and far from roads?
This proposed project aims to provide vital information to help road authorities understand how roads affect mammals and people in Peninsular Malaysia. The project will have strong field ecological and applied conservation-policy components, especially by contributing to the Outcome 4 of the National Tiger Action Plan for Malaysia and Central Forest Spine Master Plan for Ecological Linkages. Field work will be conducted within priority areas for tiger conservation in Peninsular Malaysia, as well as the primary and secondary ecological linkages identified in the CFS Master Plan.
Interested parties should have a biology background with experience in the field. A monthly salary of RM1,800 excluding field allowances will be offered.
Interested parties should send their CV or queries to neovicarius@gmail.com |
