A series of camera trapping surveys were carried out in Temenggor Forest Reserve, Hulu Perak to determine the presence and relative abundance of mammal species. Five camera trapping surveys using 11 camera traps were conducted in the study area from Jun 2007 to August 2008. The camera traps recorded a total of 1030 photographic images during the study period, of which 631 were images of mammals from 21 species. The most common species observed were Malayan Tapir (Tapirus indicus) with 50.4% of the total number of photographs obtained followed by Malayan Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus) with 14.7%, and Barking Deer (Muntiacus muntjok) with 6.7%. Several species were photographed only once throughout the study period including Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis), Banded Linsang (Prionodon linsang), Binturong (Arctictis binturong), Malayan Weasel (Mustela nudipes) and two species of squirrel.
