“…In this study, we observed that the real cause of forest cover loss is poverty, which permeates many rural households in the two study areas and is deeply rooted in the daily needs of the rural communities. Similar observations were made by Aung et al (2012) and Miyamoto et al (2014) who, reported that poverty levels are the principle variable influencing forest product extraction and cover change.…”

Author's ContributionYRK formulated the research question, reviewed the literature, and collected and analyzed the data. YNRZ supervised the work, assisted in the research process, and assisted with article writing and editing.

RF supervised the work, assisted in the research process, and assisted with article writing and editing. Significance StatementThis study addresses the dynamic interaction of indigenous peoples with forest land (property rights) leading to increased investment and increased productivity of plantations as well as to deforestation by actors who play a role in middle-class households. This is important in understanding the dynamic interaction of drivers of deforestation at the local level. This study Deforestation, A Causal Loop Diagrams Model 2 identifies new actors from deforestation that have not been mentioned in the previous literature, especially in Indonesia. AbstractBackground and Objective: This study was motivated by changes in forest conversion to

“…However, these issues are unlikely to affect slow lorises on Tioman. Even though palm oil production is the main cause of deforestation in Peninsular Malaysia [Miyamoto et al, 2014], Tioman's mountainous terrain is largely unsuitable for agriculture. Deforestation on Tioman is, therefore, likely to be determined by its growing tourism industry and, despite significant growth in recent decades, only 0.01% of the island's total forest cover has been lost since 2000 [Reymondii et al, 2012;Hansen et al, 2013].…”

Potential Rediscovery of a Distinct Slow Loris Nycticebus (Mammalia: Strepsirrhini: Lorisidae) from Pulau Tioman

Several slow loris (Nycticebus) sightings have occurred on the island of Pulau Tioman, Peninsular Malaysia, from 2011 to 2018. Records discussed here represent the first confirmed sightings and photographic evidence of Nycticebus on Tioman since its discovery in 1915, refuting presumptions that the Tioman slow loris is extinct. Although originally considered a subspecies of the Sunda slow loris (Nycticebus coucang), several morphological characteristics apparent in all observed individuals, including the white interocular stripe, rufous colouration and pale dorsal stripe, are similar to the Philippine slow loris (Nycticebus menagensis). Further, the broad snout and ears may be unique to this population and suggest that the population may be distinct. I, therefore, recommend that future studies consider the taxonomic status of remote and isolated Nycticebus populations given the possibility that they may represent distinct and unrecognised taxa.
