Geography comments: "elevation ranges from a few hundred meters to ∼1700 m"

Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical moist broadleaf forest

Protection: other protected area

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: selective logging

MAP: 3800.0

Habitat comments: "undisturbed primary rainforest, including mixed dipterocarp, tropical heath, and Casuarina-dominated formations, as well as adjacent mixed dipterocarp forest that was logged in the early- to mid-1990s. Logging consisted of the selective removal of 10–15 trees above 60 cm diameter per hectare. Reduced impact logging techniques were practiced... the area receives ∼3800 mm of rainfall annually... Except for occasional reports of banteng poaching by hunters in the southern portion of the conservation area, hunting is extremely limited in the area"
