Some Aspects of Wildlife Utilisation in Sarawak

Wildlife use is culturally and traditionally important among the communities in Borneo. In order to understand the current status of wildlife in Borneo, brief observations were conducted in 1995 to investigate the occurrence of wildlife utilisation in local markets in Sarawak. The wildlife involved in the trade were frogs, soft-shelled turtles, snakes, lizards, birds, monkeys, barking deer, mouse deer, sambar deer and wild pigs.
