Description
Cao and co-authors census large and mid-sized mammals in Xishuangbanna over a decade. Camera traps ran from 2012 to 2022 across nine sites. The team set 784 traps in eight reserves and one state forest farm. Records found 43 species in six orders and 37 genera. Nine species from old records did not appear.
Small, split reserves lacked big predators and big grazers. Most common species also showed lower counts in those sites. The less guarded forest farm held rich mammal diversity. Mix of species varied a lot by site, most for rare species. The authors warn that large, rare mammals face the most risk.
