Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This species is found in lowland dipterocarp forest on limestone. The habitats are changing, in that quarrying seems to be leading to a decline in the humidity within the forest, possibly as the result of changing forest structure or possibly due to pollution from quarrying (see Schilthuizen et al. 2005 for a discussion on the declining habitat quality.
Systems: Terrestrial
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Yes
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The karst is currently being quarried (Price 2001) and this is leading to loss of habitat that will impact and eventually destroy the remaining resident populations. A secondary impact of quarrying is the drying out of the karst forest, which has been observed to cause population declines (Schilthuizen et al. 2005).
