Citation Ong, P., Balete, D. & Heaney, L. 2016. Sundasciurus steerii. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016: e.T21163A22249713. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-2.RLTS.T21163A22249713.en. Downloaded on 02 August 2021. Description JUSTIFICATION This species is assessed as Least Concern because it is widespread and common in degraded and secondary habitats. There are no major threats to this species. RANGE DESCRIPTION This species is found in Peninsular Malaysia and Thailand, Sumatra, Borneo and several small adjacent islands. DESCRIPTION This species is common in suitable habitat. This species was rarely found in a survey conducted by Saiful and Nordin (2004) in Peninsular Malaysia (Weng River sub-catchment). HABITAT AND ECOLOGY It occurs in primary and disturbed forests, in both lowlands and mountains (Lekagul and McNeely 1988). It seems to cope well in forests that have been affected by logging. This is a diurnal and arboreal species (Saiful and Nordin 2004). THREATS There are no major threats to this species. CONSERVATION ACTIONS It occurs in numerous protected areas across its range. Saiful and Nordin (2004) state the need for further comparative study on this species abundance, density and distribution and its relationship to forest structure or habitat quality, spatially and temporally, in hill dipterocarp forest of Malaysia.
