Abstract

A survey was conducted in Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve, Selangor from 24 to 28 February 2020. The main objective of this survey is to document the small vertebrates information from this area. There were two harps and 10 mist nets deployed to capture the bats, with an addition of 50 collapsible cage traps placed along the transect line of 500 metres for the trapping of non-volant small mammals. The collapsible cage traps were baited with oil palm seed. The observation of avifauna and active searches for herpetofauna were also carried out. A total of eight small mammal species from four families, 19 species of avifauna from 13 families, and eight species of the herpetofauna from five families were documented. There is not much information on small vertebrates at Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve that has been recorded. With this information, it is hoped that a long-term study can be carried out and an effective management plan can be formulated to conserve this forest reserve.
