. The Sungai Sedik territory (with a density of 4.1 persons per [km..sup.2]) was occasionally hunted by members of at least five other longhouse communities and residents of Lanjak. The estimated population density of the area around and including Sungai Sedik (about 322 [km..sup.2]) was 5.1 persons per [km..sup.2]. The Sungai Sedik economy was based on swidden rice agriculture and male labor migration to Malaysia Malaysia (məlā`zhə), independent federation (2005 est. pop. 23,953,000), 128,430 sq mi (332,633 sq km), Southeast Asia.

Data on hunting were collected by the author in 1993-1994 using an interview schedule developed by himself, Carol Colfer and Ian Hood* It was administered immediately after every hunting trip for six one-month sampling periods distributed evenly over a year* Interviews were conducted in the Iban language The Iban language is spoken in Kalimantan (the Indonesian part of Borneo) and the Sarawak state region of Malaysia by the Iban, a branch of the Dayak ethnic group (formerly known as "Sea Dayak"). . The hunters consisted of twelve men (over 15 years of age) and eleven boys (under 15 years), and they were asked a series of questions about hunts and their observations.

 hunted in groups; occasionally a man would take a boy or two with him. In previous analyses of these data (i.e., Wadley et al. 1997, Wadley and Colfer 2004), boys' hunting was excluded because the author discovered early on that during periods when no data were collected, boys tended to hunt less. It was deduced that they were going out of their way to hunt during study periods, to bring back prey for analysis and identification. (This was not the case for adult hunting which is representative of the periods when no data were collected.) Thus the hunting done by boys is not representative of hunting patterns, but the data are included here because of their important observations on faunal diversity.

Although some game (particularly bearded pigs) were occasionally taken to the market town and sold, there was only one case of this during the study period (Wadley et al. 1997). The capture of live animals also occasionally occurred in the area, such as when hunters shot female orangutans or gibbons Famous people named Gibbons include:

 in order to capture their young for sale. No instances of this occurred at Sungai Sedik, although there were cases elsewhere.

Results and Discussion

Hunters encountered 102 species of birds from 27 families and 45 species of mammals from 16 families (Tables 1-2) in habitats ranging from fallowed secondary forest to old longhouse sites. Most encounters occurred in older growth forest of various kinds (see Wadley et al. 1997, Wadley and Colfer 2004) as hunters concentrated their efforts on locations most likely to contain or attract game. They did not systematically sample forest habitats, thus likely missing a number of animals.

Table 3 lists animals encountered by the author outside of the hunting study during the years 1992-1994. Of particular interest is Ptilocercus lowii, a highly rare squirrel squirrel, name for small or medium-sized rodents of the family Sciuridae, found throughout the world except in Australia, Madagascar, and the polar regions; it is applied especially to the tree-living species. .

A simple comparison was made of wildlife diversity at Sungai Sedik with that reported for the DSNP core and that of Gunung Palung National Park Gunung Palung National Park lies in the southern portion of the province of West Kalimantan, Indonesia, not far from the kabupaten city of Ketapang. The park is notable for its diversity of ecological zones, ranging from low-lying swampland to old-growth forests to mountains, and , also in West Kalimantan (see Wadley, 2002 for details). Measured in terms of species numbers, Sungai Sedik was, on the surface, less diverse overall than the core of DSNP. There were 224 species of birds from 47 families reported for DSNP. For mammals, DSNP had 39 species from 20 families reported. Compared to Gunung Gunung is the Malay or Indonesian word for mountain - it is regularly used in volcano and mountain names throughout South east asia. E.g.
  • Gunung Kembar -> Mount Kembar
  • Gunung Merapi -> Mount Merapi

 with Gunung Palung having 73 species from 24 families reported. However, the proportion of species numbers was very similar among these sites (e.g., for birds: pigeons, cuckoos, hornbills, bulbuls, babblers, flycatchers, spiderhunters, and flowerpeckers; for mammals: treeshrews, monkeys This list includes individual non-human primates (capuchin monkeys, squirrel monkeys, Rhesus Macaques, and marmosets) who are in some way famous or notable.

, squirrels, and civets) with some exceptions (e.g., for birds: eagles and woodpeckers; for mammals: rats).

One factor in the differences between Sungai Sedik and Gunung Palung may have been environmental (e.g., Sungai Sedik's mosaic forest and Gunung Palung's old growth lowland forest). But the forests within DSNP, like those of Sungai Sedik, were not at all uniform. Sungai Sedik's proximity to DSNP suggests the method of study, with its focus on hunting and on hunters' unsystematic reports, as being important in explaining some of these differences. Nonetheless, Iban forest management--through the cycling of secondary forest for swiddening and preservation of various tracts of older growth forest--may promote some degree of biodiversity biodiversity: see biological diversity.

In the years since this study, there have been a number of important changes that have affected local habitats. Foremost among them is the growth in human population, both regionally and at Sungai Sedik, and a recent explosion in illegal logging. An increase in the number of households from 14 in 1994 to 20 in 2006 has resulted in an expansion of swiddening and an apparent shortening of the fallow fallow

After 1997, logging shifted from government-licensed concessions to being foreign-backed (Malaysian) and local community-led efforts (Wadley 2006). This illegal logging accelerated until 2005 when it was stopped by provincial and national police. In that short time, the lowland forests surrounding DSNP and forming its buffer zone were heavily cut (Dennis Dennis is a male first name derived from the Greco-Roman name Dionysius meaning "servant of Dionysus", the Thracian god of wine, which is ultimately derived from the Greek Dios (Διος, "of Zeus") combined with Nysos or Nysa (Νυσα), where the  et al. n.d.), as were the community forests adjacent to Sungai Sedik.

The community's last remaining stand of swamp forest (about 10-15 ha) was logged in 2003, though it is likely that this would have eventually been converted to short-fallowed swamp rice fields.
