Abstract:
In 1994, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources released a Red List of Threatened Animals Database entitled “Birds to Watch 2”. It included a list of 84 Malaysian bird species that were considered likely to face extinction. Since then, in large part due to the availability of more detailed and current information, these Red Data Book lists have been refined to more accurately reflect the true status of many Malaysian birds. This, the first of a two-part paper, examines the evolution of the current Malaysian list which identifies the species considered to be most under threat. The second part will take a closer look at the individual species on those lists and evaluate their current distribution and status within Sarawak.
