A brief survey was conducted in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, to determine the influence of selective logging operations on primate populations. Data were also collected on some birds and squirrels. Selective logging that causes only moderate habitat disturbance does not seem to result in a significant decrease in the densities of several primate species. Whereas some species adjust readily to moderately disturbed habitats, other species may have difficulty in maintaining a breeding population in logged areas. A review of the literature plus our own data suggest that rain forest birds and squirrels seem to be the most disrupted by selective logging of their habitats. While some of the other mammals are directly harmed by selective logging, others are endangered only by the human encroachment that often follows. Suggestions regarding enlightened tropical forestry practices, additional studies of the influence of selective logging, and the establishment of forest preservation areas are also discussed.
在印度尼西亚东加里曼丹进行了一项简短的调查，以确定选择性采伐作业对灵长类动物种群的影响。还收集了一些鸟类和松鼠的数据。仅造成适度栖息地干扰的选择性采伐似乎不会导致几种灵长类物种的密度显著下降。虽然有些物种能很容易地适应适度干扰的栖息地，但其他物种可能难以在采伐区维持繁殖种群。对文献的回顾以及我们自己的数据表明，雨林鸟类和松鼠似乎受其栖息地选择性采伐的影响最大。虽然其他一些哺乳动物受到选择性采伐的直接伤害，但其他一些则仅因随之而来的人类入侵而濒危。还讨论了有关明智的热带林业做法的建议、对选择性采伐影响的更多研究以及森林保护区的建立。
