An Assessment of Potential Habitat Corridors and Landscape Ecology for Long-Tailed Macaques (Macaca Fascicularis) on Bali, Indonesia
… was studied. A Geographical Information System (GIS) database was developed and analyzed to determine if forest corridors exist on Bali that may provide habitat connectivity between 42 Balinese long-tailed macaque troops. The GIS database was also analyzed to determine if the landscape type that …
