Threatened species of Catopuma badia
Other Names:
Threatened species of Bay catThreatened species of Bornean Bay cat
Nature:
The lack of knowledge is a problem in identifying threats to Catopuma badia. Probably deforestation is its principle threat. There is a demand for its collection or skin due to its rarity.
Incidence:
The bay cat has long been considered rare and possibly endangered. Trappers who captured a bay cat in 1992 were apparently aware of its rarity and value to animal dealers.
Catopuma badia is considered "Vulnerable" by the IUCN. CITES lists the species as "Appendix 2".
