KOTA SAMARAHAN: Demi mengurangkan risiko serangan buaya, seorang penduduk Kampung Endap mengambil inisiatif sendiri untuk menangkap reptilia itu.
Menurut adik penduduk tersebut, dia bersama abangnya dan seorang lagi rakan mereka cuba menangkap reptilia itu menggunakan umpan ayam.
“Kami baharu sahaja memulakan usaha menangkap buaya ini Sabtu lalu dengan menggunakan umpan ayam yang diikat pada mata kail khas.
“Pada keesokan harinya (Ahad) sekitar jam 9 pagi, kami memeriksa mata kail dan mendapati buaya sepanjang lebih 12 kaki makan umpan yang kami pasang,” katanya ketika ditemui di Kampung Endap di sini semalam.
Malah, dia memberitahu dianggarkan buaya yang berjaya ditangkap itu mempunyai berat lebih 70 kilogram.
Bagaimanapun, buaya berkenaan dibunuh sebelum diserahkan kepada seorang individu lain.
Sementara itu, menurut seorang penduduk berusia 43 tahun yang enggan disiarkan namanya, dia tidak lagi berani turun ke sungai di kampung berkenaan.
“Sejak populasi buaya di sungai di kampung ini bertambah dan bimbang diserang, saya tidak lagi turun menjala.
“Kelibat buaya boleh dilihat setiap hari dan ketika air sungai pasang, buaya-buaya ini bersama anak-anaknya pasti timbul,” dedahnya.
Justeru, dia menyambut baik usaha penduduk kampung menangkap reptilia itu bagi mengurangkan ancaman serangan buaya di situ.

Tallest tree in Danum Valley, Sabah stands at 94.1m.

KUCHING: An ecologist at Carnegie Institute of Science at Stanford University has announced the discovery, via air surveillance, of the tallest tree in Danum Valley, Lahad Datu, Sabah at the ‘Heart of Borneo Conference’ held at The Magallen Sutera Harbour in Sabah last November.
Prof Gregory Asner, who is also the leader of the Carnegie Airborne Observatory (CAO), said the tree belonged to the genus Shorea, although the exact species had yet to be determined.
“The tree is 94.1m tall with a canopy measuring 40.3m in diameter. Asner and his colleagues also found 49 other trees taller than 90m spread all over Sabah,” said Sabah Forest Department in a press statement yesterday.
Impressed with the announcement and the hope that it would highlight the need to protect Borneo’s rainforests, Datuk Sam Mannan, chief conservator of forests, instructed an expedition to be organised this year to locate and determine the tree species.
Recently, a team of researchers and supporting staff from the Forest Research Centre (FRC) of Sabah Forest Department, led by its forest botanist John B. Sugau, together with two guides from Danum Valley Field Centre (DVFC) carried out an expedition from Feb 20 to 24.
Prior to the expedition, the coordinates of the tallest tree, obtained from Asner were plotted on the map of Danum Valley Conservation Area (DVCA).
The map shows that the tree is located about 600m southwest of Ulu Purut Research Station (UPRS) camp.
UPRS is located about 7km east of DVFC and can be reached after four to five hours of trekking through an existing forest trail.
The team commenced the search from UPRS camp about 8am on Feb 22 based on the coordinates logged into the Garmin Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver.
Fifty minutes later, the team found the tree about 150m from the existing Ulu Purut Research Station Camp-Mount Danum Raleigh Camp trail, growing in an old forest gap of Lowland Mixed Dipterocarp Forest on a slope of about 359m above sea level.
Juanis Runcin, a tree climber from Sabah Forest Department, climbed the tree to obtain leaf samples for species identification and to manually measure the height of the tree for comparison.
The tree is botanically identified as Shorea faguetiana F. Heim of the Dipterocarpaceae family or locally called ‘seraya kuning siput’.
The earlier record of the tallest tropical tree in Tawau Hills Park is also of the same species.
The tree’s height was directly measured by the climber using line and extendable pole.
Two height measurements were taken, one from the top to the ground at the upper slope (90.8m) and another from the top to the ground at the lower slope (95.2m).
The CAO measurement of 94.1m is within the range of the measurements. The bole girth is 214cm measured above the buttress.
Apart from the mission to locate and determine the tree species, other observations on the flora and fauna as well as on the presence of any key features were also made around the tallest tree.
Among the interesting findings were the discovery of many endemic Begonia species and two scenic waterfalls.
Other studies such as soil and forest structure were also carried out to obtain more information about the surrounding area.
As the world’s tallest tropical tree, it could become a heritage tree and will attract many local and overseas visitors.
Though it is already in a protected forest reserve, it may need extra protection such as a track from DVFC and checking station to be manned properly.
Among other recommendations that will be forwarded to the management of DVCA are to indicate the tallest tree on the map of DVCA; establish a user-friendly trail from the existing Ulu Purut Research Station-Raleigh Camp Trail to the tallest tree; erect signage and information board on the tallest tree at the appropriate location and more importantly protect the trees from lightning such by installing lightning protection equipment.
The expedition team thanked Datuk Sam Mannan for his support to the expedition, Asner who led to the discovery of the tallest tree and Dr Yap Sau Wai and Jikos Gidiman of Yayasan Sabah for their support and arranging for guides and porters for the expedition.

Marudi: Buaya sepanjang 3.5 meter berjaya ditangkap dalam Op Sang Bedal di Sungai Peking, Long Lama, berhampiran Rumah Panjang Jampang petang tadi.
Operasi membabitkan polis, Jabatan Hutan dan penduduk kampung itu dilancarkan sejak tiga hari lalu susulan serangan buaya yang mengorbankan remaja perempuan berusia 17 tahun di sungai berkenanaan pada 21 Februari lalu.
Ketua Polis Daerah Marudi Deputi Superintendan Gabriel Risut berkata, bagaimanapun, hasil pemeriksaan mendapati buaya berkenaan bukan buaya yang menyerang mangsa.
"Operasi akan diteruskan pada keesokannya," katanya.
Mangsa, Agnes Luang, 17, diserang buaya ketika mandi di sungai berkenaan bersama ibunya pada jam 6.30 petang.
Mayat mangsa ditemui keesokan paginya dengan kesan gigitan di belakang badan.
