= Site characteristics =

The Ulu Segama-Malua (USM) landscape is located in the Malaysian state of Sabah between 116°28′E and 4°14′N and comprises approximately 240,000 hectares of lowland forest (WWF 2020, Ancrenaz et al. 2010). The site sustains one of the largest orangutan populations in Sabah (WWF 2020). To the north of USM, Bukit Piton Forest Reserve (12,000 ha) is found, which is an area of high conservation value (WWF 2020). The USM landscape consists of a variably steep terrain, with many hills and ridges, although Malua's topography is predominantly flat and low (Ancrenaz et al. 2010).

Surveys in 2002 and 2007 show that orangutan populations can be maintained in forests that have been lightly and sustainably logged (Ancrenaz et al. 2010). However, in heavily logged forests there was a decline in orangutan numbers (Ancrenaz et al. 2010). Nest distribution in the forests of Ulu Segama Malua indicates that orangutans leave areas undergoing active disturbance, reaching forests that are located up to 500 meters above sea level (Ancrenaz et al. 2010).

[[Threats]]
= Conservation activities =

Conventional logging practices and heavy extraction rates, coupled with high road densities and indiscriminate felling, has resulted in a mosaic of highly degraded forests bordering hilltops and isolated patches of moderate habitat; in other words, habitat in the USM landscape is very heterogeneous (Ancrenaz et al. 2010). Multiple logging cycles that began in 1957 and ended in 2007 led to drastic alterations in the original forest structure and integrity (Ancrenaz et al. 2010). Forest fragmentation has forced the orangutan population to spread into less suitable habitats (Ancrenaz et al. 2010).
