The findings were made using an automated, non-invasive camera system installed across representative forest habitats within the heritage site.
Among the species identified were eight notable mammals, including pig-tailed macaques, wild boar, barking deer, masked palm civets and silver-cheeked squirrels, alongside 19 bird species and other ground-dwelling wildlife.
The site’s management board said the results show the area continues to provide suitable habitat for a wide range of forest species.
Survey data suggest the forest retains a relatively intact ecosystem, with wildlife recorded across multiple trophic levels, from herbivores and omnivores to medium-sized carnivores and primates.
“The coexistence of these species points to stable food chains and ecological processes, indicating good habitat quality and the relative integrity of the forest ecosystem in the My Son Protected Area,” a site representative said.
