Toxic water and a sickening stench: How pig-rearing has turned this Spanish town into a dungheap.
Residents are too afraid to drink water from their local wells or open their windows for fear of the stench of nearby livestock operations.
In a legal first, some residents have launched court action against national and regional authorities over intensive pig-rearing for what they claim is a breach of national and European law.

Sunda Clouded Leopard Neofelis diardi
Sunda Clouded Leopard Neofelis diardi
IUCN Status: Vulnerable
Location: Brunei Darussalam Indonesia (Sumatera, Kalimantan) Malaysia (Sarawak, Sabah)
Gliding through the rainforest canopy like a phantom predator, the Sunda moves with unmatched grace, making them one of the least understood big cats in the world. Their spectacularly patterned coat, the longest canines relative to skull size of any feline, and astonishing agility in trees set these apart as a truly unique species. Yet, despite these remarkable adaptations, these mysterious are now rapidly vanishing from the wild due to human-related threats.
Massive infrastructure projects, , and poaching for the illegal wildlife trade have decimated their populations. Once thought to be a subspecies of the mainland clouded leopard, genetic studies in 2006 confirmed that they are a distinct species, found only in and . Today, they are among the most threatened felines in the world, teetering on the edge of an uncertain future. Take action for them every time you shop and

Share to BlueSky Share to TwitterAppearance & Behaviour
Sunda are expert climbers, possessing a long, thick tail (equal to their body length) for balance, rotating ankle joints that allow them to descend trees headfirst, and razor-sharp retractable claws for gripping bark. Their bodies are smaller and more compact than mainland clouded , making them highly agile ambush predators.
They are solitary and nocturnal, moving silently through the forest to hunt primates, deer, and birds. Unlike , they purr rather than roar and rely on their extraordinarily developed senses to detect prey. Though they spend time on the forest floor, they are one of the capable of jumping several metres between branches.
Threats
1. Deforestation for infrastructure, timber and palm oil
2. Poaching and the Illegal Wildlife Trade
Highly valued for their skins, bones, and meat, they are frequently trapped in snares. Between 2011 and 2019, at least 30 individuals were , with live animals smuggled internationally. The rise in commercial wildlife markets has put additional pressure on an already declining population.
3. Loss of Prey and Ecosystem Disruptions
Overhunting of , , and is drastically reducing their food supply. A 2024 study revealed that mesopredator releasewhere smaller carnivores like Sunda Leopard Cats increase in numbermay be negatively impacting the number of clouded leopards.
4. Human-Wildlife Conflict and Retaliatory Killings
Farmers kill clouded leopards when they prey on livestock. With deforestation pushing them into human settlements, conflict is increasing.
5. Climate Change and Forest Fires
Longer dry seasons and extreme weather are making rainforest habitats unstable and food sources scarcer. Fires, caused by land clearing for palm oil plantations, are destroying crucial remaining habitat.
Geographic Range
The Sunda Clouded Leopard (Neofelis diardi) is found only on the Southeast Asian islands of and . Known locally as rimau-dahan (tree tiger in Malay) and entulu in , these elusive big cats thrive in dense rainforests, where their exceptional climbing skills and camouflage allow them to hunt undetected. They are particularly dependent on lowland primary forests but have been increasingly pushed into montane and secondary forests due to rampant deforestation.
Key Habitats:
Diet
Sunda Clouded Leopards are apex rainforest predators, feeding on:
Their hunting strategy involves stealth and ambush, using their powerful jaws and canines to deliver a fatal bite to the neck. As their habitat shrinks, they are increasingly forced into human settlements, where they are often shot in retaliation.
Mating and Reproduction
Little is known about their breeding behaviour, however:
FAQs
Are Sunda Clouded Leopards dangerous to humans
No. Sunda Clouded Leopards are extremely elusive and prefer to avoid human contact. They only venture into human areas when forced by habitat loss.
How are they different from mainland Clouded Leopards
Sunda Clouded Leopards (Neofelis diardi) were originally thought to be the same species as the Indochinese Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), but genetic studies in 2006 confirmed that they are separate species.
Genetic divergence: The two species diverged between 2 million and 900,000 years ago, likely when rising sea levels isolated Borneo and Sumatra from the mainland.
Physical differences: Sunda Clouded Leopards have darker fur, smaller cloud markings, and a more robust build, whereas Indochinese Clouded Leopards are lighter in colour with larger, more defined markings.
Habitat preferences: Sunda Clouded Leopards rarely descend to the forest floor, whereas Indochinese Clouded Leopards hunt both in trees and on the ground.
Why are they called Tree Tigers
The Malay name rimau-dahan means tree tiger, as they are among the best tree-climbing predators in the world. This name comes from their incredible climbing skills and their resemblance to big cats like tigers. Their large paws, long tail, and flexible ankles make them exceptional tree climbers, often leaping between branches or ambushing prey from above.
Are Sunda Clouded Leopards extinct anywhere
They were once found on Java, but are now extinct there.
How many Sunda Clouded Leopards are left
Estimates suggest there are fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, but deforestation and poaching are causing rapid declines. Exact numbers are hard to determine due to their elusive nature.
