4. CONCLUSIONFrom the survey and interview with <strong>Forestry</strong> staff of USM FRs, many interestinginsects were sighted at the Kawag Base Camp despite the low diversity during thelight-trapping period. Large fascinating moths, such as the Moon Moth and AtlasMoth were recorded and they are known to be fairly common at the Kawag BaseCamp, attracted to the light at night. These insects can be used to support and promotenature tourism, especially when the Kawag Riverside Lodge is established. Thevarious wildlife mitigation measures implemented at Kawag and throughout USMFRs indirectly contribute significantly to insect diversity and conservation. The DFOof USM FRs and his staff should be commended for their pro-active action andenforcement on the wildlife monitoring programmes.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSWe thank the DFO of USM FRs (Indra P. Sunjoto) and his staff for logistics supportand information during the EIA survey. The survey coordinators, Dr Reuben Nilus,Dr Joan Pereira and Suzana Sabran are acknowledged for the arrangement of thesurvey.
