The Innoprise-IKEA (INIKEA) Forest Rehabilitation Project in Kalabakan Forest Reserve, Sabah, was established to rehabilitate degraded forest affected by conventional logging and forest fires that occurred during an El-Nino event (1982–1983). The present study aimed to investigate the responses of ground-dwelling mammals and birds to the different rehabilitation practices in INIKEA: gap-cluster planting, line planting and liberation, where enrichment planting applied in both gap-cluster and line planting. A total of 74 camera traps were deployed at random locations across reforested INIKEA plots, including plots in control areas comprising naturally regenerated forest. A total of 6534 independent photographs of medium-to-large vertebrates from 7266 camera-trap nights representing 33 species from 14 families and 7 orders were obtained. Among the detected vertebrate species, 2 are listed as Critically endangered, 5 as Endangered, 8 as Vulnerable and 6 as Near threatened on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Mousedeer was the most frequently photocaptured species, followed by muntjac, bearded pig, sambar deer, pig-tailed macaque and crested fireback. The present study demonstrates that the rehabilitation methods applied in INIKEA have aided forest recovery, providing habitat for the ground-dwelling mammals and birds in Sabah. General forest structure, species richness and species composition did not significantly differ between the areas subjected to rehabilitation treatment and the control area. The results suggest that the liberation method should be abandoned to ensure a variety of food resources for animal species. Provided major forest components remain after disturbance, disturbed forest areas should be left to undergo natural recovery.

沙巴州卡拉巴坎森林保护区的Innoprise-IKEA（INIKEA）森林修复项目的建立是为了修复受到El-Nino事件（1982-1983）期间发生的常规伐木和森林火灾影响的退化森林。本研究旨在调查居住在地面的哺乳动物和鸟类对INIKEA的不同恢复做法的反应：缝隙丛种植，线种植和解放，其中在缝隙丛和线种植中都应用了丰富的种植。在已重新造林的INIKEA地块的随机位置上总共部署了74个摄影机陷阱，包括在包含自然再生森林的控制区中的地块。共获得了7534个相机陷阱之夜的6534张独立的大中型脊椎动物照片，这些照片代表了14个科的7个物种的33个物种。在国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）濒危物种红色名录中，被发现的脊椎动物物种中有2种被列为极度濒危，5种列为濒危，8种为易危，6种列为近危。捕鼠器是最常被捕光的物种，其次是蒙塔克犬，大胡子猪，水鹿鹿，猪尾猕猴和冠fire。本研究表明，在INIKEA中采用的恢复方法有助于森林恢复，为沙巴的地下哺乳动物和鸟类提供了栖息地。进行恢复处理的区域和控制区域之间的总体森林结构，物种丰富度和物种组成没有显着差异。结果表明，应放弃解放方法，以确保动物物种拥有多种食物资源。
