Overview
Unsustainable hunting practices can alter population dynamics, driving biodiversity declines, which leads to ‘empty forests’. Understanding hunting behaviour, including motivations for hunting and relationships with market drivers, and access to hunting grounds are important to develop affirmative policies to stem biodiversity loss. Here, we investigate community hunting behaviour and motivations in the context of road network expansion. We focus on the Temburong District, Brunei Darussalam, which retains large tracts of undegraded rainforests. Cultural hunting has a long history in the region, which few studies have investigated. In 2022, following preliminary research that suggested widespread hunting across Brunei's forests, we conducted household surveys ( n  = 32) and in‐depth interviews ( n  = 3) with Temburong residents from multiple ethnic backgrounds to characterise hunting behaviours. We contextualised these surveys and interviews within the recently completed construction of Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien (SOAS) Bridge, which we expected would increase human mobility and thus hunting access. Applying a thematic analysis, we characterised hunting in Temburong. Hunting motivations varied greatly, but the primary motivation for hunting was non‐market wild meat consumption, with target species including bearded pig, muntjac and mousedeer, which were primarily snare caught. Hunting had a high level of cultural importance in the region. While hunting is still present in the region, its cultural importance appears to be waning. Our data also present perceptions that the SOAS Bridge may be facilitating access to Temburong's forests for novel hunters, potentially increasing hunting pressure. Policy implications . In Southeast Asia, narratives around hunting often centre on overexploitation and trade. We show that in Brunei, hunting has cultural importance, particularly among Indigenous communities, requiring more careful planning for mitigation strategies aiming to conserve biodiversity to avoid marginalisation of vulnerable communities. Road network expansion may attract new and distant hunters, while complex factors linked to generational changes may reduce hunting pressure in Brunei's forests. Our research thus highlights that local, context‐specific research is required for effective decision‐making surrounding both hunting and development.

Amalan memburu yang tidak lestari boleh mengubah dinamik populasi, sekali gus menyebabkan kemerosotan biodiversiti yang membawa kepada ‘hutan kosong’. Memahami tingkah laku memburu, termasuk motivasi untuk memburu serta hubung kait dengan pemacu pasaran dan akses kepada kawasan pemburuan adalah penting untuk merangka dasar yang berkesan bagi membendung kehilangan biodiversiti. Di sini, kami menyelidik tingkah laku dan motivasi komuniti dalam memburu dalam konteks peluasan rangkaian jalan raya. Tumpuan utaman kami adalah Daerah Temburong, Brunei Darussalam, yang masih mengekalkan kawasan hutan asli yang luas dan tidak terjejas. Aktiviti memburu, secara budaya mempunyai sejarah yang panjang di rantau ini, namun hanya sedikit kajian yang telah dijalankan mengenainya. Pada tahun 2022, susulan penyelidikan awal yang mencadangkan aktiviti memburu meluas di hutan‐hutan Brunei, kami telah menjalankan tinjauan isi rumah ( n  = 32) dan temu bual mendalam ( n  = 3) bersama penduduk Temburong daripada pelbagai latar belakang etnik, bagi mencirikan tingkah laku memburu. Kami mengaitkan tinjauan dan temu bual ini dengan pembinaan Jambatan Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien (SOAS) yang baru sahaja siap, yang dijangka akan meningkatkan mobiliti manusia dan seterusnya akses kepada aktiviti memburu. Dengan menggunakan analisis tematik, kami mencirikan aktiviti memburu di Temburong. Motivasi untuk memburu adalah sangat pelbagai, namun dorongan utama adalah untuk penggunaan daging haiwan liar bagi keperluan bukan pasaran, dengan spesies sasaran termasuk babi berjanggut, kijang, dan pelanduk, yang kebanyakannya ditangkap menggunakan jerat. Aktiviti memburu mempunyai kepentingan budaya yang tinggi di rantau ini. Walaupun aktiviti memburu masih berlaku, kepentingan budayanya kelihatan semakin berkurangan. Data kami juga menunjukkan tanggapan bahawa Jambatan SOAS mungkin memudahkan akses ke hutan Temburong bagi pemburu baharu, yang berpotensi meningkatkan tekanan terhadap sumber haiwan buruan. Implikasi dasar . Di Asia Tenggara, naratif berkaitan pemburuan sering tertumpu kepada eksploitasi berlebihan dan perdagangan. Kami menunjukkan bahawa di Brunei, pemburuan mempunyai kepentingan budaya, terutamanya dalam kalangan komuniti peribumi, yang memerlukan perancangan lebih teliti bagi strategi mitigasi untuk memelihara biodiversiti tanpa meminggirkan komuniti yang terdedah. Peluasan rangkaian jalan raya mungkin menarik pemburu baharu dari kawasan yang lebih jauh, manakala faktor‐faktor kompleks berkaitan perubahan generasi mungkin mengurangkan tekanan pemburuan di hutan‐hutan Brunei. Oleh itu, penyelidikan yang bersifat setempat dan khusus kepada konteks tempatan amat penting untuk membuat keputusan yang berkesan berkaitan pemburuan dan pembangunan.
