Abstract
Habitat loss and climate change pose a double jeopardy for many threatened taxa, making the identification of optimal
environmental refuges by integrating bioclimatic models with projected deforestation and oil-palm agriculture
predict suitable habitat for the present day and 1950s. We then projected to the 2020s, 2050s and 2080s in models
projections from four model and emission scenario combinations. For future land cover, we developed spatial
by all models that were also unsuitable for oil palm – a major threat to tropical biodiversity. Our analyses indicate
reduction since the 1950s. Land-cover models predicted further decline of 15–30% by the 2080s. Although habitat
and western regions. Across projections habitat loss due to climate change alone averaged 63% by 2080, but
used, with 900–17 000 km2 outside the current species range. We demonstrate that efforts to halt deforestation could
changes to climate. Protected refuge areas could therefore become increasingly important for ongoing translocation
changes expected this century.
