The forests of Southeast Asia mast fruit every 2-9 years, and these
`masts’ are one of the natural wonders of the world. Most of the species
of large trees only fruit during these events, and their successful
reproduction depends on fruiting with all the other species. Yet
there is great concern that these masting cycles are breaking
down.

We have very little information on the real pattern of mast
fruiting in the area, even though there are many biologists and
amateur naturalists spending time in the forest. This mailing list offers a forum to solicit and record observations about masting
events in Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia.
