Abstract. Sudaryanto FX, Hardini J, Kalih LATTWS, Asrori MM, Suana IW. 2019. Bird communities and vegetation composition in Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 3676-3683. A study on bird community and vegetation composition in Nusa Penida was carried out to determine its diversity, conservation status, and habitat as an effort to conserve and develop birdwatching ecotourism in Nusa Penida. The study was conducted in Tembeling forest and Ped agroforestry. By using the point count method, we found 80 species of birds: 70 species in Tembeling forest and 79 species in Ped agroforestry. Fourteen species of birds are protected by Indonesian law. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, four species are Critically Endangered and one species is classified as Near Threatened. We also found eight species of migratory birds. Diversity of birds in Nusa Penida was high. Individuals of each bird species was spread evenly, except Hirundo rustica, Hirundo tahitica and Streptopelia chinensis were dominant. Twenty-five species of trees were found in Tembeling, while in Ped were found 22 species. These vegetations were provided birds with good resources for foraging, resting, and nesting.

Evaluation on Bali Mynah (Leucopsar rothschildi Stresemann, 1912) population, result of release process 1998-2015 in Bali Barat National Park, Indonesia

“…On the other hand, the bunut tree (Ficus glabela) is the most beneficial species for the Bali Mynah as a place to perch, forage for food, and nesting sites (Riany and Aunurochim 2013). According to Hernowo (2017) in developing the BM habitat, the habitat must have sufficient components of feed, water, breeding site, shelter, and cover to avoid predators Leucopsar rothschildi, Acridotheres tertius, and Acridotheres javanicus often use Ficus glabella for food, resting, and nesting in Nusa Penida, Bali (Sudaryanto et al 2019).…”

Indeks Ekologi dan Status Konservasi Jenis Burung (Avifauna) di Desa Gunaksa dan Beberapa Wilayah di Sekitarnya di Kabupaten Klungkung, Bali

“…Jenis burung yang dilindungi menurut PERMEN LHK Republik Indonesia No. P.106/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/12/2018 dan termasuk dalam kategori Least Concern dalam IUCN juga sempat ditemukan di kawasan Ped Agroforestry, Nusa Penida yaitu Gracula religiosa (Sudaryanto et al, 2019). Peneliti menduga temuan burung tersebut di lapang dapat dikarenakan persebaran alaminya yang hanya mencapai Pulau Bali ataupun dapat terlepas dari kandang pemiliknya (Mason, 2011).…”

“…Nilai Indeks Ekologi untuk jenis burung (avifauna) di wilayah Desa Gunaksa dan sekitarnya tergolong tinggi baik pada Indeks Keanekaragaman, Kekayaan, dan Kemerataan. Pemanfaatan sumberdaya alam dan pengadaan Focus Group Discussion (FGD) juga dapat dilakukan kepada masyarakat adat, pemerintah, akademisi, dan praktisi burung untuk dapat membangun kesadaran konservasi di wilayah ini (Sudaryanto et al, 2019).…”

Inventarisasi Jenis Avifauna di Taman Wisata Alam Menipo Kabupaten Kupang

“…Keanekaragaman vegetasi pada ekosistem berpengaruh terhadap keanekaragaman jenis burung Secara umum, kelimpahan dan keanekaragaman burung berhubungan langsung dengan kondisi habitat mereka (Sudaryanto et al, 2019). Berdasarkan hal tersebut ketiga ekosistem yang ada di Taman Wisata Alam Menipo ini dapat mendukung kehidupan burung untuk mencari makan, beristirahat, bersarang dan lainnya.…”
