“…Contraction of the area occupied (Riley 2002 a ) continues, with further loss noted between surveys carried out in 2009 (Rosyadi 2009), 2014 (Bashari & Fauzen 2014), and the present survey in 2015. The only area currently close to suitable for establishing an additional population of the flycatcher, whistler, and bulbul is a small patch of disturbed forest on Gunung Awu, but this would require additional reforestation of currently unsuitable areas as well as restoring the tiny areas of low to medium suitability, and effort in this area would be permanently vulnerable to eruptions, which occur approximately every 20 years (Bani et al 2020).…”

Remnant forests on the small Wallacean island of Sangihe north of Sulawesi hold the entire ranges of more critically endangered (CR) bird species than any other comparable area on earth. We develop habitat association models for three of these CR species to identify critical habitat features as well as areas where habitat falls slightly short of suitability, and to determine whether another area of forest away from the largest block might be suitable as an insurance site for a translocated population. Hopes for all three species appear almost totally pinned to forest within a 13 km 2 area of the Sahendaruman crater, with virtually no near-suitable habitat away from this site. There is, however, little overlap in habitats between one CR species and the other two: cerulean flycatcher Eutrichomyias rowleyi is associated with mature streamside forest with full canopy cover, lianas, and mid-level growth, while Sangihe whistler Coracornis sanghirensis and Sangihe golden bulbul Hypsipetes platenae are restricted to ridgetop forest with full canopy cover and large trees. We pinpoint small areas (around 5 km 2 ) of forest in the crater that are already suitable or can be made so with habitat management, and these are absolute priorities for conservation action. We show how habitat characteristics identified within models might be enhanced, and how features, especially certain tree species, can be used as indicators of future habitat improvement.
