Abstract:
There was no data yet on bird diversity in natural vegetation of Blok I Liang
Anggang Protection Forest Area (KHLLA-1) located in Banjarbaru City, Indonesia. This study
aimed to analyze the diversity of diurnal birds in natural vegetation of KHLLA-1. Bird data
(species, number of individuals, groupings) were collected through transect method between
06.30-09:00 and 16:00-18:30. for three repetitions or three different days. The status of bird
protection was determined based on the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No.
106 of 2018. The diversity index was counted according to the Shannon Wienner index. Thirty seven species of birds found. Most (81.08%) are birds categorized as non waterbirds and the
rest are waterbirds. Most (91.89%) are unprotected birds and the rest are protected birds. The
index of diversity of bird species in natural vegetation in KHLLA-1 was 3.09. However, from this
index not many things can be concluded, except the value is smaller than 3.61, when the
number of individuals of each species is the same.
