Abstract

Sumedang was one of the districts in West Java Province that consisted of 26 sub-districts, 7 neighborhoods, and 270 villages. Bangbayang Village, located in the Situraja neighborhood, was one of the villages with ecotourism potential that had not been fully developed. The topography of the village, characterized by hills, had its own charm, and its biodiversity had not been widely explored. One aspect of this biodiversity that had potential for ecotourism was the diversity of bird species found there. Therefore, the research aimed to explore the potential and diversity of birds in Bangbayang Village, Sumedang, in the context of developing birdwatching science and ecotourism. The research was conducted in January 2023. Birds were observed using the point count method, and the data were analyzed for conservation status, the Shannon-Wiener species diversity index, the Margalef richness index, bird species evenness, and the Simpson dominance index. The results identified 35 species of birds from 20 families, 12 of which were endemic to Indonesia. Among them, two species were classified as NT (Near Threatened), two as EN (Endangered), six were included in the CITES Appendix II category, and eight species were protected under Ministerial Regulation P.106 of 2018. The diversity index, species richness index, and evenness index values were high, recorded at 3.343, 7.575, and 0.940, respectively, while no bird species dominated, with a dominance index value of 0.043. Based on their status, nine species were identified as having potential for ecotourism attraction: the black eagle, javan hawk-eagle, crested serpent-eagle, oriental honey-buzzard, flame-fronted barbet, black-banded barbet, bar-winged prinia, black-thighed falconet, and java sparrow.

Abstract

Mount Sanggabuana with an altitude of 1,074 above the sea level has an exciting and high biodiversity. Still, currently, its status is being sought to officially become a National Park and not many research reports have been found that discuss birds in the area. The purpose of this paper is to determine the diversity of bird species in the Sanggabuana Area, Cintalaksana, Tegalwaru, Karawang, West Java. The research was conducted on 15-17 August 2024 using the point count method. Based on the results of observations, 26 bird species from 16 families were recorded and there are five bird species protected according to the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 20 of 2018, one of which is the bido snake eagle (Spilornis cheela) from the Accipitridae. The diversity of bird species in the Sanggabuana area is classified in the medium category, details of the H' value in the primary forest (Jalur Hutan) of 2.54 and in the secondary forest (Jalur Curug) of 2.55. The dominating bird species in the primary forest habitat is Takur tohtor (Psilopogon armillaris) while in the secondary forest is Cucak kutilang (Pycnonotus aurigaster).
