Abstract

The Flores hawk-eagle (Nisaetus floris) is an endangered raptor endemic to the Lesser Sunda region and remains understudied, hindering effective conservation planning. This study investigates the species’ home range, habitat use, and threats at two active nesting sites in Ende District, Flores Island. Home range estimates varied between 8.439 km² (using minimum convex polygon/MCP) and 23.38 km² (using hypothetical-circular home range/HCHR) in Wolojita and from 6.385 km² (MCP) to 23.38 km² (HCHR) in Mbuli. Intensive use areas were relatively small, measuring 0.449 km² in Wolojita and 0.494 km² in Mbuli. Habitat use analysis revealed that in Wolojita, the eagles favored secondary forests, settlements, and shrublands, while in Mbuli, they primarily utilized grasslands and secondary forests, actively avoiding agricultural lands, rice fields, and areas near sulfuric rivers. Secondary forests appear to provide essential resources such as nesting trees and prey availability. However, competition with other raptor species, coupled with anthropogenic threats such as habitat degradation, land-use change, and persecution driven by livestock predation, poses significant risks to the species’ survival. Conservation should focus on preserving secondary forests, promoting sustainable land-use practices, and mitigating human-wildlife conflict to ensure the long-term viability of the population.

Abstract

Kancilan Flores (Pachycephala nudigula nudigula) is an iconic bird of Kelimutu National Park. The bird has a unique characteristic with the ability to make a wide variety of song. The local people call this bird 'Garugiwa' and also 'burung arwah' or 'spirit bird' because it is small and hard to spot but has a loud chirp. Some literature mentions this bird with different scientific names. This study aimed to identify this bird to rectify this misnaming scientifically and to observes Kancilan Flores behavior, habitat, and population. Kancilan Flores is an attractive fauna for tourists. Therefore, this study also recommended potential birdwatching locations for Kancilan Flores. This study used a transect line and direct observation methods. The results showed that the estimated population size of Kancilan Flores in the Kelimutu National Park was 1,667 individuals with a population size range of 1,245–2,089 individuals. The population density of Kancilan Flores was estimated at 0.53 individuals per hectare. The Kancilan Flores is most commonly found at an altitude of 1,500–1,600 m a.s.l. Recommended areas as bird watching locations for Kancilan Flores, namely the Edelweiss Garden, Perekonde, the lower Arboretum, and the Kancilan Flores middle Arboretum. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the population of Kancilan Flores by strictly prohibiting hunting and destruction of their habitat.
