<![CDATA[As one of the urban green spaces, campuses play a crucial role in preserving urban biodiversity. This study analyzes the diversity and distribution of avifauna, within the UNM Parangtambung Campus as a form of higher education’s contribution to mitigating the triple planetary crisis through urban biodiversity conservation. Observations were conducted at ten points using the direct count method, with Shannon–Wiener and Simpson indices applied to assess diversity and dominance. A Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) analysis was employed to examine the relationship between vegetation cover and bird distribution. The results revealed 21 bird species (860 individuals) and 22 plant species (148 individuals). The diversity index (H′ = 2.46) indicates a moderate level of diversity, with low dominance (D = 0.24). The bird distribution pattern was clumped, concentrated in areas with dense vegetation and low human activity. Vegetation had a significant influence on bird abundance. These findings highlight that the UNM campus landscape has the potential to serve as a micro-conservation area and a green campus model for maintaining ecological balance within urban environments.]]>
