Abstract:
The avifauna of Upper Rejang, Sarawak, Malaysia was surveyed in June and November/December 1994. The surveys were conducted bya team of workers from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks, Peninsular Malaysia (Perhilitan) and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). The purpose of the survey was to determine the distribution, species richness and density of the avifauna in the area. A total of 175 species representing 39 families were recorded. Of 175 species, 163 were recorded in secondary forest and 55 species in primary forest. The density of birds per hectare from line transects in the primary and secondary forests were estimated at 3 birds/ha and 4 birds/ha, respectively. The distribution and protection status of birds in the surveyedarea are also reported.
