| dc.description.abstract | The diversity of bird species can be used as a measure of environmental stability. Information and
data regarding bird species and their diversity in the fire break/green belt (fire break) area does not
yet exist. Therefore it is interesting to research. Bird inventory was carried out using a combination
of the transect/lane method and the IPA method. A total of 19 natural peat forest green belts in
Pelalawan PT RAPP estate were observed for bird species. The length of each observation route
is approximately 200 m. The calculation of bird species and the number of individuals is based on
direct observation. Based on observations of the richness of bird species in the 19 green/fire break
routes in the Pelalawan estate, 76 species of birds were found. Among the bird species that have
been identified as using the green route/corridor, it is important to pay attention to the hornbill
group. Four types of hornbills were found that use the green/fire break route, namely the black
hornbill (Anthracoceros malayanus), the Wreathed hornbill (Anorrhinus galeritus), the bushy
crested hornbill (Aceros corrugatus) and the rhinoceros hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros). In general,
the function of the green belt/fire break is useful as a bird habitat, even though the condition of the
peat forest is not good. The green belt/fire break still needs to be maintained in the PT RAPP
Pelelawan estate area. | id |
