| dc.description.abstract | Biodiversity Assessment Survey for avifauna in Poko hydropower project area in Pinrang
Regency of South Sulawesi Province and Mamasa Regency of West Sulawesi Province is
conducted to collect and analyze data on species abundance, diversity, and community structure
as well as conservation status category. Based on the survey result, the total number of bird
species identified in the study area are 77 species.
Nine station for bird observation was done to analyze, the diversity of birds has correlation with
habitat types, the avifauna survey is designed in different types of habitat found in the study area.

Based on feeding guid analysis, the bird community observed at the study area is dominated by
insectivorous birds. The dominat of bird habitat types is forested area. The location (bird
observation station) will much influence by the poko hydropower project activities is area
surround station 5, station 6, station 7, and station 8. | id |
