Thailand Highlights 14Th to 26Th November 2019 (13 Days)
Thailand Highlights 14th to 26th November 2019 (13 days) Trip Report Siamese Fireback by Forrest Rowland Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Forrest Rowland Trip Report – RBL Thailand - Highlights 2019 2 Tour Summary Thailand has been known as a top tourist destination for quite some time. Foreigners and Ex-pats flock there for the beautiful scenery, great infrastructure, and delicious cuisine among other cultural aspects. For birders, it has recently caught up to big names like Borneo and Malaysia, in terms of respect for the avian delights it holds for visitors. Our twelve-day Highlights Tour to Thailand set out to sample a bit of the best of every major habitat type in the country, with a slight focus on the lush montane forests that hold most of the country’s specialty bird species. The tour began in Bangkok, a bustling metropolis of winding narrow roads, flyovers, towering apartment buildings, and seemingly endless people. Despite the density and throng of humanity, many of the participants on the tour were able to enjoy a Crested Goshawk flight by Forrest Rowland lovely day’s visit to the Grand Palace and historic center of Bangkok, including a fun boat ride passing by several temples. A few early arrivals also had time to bird some of the urban park settings, even picking up a species or two we did not see on the Main Tour. For most, the tour began in earnest on November 15th, with our day tour of the salt pans, mudflats, wetlands, and mangroves of the famed Pak Thale Shore bird Project, and Laem Phak Bia mangroves. -

Birds play a pivotal role in the ecosystem, but in disturbed areas their roles may be limited due to the changes of their natural habitats. This paper studies the birds' habitats in Simalungun and Asahan Districts, North Sumatra. The study was conducted in four habitats: natural forest, rubber agroforests, rubber monoculture plantations and emplacement areas. The birds were observed using descriptive survey methods by implementing a quick biodiversity survey, data were collected along one km transect. The results showed that in total, 142 species of birds from 42 families were observed in the four habitats. Natural forests had the highest diversity of bird species, followed by rubber agroforests, emplacement areas and rubber plantations, with a Shannon-Wiener index of 3.8, 3.6, 3.0 and 2.9, respectively. Regarding the IUCN red list species, 12 bird species of near- threatened status and 2 species of vulnerable status were recorded. Based on CITES categories, one species was listed in the Appendix I, 12 species were classified in Appendix II and 26 bird species were protected under Indonesian regulations. -

This is the first major study of the lowland bird fauna of mainland Riau in this century. A total of 193 bird species was recorded, including 18 species listed as globally threatened. Extensions to known ranges were made for 26 species of which 25 were new to Riau and 3 to Jambi- Data were also provided on 5 species for which there were no recent Sumatran records: Cresttess Fireback Pheasant Lophura erythropthalma. Garnet Pitta Pitta granatina, Striped Wren-babbler Kenopia striata. Large Wren-babbler Napothera macrodactyla and Chestnut- capped Thrush Zoothera interpres. In addition, information on breeding was provided for 51 species, of which 22 species were not previously documented to breed in Sumatra. Introduction Between 26 July and 30 September 1991, under the auspices of the Norwegian Indonesian Rain Forest and Resource Management Project, the authors surveyed the avifauna of Bukit Tiga Puluh, centered on 1°00'S, 102°30'E, in the lowlands of Riau Province, eastern Sumatra. Observations were made in primary forest, logged forests, 'jungle rubber', and plantations, concentrating on six study sites. From a review of Marle & Voous (1988) it is apparent that few ornithological surveys have been conducted in Riau Province. -
Second South-East Asian Songbird Crisis Summit
S H O R T R E P O R T SECOND SOUTH-EAST ASIAN SONGBIRD CRISIS SUMMIT outh-east Asia is a hotspot for illegal and unsustainable trade in songbirds, leading to serious declines in many species. The vast majority of the songbirds in trade are taken from the wild, sought after for their attractive song, colourful plumage and their increasing rarity. Unfortunately, Ssongbird conservation has not received the attention it deserves, and as a result, many species have slipped perilously close to extinction, all but unnoticed.

This project has sought to document the real and anticipated impacts of decentralisation on forest management, forest community livelihoods, and economic development at the provincial and district levels. During the initial phase of this research, CIFOR conducted case studies in nine kabupaten or districts, in four provinces: Riau, East Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, and West Kalimantan. These case studies were carried out in 2000, with follow up visits to some districts conducted in early 2001. As such, the findings presented in the present report and the companion case studies reflect the conditions and processes that existed in the study districts during the initial phase of Indonesia’s decentralisation process. The following reports have been produced by this project. The first of these represents a synthesis of the major findings from the nine case studies, accompanied by a historical analysis of forest administration and forestry sector development in Indonesia, and a discussion of the origins and legal-regulatory basis of the nation’s ongoing decentralisation process. -

St. John 13, Matthew J. Struebig 7 and Kerrie A. Wilson 2 ABSTRACT. Participatory approaches to forest management have been promoted as a means of returning rights historically removed, and as a way of managing natural resources sustainably, fairly, and to improve livelihoods in communities. Top-down models of community-based forest management take the perspective that if people feel ownership over, have a voice in decisions about, and can benefit from surrounding ecosystems, then they will be motivated to maintain and protect them. However, even participatory approaches, such as community-based forest management, may not always result in clear positive outcomes for involvement in decision making and forest conservation. We examine whether an Indonesian government initiative for community-based forest management was positively associated with community members' participation in local decision making and support for conservation and sustainable management of forest resources, in the context of state-owned lands. -

FIELD GUIDES BIRDING TOURS Borneo
Field Guides Tour Report Borneo Jun 7, 2012 to Jun 24, 2012 Rose Ann Rowlett & Hamit Suban Sunrise over craggy Mt. Kinabalu, as seen from our doorsteps at the Hill Lodge inside Kinabalu Park. (Photo by tour participant Fred Dalbey) It was another fabulous tour to Borneo! As always, it was different from all previous tours in many of the specifics, from the weather (windy and rainy in the highlands this trip; surprisingly dry in the lowlands) to some of the birds and other critters observed. But there is great overlap among many of the spectacular basics from one tour to the next. And we had another wonderful sampling of the best of Borneo. In our efforts to overcome jetlag, we all arrived early and managed to get in a little extra birding pre-tour. Most folks went to Manukan Island for a morning, and we all went to the KK Wetland the day before the tour started, seeing a handful of species we wouldn't see on our official tour route. I've included those species in the list below since most folks in the group were experiencing Asian birding for the first time. Our most exciting encounter was with a pair of White-breasted Waterhens duetting as we watched at close range. We began officially in the Crocker Range, where we saw a number of highland endemics, from the usually very tough Whitehead's Spiderhunter to Mountain and Bornean barbets, Bornean Bulbul, Bornean Leafbird, and endearing flocks of Chestnut-crested Yuhinas, not to mention the non-endemic but dramatic Long-tailed Broadbill. -

This work is dedicated to my national park for sustainable management ABSTRACT Gunung Palung National Park (GPNP) represents the biodiversity of tropical forests remaining in Kalimantan Island. However, the natural ecosystem has been threatened by human impact. This study aimed to identify the deforestation process inside the national park by imagery analysis of Landsat TM (1992), Landsat ETM+ (1999), and SPOT5 (2004), and to find the driving forces behind agricultural expansions by interviews to randomly selected households living nearby GPNP. Supervised classification method combined with visual interpretation and field-based analysis was applied to map land cover changes and specify the human impact.
