Summary

A recent study conducted in Ujung Kulon National Park, Indonesia, identified 59 species of fauna within the park's diverse ecosystems. These included nine large mammal species, seven herpetofauna (amphibian and reptile) species, 13 butterfly species, and 30 avifauna (bird) species. The research, carried out in September 2022 along a 9.7 km transect from Cilintang to Legon Pakis, aimed to document the park's fauna diversity while highlighting threats posed by climate change, poaching, and land transfers. This study contributes critical baseline data for conservation efforts in one of Indonesia's most biodiverse protected areas.
