Abstract

Hornbills are one of the unique fauna that play an important role in maintaining the ecosystem as seed dispersers and indicators of forest degradation. Currently, the existence of bird populations is threatened and is in low to critical status. Research related to hornbill populations Information related to hornbill populations in the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park area is still very limited, especially on the Bukit Baka Hiking Trail so it needs to be studied further to determine the estimated population density of hornbills on the Bukit Baka Hiking Trail. This study used the point count method and found as many as 4 species namely Anorrhinus galeritus totaling 9 individuals with a density value of 1.2 ind/km2, Anthracoceros malayanus 2 individuals with a density value of 0.25 ind/km2, Buceros rhinoceros 4 individuals with a density value of 0.5 ind/km2 and Rhyticeros undulatus 12 individuals with a density value of 1.5 ind/km2.
