  1. Burung Indonesia currently conducting bird species survey in Peleng Island, where total 11 area representing different habitat type, altitute, land cover in east, central and western part of the island were surveyed. Initial result showed that Sula Pitta observed only in 5 sites and absent in 6 others. the 6 sites varies in altitute and each represent parts of the island (east, west and central), all these sites where the Sula Pitta absent is highly disturbed and mostly covered by agriculture and bushes, also some were degraded by grazog for livestock. Meanwhile all the the observed Sula Pitta location were almost exclusively in the area where the canopy cover occurs and provided from well- growth trees.

    The main threat of biodiversity in Peleng island are the loss of habitat from slash and burn for agricultural activity and unsustainable use natural resources by the community. these threats occur in most of the island, and given that 98% of the island were composed of karst ecosystems and small island, the future impact of the threat will be severe

    Thus, we suggest that the proposed status of Sula Pitta are still in Near Threatened category

    Burung Indonesia are currently conducting conservation actions on the island to tackle the aforementioned issues with several approach being implemented (CB-PA, awareness and education, also mainstreaming endemic biodiversity in to government policy and program.
