Abstract

ABSTRACT

Wildlife is all animals that still have wild characteristics that live on land, water or in the air, including wildlife who live freely or kept by humans. Referring to demographic data and an increase of agricultural land area in Kei Besar island during the last five years, it is predicted that there has been a reduction in the forest area that has been converted into residential areas and agricultural land. If this activity enters the Daab Mountain Nature Reserve  area it is predicted that wildlife habitat will also be disturbed (reduced), with the result that can affect the population and distribution of wildlife. This study aims to determine the species and distribution of wildlife in the vicinity of the Southern Daab MountainNature Reserve  The method used is Index Point of Aboundance (IPA) and Line transect. From The results of this study it can be seen that in the area around the Southern Mount Daab Nature Reserve, there is 41 species of wild animals that divided into six species of mammals, thirty-two species of birds (Aves), and three species of reptiles, also there are five species of endemic wildlife. The richness of wild species that live and breed in the area around the southern Mount Daab Nature Reserve is more in the west than in the east because habitat conditions are more favorable regarding the use of land by public.
