Parametersrecorded werehabitat types, hour and minuteof presence, species name, andthe number of individual. Data was tabulated according to both five minute time unitsandhabitat types and then analysedto obtain the relative frequencyof the species presence. Status of protection, conservation, andtradewere determined. Fifty seven species were found and 39 of them were resident.Fifteen species are protected (PP No. 7/1999),3 species arenear threatened (IUCN), 3 species belongs to Appendix II (CITES), andthere is1 species endemicto Kalimantan.
