Abstract

This review compares the bird surveys conducted 30 years ago recent studies and observations at Krau Wildlife Reserve. The Gunung Benom expedition was not repeated until today although numerous bird research had been carried out at Kuala Lompat since then. The finding of the Mountain Peacock Pheasant Polyplectron inopinatum one of the two endemic avian species of Peninsula Malaysia was a significant discovery in Gunung Benom. There were 52 families comprised of 332 species which represents 52.6 of the 631 avian species recorded in Peninsula Malaysia. All the surveys and research studies showed that avifauna in the lowland of Kuala Lompat is very diverse and intact.
