Abstract
Johor, the 3rd largest state in peninsular Malaysia after Pahang and Perak, has various forest vegetations accommodating a diverse array of avian species. With this endowment, Johor attracts birders all around the globe to come see them closed up. This paper provides review on avian diversity in Johor state with highlighting areas that accommodate importance species and high species richness. Data on bird diversity were extracted from published journals and online resources (Avibase and Birdlife Internaional). To date, a total of 292 species of birds documented in Johor which are representing 41% of birds recorded in Peninsular Malaysia. The highest species richness recorded at Panti Forest Reserve with a total of 248 species recorded dating as early as 2002. Remarkably, 23% of bird recorded classified as Near Threatened and another 7% listed as Threatened under IUCN Redlist. It is hoped that this review would facilitate future planning and management of conservation areas in Johor.
