【 摘 要 】

Tanjung Piai is located in the southern-most tip of mainland Asia. It is one of the most important Ramsar site and Important Bird Area (IBA) in Malaysia. However, this site is receiving a major threat from shipping traffic in Malacca Straits which led to several impacts such as coastal erosion and pollution. Avifauna study of Tanjung Piai was conducted from May until August 2017. The objective of the study is to document the diversity of birds in the wetland areas of Tanjung Piai. The bird was recorded by using direct observation technique as well as mist-net trapping method. A total of 228 individuals, 32 species, and 23 families were recorded. The Shannon-Weiner Index, H', is 3.33 indicated that Tanjung Piai has high diversity and serve as a good habitat for bird species.
