Abstract

AbstractThe Peleng tarsier (Tarsius pelengensis) is poorly known primate, with a range limited to Banggai island-group, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was classified as “Endangered” by IUCN in 2017 based on extremely limited demographic and distributional data. The aim of this study was to collect and analyze data on the population and distribution of Peleng tarsiers. Surveys were conducted over approximately 5 months in 2017 and 2018 across Peleng and the neighboring islands of Banggai, Labobo, and Bangkurung. We determined that tarsiers only occur on Peleng and Banggai Island. The average population density in Peleng and Banggai was estimated to be 234 individuals/km2. This is comparable to the broad ranges of tarsier densities throughout Sulawesi and offshore islands. Peleng tarsiers were found in all elevations (0–937 m above sea level) and nearly all vegetated habitats in Peleng island. Using the IUCN criteria for determining conservation status, in conjunction with our new data, we believe that the Peleng tarsier population should be classified as “Vulnerable”.
