Abstract

Asian Dowitcher Limnodromus semipalmatus is a Near Threatened shorebird species that only occur in East Asian Australasian Flyway (EAAF) sites. Banyuasin peninsula has known as important habitat for Asian Dowitcher during migration period. We compile and summarize all records of Asian Dowitcher in Banyuasin peninsula. There are at least 33 records of Asian Dowitcher from 1986 to 2019. The largest number is 11,500 to 13,000 birds during migration period in 1988. Unfortunately, the number had never been reported up to 2,500 birds since 2000s. Based on this data, it is assumed that the number of Asian Dowitchers in Banyuasin peninsula decline up to 80% in the last 20 years. Further monitoring and improving habitats are recommended to follow up Asian Dowitcher conservation actions in Banyuasin peninsula in the future.
