Abstract
Lesser Sand Plover Charadrius mongolus is one of the most common small migratory shorebird in Banyuasin Peninsula, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. There are at least 32 documented observations of significant counts of Lesser Sand Plover in Banyuasin Peninsula between 1984 to 2020. Based on the single largest record of Lesser Sand Plover at a site, the population in Banyuasin Peninsula is estimated at 20000 birds (15% population in EAAF region). We investigated the population trend over time and show that since the 1980s that population size for Lesser Sand Plover across nine monitored sites in Banyuasin Peninsula has more than halved. The estimated population for the region has been less than 4000 individuals since the late 1980s. We recommend continued monitoring of shorebirds at this site and habitat protection for the conservation of this declining species.
