Baluran National Park is a Natural Resources Conservation area. Avifauna is a perfect indicator to determine environmental health and the value of biodiversity as a whole. This study aimed to assess the diversity of avifauna species and their abundance in Baluran National Park. This research using a combination line transect and point count method. The results showed that Baluran National Park has high species diversity. Species found during the study were 36 of 24 families. As many as 11% (4 species) of birds are in a large category, 39% (14 species) in a general category, 19% (7 species) in a frequent category, 6% (2 species) in an uncommon category and 25% (9 species) in a rare category. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there are various kinds of avifauna in Baluran National Park.

The research conducted in the coastal forest of Baluran National Park identified 14 different bird species.Anthracoceros albirostris was found to be the most dominant species, thriving in the open vegetation.The highest bird species diversity was observed on transect four, while the lowest was on transect two.Species diversity is influenced by vegetation type, resulting in varying habitat preferences among different species.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengkaji dampak perubahan iklim terhadap distribusi dan kelimpahan spesies avifauna di Baluran National Park, mengingat perubahan iklim dapat mengubah komposisi vegetasi dan ketersediaan sumber daya makanan. Selain itu, studi mendalam mengenai interaksi antara avifauna dengan flora lokal, khususnya jenis-jenis pohon yang menjadi habitat dan sumber makanan utama, perlu dilakukan untuk memahami peran penting burung dalam menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem. Terakhir, penelitian mengenai efektivitas berbagai metode konservasi terhadap populasi burung yang terancam pun perlu dipertimbangkan, termasuk upaya restorasi habitat dan pengendalian perburuan liar, untuk memastikan kelestarian keanekaragaman hayati avifauna di Baluran National Park.
