Zusammenfassung:Wehea-Kelay landscape is an unprotected area, located on the eastern part of Borneo Island. It is managed by 7 unit managements, which were mostly timber companies. We compiled and collated our avifauna data with previous studies. We recorded 273 bird species belonging to 60 families during field work. 61 species were protected based on Indonesian regulations. Among of them were threatened species with small population such as Great argus Argusianus argus , Storm’s stork Ciconia stormi , and Helmeted hornbill Buceros vigil . Although Wehea-Kelay is dominated by timber concessions, the landscape can still provide habitat for many species of bird. Nevertheless, anthropogenic pressures i.e. illegal hunting have increased and become a threat for birds particularly commercially traded species such as Leafbirds Chloropsis spp, White-rumped Shama Copsychus malabaricus , Common hill myna Gracula religiosa , and also Helmeted hornbill Buceros vigil .
