Aceh Bulbul
One of the rare bulbul in the world! The Aceh Bulbul is restricted to a narrow altitudinal range in montane forest on Sumatra and no where else in the world. ‘Aceh Bulbul’ or Orange-spotted Bulbul (P. bimaculatus snouckaerti), it is endemic of North Sumatra. Aceh Bulbul is a serious problem with populations now on a very low density in many parts of Sumatra. |

| Schneider’s Pitta (Pitta schneideri). This enigmatic ground-dweller is classified as Vulnerable because it is precautionarily judged to have a small population, which is likely to be declining as a result of on-going habitat loss and degradation. Pitta schneideri is endemic to the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. |

Sumatran Woodpecker (Picus dedemi)
It's one of the rare woodpecker in the world!
P. dedemi is endemic to Sumatra, Indonesia, where it occurs in forest and woodland habitats in montane areas. This newly-split species is listed as Near Threatened on the basis that it is suspected to be in moderately rapid population decline (approaching 30% over three generations) owing to on-going habitat loss and degradation. The rate of decline is not thought to be more rapid because the species shows some tolerance of habitat modification and fragmentation, and occurs in montane areas.
