Abstract

A rapid assessment of sciurids and avifauna was done from 14^th October 2020 – 20^thOctober 2020 in Kadamaian – Kinabalu Park, Kota Belud, Sabah. Two sets of binoculars (Swarovski 8x30 and Bushnell 10x42) and two sets of Digital SLR cameras affixed with telephoto lens (Canon 7D; Tamron 150-600mm G2 F/4-6.3 and Nikon D500; Nikkor 200-500mm F/5.6) were used to aid in data collections. This assessment managed to record 5 species of Sciurids and 58 species of Avifauna in and around the Kadamaian-Kinabalu Park. Continuous biodiversity surveys are crucial in Kadamaian – Kinabalu, Sabah to maximize the potential ecotourism opportunity.
