Abstract

The Crowned Dove (Goura cristata) is an endemic bird species from Papua that is currently experiencing a population decline due to hunting and habitat loss. Ex-situ conservation efforts at Ragunan Zoo (Taman Margasatwa Ragunan) serve as a vital strategy to ensure the survival of this species. This study aims to document the daily activities of G. cristata within the Ragunan Zoo collection in South Jakarta. Data collection was conducted through direct observation using the Focal Animal Sampling (FAS) method from 08:00 to 15:00 during both weekdays and weekends.

The results indicated that the dominant activity for the male G. cristata was walking, while the female spent more time feeding. These findings provide essential insights into the daily behavior of G. cristata within a conservation environment, which can serve as a foundation for implementing more effective management and maintenance strategies at Ragunan Zoo and other conservation institutions.
