Habitat:
It inhabits primary and secondary submontane forest at c. 600-1,230 m (Cleere and Nurney 1998, Eaton et al. 2021). Reports from lower elevations, down to 300 m, are presumed to be errors (Holyoak and Kirwan 2020, Puan et al. 2020). 


Range:
Batrachostomus harterti is restricted to the Bornean Mountains Endemic Bird Area. Discounting its apparently erroneous listings for Tanjung Puting National Park and Poring (Sabah) (Mann 2008), it is known only from Sarawak, Malaysia (records from Mt Dulit, Usun Apau Plateau and Kelabit Uplands) and West Kalimantan, Indonesia (one record from Mt Liang Kubung) (Cleere and Nurney 1998, Cleere 2010, Eaton et al. 2021, MNS Bird Conservation Council 2021). Its distribution, particularly the extent to which it extends into North Kalimantan, is not well known and requires clarification. 


Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
The species's range overlaps with several protected areas, including Usun Apau National Park, Pulung Tau National Park and Betung Kerihun National Park (UNEP-WCMC and IUCN 2023).

Conservation Actions Proposed
Conduct surveys to gather data on the species's ecology, distribution, population size and status, and likely threats. Reassess its conservation needs following these surveys, recommending further areas for protection where appropriate.
