Habitat:
It inhabits primary, lowland evergreen and semi-evergreen rainforest and a mosaic of scrub and lightly wooded cultivation, up to 550 m, generally frequenting the canopy and subcanopy, where it feeds chiefly on fruit. It is assumed to be resident, but it may perhaps make local movements in response to fruiting events. Has been observed foraging on fruit trees in groups of up to 40 individuals (Mittermeier et al. 2013, eBird 2023).
Range:
Ptilinopus granulifrons is endemic to the island of Obi, North Maluku, Indonesia (BirdLife International 2001).
Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
No targeted actions are known. The centre of Obi is protected as a forest reserve (UNEP-WCMC and IUCN 2023), although this is at an elevation likely too high for this species and, in any instance, its designation is poorly enforced.
Conservation Actions Proposed
Conduct further surveys to clarify its current distribution, status and ecological requirements (particularly tolerance of habitat degradation). Investigate levels of hunting on Obi. Identify and establish a protected area in the island's lowlands, catering for this species and other endemic fauna. Conduct local awareness campaigns on the endemic avifauna.
