Apalharpactes reinwardtii

The Javan Trogon is a species of bird in the Trogonidae family. The species was once lumped together with the Sumatran Trogon in a single species, the Blue-tailed Trogon, but differences in size, weight and plumage have led to the two being split. These two species were once themselves lumped with the rest of the Asian trogons in the genus Harpactes, but have been split into their own genus due to differences in plumage.

The Apalharpactes reinwardtii is classified as Endangered (EN), considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.

Range & population Apalharpactes reinwardtii is known from just six forested mountains in West Java, Indonesia: Gunung Halimun, Gunung Salak, Gunung Gede-Pangrango, Gunung Patuha-Tilu, Gunung Wayang and Gunung Papandayan. There are only recent records from three of these (Halimun, Salak and Gede-Pangrango). The historical range totals 11,600 km2. Although it has been stated to occur from 800-2,600 m, little forest remains below 1,000 m away from Halimun, and the species appears to be rarer at higher elevations. More
