Mount Diatuto
Mount Diatuto is a mountain in East Timor, a country occupying the eastern end of the island of Timor in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Wallacea. Description Mount Diatuto, at an elevation of 1770 m, is the highest point in an area of steep hills and ridges on the central spine of the island in the Manatuto District, about 42 km south-east of the national capital, Dili. The mountain is covered by, and surrounded with, a 345 km2 forested area on ultrabasic rocks, formerly known in Indonesian as ''Hutan Querelau Lauberio''. It is characterised by a somewhat stunted vegetation of what was originally semi-evergreen monsoon forest, now degraded and mainly confined to the higher ridges, with eucalypt woodland subject to grazing elsewhere. Birds The site has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports populations of bar-necked cuckoo-doves, Timor green pigeons, pink-headed imperial pigeons, yellow-crested cockatoos, olive-h ...

Manatuto District
Manatuto (, ) is one of the municipalities (formerly districts) of East Timor, located in the central part of the country. It has a population of 45,541 (Census 2010) and an area of 1,783.3 km². The capital of the municipality is also named Manatuto. It is the least populated municipality of East Timor. Etymology The word ''Manatuto'' has been said to be a Portuguese approximation of the local Tetum and Galoli language word ''Manatutu'', which means 'pecking birds'. According to another source, the word is a portmanteau of the Tetum words ''Mana'' and ''tutu'', which mean 'old woman' and 'peak' or 'summit', respectively. The legend goes that two groups of people were each living on the summit of a hill, one of them named Sau Raha (now Soraha) and the other Sau Lor (now Saulidun). The two groups were engaged separately in their own daily activities, but each was accompanied by one of two Liurai, who were brothers. Geography The borders of the municipality of Manatuto a ...

Chestnut-backed Thrush
The chestnut-backed thrush (''Geokichla dohertyi'') is a ground thrush species endemic to Lombok, Timor and the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia. The species is rapidly declining and it is already extinct on Lombok and possibly on Lesser Sunda. There are a number of European institutions that hold this species, including: Berlin Zoological Garden, Birdworld, Bristol Zoo, Royal Burgers' Zoo, Chester Zoo, Edinburgh Zoo, Durrell Wildlife Park, and Waddesdon Manor aviary. Six of these zoos have successfully bred them since October 2011 and there are now 91 of them in these institutions. Private Members of the Foreign Bird League in the UK are participating in the breeding scheme for this species and are being particularly successful. A European species, the fieldfare, was once also known by this nam The binomial name of this bird commemorates the American entomologist William Doherty William Doherty (May 15, 1857 in Cincinnati – May 25, 1901 in Nairobi) was an American entom ...
