The Lompobattang fruit-dove (Ptilinopus meridionalis) is a species of bird in the pigeon family. It is native to Sulawesi, Indonesia. [2]
These birds are around 35 to 37 centimetres (14 to 15 in) long. They have black upperparts and a grey head and underparts. They have a dark-purple mask behind their eyes, which is unique for this species. [3]
It was first described in 1893 by Meyer and Wiglesworth. [3] This species was formerly placed with Ptilinopus fischeri before they were split into two distinct species. [4]
This species occurs in south-western Sulawesi, Indonesia where they occupy an estimated surface of 468 square kilometres (181 sq mi). They usually reside in forests and are found at elevations between 1,000 to 3,000 metres (3,300 to 9,800 ft). [2] [3]
It is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. [2] There are believed to be between 2,500 and 10,000 Lompobattang fruit-doves in one sub-population. [2]
Habitat loss from deforestation has led to a slow decline in the population of the species. [2]
While there are no current conversation actions in progress, there is a proposal for 200 square kilometres (77 sq mi) of the Gunung Lompobattang mountain to be designated as a nature reserve. [2] [3]

The Negros fruit dove is a species of bird in the pigeon and dove family, Columbidae. It is endemic to the island of Negros in the Philippines. This fruit dove is known from a single female specimen collected from the slopes of Mount Kanlaon in the northern part of the island. While it was found at a high elevation, it is suspected that the species originally lived in the lowland dipterocarp forests and was driven to higher elevations by habitat destruction. While some have suggested that the specimen is either a runt or a hybrid instead of a valid species, this is not widely accepted. The female Negros fruit dove was a small fruit dove with vivid dark green plumage and an ashy-grey forehead. It had a distinctive ring of bare yellow skin around its eye, and yellow fringes to some of its feathers gave it the appearance of having a yellow wingbar when perched. The throat was white, while the undertail and vent were yellow.
