Wana Patra Lestari (WPL) is a remaining forest in the center of Balikpapan City. It is located in the working area of PT Pertamina Refinery Unit (RU) V Balikpapan. Besides having cultural and historical value, the existence of the WPL area also has environmental service value as a habitat for birds and mammals. This study aims to analyze the diversity of bird and mammal species in the WPL area. We collected all related bird record by using a combination of point count and mist-netting methods. Furthermore, mammal was sampled by using a combination of line transect, live-trapping, camera-trapping, and also mist-netting survey. The results showed that in the WPL area 17 species of birds and 6 species of mammals were identified. There are 14 species of birds and 2 species of mammals added from previous studies. Of all the identified species, there is only one protected species in Indonesia, namely Elang Bondol ( Haliastur indus ). Periodic monitoring is needed to find out more about population dynamics and diversity of wildlife in the WPL.
