Abstrakt: The javan hawk-eagle is a bird species endemic to Java, so the distribution area is limited in Java. The javan hawk-eagle is one of the indicators of environmental health in Gunung Ciremai National Park (TNGC). This study aims to analyze the habitat of the javan hawk-eagle and the behavior of the Javan hawk-eagle in Gunung Ciremai National Park. Observations focused on the area of direct encounter with the Javan hawk)eagle and were selected intentionally (purposive sampling). The habitat analysis was approached with vegetation analysis and habitat used method. The behavior of the javan hawk-eagle was observed by focal animal sampling to describe its daily activities. The results showed that habitat use during the javan hawk-eagle nesting season used plantation forest types (83.14%), natural forest (14.12%), and shrubs (2.75%). The characteristics of the javan hawk-eagle's resting place are strata A trees or strata B trees, which have horizontal and strong branches. The javan hawk-eagle chooses a tree to nest on an emergent tree, namely a pine tree (Pinus merkusii). The characteristics of the Javan hawk-eagle hunting area are natural forests with diverse and abundant potential for prey such as spotted doves and squirrels. The behavior of the javan hawk-eagle observed included resting 3 times, meeting for a total of 79 minutes, hunting 2 times for a total of 11 minutes, flying 8 times and meeting for a total of 48 minutes, and social interaction 5 times between 08.00 am and 11.00 am, with a total time of 108 minutes.
