Central Sulawesi is Tangkasi (Tarsius dentatus). The purpose of this study was to estimate the spatial
distribution pattern of Tangkasi nesting sites based on the level of vegetation density and land cover
types in Kamarora B Village, Nokilalaki District. This research was carried out for three months, from
June 2020 to August 2020, located in Kamarora B Village, Nokilalaki District, data collection of
distribution points and types of vegetation used as nesting sites was carried out using purposive
sampling on the Tangkasi habitat. In sampling, the research was carried out by determining the

nest. The results of the classification of sentinel imagery 2a in 2019 showed 8 land cover classes,
Forest, Open Land, Plantation, Settlement, Rice Field, Cloud, Road, and River. From the results of the
classification of sentinel 2a images in 2019 with observational data on the distribution of Tangkasi by
