By contrast, Sulawesian bird species tend to be found on other nearby islands as well, such as [[Borneo]]; 31% of Sulawesi's birds are found nowhere else. One endemic (also found on small neighboring islands) is the largely ground-dwelling, chicken-sized [[maleo]], a [[megapode]] which sometimes uses hot sand close to the island's volcanic vents to incubate its eggs. An international partnership of conservationists, donors, and local people have formed the Alliance for Tompotika Conservation,<ref>{{cite web |date= |title=Maleo |url=https://www.tompotika.org/maleo/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241208064043/https://www.tompotika.org/maleo/ |archive-date=8 December 2024 |access-date=2025-04-03 |website=www.tompotika.org |publisher=Alliance for Tompotika Conservation}}</ref> in an effort to raise awareness and protect the nesting grounds of these birds on the central-eastern arm of the island. Other endemic birds include the flightless [[snoring rail]], the [[fiery-browed starling]], the [[Sulawesi masked owl]], the [[Sulawesi myna]], the [[satanic nightjar]] and the [[grosbeak starling]]. There are around 350 known bird species in Sulawesi.
