The Papuan logrunner, also known as the New Guinea logrunner, is a distinct species of bird belonging to the family Orthonychidae. This avian marvel was once thought to be the same species as the Australian logrunner, but it has since been recognized as its own unique entity.
The Papuan logrunner is a denizen of the highlands of New Guinea. It thrives in the lush and verdant realms of subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, where the air is crisp and the foliage dense.
According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the Papuan logrunner is classified as Least Concern. This status indicates that, for now, the species does not face an immediate threat of extinction in the wild.
