Abstract: This study aims to determine species diversity of squirrel in Tembawang Forest the Sompak village Sompak District of Porcupine District. The total area of 21 ha research site, 300 m wide, 700 m long. This research was conducted by direct observation using the lane. Observations were made in the village of Forest Areas Tembawang Sompak, with 3 repetitions of each track, there are many lanes 4 lanes, with a path length of 200 meters and width of lanes 50 m, and 50 m to the left, to the right of each -masing so broad lines of 2 ha each lane.

Splendidula , T. tana, T. Picta. Index value of species diversity 1.47089 index value of evenness 1.06102 dominance index value of 0.29517383 and species richness index value of 0.690627. diversity squirrel near 1.5 it s means From the results of these data values approaching species is classified, and the value of dominance index value is close to zero, meaning no squirrel species are the most dominant in the forest areas tembawang Sompak village.
