Tarsius tumpara has not been the subject of systematic study, but it has been surveyed in the wild by a team led by M. Shekelle (Shekelle et al. 2008), and Siau Island was surveyed by Riley (2002). By analogy with other wild Tarsier populations it is expected that this taxon is found in primary (although no tracts of primary forest have been found on Siau Island), secondary and mangrove forests, forest gardens, and a variety of other habitats of varying degrees of human disturbance that provide adequate shrubby cover. Shekelle and Salim (2009b) reported that their surveys found evidence of T. tumpara in only two places; on the shores of a small freshwater pond at the extreme southern end of the of the island, and on a steep cliff face along the east coast road where it runs next to the ocean. Numerous other sites that appeared promising turned up no evidence of the presence of tarsiers. There are reports that they can still be found high on the flanks of Mt Karengetang, near the caldera.

Do most tarsiers starve to death?
Most tarsiers do not starve to death; however, their survival can be threatened by habitat loss and degradation. Tarsiers primarily feed on insects and small vertebrates, and if their natural habitat is compromised, it can lead to food scarcity. While starvation can occur in isolated individuals, it is not a common fate for healthy populations living in suitable environments. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure their survival and prevent food shortages.
What is the tarsiers name in Madagascar?
In Madagascar, the tarsier is often confused with the lemurs, but it is not native to the island.
