Sosio- Economic Proble about Birds

Than 119 type that threatened, there are five species of birds is very critical because threatened. Birds referred to is nuri talaud (Eos histrio), popinjay small crested yellow ( Cacatua sulphurea), popinjay gnarly (Cacatua moluccansis), jalak bali (Leucopsar rothchildi), trulek java (Vanellus macropterus) and seriwangsa sangihe (Eutrichomyias rowleyi). Actually various efforts have done to prevent extinction animals indonesian wealth that, but all appeared ineffective, due to rampant illegal trade rare animals that. Trade birds nuri talaud (Eos histrio) or locals call it “sampiri”, for example, distribution has been rampant. Least hundreds of birds valuable this high smuggled abroad.

The Government has actually been trying to maintain the sustainability of the rare animals, among other things by setting the konservasidi forest area of the Sangihe Talaud Islands. On the island of Sangir Of no less than approximately 3,549 ha area was made a protected forest on the island while Sahendaruman Karakelang about 24,669 ha made the area Wildlife Karakelang and 9000 ha as the area of protected forest. Unfortunately, the presence of forest conservation are particularly vulnerable due to the rampant encroachment of forests, timber theft, poaching and trading of wildlife, as well as environmental pollution. The local government is aware of the importance of this area, and supports the protection as well as the existence of such areas. However, it is not the existence of an agreement between the community and the Government relating to the management of natural resources as well as the clarity of boundaries of forest area leads to less effective government protection.

In Indonesia there are at least 1,500 species of birds. Not a few of these are listed in the endangered category (being Critically endangered). Today we will discuss 10 of them, the following native birds that are endangered:

Celepuk Siau (Otus siaoensis) 

Anis-bentet Sangihe (Colluricincla sanghirensis)

Elang Flores (Spizaetus floris)

Gagak Banggai (Corvus unicolor)

Jalak Bali (Leucopsar rothschildi)

Kakatua Kecil Jambul Kuning (Cacatua sulphurea)

Merpati Hutan Perak (Columba argentina)

Perkici Buru (Charmosyna toxopei)

Trulek Jawa (Vanellus macropterus)

Tokhtor Sumatera (Carpococcyx viridis)

Bird become extict to fullfill human economic need. For Example is Paradisaea Raggiana. They threatened scarece because of wild hunter that use air rifle to kill the bird in Berawai, Yapen Island, Papua . Then, the bird are durable and  sell illegally. Based on BKSDA (Badan Kelestarian Sumber Daya Alam) research in April-Juni 2010 the number of this bird approximately 118 birds.  The scarcity also caused by illegal logging and plantage cleating that disturb Paradisaea Raggiana. Society cannot do anything beacuse of less facility from government.

So scared if they must be die for some properties

Then, the solution to this phenomenon is:

- Sosialiasation to society about  importance keep of preservation

-“Penangkaran”

-Government fasilitate society to keep habitat of bird.
