Dear Steemians.
The hunting of the black eagle continues to occur in Sumatra. Predator of meat with this cage robber, has rarely seemed to fly freely in nature. They are more in a narrow cage, with wild eyes for a moment then dim, perhaps realizing life in iron bars. Recently, the Center for Natural Resources Conservation of North Sumatra (BKSDA Sumut), released black eagle from confiscated residents of Sibolangit, Deli Serdang. Hotmuli Sianturi, BBKSDA Head of North Sumatra, said the release of black eagle in Nature Park (TWA) Sibolangit this form of protection of eagle from extinction. The eagle that has been released for many years has been kept in a narrow cage.
He formed a team rehabilitating and training black eagle to get freelancers back, and able to compete in the wild. Preparation of the training area raises the wild nature of this eagle, conducted at TWA Sibolangit, which has a very suitable forest contour. "It is very necessary for animals to survive," he said. Note BKSDA Sumut, in the last two months three times the black eagle seizure is from various locations in North Sumatra. Ignorance of the owner, so the reason to keep this animal. Habitat is destroyed, hunting is high, being among other causes of the black eagle population continues to diminish.
Monitoring since 2013-June 2016, there are 30-50 eagles monitored camera trap. This animal has uniqueness, only laying one year. High hunting, broken habitat, became the main factor of the black eagle population decreased. "Shocking again, there is also considered eating black eagles to make strong stamina. From the observation, he said, black eagle is still observed in the forest of Bukit Barisan, Sibolangit People's Forest Park and TNGL Langkat. Eagle appears to fly alone or together with a partner at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level. These animals can fall down between 400-500 meters. Black eagle lives in the mountains, lowland forest with an altitude between 1,400-3000 meters above sea level. He hopes, there is a maximum penalty for hunters, maintain and trade this eagle. Because of their observation in the judiciary, the sentence is less than two years and a fine of less than Rp10 million, as in the Stabat District Court, Dairi, Mandailing Natal, Sibolga and Pangururan. "Punishment must be maximum."
