The introduction of Government-protected wildlife Father mother who I respect
Indonesia is a country rich in biodiversity. It is estimated as many as 300,000 kinds of wildlife or about 17% of the world's wildlife is in Indonesia, although extensive Indonesia only 1.3% of the land area of the world. Indonesia number one in terms of the richness of mammals (515) and habitat over 1539 bird species. As many as 45% of the fish in the world, living in Indonesia. Indonesia has also become habitat for wildlife-endemic or wildlife that is only found in Indonesia only. The number of mammals endemic to Indonesia there are 259 type, then the bird type and ampibi 384 173 type. The existence of this endemic is very important, because if it is extinct in Indonesia then it means they also became extinct in the world.
Although rich, but Indonesia is also known as a country that has a long list of endangered wildlife. The number of types of Indonesia wildlife are endangered according to the IUCN (2011) was 184 types of mammals, 119 species of birds, 32 reptiles, 32 types of ampibi, and 140 types. The total number of animal species endangered Indonesia with critical category (being critically endangered) there are 69 species, endangered species and 197 category the category of vulnerable (vulnerable) there are 539 type (IUCN, 2013). Animals-the animals really going extinct from nature if no action to combat.
The cause of endangered Indonesian wildlife punahnya there are at least two things that is reduced and the destruction of habitat, wildlife trade. The decline in the broad forest became an important factor in the cause of endangered wildlife punahnya, because the forest is the main habitat for the wildlife that. Mainland indonesia in 1950-60s reported approximately 84% forested (about 162 million ha), but now the Government menyebtukan that the Indonesian forest area of about 138 million acres. However, many Parties mentioned the different data that Indonesian forest area is now no more than 120 million hectares.
The conversion of the forest into palm oil plantations, mining and industrial plants are becoming a serious threat to the conservation of wildlife, including rare wildlife like orangutans, Sumatran tigers, and Sumatran elephants. poaching of wildlife that too often go hand in hand with the opening of the natural forest. Wildlife considered vermin by the industry, so that in many places of this animal was destroyed. After an increasingly shrinking habitat problems in quantity and quality, wildlife trade is becoming a serious threat to the conservation of wildlife in indonesia. more than 95% of animals sold in the market is the catch from nature, not a result of captive breeding. more than 20% of animals sold in the market are dead due to improper transportation. various types of protected wildlife and endangered species still traded freely in indonesia. the more rare the animals eat will also more expensive price. as many as 40% of wildlife listed dead due to a painful arrest process, inadequate transportation, narrow cages and food are lacking. trade in wildlife it is cruel! approximately 60% of mammals that are traded on the market is the kind of rare and reserved. as much as 70% of primates and Parrot that kept the community suffer from diseases and deviations in behavior. many of the diseases of animals that can be suffered contagious to humans.
