Save Javanese Eagle Population

Population Javanese eagle (Spizaetus bartelsi) in Forest Park Raden Soerjo, East Java, are threatened with extinction. Deforestation in the region thought to be the cause of the decline in populations of rare birds. The results of recent monitoring ProFauna, conducted in July 2010 to April 2011, shows the number of Javanese eagle in the Forest Park Raden Soerjo only two. This number decreased when compared with the results of monitoring ProFauna in 2009, who still find there are six.

"The shrinking of the primary forests are the habitat of eagles Java contributes substantially to the reduced population of Javanese eagles," said Chairman ProFauna Indonesia Rosek Nursahid.

To maintain the Javanese eagle population in the Forest Park Raden Soerjo, ProFauna requested that the action of the destruction of forest parks and other forests in Java discontinued. Reduced Java eagle population is also affected by the use of pesticides on agricultural land adjacent to the forest.

ProFauna estimate the number of Javanese eagles found in nature is no more than 400 individuals. According to ProFauna, in addition to the Forest Park Raden Soerjo, there are a number of places Javanese eagle's habitat in East Java, such as Sempu Island, Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, Merubetiri National Park, Alas Purwa National Park, Lebakharjo, Pegungan Hyang, and Ijen Crater.

Reduced Java eagle population is also affected by the use of pesticides on agricultural land adjacent to the forest.
