Youth based-endemic species bird conservation

in Jakarta Area

“JAKARTA ENDEMIC BIRD PROJECT ”

BACKGROUND

There is no detail information about distribution of Sunda coucal and Black-winged Starling in Jakarta area

The latest information about Sunda coucal was in 1997 while for Black-winged Starling on 2001 for Java as general

Youth as the future leaders, it is critical to give them better understanding with their environment by involving them in field activities at early steps

Black-winged Starling Jalak putih

(Sturnus melanopterus)Although this starling was common until recently, the paucity of records in the field and the increasing rarity of individuals in the cage-bird trade suggest that it has undergone an extremely rapid decline over the past 13 years (three generations). As such, this species qualifies as Critically Endangered, and urgent conservation action is required to halt its unsustainable exploitation for trade.

Sturnus melanopterus is endemic to the islands of Java and Bali, Indonesia, also occurring on adjacent Madura and Nusa Penida

The population is best placed in the band 1,000-2,499 individuals. Surveys are urgently required to accurately assess the global population size.

(Sturnus melanopterus)

This species has a small population which is likely to be undergoing a rapid decline owing to habitat destruction and trapping. It is therefore classified as Vulnerable.

Centropus nigrorufus is endemic to Indonesia, where it occurs on Java. It is locally common, but rather sparsely distributed, although it may be under-recorded. It can still be found in suitable habitat right along the north Java coast.

The population size is preliminarily estimated to fall into the band 2,500-9,999 mature individuals.
