Abstract

Birds are animals that are very closely related to human life, both to be used as food or to be distributed as a hobby. However, at this time the existence of birds in nature is increasingly experiencing a decline in diversity and is even threatened with extinction. The purpose of this study was to determine the types of birds traded in the city of Pontianak and Kubu Raya regency along with their IUCN status and trade status (CITES). This research was conducted in March-April 2021. The method used was direct observation (recording) and conducting interviews with bird shop owners. The data obtained were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the results of research that has been done, the number of shops in Pontianak Cityis19 bird shops. Meanwhile, the number of shops in Kubu Raya Regencyis nine bird shops. The most common birds found in stores are from the Muscicapidae family, 48 species of birds traded with least concern (LC) status, five species of near threatened (NT), eight species of vulnerable (VU), and two species of critically endangered (CR). 58 bird species are not included in the CITES appendix list, one species is included in Appendix I, namely Zosterops palpebrosus, and four species are included in Appendix II, namely Leucopsar rothschildi, Garrulax canorus, Pycnonotus zeylanicus, and Melopsittacus undulates. Meanwhile, the majority of the birds (91%) found in the stores come from the wild compared to those from livestock (9%). The results also showed that wild birds were obtained by traders through hunting and buying from others.

Abstract

The sophisticated communications could be a tool as a driver to increase of the illegal wildlife trade. Since 2012 there has been a shift in the trend of illegal wildlife trade from the offline market to the online market (advertising, e-commerce and social media). This study aims to determine the role of new media in the dissemination of Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) Fatwa No. 4/2014 about The Protection of Endangered Species for the Balance of the Ecosystem (illegal wildlife trade fatwa). The research was carried out in April–August 2020 through the new media Facebook. Collecting wildlife trade data through Google trends for a period of 5 years (2015-2020). Google trends are used as a basic reference in determining targets for video dissemination through Facebook. The approach used is by using research methods through new media, content analysis resulting from video dissemination (such as impressions, engagement, opinions, and feelings). The results of the study show that new media can be an effective medium in conveying and developing conservation messages, particularly to reduce the illegal wildlife trade in Indonesia.

Abstract

The wild birds in nature can be threatened due to the increasing demand for birds for pets by some people. On the other hand, the bird trade can be an opportunity for gaining economic benefits. One of the highest demands of birds comes from Java, especially Jakarta. This study aims to determine the types of birds traded in bird shops in Jakarta along with their IUCN conservation status, the protection status according to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 106 of 2018, and the CITES trading status. The research was conducted in April-May 2021. Data collection methods included direct observation (recording and recording) and interviews. The data were taken by purposively listing the bird shops. The data obtained were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis. The results show from sample area in Jakarta, we approached 57 bird traders (13 stores in Central Jakarta, 12 stores in North Jakarta, 12 stores in West Jakarta, 10 stores in East Jakarta, and 10 stores in South Jakarta). The birds found are coming from 42 bird families consisting of 117 species. 100 species are the least concern status, seven species are near threatened, one species is vulnerable, five species are endangered, and four species are critically endangered. Based on KLHK Ministerial Regulation No. 106 of 2018, there are 16 protected and 101 unprotected bird species. 113 bird species are not included in the CITES category, one species belongs to the appendix I category, three species belong to the appendix II category. Although in general the IUCN status of the traded birds is LC, a large number (73%) of the wild bird species were caught from nature. The survey shows the trend of the bird trade together with the increasing market demand may lead to population decline that caused rareness of the species and perhaps extinction.
