DISTRIBUSI JALAK BALI (Leucopsar rothschildi) DI KEPULAUN NUSA PENIDA

Abstract

Bali Starling (Leucopsar rothschildi Stresemann, 1912) is endemic bird to the Bali Island. Since 1966, Bali Starling has been categoried as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and the Indonesian Government Regulation No. 7 of 1999 on Preservation of Fauna and Flora. Conservation of Bali Starling has been done in the Bali Barat National Park, but has not succeeded yet. Therefore, starting in 2006 the conservation of the Bali Starling is also done in the Nusa Penida Islands, Klungkung Regency. To examine the successful of conservation of Bali Starling in Nusa Penida Islands, need the studies as follows: How is the distribution of Bali Starling? This research aims to study the success of conservation of Bali Starling in Nusa Penida Island. Specifically, the purpose of this research were to study distribution of Bali Starling. Materials and methods used in this research was known from questioned to the people in the area, and also conducted exploration. Distribution of Bali Starling in 2006 was only in three locations, and being expanded in 2015 there were at least in 12 locations.

EFFECTS OF HUMAN FACTORS IN THE EXISTENCE OF BALI STARLING (Leucopsar rothschildi) THROUGH GEOGRAPHIC INFOMATION SYSTEM APPROACH IN WEST BALI NATIONAL PARK AND NUSA PENIDA BALI

“…Bali starlings in Nusa Penida Islands were dominated by starling bird chicks that had no ring and were able to live independently. Bali starling has adapted to Nusa Penida environment according to the initial purpose of the release in 2006 (Sudaryanto, 2016). All of the needs of Bali starling are already available in the plantations of the surrounding community in Nusa Penida Islands (Ginantra et al, 2009;Riany and Aunurohim, 2013).…”

“…Nusa Penida Islands consist of 46 cultural villages, 18 service villages, and 79 banjars (Sudaryanto, 2016). Land use in Nusa Penida Islands is dominated by settlement and agriculture with several commodities such as cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.), nuts, mango (Mangifera indica L.), and secondary crops (Tawan et al 2013).…”

“…One of the conservation efforts to restore the population of Bali starling in nature was by conducting trial release in the introduction area or outside their natural habitat (BTNBB, 2013). This activity had been carried out in Nusa Penida area of Bali by the Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF) working in collaboration with Bali Government, Udayana University, and Indigenous Institutions at the Nusa Penida District, Klungkung Regency, Bali Province (Sudaryanto, 2016). In 2013, the population of Bali starlings in Nusa Penida area in Ped village was seen at four points with an individual number of approximately 20-25 Bali starlings (Riany and Aunurohim, 2013).…”

“…In 2013, the population of Bali starlings in Nusa Penida area in Ped village was seen at four points with an individual number of approximately 20-25 Bali starlings (Riany and Aunurohim, 2013). However, in 2010, this success was followed by a decline in Bali starling population, which was only 19 birds remaining in Nusa Penida (Sudaryanto, 2016).…”

Large-Scale Trade in a Songbird That Is Extinct in the Wild

“…In the 1980s the first captive-bred Bali mynas were released into Bali Barat National Park [26]. Later, the species was reintroduced in central Bali [37], and a population of released birds has established itself on the islands of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan off Bali [16,37,38]. In 2012 and 2013, the first captivebred black-winged mynas were released in West Java and Banten [5], and this was followed by several other releases in western Java.…”
