“…The potential for habitat degradation and illegal poaching in Indonesia is still high. As reported by Nijman et al (2022), the threat of poaching and illegal trade, especially raptors on Java, Bali, and Lombok still exists. So that proposing this EEG area to be Ijen Geopark Biosites is a very appropriate step for in-situ conservation efforts.…”

Erek-Erek Geoforest (EEG) is one of the Biosites of Ijen Geopark located at the eastern slope of Mount Ijen. This location has unique topography of highland forests restricted by mountain ridges. This topography creates dense vegetation and humid ecosystem supporting microhabitats for endemic birds. This study aims to investigate the diversity and uniqueness of avifauna in EEG based on the existing value of birds. The method used is a point count at three potential station for the presence of birds. The data collected are the bird species, individual number of species, and species existence based on conservation status, distribution, and protection status. Data analysis includes the Shannon Wiener diversity index (H’), Evenness index (E), and existence factor (Ef) of bird community. The results show there are 57 species of birds belonging to 46 genera and 31 families. The diversity of birds in EEG Biosite has a high value (H'=3.40) and also a high evenness value (E=0.84). The Ef value of birds in this area is 51.35, which means the uniqueness value is a medium category. There are three bird species that have the highest Ef value, i.e Arborophila orientalis (Ef=80.00), Pycnonotus bimaculatus (Ef=73.33) and Locustella montis (Ef=73.33). The three species are endemic to Indonesia, especially A. orientalis whose distribution is limited to the highlands of East Java. Based on the composition, diversity, and uniqueness of avifauna in the EEG, it becomes valuable information for the government, Ijen Geopark Manager, and local communities to manage EEG Biosite conservatively by maintaining the existence of avifauna and their habitats.

The presence of birds of prey at the ecosystems in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park (TNGGP) is very important as the top predator that helps stabilizing the pyramid or food chain. This study purpose to examine the diversity of raptors at Tegallega Resort in TNGGP. Fieldwork had been conducted from June 2021 to Maret 2022 and Oktober 2022 at this resort. Data collection used 1 km line transect where the point counts applied. Three line transects with 1 km in between distance were visited 11 times during the field data collection. The result shows that Tegallega Resort has five raptor species: crested serpent-eagle Spilornis cheela, changeable hawk-eagle Nisaetus limnaeetus, javan hawk-eagle N. bartelsi, Eurasian sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus, and barn owl Tyto alba. The eagles and hawk are protected by Indonesian regulations, while the owl is least concern species according to IUCN Redlist. When found the eagles flies in circles (soaring) with a sound when the weather is sunny and hot.

“…In addition, habitat destruction and poaching also threaten the Javan hawk-eagle population. Based on the findings of Nijman et al (2022), 29 Javan hawk eagles were sold freely through social media, and the authorities confiscated seven of them. According to Gunawan et al (2017), the illegal wildlife trade has led to a decline in the Javan hawk-eagle population.…”

Abstract. Ilmi AR, Luthfi M, Elfidasari D, Hidayat YS, Prawiradilaga DM. 2023. First report on daily activity and feeding behavior of Javan hawk-eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi) in the protected forest of Kondang Merak Beach, Malang, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 6770-6779. The Javan Hawk-Eagle (JHE) (Nisaetus bartelsi) is an endemic bird of prey (raptor) on Java Island that is increasingly threatened due to land conversion, habitat destruction, and illegal hunting. These factors have led to its classification as a critically endangered species. There is a need to monitor one of the natural conservation areas in the southern region of East Java, namely the protected forest of Kondang Merak Beach, which serves as a habitat for Javan hawk-eagle to preserve the existence of this species. Therefore, this research aimed to understand and identify the daily activity and feeding behavior of Javan hawk-eagle in the protected forest of Kondang Merak Beach, Malang, East Java. The implication of this research is to provide ecological data for further research and disseminate information to the community to support conservation efforts of Javan hawk-eagle species in the protected forest of Kondang Merak Beach area. The methods used included field surveys, observation of daily activity and feeding behavior, collection of daily temperature data, habitat assessment, disturbance assessment, and interviews. Based on the observation of daily activity, the percentage of perching behavior was 71%, while flying behavior was 29%. The peak flying activity occurred between 9:00 and 12:00. Environmental factors such as temperature, rainfall, and human activities influenced daily activity in the conversation area. The observation of feeding behavior showed that the highest frequency belonged to the category of 23 occurrences, where the peak occurred between 14:00 and 17:00. Furthermore, the activity was affected by nesting seasons and the presence of other raptor species besides Javan hawk-eagle.
