Parrot Survey in Sorong
Through Yayasan Paruh Bengkok Indonesia, we held 4 species of parrots population survey in Sorong regency. It was a project asked by Fauna & Flora International. One of the reasons for surveying these parrots are there are still many illegal trade of Palm cockatoo, Papuan eclectus parrot, Sulphur crested cockatoo, and Black-capped lory happening. Therefore we need to know whether they still in a good population in the forest of Sorong regency, West Papua.
Moyo Island Yellow Crested Cockatoo
With Yayasan Paruh Bengkok Indonesia, we have held population survey for this Yellow crested cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea occidentalis), mapping their natural nest trees, and putting some nest boxes in Moyo Island forest. From the March 2024 survey, the population of this cockatoo in Moyo Island is 51 individuals.
Black Winged Myna Survey in Bali
Since 2021 we helped and accompanied several organizations to do population survey for this endangered Black winged myna (Acridopteres melanopterus tertius) in Bali. This October 2024, the population on the southern part of Bali remains only 11 individuals. Where we did a 3 days survey (morning and afternoon time) on 4 different locations simultaneously. We believe, this population in the southern part of Bali, is the only remaining population which live at the outside of conservation area in Bali.
