Ujung Kulon National Park

One of national park in Indonesia is Ujung Kulon. We can find more than thousand birds from 17 species. This amount of birds is quite increasing since staffs of Ujung Kulon National Park were trying so hard to save them from local citizen's hunting.

Many ways to hunting the birds, such as set a trap or smear mucilage on the tree. Each bird can be sold about Rp 1.5 million - Rp 3 million (about US$ 150 - US$ 300).

The aid not only for birds, but also for other animals, such as buffalo, Javanese rhino, and terrapins.

The pics were taken from here and here.
