1. CENDRAWASIH
Cendrawasih or paradisoaeidae apoda, minor, Cicinnurus Regius, and seleudicis melanoleuca is typical of birds of Papua Province. Of the 43 species of bird of Cendrawasih, 35 of them can be found in Papua. The peculiarity of this bird found on the beautiful feathers. And in this beautiful feathers possessed by male birds of Cendrawasih alone. Well, usually the colors are very bright plumage with a combination of black, brown, reddish, orange, yellow, white, blue, green and purple.These birds usually live in thick forest or in the lowlands.

By communities in Papua, birds of cendrawasih an angel can not be trusted as a bead or Apoda footed, bird-legged lovely but did not, because they walk or just perched on a branch only. Bird of Cendrawasih was once the population is quite a lot in the jungle of Papua, but because it continues to be hunted, ultimately this bird populations declined sharply and increasingly difficult to find. Not only hunted, but also the proliferation of increasingly narrow habitat for many forest felling.
2. ORANG UTAN
Orangutans other names are Mawas is a kind of great apes with long arms and reddish or brown fur, which live in tropical forests of Indonesia and Malaysia, particularly in Kalimantan and Sumatra.Orangutans are found in tropical rainforest areas of Southeast Asia, namely on the island of Borneo and Sumatra in Indonesia and Malaysia the country. They usually live in dense trees and make nests of leaves. Orangutans can live in various forest types, ranging from dipterokarpus forest hills and plains, basins, freshwater swamp forests, peat swamp, dry land above the mangrove swamps and palm, to the mountain forest. In Borneo, orangutans can be found at an altitude of 500 m above sea level (asl), while relatives in Sumatra were reported to reach the mountain forest at 1,000 m above sea level.
Orang Utan Locations and Habitats
Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii lesson) is one of the endemic animals that exist only in Sumatra. Orangutans in Sumatra occupies only the northern part of the island, ranging from Buck Elephant, Central Aceh until Sitinjak in South Tapanuli. The existence of these protected mammals Law 5 / 1990 on Conservation of Natural Resources and Ecosystems and classified as Critically Endangered by IUCN. In Sumatra, one population of orangutans found in the river basin (DAS) Batang Toru, North Sumatra. The population of wild orangutans in Sumatra is estimated to number 7300. In the Batang Toru 380 Population density tail with approximately 0.47 to 0.82 chickens per square kilometer. The population of Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii lesson) is now estimated to 7500 individuals. Whereas in the era of the 1990s, an estimated 200,000 heads. Their populations are in 13 separate geographical regions.
This condition causes the survival of their increasingly threatened with extinction. Currently almost all Sumatran Orangutans are found only in the province of North Sumatra and Aceh province, with Lake Toba as the southernmost limit of its spread. Only 2 relatively small population located in southwestern [[lake], namely East Sarulla and forests in the West Batang Toru. [10] the largest orangutan population in Sumatra, found in the West Leuser (2508 individuals) and East Leuser (1,052 individuals ), and Swamp Singkil (1,500 individuals). Other populations the estimated potential to survive in the long term (viable) contained in Batang Toru, North Sumatra, with a size of about 400 individuals.
Orangutans in Borneo that are categorized as endangered by IUCN is divided into three subspecies: Orangutans in Borneo are grouped into three types, namely Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus located in the northern part of the Kapuas River to the northeast of Sarawak; Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii found starting from the south of the River Kapuas to the western part of the Barito River, and Pongo pygmaeus morio. In Borneo, orangutans can be found in Sabah, Sarawak, and nearly all the lowland forests of Borneo, except South Kalimantan and Brunei Darussalam.
Causes of ExtinctionOrang Utan, one of the wildlife that has this high level of intelligence, is now on the verge of extinction, like the Javanese eagle. Primates that live in the forests of Borneo and Sumatra, according to some experts estimate, the orangutan will be extinct within ten years if no action to prevent it. From day to day is steadily decreasing due to human activities (see Causes of Extinction Wildlife / Endangered Wildlife). Illegal trade is one of the biggest causes of extinction of this species. In theory, orangutans on Sumatra has been protected by legislation since 1931, which prohibits to possess, kill or capture the orangutans. But in practice, the hunters still hunt them, mostly for animal trade. In international law, orangutans included in Appendix I of CITES list (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), which prohibits trading by considering the conservation status of these species are the wild-free. However, there is still a lot of demand for the baby orangutan, whether it is local demand, nationally and internationally to serve as pets. Son of orangutans is very dependent on its mother for survival and also in the process of development, to take the child from the parent orangutans to be killed. It is estimated that, for every baby who survived the arrest and transportation represents the death of an adult female orangutan.According to data from the WWF website, orangutans are estimated to have occurred importing into Taiwan as many as 1000 larvae that occurred between 1985 and 1990. For every orangutan that arrived in Taiwan, then there are 3 to 5 other animals that die in the process.Orangutan trade reportedly also occurs in Borneo, where orangutans were either dead or hidaup also remained unsold.
