DENPASAR - The Bali Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) released eight protected animals, including two eagles, which were carried out at the Danau Buyan-Danau Tamblingan Nature Park (TWA), Buleleng Regency.
"Together with partners, we will continue to commit to post-release supervision for the next few months," said Head of the Bali BKSDA Ratna Hendratmoko in Denpasar, Bali, Saturday, as reported by Antara.
The eight protected animals are one brontok eagle (Nisaetus cirrhatus), one bido snake eagle (Spilornis cheela), then two Javan porcupines (Hystrix javanica) and four civet cats (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus roditudus).
The animal was the result of confiscation by the BKSDA and delivery from the community.
Before being returned to the wild, the animal has undergone a rehabilitation process at the Bali Foundation for Nature and Humanity (PPS) and habituation.
The purpose of habituation, he added, is to ensure that the animals released are able to adapt well in their new habitat, so that they can strengthen the population in nature.
In addition, the animals that were released had undergone a health examination process and a study on their habitat suitability.
The TWA Lake Buyan-Lake Tamblingan area was chosen as the release site because it was considered ideal to support the characteristics of the habitat and support the survival of the animals released.
The release of the animals is expected to increase the population of animals in the Buyan Lake-Tamblingan Lake area and be a tangible step in conservation efforts at the local level.
In addition, increasing public awareness and concern regarding the sustainability of nature and the conservation of animals is expected to be involved in activities, especially in supervision.
"Supervision is to ensure the success of release and obtain data on animal adaptation in their new habitat," added Ratna.
The release was attended by the Kelian (Head) of the Tamblingan Village Custom, the Kelian Banjar Tamblingan, the head of the Tamblingan region, the police, the media, and the community-based organization.
