Profauna is addressing the supply and demand side of intra-Indonesia bird trade. Specifically, in North Maluku, people are illegally catching white cockatoo (Cacatua alba) and the chattering lory (Lorius garrulus). Many of these birds are then being sold in East Java to university students, who enjoy parrots as pets. Profauna is conducting an information campaign with the poachers and surrounding communities -- to stop catching these species -- and with the students -- to encourage them to stop buying these specie, as opposed to more commonly available, captive-bred animals.
Strategic Direction:
1 Address threats to high priority species
