Sangihe red shrimp.

Sangihe-red shrimp, bird endemic to Sulawesi, including one new bird species are set in the Red List 2014.

King-type small-sized shrimp that lives only on the island of Sangihe and Talaud officially set to be a new bird species in the study of bird species in Indonesia issued by the IUCN and BirdLife International in 2014.

According to a press release received by National Geographic Indonesia on Friday (12/9), this study, conducted nature conservation organization BirdLife International which has 120 partners around the world, adding to the wealth of bird species in the world a kind 10 425 (ten percent more).

The addition of 361 bird species not-petengger (non-passerine) is now recognized as a new species. Some types are from Southeast Asia, including Indonesia.

"Based on this study in Indonesia there is the addition of at least 48 species that are the result of the separation of pre-existing types, as well as the addition of new types of findings," said Jihad, Bird Conservation Officer in Burung Indonesia, which is a non-profit organization BirdLife International partner in Indonesia .

One of the new types defined in the shrimp-red Sangihe or Ceyx sangirensis. Birds endemic to Sangihe Island, North Sulawesi was originally included in the type-red shrimp, Sulawesi Ceyx fallax. Unfortunately, unlike his cousin in Sulawesi, which has not been categorized as endangered, shrimp-red Sangihe currently threatened with extinction.

Note last encounter this kind was in 1997 and since then has not been recovered. Indonesian Bird Survey in Sangihe Island in 2004-2006 and in 2009 did not successfully meet this kind. A brief look at the Forest Sahendaruman in 2014 also failed to find a shrimp-red Sangihe.

Based on these facts, the study of the Red List 2014, bird inhabits lowland primary forest is designated as a Critical types. That is, this type of one step closer to extinction if no conservation measures as soon as possible.

In Sangihe, lowland primary forests is running out. However, allegedly shrimp-red Sangihe still survive in wooded valleys that are not affordable even in very small amounts.

Because the results of the study were submitted to the IUCN has raised the importance of the preservation of some bird hotspots (areas rich in bird species) that conditions have been threatened.

Sangihe is an important area for endemism and keterancaman because it has a lot of unique types that are not found anywhere else in the world, as well as the type of rare endangered. "Such areas have been designated a priority conservation world, and are in need of immediate conservation action to protect habitat and future critical birds such as shrimp-red Sangihe," said Agus Budi Utomo, Director of Burung Indonesia.

Java.
In Java, a new type of trigger is recognized as the gold Chrysocolaptes strictus-backs (Vulnerable) and king-prawn-blue necklace Alcedo euryzona (Critical) indicates that the world's most populous island is also home to a number of unique types. However, the density of population and the loss of natural habitat on the island is becoming a threat to the existence of new types.

King-prawn-blue necklace is currently recognized as endemic types of Java. While there are similar types in Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo which originally also included in the same type, is now given a new name: king-prawn Alcedo peninsulae peninsula.

"Red List is not only important to help identify the types that need restoration efforts, but also to focus conservation plan by identifying the locations and the key habitats that need to be preserved, including the Important Bird Areas and Important Areas for Biodiversity," said Dr. Stuart Butchart, BirdLife Head of Knowledge science.

Red List of renewables will continue to assist in setting conservation priorities and funding in the future. Thank you for reading this article. Written and posted by Bambang Sunarno. sunarnobambang86@gmail.com
