About 1,000
birds on sale illegally at Jalan Pemuda bird market in Tanjung Karang, Lampung
province in Sumatra Island. Birds brought to this place from Sumatra forests
around the province of Lampung.
Scorpion has
checked to some of the shop owners their animals were brought to this market with
coverage of transport document (SATS-DN) from the office of relevant wildlife
authority (BKSDA). Scorpion found, they did not have the SATS-DN of their
animals.
From an observation
in this market last week, Scorpion saw some Nias parrots hidden inside a shop but
the bird is not displayed in the shop. Looks like they already understand that
species are protected by law.
There are five shops at Jalan Pemuda market, each has about 200 birds.
