In a Single Day, Two Attempts to Smuggle Wild Animals Were Foiled at Two Ports in East Java.

On May 23, 2026, the Surabaya Quarantine successfully foiled an attempt to smuggle dozens of songbirds at Tanjung Perak Port in East Java. The birds were found in the passenger area without official documentation and with no known owner.

On the same day, another smuggling attempt was thwarted at Ketapang Port, East Java. Hundreds of wild birds without proper documentation were successfully seized by the East Java Quarantine Office and the Indonesian Navy as they were being smuggled from Bali to Banyuwangi, East Java, via a cargo truck.

The successful thwarting of these two cases in a single day demonstrates that maritime transport routes remain a target for illegal wildlife trade, while also underscoring the importance of oversight and interagency collaboration in preventing the circulation of illegal wildlife in Indonesia.

Sentences for Perpetrators of Illegal Sumatran Bird Trade Have Increased Over the Past Three Years

Good news from the courtroom! Over the past three years, law enforcement efforts against perpetrators of the illegal Sumatran bird trade have seen a significant increase.

From an average of 9 months in prison in 2023, to 13 months in 2024, and then surging dramatically to 30 months in prison in 2025.

The more than twofold increase in sentencing by 2025 sends a strong message to illegal bird traffickers that there is no longer any place for wildlife criminals, while also offering new hope for the protection of Indonesia’s wild birds so they can continue to live freely in their natural habitats.

FLIGHT deeply appreciates the firm actions taken by law enforcement officials and judges in Lampung in handling cases of illegal wild bird trafficking. The increased penalties are clear evidence that wildlife crimes are no longer taken lightly.

Harsher sentences not only serve as a deterrent for offenders but also provide tangible protection for the conservation of wild birds in the wild. Let us continue to monitor law enforcement to ensure the songs of wild birds continue to echo freely through the forests of the Indonesian archipelago.

In less than 24 hours, two attempts to smuggle birds illegally were successfully thwarted by officials at Gilimanuk Port and Padang Bai Port in Bali. This success once again highlights the prevalence of illegal wildlife trade, which threatens the survival of Indonesia’s wild birds.

On May 14, 2026, the Padang Bai Quarantine Office, the Padang Bai Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA), and the Denpasar Naval Base successfully thwarted an attempt to smuggle thousands of songbirds at Padang Bai Port, Bali. The birds were found being transported in a bus originating from Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), without valid official documentation.

On the same day, a similar smuggling attempt was again successfully thwarted at Gilimanuk Port, Bali. Dozens of wild birds without official documentation were secured by the Gilimanuk Quarantine Office, the Gilimanuk BKSDA, and the Port Security Enforcement Unit (KP3) as they were about to be smuggled from Bali to Surabaya.

FLIGHT appreciates the solid cooperation and synergy among agencies in safeguarding transportation routes from illegal wildlife trade activities. This collaboration is a crucial step in strengthening oversight and preventing the continued smuggling of wildlife, which threatens the conservation of Indonesia’s biodiversity.

Perdagangan ilegal satwa liar tidak hanya mengancam kelestarian satwa di habitat alaminya, tetapi juga merusak keseimbangan ekosistem, meningkatkan risiko penyebaran penyakit (zoonosis), serta dapat menyebabkan kepunahan spesies di alam liar.

Oleh karena itu, tindakan preventif menjadi langkah penting dalam melindungi satwa liar dari praktik perburuan dan perdagangan ilegal yang hingga kini masih terus terjadi.

Pada tanggal 7, 8, dan 10 Mei 2026, FLIGHT bekerja sama dengan BKSDA Sumatra Selatan melaksanakan kegiatan sosialisasi dan penyadartahuan mengenai perlindungan satwa liar, khususnya burung, kepada toko toko burung dan perusahaan bus Antar Kota Antar Provinsi (AKAP) di Palembang, Sumatera Selatan.

Selama tiga hari kegiatan berlangsung, tim melakukan sosialisasi secara langsung kepada para pedagang dan pekerja di loket loket bus AKAP, serta Pasar Burung 16 Ilir.

Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pemahaman kepada pedagang, pengelola loket, dan masyarakat agar tidak memperjualbelikan, menyimpan, maupun mengangkut satwa liar secara ilegal, khususnya menuju Pulau Jawa yang kerap menjadi tujuan perdagangan ilegal satwa liar.

Selain memberikan edukasi mengenai pentingnya menjaga kelestarian satwa, kami juga menyampaikan informasi terkait aturan hukum dan sanksi pidana terhadap aktivitas perdagangan serta pengangkutan satwa liar ilegal.

Kegiatan ini menjadi salah satu upaya bersama untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat dalam menjaga keanekaragaman hayati Indonesia, sekaligus memperkuat kolaborasi antar pihak dalam mencegah perdagangan satwa liar ilegal demi menjaga kelestarian alam bagi generasi mendatang.

Sebanyak 620 ekor burung diangkut tanpa dokumen resmi menggunakan bus antar provinsi menuju Pulau Jawa. Bersama Karantina Lampung, KSKP Bakauheni, Tim Fleet One Quick Response (F1QR) dari Pangkalan TNI AL (Lanal) Lampung dan FLIGHT berhasil menggagalkan penyelundupan tersebut sebelum satwa-satwa ini tiba di pasar pasar burung di Pulau Jawa.

Kini, sebagian burung yang berhasil diselamatkan telah kembali dilepasliarkan ke habitat alaminya bersama BKSDA Bengkulu dan UPTD KPHK Tahura Wan Abdul Rachman. Sementara itu, sebagian lainnya masih akan menjalani proses rehabilitasi sebelum nantinya dilepasliarkan kembali.

A total of 620 birds being transported illegally without official documentation on an interprovincial bus bound for Java Island were successfully rescued through a joint operation involving the Lampung Quarantine Agency, Bakauheni Port Police (KSKP), the Fleet One Quick Response Team (F1QR) of Lampung Naval Base, and FLIGHT Team.

The operation successfully prevented the wildlife from entering bird markets across Java. Following the rescue, a number of the birds have been released back into their natural habitat in collaboration with SKSDAW III Lampung BKSDA Bengkulu and UPTD KPHK Tahura Wan Abdul Rachman. The remaining birds are currently undergoing rehabilitation and will be released once they are deemed fit to return to the wild.

Di Areal Kawasan Taman Hutan Raya Wan Abdul Rachman, Tim Patroli Kawasan Hutan yang tergabung dari UPTD KPHK TAHURA Wan Abdul Rachman, Gabungan Kelompok Tani (GAPOKTAN) dan FLIGHT terus bersemangat menjaga kawasan konservasi.

Selama bulan April, tim mencatat sejumlah temuan terkait aktivitas ilegal di dalam kawasan. Sebagian temuan telah dimusnahkan di lokasi, sementara lainnya diamankan sebagai barang bukti untuk proses penindakan lebih lanjut.

Kami akan mendukung penuh segala upaya yang dilakukan Tim Patroli untuk menindak tegas apabila terdapat pelaku yang melakukan aktivitas ilegal di area kawasan hutan TAHURA Wan Abdul Rachman.

​In the Wan Abdul Rachman Grand Forest Park (TAHURA WAR), the Joint Forest Patrol Team—consisting of UPTD KPHK TAHURA WAR, the Farmers Group Association (GAPOKTAN), and FLIGHT—remains fully dedicated to protecting the conservation area.

During the month of April, the team documented a number of findings related to illegal activities within the area. Some of the items were destroyed on-site, while others were seized as evidence for further legal action.

​We will fully support all efforts made by the Patrol Team to take firm action against anyone involved in illegal activities within the TAHURA WAR forest area.

Pada 2 Mei 2026, kami bersama UPTD KPHK TAHURA Wan Abdul Rachman menerima kunjungan Kepala Balai KSDA Lampung Agung Nugroho, S.Si., M.A ke Pusat Rehabilitasi Burung TAHURA WAR untuk meninjau langsung kondisi burung-burung hasil penyelamatan dari perdagangan satwa liar ilegal.

Kunjungan ini juga sekaligus melepasliarkan sebagian burung hasil penyelamatan yang dilakukan SKSDAW III Lampung BKSDA Bengkulu dan PJR Polda Lampung pada 1 Mei 2026 saat hendak diselundupkan ke Pulau Jawa

Setiap burung yang kami rawat adalah harapan untuk kembali ke habitat alaminya. Mari bersama hentikan perdagangan satwa liar ilegal dan jaga kelestarian alam.

On May 2, 2026, we, together with the TAHURA Wan Abdul Rachman KPHK UPTD, welcomed a visit from the Head of the Lampung KSDA Office, Agung Nugroho, S.Si., M.A., to the Songbirds Rehabilitation Center to personally inspect the condition of birds rescued from the illegal wildlife trade.

This visit also served to release some of the rescued birds that were rescued by SKSDAW III Lampung BKSDA Bengkulu, and PJR Polda Lampung on May 1, 2026, just as they were about to be smuggled to Java.

Every bird we care for represents hope for a return to its natural habitat. Let’s work together to stop the illegal wildlife trade and protect nature.

SKSDAW III Lampung BKSDA Bengkulu, and the Lampung Provincial Police Highway Patrol, with support from FLIGHT, successfully rescued thousands of Sumatran songbirds from a smuggling attempt in the early hours of May 1, 2026.

All the birds were transported in a minibus without proper documentation, departing from Lampung and intended for shipment to Bekasi, West Java.

Currently, after being confirmed healthy, most of the birds have been released into their natural habitats in collaboration with the Bengkulu BKSDA, UPTD KPHK TAHURA Wan Abdul Rachman, and the Farmers’ Group, while the remainder are still being cared for at our center before being released back into the wild.
