Six wild cats, packed in cardboard boxes and ready to be shipped. That’s what authorities found in Medan, Indonesia, after a tip-off about wildlife being sold on Facebook.

The animals? Protected leopard cats locally known as Kucing Kuwuk. One 28-year-old local man was arrested while trying to send all six through a land transport service. The investigators believe this isn’t a solo act, they’re now tracing a possible wider wildlife trafficking network in North Sumatra.

Another case that started online and a reminder that protected wildlife is not a commodity. https://tinyurl.com/mrb7tdaj

English Name: The dark morph changeable hawk eagle
Indonesian name: Elang Brontok
Latin Name: Nisaetus cirrhatus

A medium-sized eagle with large, rounded wings. It appears to have a small head when flying. The name is a little misleading, as there are only two forms of the color, pale and black. Adults form pale dark brown upperparts with a white chest punctuated by dark stripes. Juveniles are much paler, with pure white underparts and slight streaking across the body. The dark form is completely dark with paler outer wing coverts, and can be mistaken for a dark honeycatcher; note the longer wings and sleeker appearance. Inhabits forests, forest edges, as well as parks and large plantations.

The Sumatra Forestry Law Enforcement Agency and the North Sumatra Regional Police Supervisory Agency successfully dismantled an international wildlife trafficking network in Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra (January 15, 2026).

During the sting operation, officers seized seven protected exotic birds and named a man with the initials MF (26) as a suspect. The animals were found in four small cages in the living room of the perpetrator's house, in poor condition and suffering from severe stress.

The confiscated birds included Yellow-crested Cockatoos, King Cockatoos, Molucan Cockatoos, and King Chattering Lories—endemic species native to eastern Indonesia that are protected by law. The Head of the Sumatra Forestry Law Enforcement Agency emphasized that this action demonstrates the government's seriousness in eradicating crimes against natural resources. For his actions, the suspect is being charged under Law Number 32 of 2024, which carries a penalty of three to 15 years in prison and a fine as determined by law.

Stop wildlife trafficking! 🙏😍🌳🦅🦧,protect Indonesia's biological wealth.

Indonesian name: Burung Madu Sriganti.

The Sriganti sunbird is an abundant and frequently encountered sunbird species. This bird is not a protected species. According to the IUCN Red List, it is classified as a Least Concern species.

In the wild, this bird typically inhabits open forest areas from lowlands to mountains. Additionally, this sunbird often lives in plantations, yards, parks, shrubs, and mangrove forests. Its habitat extends up to an altitude of 1,700 meters above sea level. This bird tends to live in small groups and is nomadic. According to MacKinnon et al., this bird moves in small groups and actively forages in the morning and afternoon. Based on research by Nurdin et al., this bird is often found in scrubland and fields.

This bird not only feeds on nectar or flower nectar but also on various types of sugar-rich fruits such as papaya, noni, and dadap. In addition, this bird also eats small insects such as moths, grasshoppers, and small spiders.
The sunbird plays a role in pollinating flowers containing nectar.

Many insects are beneficial to human life, including the beetles and bees in this photo. They act as decomposers and decomposers, including waste decomposers; they serve as aesthetic and tourist attractions, such as butterflies and colorful beetles; they are beneficial in pollination and as plant pests; they are valuable food for animals (birds) and produce honey (from the genus Apis), among others. Besides their direct role, insects also play an indirect role, maintaining ecological balance in nature, as they are part of the food chain, with some bird species relying on insects as their primary food source. However, if their numbers are uncontrolled due to the disruption of the natural balance due to a reduction in insect predators, insect numbers will spiral out of control due to their rapid reproduction. This can be detrimental to agriculture, plantations, and humans directly.

P.S.
We would like to express our special thank you very much to the donors who helped purchase DSLR cameras during Rudi's birthday fundraiser last October.
