20 Types of Rare Birds in Indonesia Complete with Images - The rare list of endangered animals is increasing in number.

A total of 1,206 species of animals of the total are endangered animals in Indonesia.

Several species of birds in Indonesia are becoming scarce as gradually the number begins to decrease. This is because the number of captured birds is smuggled for sale abroad and also the destruction of forest habitat due to deforestation and forest burning.
If there will be no more birds in Indonesia, will the ecosystem be disturbed? Of course it could happen, but the extinction of birds in Indonesia can be avoided with the conservation of birds, bird cattle, and bird breeding. Therefore, from now on you should not catch birds in the wild again.
