Causation

They work as the predator of small mammals in the food chain.

They are facing large ecosystem loss.

This is very much connected to deforestation as it may lead to big problems in habitat. Wether fresh air, flood, etc.

Short Description

Common name: Elang Flores (bahasa) / Flores Hawk - eagle Scientific name: Nisaetus Floris Type: Raptor of family Accipitridae Diet: Carnivore Size: 75cm - 79cm Form: Small marks on their, crown. White furs in chest, belly, and legs, with a brown tail with a white edge.

Info

EcOsystem

The Flores Hawk-Eagle only lives in Indonesia, more specifically in Flores Island. They live in the lowland rainforests. For protected areas, they have shelter in the Taman Nasional Kemutu. Additionally, they locate in Lombok too. However, it also says "Flore Hawk-Eagles don't highly damage our ecosystem" It may be because they live in trees and don't bother the ecosystem.

Info

Adaptation

The Flores Hawk-Eagle only lives in Indonesia which makes it critically endangered. But they have the privilege of flying all around the Island. Flores Hawk eagle's are also big and sharp eyes just like any other eagles, and are fast flyers. Flores Hawk Eagle's also lives in trees which makes it harder for hunters to kill. From the picture they also have white furs which surprisingly helps them fly secretly. they also have brown fur on the sides which gives them camouflages with trees.

feeding/Diet

Flores hawk-eagle has a habit of feeding on small mammals, such as chickens, lizards, birds. No other animals are predators to Flores hawk Eagles. They are the Predators of the Flores Rainforests.

Info

Threat

Their biggest threat is Ecosystem loss. Flores Hawk-Eagle only lives in Flores, and they don't have enough space to live. First, they are facing cautious Ecosystem degradation and rarely recorded. With the very high endangerment status living in the wild will be hard to track. What about protected areas? You may ask. According to a scientist, they are too small for Flores Hawk-Eagles, which leaves them to live in ranges so they can be tracked.

solution

To reach people's attention is not easy as we will need help from the algorithm. What I think we can do is raise awareness on social media. Lots of people are now on there especially while staying at home. We can have people be aware of this and maybe petitions to help save their ecosystem. To open their eyes more we will need some great facts about the animal.

As we live in Indonesia our leader would be the President. Were obviously not the president and it is hard to get to him I think it's. best to set a campaign. A campaign about saving our rainforest. Indonesia has lots of beautiful rainforest we should protect. After the president we also need our Ministry of Environment to give them maximization of cutting the trees, provide bigger shelters, etc.

Thank you!
