Saw Shark, is the World's Rare Animals

A saw shark looks pretty scary. But that does not mean he became ruler of rivers. Facts on the ground shows the population of family members who named Pristidae Latin Pristis Microdon continues to shrink. Shark saws are also popular with the name of stingrays or sharks sentani because it was in Lake Sentani, Papua. People overseas call Largetooth Jawfish which means big-toothed shark.

Fish are spread in Australia, India, Papua New Guinea, South Africa and Thailand are classified as freshwater resident and loves the tropics. Usually they live in large lakes, big rivers or a particular swamp. In Indonesia there are sharks in the river saw Digul Mahakam River (Borneo), and the River Siak River Sepih.

gergaji.jpgMereka shark-like fish prey on medium-sized or a smaller body. The size of the shark's body itself fairly large chainsaw, can reach 6.6 meters. His mouth is covered with sharp teeth powerful enough to paralyze the prey in the blink of an eye. Yet according to some experts, saw the shark's eyes are not too good, and even tend to blur. They rely more on the power of smell is pretty sharp.

His body was relatively slim compared with similar sharks. This causes them to swim with a speed above the average and easily shot chasing prey. This type of shark body color grayish black. Lower body color is more pale or whitish. Quite diverse body color, depending on where their habitat.

Fish with this unique form of muzzle started are difficult to find. So he entered in the list of Red List, the list of protected species because it is threatened with extinction. This fish population declined due to habitat so little of their lives as more and increasing human population. In addition, they are often hunted by fish collectors irresponsibly. Even local residents are often caught because it is considered as a predator other fish.

Rare Plants Flower carcass (Rafflesia arnoldi)

Discovered by Sir entourage Stamfort (governor of East Indi Company in Sumatra and Java) and Dr. Joseph Arnord, a naturalist who conducted an expedition in Bengkulu on May 20, 1818. Both names are perpetuated in the Latin name of this relationship by Robert Brown.

Indonesia overflowing with the incomparable wealth of biological peerless. Forests that lay tens of thousands of islands containing various species of flora and fauna, which sometimes can not be found in other parts of the earth and is one of Mega Biodiversity (biodiversity richness to ecosystem, genetic resources, and a very abundant species). No fewer than 47 types of unique natural ecosystems to the number of flowering plant species already known, as many as 11% or about 30,000 species of flowering plants throughout the world. Unfortunately, many of a particular plant species, extinct.

Until recently, the Center for Plant Conservation, Bogor Botanical Gardens Indonesia Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and the three branches (Cibodas Botanical Garden, Purwodadi, and Bedugul Bali) only collects 20% of the total plant species in Indonesia. Orchid collection is less than 5% in Eastern Indonesia. For this type of durian alone, Indonesia has dozens of species, taro was the type 700, which are all very potential to be developed. According to the existing data base, there are 2 million species of plants in the world and it was 60% in Indonesia. The government now endeavored to save the riches of West Sumatra Natural Resources rare plants that are beneficial to humans through the botanical gardens to multiply efforts, national parks, nature reserves and conservation areas throughout Indonesia.

Can not imagine many kinds of plants or flora in the world. Until this very day many scientists who argue that not all types of flora that are on earth has been recognized.

Like animals, the kinds of flora is determined by its specific environment also called habitat. With human help, some of these plants spread to different parts of the earth, so that there are types that can be found in many countries, and there are unisex which is found only in his native habitat.
Environmental damage that occurred had destroyed many habitats of plants that cause the extinction of plant species specific, so that also influence the lives of animals and people living on it.

Ilmuwan Menyingkap Rencana untuk Direktori Online Kehidupan di Bumi

Para ilmuwan di seluruh dunia mulai bekerja pada apa yang mereka harapkan akan menjadi direktori online menyeluruh semua kehidupan di Bumi, yang dibangun sebagian besar pada upaya pengamat amatir.
Direktori yang akan menjadi sumber bebas yang lain bahwa setiap orang - bukan hanya mereka yang bekerja di komunitas ilmiah - dapat berkontribusi atau menggunakan, mengatakan orang-orang di belakang proyek. Idenya adalah untuk menghubungkan upaya bersama ribuan pengamat di seluruh dunia yang sudah log pengamatan mereka flora dan fauna secara online menjadi satu komprehensif, direktori dicari.
Browser akan secara teoretis dapat mencari informasi mulai dari kode gen hewan, untuk perubahan tutupan hutan global, untuk data taksonomi tumbuhan dan hewan.
Sekitar 400 pakar biologi dan teknologi berkumpul di London, Inggris, pada hari Senin di sebuah konferensi tiga hari untuk mengumumkan pembentukan apa yang mereka sebut "direktori makroskopik" katalog usaha "pasukan para ilmuwan warga negara."
Peserta konferensi, termasuk London's Natural History Museum dan Informasi Keanekaragaman Hayati Global Sarana, akan membahas bagaimana mereka berbagi dan agregasi data penelitian dan catatan.
Konferensi di ibukota Inggris juga akan mendiskusikan bagaimana membangun perangkat lunak yang akan membuat proyek yang dapat digunakan kenyataan.

Aplikasi praktis
Encyclopedia of Life (eol), salah satu database yang mencatat kehidupan di bumi, akan memberikan kontribusi data ke direktori baru. Mereka berjalan eol - didasarkan keluar dari Smithsonian Institute di Washington, DC - adalah salah satu pendukung utama proyek.
"Kami menciptakan dunia maya observatorium bagi keanekaragaman hayati, di mana pengamatan lingkungan, data spesimen, hasil percobaan, dan canggih pemodelan dapat dilakukan di semua tingkat keanekaragaman hayati - dari gen untuk ekosistem," Dr James Edwards, direktur eksekutif eol, kata direktori yang diusulkan.
"Informasi tentang biologi dan distribusi spesies bumi adalah sangat penting untuk ilmu pengetahuan dan kualitas hidup kita. Dan dampak dari informasi yang meningkat sangat apabila terhubung dan dibuat mudah diakses online untuk semua."
Proyek yang sedang berlangsung dapat membantu melacak dampak perubahan iklim terhadap satwa liar atau mengisolasi masuknya invasif spesies tanaman dan hewan dalam lingkungan yang sensitif, mengatakan para pendukungnya.
Proyek ini juga dapat membantu mengisolasi spesies yang memiliki kualitas jamu, mengidentifikasi penyakit dan tanaman tahan kekeringan, dan mengurangi insiden pesawat oleh burung mencolok pemetaan pola migrasi mereka.
Saat ini, elemen-elemen dasar yang belum-to-be-direktori bernama sedang dalam pembangunan.
Sebuah versi awal direktori harus berdiri dan berjalan dalam waktu dua tahun, dan pendukungnya berharap database yang komprehensif akan siap dalam 10 tahun.

Cina, Pengimpor Terbesar Gading Gajah

Selama lebih dari 7.000 tahun, Cina telah pengrajin kerajinan gading gajah.. Disukai oleh rumah tangga Istana sejauh dinasti Qing (1680), gading mempunyai reputasi terkenal dan asosiasi dengan orang kaya dan elit.. Tetapi pada tahun 1989, perdagangan gading telah dilarang di seluruh dunia melalui Konvensi mengenai Perdagangan Internasional Endangered Species (CITES), setelah lebih dari separuh Afrika 1,3 juta ekor gajah rebus dalam satu dekade. Namun, dengan ukiran yang didirikan pada zaman perdagangan dan kelas menengah yang berkembang, untuk pertama kalinya, mampu membeli gading, Cina tetap menjadi pengimpor terbesar.
Seperti ternak berkurang gajah Asia, gajah Afrika telah menjadi satu-satunya sumber dari gading. Pada akhir 2008, mengutip pihak berwenang Cina diperbolehkan untuk tawaran dengan Jepang untuk gading dari persediaan resmi - yang terdiri dari gading yang dikumpulkan dari gajah yang telah meninggal secara wajar - di empat negara-negara Afrika bagian selatan. Dalam sebuah deklarasi terbuka permintaan yang terus-menerus, 12 pedagang Cina membeli 62 ton pada harga rata-rata $ 144 per kilo. Karena pembelian hukum ini, lebih dari 11 ton gading Afrika ilegal telah disita dalam perjalanan ke Cina.
Perburuan gajah sebagian besar terjadi di Afrika tengah, di mana kemiskinan dan ketidakstabilan politik yang luas.. Kronis pengangguran, ketersediaan senjata api dan korupsi semua memfasilitasi perdagangan gading ilegal.. Daerah ini juga rumah bagi pasar gading yang tidak diatur dalam negeri, di mana barang-barang ukiran dibeli dan dijual.. Menurut ahli gading Esmond Martin, mayoritas pembeli adalah Cina. Dalam pertarungan untuk Afrika dan sumber daya mineral, benua baru-baru ini telah melihat masuknya pekerja Cina - sebuah kehadiran yang jelas tercermin dalam ritel ilegal dari gading. Pada perjalanan baru-baru ini ke Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Martin tercatat 1.433 item dari gading ditampilkan secara terbuka di jalan-jalan utama kota dan pasar sentral. Di antara mereka ada 149 pasang sumpit gading berukir segar, jual sebesar $ 16 masing-masing - dalam kontras yang tajam dengan harga eceran Cina sebesar $ 139 - stempel dan tanda tangan dan perhiasan. Semua item ini cukup kecil untuk berpotensi menyelundupkan lewat bea cukai.
Martin sebelumnya telah memperkirakan bahwa 4.900 hingga 12.000 gajah dari Afrika tengah dibunuh setiap tahun untuk memasok gading ke pengrajin Afrika, Cina dan Thailand.. Konservasionis yang sangat prihatin. Menurut Barbara Maas, CEO Care for the Wild International: "Dengan jumlah penduduk negara Cina di Afrika meningkat, dan perburuan liar di meningkat, garis depan antara penawaran dan permintaan terhadap gading sekarang nyaris, dengan hasil malapetaka bagi gajah .

Type of Protection of Flora and Fauna

Understanding / definition of nature reserve is a protected place in both plants and animals living in it that can later be used for various purposes in the present and future. Examples: west end of the nature reserve, nature reserve kambas way, etc..

3. Forest Protection
Forest protection is a protection provided to the woods to stay awake from damage. Example: protected forests, jungle tours, jungle hunt, and so forth.

4. National Park
National parks is the protection given to a broad area that includes tourism facilities and infrastructure in it. Lorentz national park, komodo national park, Mounth Leuser National Park, etc..

5. Marine Park
Marine park is a marine protected by law as a technique to protect its sustainability efforts with the form of nature reserves, wildlife reserves, theme parks, etc.. Example: bunaken marine park, Taka Bonerate marine parks, marine parks PANTAR straits, Togean marine park, and many other examples.

6. Zoo / Botanical Garden
Botanical garden or zoo is a protection which is used as the location where the object of research or tourist attraction that has a collection of flora or fauna that are still alive.
