White Headed-Stilt, Migratory Bird That Lives in Mangroves

The Eastern Spinach Handle, also internationally known as the White Headed-Stilt (Himantopus leucocephalus), is a migratory waterfowl known for its long, pink legs. These birds are categorized into two groups: migratory and resident. Typically originating from Australia and New Zealand, mobile individuals undertake seasonal journeys to the islands of Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Java during the winter. Conversely, resident populations of this species can be found on the islands of Papua, Maluku, Kalimantan, and Nusa Tenggara. Notably, Himantopus leucocephalus is classified as a “Low Risk” species on the IUCN Red List of conservation status.

Selamat Hari Konservasi Alam Nasional

Hari Konservasi Alam Nasional (National Nature Conservation Day) is celebrated every year on 10 August. HKAN was held to commemorate the importance of nature conservation for Indonesian people. HKAN is also a campaign event that encourages people to care about and participate in efforts to preserve Indonesia’s natural ecosystems. Nature conservation has been practiced since the Dutch East Indies. Since 1937, when the Governor General of the East Indies established a nature conservation unit under the control of the Dutch East Indies colonial administration, environment conservation has existed on Indonesian territory.
