East Java has become the province with the highest rate of protected animals trading activity. Indonesian Pro Fauna found 183 animals from 25 species of protected animals sold at bird market. Not only endangered birds, they also sold primates, mammals and raptors there. Moreover, Central Java such as Surakarta, Ambarawa and Semarang, have the same rank of illegal trading of the protective animals. All of this happened since the law enforcement is poor, even though Indonesia was famous for its rich fauna. About 515 species of mammals, 600 species of reptiles
, and 15 percent of all insect species in the world, also three quarters of all fish species can be found in Indonesia. Based on regulation No.5/1990 on the conservation of natural resources and its ecosystem, protected animal traders could be jailed for five years and fined up Rp 100,000,000.
