--mbak, buk, pak, halo-halo adanggak disini yang bisa bahasa indonesia? Aku orang
kampung nih yang lagi pengen belajar, mau tanya ama orang-orang yang peduli sama yang
namanya lingkungan dan terutama tentang kelestarian burung. Di daerah saya di
Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow, sulawesi utara, masih termasuk Indonesia juga banyak
terdapat burung-burung yang katanya hampir punah dan cuma ada di daerah sini, ada
sejenis burung hantu, nama kerennya katanya ninox.... dan binatang ini seringkali kena
jerat/pukat pemburu kelelawar masyarakat setempat, yang akhirnya menjadi hidangan juga
diatas meja, padahal mereka kan tempatnya di hutan, bukan di meja makan. Sebenarnya
masih banyak jenis-jenis burung lain yang saya tidak tahu nama latinnya, kalau anda
tertarik datang saja kesini nanti liat sendiri dan catat nama-namanya. cepetan sebelum
keburu habis di makan orang. Masih banyak loh binatang-binatang langka yang lain kalau
mau diteliti, oke
windu, Bolaang Mongondow
