Method:The study was conducted in the maleo bird conservation area of PT. Panca Amara Utama in Uso Village, Batui District, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, from August 2016 to December 2018, by using 10 1-day-old maleo birds. Variables observed included cloaca morphology, macrocephalon and estrogen hormone concentration. Results:The cloaca of Maleo birds has a difference. The difference is in the protrusion on the top of the cloaca. The male Maleo birds have a protrusion in the cloaca while the females do not have it. Organs in the form of protrusion in the cloaca are thought to be a sign of male sex. There are differences in shape and size between the male and female macrocephalon, the males have about 3.96 ± 011 cm width in average with rounded shape while the females have about 3.20 ± 0.10 cm width in average with oval shape.

The triumphs, challenges and failures of young North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli): a study of behaviour, growth, dispersal and mortality Stephanie Walden A thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Alexandra Louise Wilson 2013 i ii Abstract North Island brown kiwi (NIBK, Apteryx mantelli), an endemic New Zealand species, are estimated to have declined by 90% from pre-human colonisation numbers. Currently, at least 60% of mortality is attributed to introduced mammalian predators, namely stoats (Mustela erminea) preying on chicks. Therefore, conservation effort focuses on predator trapping/killing, and hatching and rearing NIBK chicks in captivity and releasing them back into the wild. These efforts are resulting in increased recruitment of chicks into populations. However, little is known about the biology and behaviour of NIBK chicks in the wild and how this may affect management of these populations. Consequently, the aim of this study was to examine the ecology of young wild NIBK in a natural high density population with reduced predator diversity on Ponui Island. More specifically, the goal was to determine their growth rates, behaviour around the natal nest, dispersal and mortality, and how these factors may be influenced by environmental variables. During the 2010 - 2011 and 2011 - 2012 breeding seasons 29 young NIBK were observed from hatching until mortality or the end of 2012.

This Regulation also concerns domestic transfer and possession of specimens, alive or dead, of animal and plant species cited in Annex 1. The first and second subparagraphs also concern parts of products that are prepared from or declared as prepared from such species. Hunting trophies are also considered to be dead specimens/ products. Hunting trophy means the whole or recognisable parts of animals, either raw, processed or produced.

Revision accepted: 28 March 2011. ABSTRACT Rusiyantono Y, Tanari M, Mumu MI (2011) Conservation of maleo bird (Macrocephalon maleo) through egg hatching modification and ex situ management. Biodiversitas 12: 171-176. Over exploitation of maleo bird eggs has become the main problem. In addition, habitat demolition and fragmentation have also caused decrease in maleo bird population. This research aimed to know the effectiveness of hatching pattern to produce maleo breeding, studying breeding pattern of maleo bird through hatching approaches of feed quality and temperature adjustment, and studying maleo bird respond towards caring pattern adjustment by measuring plasticity value. There were two phases in this research. The first phase was hatching by using modified incubator. The other one was the caring of the breeding from the result of hatching through feed pattern management using protein and energy balancing. The results of the research indicated that the hatching success was 65%; however, life endurance of the birds from birth to one month of age was only 40%. Their growth showed sufficiently high increase after passing critical period in their body-weight based on feeding pattern containing 21% of protein that was 64.93 g and 62.59 g for maleo in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP) and Bangkiriang Wildlife Reserve (BWR), respectively.

    Conservation of Endangered, Endemic Megapode Macrocephalon maleo S. Muller, 1846 in Lore Lindu National Park, Indonesia: Strategy in Selecting Nesting Pit Asya Putri, Herditha (School: Al-Azhar Mandiri Palu Senior High School) Triana, Nabila (School: Al-Azhar Mandiri Palu Senior High School) As a students from Celebes (Indonesia), we are interested about an endemic bird which are called Maleo. Maleo senkawor (Macrocephalon maleo S. muller, 1846) is an endemic animal from Celebes that include in the list of bird as an endangered category by International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Maleo is monotypic, so its only found in Celebes especially in Lore Lindu National Park, which is a protected area and included in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves from UNESCO. The objective of the project is to study the ecological behavior, and factor affecting Maleo’s survival for better conservation strategy. The ecological behavior observation was conduted from habitat of Maleo to selecting nesting pit for breeding. As a burrow nester, Maleo make nest hole to place their egg until it hatched in ± 65 days for the chick to strive out to the surface and furthermore will manage their self (precocial) and its need a geothermal resources. The laying egg behavior in leaving the nest hole, frequently makes the eggs threatened from the predators and the hatch failure. The result of research found that Maleo behavior in selecting the nesting pit, which is suitable with their needs and the design of nest hole in some conditions. Temperature for egg nesting appear to be one of critical factors and therefore it is necessary to protect area near the hot spring as nesting pit.

Opening of the meeting The Chair opened the meeting and welcomed all participants, before giving the floor to the Secretary- General, who also welcomed everyone and introduced new members of the Secretariat's scientific team (Mr De Meulenaer and Ms Kwitsinskaia) and enforcement team (Ms Garcia Ferreira, Ms Jonsson and Mr van Rensburg). He wished the Committee well in its deliberations. The Chair thanked the Secretary-General and invited suggestions as to how the Conference of the Parties could establish stronger measures to support the Committee as well as export countries, which deserved particular assistance. No other intervention was made during discussion of this item.1 2. Rules of Procedure The Secretariat introduced document AC26 Doc. 2 and proposed amending Rule 22 as follows: “On request, the Secretariat shall distribute printed and translated documents...”. The Secretariat explained that most members regularly indicated that they did not need printed copies and that this proposal was made to reduce costs. Although not opposed to the change in principle, a Party regretted that the suggestion had not been presented in the document, which would have given Parties time to consider it, and was concerned that this unannounced proposal might create a precedent. Another Party asked a question on the procedure to accept observers, but the Chair invited it to raise this topic under agenda item 4 on Admission of observers.

Despite decades of Participatory protection under Indonesian law and numerous field conservation efforts, no conservation pro­ Benefits jects have yet documented a recovery in local numbers, and the overall maleo population con­ Predation ’ Low-intervention tinues to decline. We aimed to test whether the maleo s decline could be reversed in two community-based conservation programs in the Tompotika region of Central Sulawesi, in which maleo eggs were left undisturbed in situ and egg-taking (poaching) by humans ceased by community agreement.
