Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornis Cheela) is seen inside its enclosure at Kamojang Eagle Conservation Center, on July 28, 2022, in West Java Province, Indonesia. More than 300 protected eagles are kept in the rescue shelter trying to reduce Indonesia's rampant illegal trade in wildlife and to help these caged animals regain their natural instincts to allow their return to the wild. The Conservation Center has obtained the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) standard and has released 22 out of a total of 307 Javan hawk-eagles that have been conserved since 2014. The background of this program is the fear of Javanese Eagle extinction. Currently, its population is only 108 to 542 birds, due to hunting and animal trading. Yearly data shows that Javanese Eagle illegal trading has reached 30 to 40 birds.
