Jelita Elang Jawa (Nisaetus bartelsi): Sang Penguasa Langit yang Kembali Mengudara
This book tells the inspiring story of the Javan Hawk-eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi), an endemic and endangered raptor of Java often described as the “ruler of the sky” due to its majestic flight and ecological significance. It documents how a collaborative conservation initiative between PT Smelting and Lembaga Konservasi Taman Safari Indonesia helped revive wild populations through ex-situ breeding, rehabilitation, and release programs, allowing individuals like Jelita to soar again over the forests of Java. The narrative combines scientific information about the eagle’s natural history, threats from habitat loss and illegal wildlife trade, and conservation strategies involving local communities, government agencies, and wildlife practitioners. With rich photographs and educational text, the book also highlights broader themes of biodiversity protection and the vital role of apex predators in maintaining healthy ecosystems.
