Dragonflies WILL SPECIES IN INDONESIA

Dragonflies have some unique names in each region. Sundanese people call it papatong, in Java, known dragonfly, coblang, gantrung, or kutrik. People know kasasiur Banjar, and Flores called Tojo. A shocking report comes from the World Dragonflies Association (WDA) or the international community dragonfly lovers based in the UK. Reported, endangered dragonfly in Indonesia.

Environmental changes affect breeding dragonfly in Indonesia. current conditions increasingly difficult to find dragonflies flying in the wild. In the 80s, we still easily see the colony dragonflies in the field, in between shrubs and trees, especially when the summer comes. Dragonflies are also a food chain, and if the population decreases dragonflies will automatically interrupt the food chain the other. If left unchecked it will be predators of dragonflies will be less, while the prey of dragonfly will abound as we all know that dragonflies are predators of insect pests. If dragonflies reduced the pest population in the wild will increase. It is a threat to global agriculture.

Our parents used to still believe the myth, the dragonfly can stop the habit of bedwetting in children. You do this by letting dragonflies bite navel in the abdomen. Never with such confidence? Not only is it a miniature dragonfly nature of desaign aircraft. Dragonflies are insects of the Hemiptera groups.

Today, where we could easily find a dragonfly? According to the Chairman of the Indonesian Dragonfly Society (IDS) Revelation Sigit, a record of the findings by the UN WDA said water conditions are very poor in Indonesia. Though the dragonfly life depends on water conditions.

"In some areas there is water, many not found dragonfly. At Malang, dragonflies Talun not found in or along the Brantas River," he said as quoted from Tribunnews.

The presence of dragonflies is also an indicator of the quality of water, so if the presence of dragonflies diminishing it stands to reason that the quality of water in rivers Indonesia is poor, so it is not able to refute the dragonfly population Notabbane Ninfa during his life on the water.

The presence of dragonflies Indonesia is increasingly alarming. It can be equated with the existence of fireflies are also endangered.

Humanist Prie GS've alluded to this in an event. Mentioned, the Japanese were aware of fireflies have disappeared from the land they were forced to raise fireflies to be deployed again in nature. Is the same thing going, and we are forced to do in this country?

Ironic, there are about 700 species of dragonflies in Indonesia, and 136 types of which can be found in Java. In fact, not many books about dragonflies to better familiarize mosquito larvae-eating animals and pests in this field.

Based IDS notes, study, go to now only two books by the Indonesian people that discuss a dragonfly, yitu "Know Dragonflies" by Shanti Susanti Center for Biology-LIPI published in 1998, and a collection of essays titled "Dragonflies Our Friend" which was published in 2011, the Indonesian Heritage Conservation ago .

Are we too late to save dragonfly from extinction? Never too late if we want to act now. Do not just talk about it but no action. Steps to restore populations of the dragonfly is one of them by improving water quality in rivers in Indonesia. In order for water quality in rivers, the better it is in Ecology and Ecosystem Watershed (DAS) - on the banks of the river banks should be able to guarantee it. Planting trees is the only human effort can do naturally. For that let us Budayakan plant trees around us. DAS is a vast expanse of upstream to downstream areas that are not limited by administrative region. For that is where we are it is a watershed area, so by planting trees around us that we've helped keep kelesarian nature and water quality will be maintained. It also indirectly Indonesia will maintain the presence of dragonflies.
