This role focuses primarily on Indonesia as birds would come from local bird markets. • Insurance population This role contemplates the possibility to maintain a long-term ex situ population to preserve options for the future. It requires demographic and genetic management and it is linked to managed populations in Indonesia. • Research (genetic) Genetic research is needed for the insurance population for the EAZA and the range country populations. • Training (husbandry, veterinary, support and small population management) Training is needed in countries that have Javan green magpie populations and consists of building capacity of aviculturists and veterinarian in Indonesia with the right skillset. • Conservation education Conservation education is aimed at local communities in Western Java (Indonesia). |
