Be sure to mention the following points in your letter:

• Demand the Republic of Indonesia government to stop parrots smuggling to the Philippines by conducting confiscation operation in North Halmahera dealers and improve the patrol of marine boundaries between Indonesia and the Philippines and the route used for wildlife smuggling from Indonesia to the Philippines.


• Urge the Forestry Ministry of Republic of Indonesia to control, investigate, and seize protected wildlife, especially parrots, from traders in the animal markets in Surabaya and Pramuka market in Jakarta.


• Recommend the Forestry Minister to raise the protection status of White Cockatoo (Cacatua alba) many of the species are caught for trade and the mortality rate in parrot trade is very high. Nevertheless, white cockatoo is not protected.
