The North Sumatra KSDA Center (BBKSDA) of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry carried out the release of 18 protected animals in the Natural Tourism Park (TWA) of Danau Sicike cike, Dairi Regency, on Thursday, October 15,2020.
The animal consists of 2 Greater green leafbirds (Chloropsis sonnerati), 1 Blue-winged leafbird (Chloropsis cochinchinensis), 2 Sumatran treepie (Dendrocitta occipitalis), 4 Fire-tufted barbet (Psilopogon pyrolophus), 1 Crested goshawk (Accipiter trivirgatus), 1 Leopard cat (Felis bengalensis) and 6 slow lorises (Nycticebus coucang).
Head of the North Sumatra KSDA Center, Mrs Hotmauli Sianturi, said that the determination of the Lake Sicike cike forest area to be the release location was based on the consideration of the suitability of the habitat location and the availability of animal feed.
"Besides, the condition of this area is also safe and protected from various human activities," she added.

The six released slow lorises were the result of the handover of the community to the North Sumatra KSDA Center through the YPKSI-ISCP Org after previously being treated at the YPSI Socialization Cage at the Rumah Pilpil village ,sub district Sibolangit.
