"This form of synergy needs to be continued and improved in the future, of course we hope that there will be no more illegal acts against endemic Papuan wildlife," he hoped.

According to him, Papua's nature is so rich with flora and fauna, for that it must be protected and protected by all parties, including the community.

Ending his statement, Edward again reminded all parties about the obligation to protect Papua's endemic wildlife, before they become memories.
 
"We take care of nature, then nature will take care of us because we are part of nature," he concluded.
 
On the other hand, the Animal Lovers Community represented by Rian Chandra to Tribun-Papua.com expressed his gratitude for being able to participate in protecting wild animals that are protected by law.

"I'm also happy, because people are starting to have an awareness of handing over the Cenderawasih Birds alive, to the authorities, so they can be released into the wild," he explained.

He also hopes that in the future more people who have the same awareness will help protect the endemic wildlife of Papua, so that everything is safe in their natural habitat.
