Steemian. This morning when I was about to buy fish in the traditional market of Idi Rayeuk, the capital of Aceh Timur District, Aceh Province, Indonesia, I was surprised to see a trader selling Batagur borneoensis eggs at one of the tables in the market. At first I thought that the merchant sold the turtle eggs, the kind of protected animals in Indonesia. When the instinct of my reporter went to work, I rushed to take the Nikon D3300 camera in the bag, then I took the moment dozens of eggs of rare animals that left about 20 items on the table. Batagur borneoensis eggs sold traders there with the price Rp4000 / grain. Traders claimed he obtained the Batagur borneoensis eggs from the fishermen on the coast of East Aceh. "Two days ago approximately 100 Batagur borneoensis eggs we bought from fishermen, now only 20 more shoots again," said the trader while showing the Batagur borneoensis eggs are sold.

Steemian. Tadi pagi saat saya hendak membeli ikan di pasar tradisional Idi Rayeuk, Ibu Kota Kabupaten Aceh Timur, Provinsi Aceh, Indonesia, saya terkejut melihat ada seorang pedagang yang menjual telur tuntong laut di salah satu meja di pasar tersebut. Awalnya saya mengira yang dijual pedagang itu telur penyu, jenis satwa dilindungi di Indonesia. Ketika itu naluri wartawan saya langsung bekerja, bergegas saya mengambil kamera Nikon D3300 di tas, lalu saya mengambil moment puluhan telur binatang langka itu yang tersisa sekitar 20 butir di atas meja. Telur tuntong laut dijual pedagang di sana dengan harga Rp4000/butir. Pedagang mengaku dirinya memperoleh telur tuntong laut itu dari para nelayan di pesisir pantai Aceh Timur. “Dua hari yang lalu lebih kurang 100 butir telur tuntong kami beli dari nelayan, sekarang hanya terisisa 20 butir lagi,” kata pedagang sambil menunjukkan telur tuntong laut yang dijualnya.

To get rid of my curiosity, what does the merchant sell, sea turtle eggs or Batagur borneoensis eggs. I confirm by contacting the Head of the Natural Resources Conservation Center (BKSDA) Aceh Province, Sapto Aji Prabowo. After I explain the size of the egg as big as a table tennis ball to him. The head of BKSDA Aceh, Sapto Aji, observed, the eggs traders sold on the Idi market, not the protected turtle eggs, as I had expected. Because the shape of the egg Batagur borneoensis is smaller than the egg turtle eggs.

Untuk menghilangkan rasa penasaran saya, apakah yang dijual pedagang itu, telur penyu atau telur tuntong laut. Saya memastikan dengan menghubungi Kepala Balai Konservasi Sumber daya Alam (BKSDA) Provinsi Aceh, Sapto Aji Prabowo. Setelah saya jelaskan ukuran telur sebesar bola pingpong kepadanya. Kepala BKSDA Aceh, Sapto Aji, mengatakan, telur yang dijual pedagang di pasar Idi itu, bukan telur penyu satwa yang dilindungi, seperti yang saya duga sebelumnya. Karena bentuk telurnya tuntong laut lebih kecil dari telur telur penyu.

Sapto said, in the coastal area of East Aceh, Langsa City and Aceh Tamiang district found many Batagur borneoensis. "Although Batagur borneoensis marine animals are not included in the category of protected animals in Indonesia, but the sale of eggs should also be limited. Usually the ban on Batagur borneoensis eggs is limited by local government regulations (Qanun), such as in Aceh Tamiang district, "said Sapto.

Kata Sapto, di kawasan pantai Aceh Timur, Kota Langsa dan Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang banyak ditemukan tuntong laut. “Meski satwa tuntong laut tidak termasuk dalam katagori satwa yang dilindungi di Indonesia, namun penjualan telur tersebut juga harus dibatasi. Biasanya larangan perdagaangan telur tuntong laut di batasi dengan peraturan pemerintah daerah (Perda), seperti di Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang,” kata Sapto.

If Batagur borneoensis is not a protected animal in the Republic of Indonesia, what about sea animals whose name is turtle. According to the Head of BKSDA Aceh, Sapto Aji Prabowo, sea turtle species are protected from threat of extinction, it is stated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia, No. 5 of 1990, on the Conservation of Biological Resources and Ecosystems. To know about the law, the steemian can be Read Here and Government Regulation Year 1999 Read Here.

Jika tuntong laut bukan satwa dilindungi di Negara Republik Indonesia, bagaimana dengan satwa laut yang namanya penyu.

According to the source I quote from: http://www.profauna.net. There are six types of turtles found in Indonesian waters, including green turtles (Chelonia mydas), Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricate), turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea), leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), flat turtles (Natator depressus) Caretta caretta). All types of turtles are nationally protected under Law no. 5 of 1990 on the Conservation of Biological Natural Resources and its Ecosystem and Government Regulation no. 7 of 1999. Read more here. So that protected animals are in this beloved Country and we can inherit to our children and grandchildren later. In this post, I invite the community to be able to preserve all protected animals from the threat of extinction.

Menurut sumber yang saya kutip dari http://www.profauna.net: Ada enam jenis penyu yang ditemukan di perairan Indonesia, antara lain penyu hijau (Chelonia mydas), penyu sisik (Eretmochelys imbricate), penyu lekang (Lepidochelys olivacea), penyu belimbing (Dermochelys coriacea), penyu pipih (Natator depressus) dan penyu tempayan (Caretta caretta). Semua jenis penyu tersebut secara nasional telah dilindungi berdasarkan Undang-Undang No. 5 Tahun 1990 tentang Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam Hayati dan Ekosistemnya dan Peraturan Pemerintah No. 7 Tahun 1999. Baca selengkapnya di sini. Agar satwa dilindungi terselemat di Negara tercinta ini dan dapat kita wariskan kepada anak cucu kita kelak. Pada postingan ini, saya ikut mengajak masyarakat untuk dapat melestarikan seluruh satwa dilindungi dari ancaman kepunahan.
