We hear that the Bali Starling breeding birds are almost “Extinct” This has been successfully performed by the San Diego Zoo and the Japanese. Even recently, Japan has donated another 24 to produce tail Bali Starling in-Indonesia and TNBB get 10 fish quota.

Bali Starling bird breeding center which is managed by the Office of TNBB, done Tegal Bunder Postal sector. Bali Starling breeding facility that is almost extinct, which also has become an international concern, it seems inadequate, even a veterinarian visit very erratic.

In addition to fauna, in TNBB there are also several types of unique flora, it is said there are only there only, like a thorn tree Crocodile Panggal like the back of a crocodile. This wood is favored by sculptors Ubud, because the groove wood is a rather unique and mystical nuance, but this tree is protected.

Trees “lianas” vines or by a resident called the “tree garden” which is no less unique, shaped like a spiral and braid, also highly sought many people to picture frames, this tree is also protected. Tree Sawo Kecik (Manilkara kauki), which is increasingly rare-dibudi also empower the TNBB. According ceritra, fruit Sawo Kecik highly favored by women, especially royal women, supposedly because of properties that can cause a smell that “Seductive” in the body.

Post Red Light is the last post you can visit and who were also heading off the coast, only 2.8 kilometers away to the mainland island of Java. Name strangely enough it was taken from the existence of Lighthouse that emit color light reddish.

From aircraft passenger about 15 people, you’ll see a group of atolls which is very beautiful.

After that, you will be bring to the Island Villifushi using speed boat, because the aircraft may only resort decent landing a distance from Villifushi.

Although you will be greeted by a fairly blistering hot weather, you should not miss fishing activities. Because fishing in the waters of this island is very easy, no skill. While you place your bait with a barge, you can get a fish with a fairly large size. And fresh fish can be found if you directly.

Another case in Dhaaru, locations with a population of around 1500 people, the facilities at this place practically ordered enough with slick, modern and clean. There are western lifestyle in this place.

So do not be surprised if this place you will be treated to a variety of foods that you’ve probably never felt like a piece of tuna fish, boiled without skin and bones and is only eaten with fresh chili and lime

Well, if you include people who like the challenge, you can use to return to Male dhonny with tempuah time approximately 12 hours. We left the cluster of Islands Atoll, your eyes will only see the expanse of blue ocean, communications equipment such as mobile phones you also can not use because there’s no signal.
