The environment and forestry minister, Siti Nurbaya, has failed to set a good example of enforcing the regulations. She has allegedly violated her ministry's own regulation against keeping rare animals as pets. Endangered animals in dwindling populations are protected by Law No. 5/1990 regarding the conservation of natural resources and their ecosystems. The law clearly mentions a list of animals that may not be freely kept as pets and sets a licensing mechanism as well as sanctions for violation, the maximum of which is a five-year jail term with Rp. 100 million in fines. The law also allows the ministry to conduct raids and arrest anyone found to possess protected animals without permits. The investigation by this magazine also found alleged manipulation of permits by these officials. Siti, for example, has a captivity permit issued in her daughter's name by the natural resources conservation agency of the West Java province. However, the permit is only for ordinary birds and unprotected Bali myna -- not for green peacocks and yellow-crested cockatoo.
