Javan Hawk Eagle is one of the rearrest raptors found only in Java Indonesia. where it is commonly referred to as GARUDA and locally called Elang Jawa.

The Javan Hawk Eagle is believed to be monogamous and female only lays eggs twice a year and only one egg at a time, in the nest high on top of a forest tree. The diet consists of birds like, lizards, fruit bats and mammals.

The Javan Hawk Eagle is a rare bird, endemic to Java and the bird is endangered. In 2012 there were only325 pairs of Javan Hawk Eagles living in the wild and without conservation, the eagle is predicted to go extinct by 2025.

Until 1986 this species was one of the worlds least known raptors. On January 1993 the Javan Hawk Eagle was declared Indonesia's National Rare/Precious Animal (Satwa Langka National) Immediately the bird became well known to the general public and became in great demand from zoo and malevolent collectors.

In the socio- political context of Javanes desire to keep birds as pets with rare and expensive birds offering means to display one's social status have led to increase in the demand.

In my Indonesia travel, I were delighted and thought of capturing the photos of Javan Hawk Eagle in the wild but ended up clicking it in the Zoo of Solo, Surakarata.
