REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MALANG -- ProFauna, an animal protection charity in Indonesia recorded that there were three species of eagle being migrated to Indonesia due climate change in Arctic region. The three eagles are difficult to get some food there. 

ProFauna observer, Made Astuti said the three eagles consisted of Alap-Alap China (Accipiter soloensis), Alap-Alap Nippon (Accipiter gularis), and Elang Sikep Madu Asia (Pernis ptilorhynchus).

"It is winter in Northern hemisphere, so the three eagle species looking for warm places to find food," Astuti said recently. 

Accipiter soloensis originally comes from China. The groups, which migrated to Indonesia followed a route from China to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Riau, Jambi, Palembang (South Sumatra), Lampung, Java and then East Nusa Tenggara and Sulawesi. Accipiter soloensis' groups are usually settling in Sulawesi. All of them migrated to Indonesia as tropical country which has many types of foods.
