BUDI DAYA
Produksi sarang walet


SURABAYA: Produksi sarang walet di Pulau Jawa sejak 2005 mengalami penurunan 30% per tahun akibat menipisnya daya dukung lingkungan hijauan dan pemanasan global.

Fatich Marzuki, pimpinan Pusat Rehabilitasi Burung Walet di Surabaya, Jatim menyebutkan terus merosotnya produksi sarang walet berlangsung di rumah-rumah budi daya burung pemakan serangga itu. Hal tersebut terutama disebabkan oleh kondisi hutan dan lingkungan hijauan di Pulau Jawa cenderung menipis, sehingga walet kekurangan makanan serangga.

Menurut dia, selama 4 tahun terakhir tingkat produksi sarang walet di sejumlah daerah penghasil sarang burung tersebut di Pulau Jawa mengalami penurunan 30%/tahun. (Bisnis/k22)
