Parrot conservation has been carried out since these birds are threatened with extinction due to trade and habitat degradation. One of the conservation efforts to protect the population of fauna is in the form of the establishment of an Animal Park which can be managed by both the government and the private sector. One of the animal parks in South Sulawesi is the Bontomarannu Education Park, Sokkolia Village, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi. The purpose of this research, (1) To identify the bioecological aspects of the Cacatua sulphurea population and (2) To establish an Ex-situ conservation development strategy for the Cacatua sulphurea to be further carried out by the management of the Bontomarannu Education Park. Based on the results of bioecological studies and conservation development strategies, there was a change in daily behavior after dividing stheir cages, feeding behavior by giving a variety of feed and their breeding by separating each pair of cockatoos in one cage. The conservation development strategy that has been carried out with the result that several pairs of birds have mated and become a reference for best practice in endemic wildlife conservation efforts so that their habitat is similar to life in the wild and is able to survive and reproduce well.
The Animal park considers have many functions where these can be categorized into conservation, social, and environmental aspects. This study was undertaken in Bontomarannu education park (BEP) is located in Sokkolia Village, Gowa regency. This study assesses the potential of BEP based on conservation, social, and environment aspect as well as determine the potency classification of BEP. The methods used are literature studies, interviews, and field observations. The results revealed that the animal conservation aspect (26,89) and the environment aspect (8,16) played a lesser potency than did the social factor (25,71). The findings indicate that BEP from all aspects had average potential category was at 60,76. All aspects still need to be improved. However, animal conservation and environmental aspects need to get priority in management because they are considered moderate and slight potential, respectively. Meanwhile, the social aspect that focuses on education, research, and recreation has good potential. Implications for management to improve in each aspect. In the conservation, is animal welfare, while in the social aspect, BEP needs to complete the information board on each existing cage, and in the environmental aspect it is necessary to add variety in vegetation to maximize comfort for both animals and visitors.
