Reference excerpt

Indonesian faunal emblems are Indonesian endemic fauna that gain the status as national animal symbol that represent Indonesia and describe Indonesian biodiversity. Today there are three animals that gained the status as Indonesian faunal emblems: Komodo dragon, Javan hawk-eagle and Asian arowana. Next to national animal symbols, there are also more specific provincial faunal emblems that represent each respective provinces of Indonesia.

Indonesian national faunal emblems Komodo is an Indonesian endemic animal found only in Komodo, Padar and Rinca island within Komodo National Park. The surviving largest lizard on earth is easily recognised as Indonesian national animal. Komodo also becomes the emblem of East Nusa Tenggara province. Elang Jawa or Javan hawk-eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi) an endangered raptor endemic to the mountainous forest regions of Java. The Javan hawk-eagle was chosen because its resemblance to the Garuda Pancasila, the most obvious physical traits is the prominent crest crowning its head and the plumage coloured dark-brownish to chestnut-gold. By Presidential decree, the Javan hawk-eagle was legally registered as considered as the national bird of Indonesia, and thus attributing the endangered species very high protection. Arwana merah (red Asian arowana) is designated as the Indonesian national animal of charm and also national fish. Native to rivers of Sumatra and Indonesian Borneo, Asian arowana is highly adapted to freshwater and usually inhabits blackwater rivers, forested swamps and wetlands. Besides red, Asian arowana has other colour varieties (for example; green, silver and golden) which only can be found in specific geographic regions in Sumatra and Kalimantan.

Indonesian provincial faunal emblems Each of 34 Provinces of Indonesia have their own faunal emblems that represents their provinces. The faunal emblems are:

Meanwhile, Helmeted friarbird (Philemon buceroides) was designated as faunal emblem of ex-province Timor Timur (1976–1999).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of Indonesian faunal emblems

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of Indonesian faunal emblems claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of Indonesian faunal emblems before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of Indonesian faunal emblems ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of Indonesian faunal emblems

In research: List of Indonesian faunal emblems appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of Indonesian faunal emblems in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of Indonesian faunal emblems is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Fauna of Indonesia, Lists of Indonesian fauna, Lists of animals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of Indonesian faunal emblems outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
