Genetic Diversity And Climate Change: Implication For Cockatoo Birds Conservation In Indonesia

The bird\'s population in the nature is being decline. Therefore, several studies have been and are being made as a contribution in the conservation programs to increase the bird population.

Genetic diversity is the basis for population changes through options for genetic changes in the future, and this may increase the chance for the birds to adapt to climate change. This research informs the genetic diversity of Sulfur Creasted Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita) based on mitochondrial DNA sequence data. This information can be used as a basis for these birds conservation action in the climate change Era.Key words: genetic diversity, climate change, cockatoo bird, Cacatua galerita, mitochondrial DNA sequences. </p> <p>Proceeding The 4th International Workshop On “Wild Fire And Carbon Management In Peat-Forest In Indonesia”. 2013</p>
