Javan hawk Eagle has a medium body shape, well-built and feathery. Maximum size can reach 60 cm, with the characteristic of the crest that towering up and black. Dark dorsal fur, reddish brown head feathers, and vertical scratch in the throat. On the chest there is a black horizontal line set in white. Javanese eagle flew by rounding its wings, bending up like a 'v' with black stripes on the edge of its wings.

An Indonesian endemic, the Javan hawk-eagle occurs in humid tropical forests of Java. Its range in East Java includes Sempu Island, Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, Meru Betiri National Park and Alas Purwo National Park. It can also be seen in captivity in zoos like Kebun Binatang Bandung[4]

It is one of the rarest raptors. Due to ongoing habitat loss, small population size, limited range and hunting in some areas, it is evaluated as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In February 2012, there were only around 325 pairs of Javan hawk-eagles living in the wild, mainly in Malangbong, West Java and some in East Java. In Central Java, Mount Merapi has been deforested by eruptions and Dieng Plateau has been deforested by agriculture. The adaptation of the bird is very difficult due to their preference for Rasamala trees and Javanese rats for their diet. Without conservation the eagle is predicted to go extinct by 2025.

Javan hawk eagle lives by pairing and reproducing when entering the age of 3-4 years. In addition, Javanese eagles also include monogamous animals, which only live with one partner for life. The breeding season of Javan hawk ranged from May to September, and active nest from January to June. But in fact the Java eagle can reproduce throughout the year. But not everything can hatch, because the eggs can also be preyed on other animals or deliberately taken humans.
