Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with 17,000 islands of varying sizes and elevations, from lowlands to very high mountains, stretching more than 5000 km eastward from Sabang in Aceh to Merauke in Papua. Although occupying only 1.3% of the world’s land area, Indonesia possesses the third-largest rainforest and the second-h...

The study of heavy metal residues in water and fishes were conducted at Karangsong Mangrove Conservation Area, Indramayu. The samples were taken discretely in July 2016 at four stations representing the areas of fish pond, sea water, high density mangroves and low density mangroves. Observed parameters were heavy metals (Hg, Pb, and Cd), water qual...

Key message: Permanent sampling plots (PSPs) are a powerful and reliable methodology to help our understanding of the diversity and dynamics of tropical forests. Based on the current inventory of PSPs in Indonesia, there is high potential to establish a long-term collaborative forest monitoring network. Whilst there are challenges to initiating suc...

The decreasing number of soft-shell turtle and reticulated python in the wild is due to high demand of the animal in local as well as international market. The condition made the Indonesian government set particular collecting and trading quota for the reptiles, but unfortunately, it does not automatically guarantee their preservation. Current coll...

ABSTRACT The Javan leopard (Panthera pardus melas Cuvier 1809) is a highly adaptable species, and therfore it can be found in most land types such as savannah, grassland, shrub, swampy tropical rain forest, steep mountain forest, dry and deciduous forest, coniferous forest, and even in the vicinity of human settlements. However, in occupying their...

A Biodiversity Park is a new concept for ex situ conservation in Indonesia which was first launched in 2012. The purposes of a Biodiversity Park are to conserve indigenous a...

Understanding the effect of altitude on trees and stand attributes of tropical forests is crucial for the development of effective management and conservation strategies. However, study on this issue in Mount Ciremai National Park is still lacking. A total of 136 plots were set on the eastern slope of Mount Ciremai in Mount Ciremai National Park an...

Zona penyangga seringkali ditawarkan sebagai solusi konflik kepentingan konservasi keanekaragaman hayati di kawasan konservasi dengan kepentingan manusia di sekitarnya. Taman Nasional Gunung Merbabu merupakan salah satu taman nasional di Pulau Jawa yang mengalami tekanan dari penduduk di sekitarnya. Salah satu solusi yang akan diaplikasikan adalah...

Lebih dari dua dekade sebaran macan tutul jawa di Jawa Tengah tidak termonitor. Dengan laju deforestasi yang cukup tinggi dikhawatirkan sebaran populasi macan tutul jawa di provinsi ini telah banyak berkurang dan terjadi kepunahan di beberapa lokasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sebaran populasi dan seleksi habitat macan tutul jawa di...

This poster provides a short description about the current distribution of Javan Leopard and predict the possible future extinction it its remaining natural range in Central Java, Indonesia

This poster explains about the habitat suitability of the very rare Javan Leopard in its natural distribution in Central Java, Indonesia

Macan tutul jawa ( Panthera pardus melas Cuvier, 1809) tersebar di Pulau Jawa, Pulau Kangean, Pulau Nusakambangan dan Pulau Sempu. Macan tutul jawa menempati habitat dengan toleransi yang tinggi terhadap iklim dan makanan. Di Jawa Tengah macan tutul jawa hidup di hutan jati (Tectona grandis L.f. ) , hutan pinus (Pinus spp .) , hutan tanaman campura...

Macan tutul jawa ( Pan thera pardus melas Cuvier 1809) merupakan spesies kunci ekosistem hutan di Jawa yang sedang mengalami ancaman kepunahan akibat fragmentasi habitat. Di Provinsi Jawa Tengah 83,84% hutannya merupakan hutan produksi yang dikelola oleh Perum Perhutani dan terbagi dalam 20 unit pengelolaan (Kesatuan Pemangkuan Hutan). Oleh karena...

Untuk menekan laju degradasi hutan mangrove, Perum Perhutani telah menerapkan program silvofishery dengan pola empang parit. Dalam perjalanan waktu, program ini tidak berjalan sebagaimana diharapkan yang ditandai semakin mengecilnya proporsi hutan mangrove dan semakin meluasnya tambak. Hal ini cukup mengkhawatirkan karena menghilangkan fungsi ekolo...
