Abstract

Global warming driven by rising greenhouse gas emissions has heightened the need to utilize green spaces as carbon sinks, one of which is the arboretum. This study aimed to determine the potential biomass, carbon stock, and CO₂ uptake of the vegetation in the Arboretum of Institut Teknologi Sumatera (Itera). A combination of destructive and non-destructive methods was applied across 12 plots representing three levels of vegetation density: high, medium, and low. The analysis covered biomass, carbon stock, and estimated CO₂ uptake. The results showed an average biomass of 50.51 tons/ha, a carbon stock of 23.74 tons/ha, and CO₂ uptake of 85.82 tons/ha. The highest values were found in the high-density vegetation area, which had a denser tree population. This study provides baseline carbon stock data for a developing campus arboretum in Sumatra, and concludes that, although the carbon stock of the Itera Arboretum remains lower than that of other arboreta, it nonetheless holds potential as a carbon sink that contributes to climate change mitigation. Practically, these results imply that arboretum management must prioritize intensive enrichment planting in low-density zones and establish permanent monitoring plots to optimize long-term carbon sequestration.

Abstract

Indonesia known for its high biodiversity, is home to various species of wildlife, with 17% of the world's wild animals found in its territory. However, this wealth makes Indonesia one of the major suppliers of both legal and illegal wildlife trade, which threatens conservation efforts. This study aims to identify the potential of wildlife trade, health factors, and the welfare of traded animals. Conducted in Bandar Lampung in February 2022, the research employed direct observation through structured interviews with pet shop owners, as well as document studies. The findings indicate that despite a post-pandemic decline, wildlife trade in the region still holds significant potential. Health factors, such as mouth ulcers in pythons and metabolic diseases in geckos, pose major challenges, although adequate care is provided in these shops. Animal welfare remains a critical concern, as dependence on wild-caught animals from the wild threatens their sustainability. This study emphasizes the importance of implementing sustainable management practices and adhering to existing regulations to ensure the continuity of wildlife trade in Indonesia
