Abstract

Monitoring, managing, and maintaining conservation areas are challenges faced by various parties. The Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) is an application used to measure, collect, evaluate, and improve the effectiveness of location-based monitoring and conservation activities and has been implemented at the Pemerihan Resort, Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (TNBBS). Based on the SMART application, the research aims to analyze the findings of threats and wildlife on active patrol routes. The methods used are documentary studies and field observations. The data obtained from the documentary study is in the form of data from forest patrols for two years (2020-2022), then processed, classified, and analyzed into data on threat findings and wild animal encounter data directly or through signs of presence, which is then verified through field observations. The research results show that the data found from the SMART application during four patrol periods from 2020-2022 consisted of 143 threat findings and 841 wild animal encounters. The highest threat finding was animal hunting, with 56 findings (39%), and the lowest was logging, with three findings (2%). Twenty-three wild animal encounters were found directly or through signs of presence such as tracks, feces, scratches, and food remain. The highest wildlife encounter was the sambar deer (Rusa unicolor). The high threat findings indicate much human activity in the Pemerihan Resort Area, TNBBS, which can disturb wildlife and its habitats.

Abstract

Protected forests are forest areas protected by law to maintain the balance of their ecosystems. The reciprocal relationship between birds and their environment can serve as an indicator of habitat condition, as birds are highly sensitive to environmental changes. The Way Rilau Research Station, situated in Lampung Province, is a protected forest that serves as a habitat for a diverse range of bird species. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to obtain data on species diversity, species richness, species evenness, and bird species dominance. Data collection in this study was conducted using a combination of point-count and line-transect methods. Observations were conducted in the morning (6–9 am) and the afternoon (3–6 pm). The results showed that 76 bird species from 37 families were recorded, totaling 382 individuals. The diversity index (H') value is 3,836, with a high category, and the species richness index (R) value is 13,370, which is categorized as high. The bird species evenness index (E) value is 0.886, which is classified as stable, while the species dominance index (C) value is 0.034, which indicates no species dominates. Based on the bird food guild type, the insectivore group dominates with 55 species (71.05%). The frugivore group with 12 species (17.11%), the carnivore group with four species (5.26%), the next dominance is the omnivore group with four species (5.26%), and the piscivore group with one species (1.32%)

Abstract

Hornbills are birds capable of flying over long distances, ranging approximately from 39 to 55 km. However, habitat loss caused by widespread forest encroachment poses a serious threat to their survival. Modeling to visualize the canopy structure of potential trees can help visualize the stand profile at the Way Rilau Research Station. The aim is to analyze the characteristics of potential hornbill nests in habitats identified as suitable for these birds. The research was conducted from December 2024 to January 2025 at the Way Rilau Research Station (SRWR), FMU Batutegi, Tanggamus Regency. Data collection uses vegetation analysis, including observations, to identify trees within a 20 m x 20 m plot. The data is analyzed using the Spatially Explicit Individual-based Forest Simulator (SExI-FS) software to model and project canopy profiles digitally and analyze dominance across all plots using the Important Value Index (IVI). The vegetation analysis identified 14 families and 24 tree species, including potential nesting trees such as Kepak, Lengsar, Pasang Merah, and Sempur. The highest Importance Value Index in this analysis was Quercus sundaicus (40.96%), followed by Dipterocarpus korthalsii (32.74%) and Corypha utan (25.03%). These results were projected as a stand profile using SExI-FS software to visualize the conditions around potential nest trees and the criteria. Based on these projections, the potential nest trees have larger crowns than the surrounding supporting trees
