Abstract

Exploitation freshwater turtle for local consumption, medicine, and pet in several parts in Asia caused the declining populations in the wild. The purpose of this study is to evaluate of turtle harvest that listed in Appendix CITES in South Sumatra and Central Borneo. We reported the trading network of the three most exploited turtle species in South Sumatera and Central Borneo. We visited the largest middleman in the two provinces and collect the data that comprises the harvest number, prices, trade flow, catching area, and the level of harvest for local consumption. During our survey in Sampit (Central Borneo) (one week in April 2019), we recorded 667 kg of turtles were sent to a middleman and harvested from Jemaras and Sembuluh district. This amount comprises 549 individuals of Cuora amboinensis, 173 Siebenrockiella crassicollis, and one individual of Cyclemys dentata. Contrary to that, in Palembang, we did not find any delivery of turtle from the hunters. However, 387 individuals of C. amboinensis and 132 individuals of S. crassicollis were found in a middleman pool. We also recorded that local people in Central Borneo consumption of turtle meat. The national quota of C. amboinensis in Central Borneo and South Sumatra are 1700 and 2000 individuals for 2019. The national quota of S. crassicollis in South Sumatra is 500 individuals, while Central Borneo does not have any quota for this species. The realization of these wild-caught turtles indicates an over harvesting beyond the annual harvest quota. Moreover, the two middlemen are indicated to carry illegal carapace trading, although the scientific authority recommended to ban the carapace trade.

Abstract

Effective waste management remains a problem in Senden Village, especially regarding waste sorting. This issue encourages the KKN UNS 150 2024 team to conduct education related to waste management in the form of community service. The aim of this activity is to raise public awareness about the importance of effective and sustainable waste management and to encourage creative innovations in waste utilization. The method applied includes outreach and hands-on practice. The community service activities carried out include training on making candles from used cooking oil, the Merah Putih Environment Challenges, and socialization on the introduction of the 3Rs. The training on making candles from used cooking oil is aimed at the PKK mothers in Ngabean Hamlet. The result of this activity is the community's skill in processing used cooking oil waste into aromatherapy candles. The Merah Putih Environment Challenges activity targets a larger scope, specifically the mothers in Ngabean Hamlet. The outcome of this activity is the creation of handicrafts from inorganic waste. The socialization on the introduction of the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) is directed at the students of SD Negeri Senden 2. This activity effectively enhances students' understanding and awareness regarding proper waste management. The conclusion of this community service activity is that the residents of Senden Village, particularly those in Ngabean hamlet, are expected to have a good understanding of waste management and be prudent in handling it.

Abstract

The fanged frog, Limnonectes kuhlii, exemplifies the complexity of cryptic species. Though originally described from Java, subsequent studies indicate that L. kuhlii encompasses multiple lineages, suggesting the presence of several undescribed species. Suspecting the existence of multiple undescribed species within the L. kuhlii complex in Sumatra, we collected 17 specimens from Java and Sumatra. We extracted the 12S, tRNAval, and 16S mitochondrial DNA from these specimens for phylogenetic analysis using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference methods and for estimating time divergence. Our findings uncovered two novel diversity within the L. kuhlii complex both in Sumatra and Java. Furthermore, our estimation of time divergence suggests that the diversification of L. kuhlii in Java and Sumatra was influenced by geological and climatic events, including landmass emergence and sea-level fluctuations. In conclusion, our research provides critical insights into the evolutionary complexity and diversity of the L. kuhlii complex in Sumatra and Java. While our molecular evidence suggests novel diversity, further comprehensive morphological studies are imperative to confirm and describe these potential new species. Furthermore, additional sampling across its range and deeper investigations integrating both molecular and morphological data are crucial.
