Abstract

This study aimed to explore population and condition data on the Sulawesi Water Rat (Waiomys mamasae) from an ethnozoological perspective in five buffer villages surrounding Gandang Dewata National Park. Using a cluster sampling technique, 66 respondents from various professions with direct interaction with river ecosystems were selected, including hunters, farmers, and other individuals frequently active in river areas. Data were collected through questionnaire-based interviews to obtain information regarding the frequency of sightings of this species and its utilization in local communities. The results showed that 50% of respondents had directly observed the Sulawesi Water Rat, while the rest had never encountered it. In terms of utilization, local communities use this species as a protective talisman to prevent house fires, as traditional medicine, and as a source of food. Several local beliefs also describe unique abilities of this species, such as the capacity to walk on water or remain submerged for extended periods. The age distribution of respondents was dominated by individuals aged 35–48 years (32%), followed by other age groups. This study provides important insights into local knowledge and the relationship between communities and W. mamasae, which can serve as an important basis for conservation efforts and ecosystem management in the buffer areas of Gandang Dewata National Park

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the occurrence of the Sulawesi Giant Squirrel (Rubrisciurus rubriventer) in five buffer villages surrounding Gandang Dewata National Park and to evaluate its potential as a biological learning resource. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach through a survey of 66 respondents distributed across Rambusaratu, Taupe, Mambulilling, Tondok Bakaru, and Lambanan villages. The results showed that 92.42% of respondents reported having directly observed the Sulawesi Giant Squirrel, with the highest distribution reported in Rambusaratu and Mambulilling villages. The use of squirrels by local communities is predominantly for consumption (56%), while the remaining respondents either do not utilize the species or are unaware of its use. In addition, validation results of a booklet developed as a learning medium based on field findings indicated a very high level of validity (score ≥ 4.8), suggesting that it is suitable for use in learning activities based on local potential. This study highlights the importance of utilizing local biodiversity to support contextual learning and the conservation of endemic species

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the distribution and diversity of the genus Bunomys in Gandang Dewata National Park. Fieldwork was conducted in July 2025 using live traps placed across several habitat types and different elevation ranges. Data collection was carried out by installing traps along transect lines at locations suspected to be rat movement pathways. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to identify species and describe their distribution patterns. The results revealed the presence of three species within the genus Bunomys: Bunomys penitus, Bunomys andrewsi, and Bunomys torajae. Each species exhibited different habitat preferences. A total of 16 individuals of B. penitus were found at mid-elevations with primary forest vegetation at elevations ranging from 1,588 to 1,912 m above sea level. Nineteen individuals of B. andrewsi were recorded in secondary forest habitats at elevations between 1,509 and 2,154 m above sea level. Meanwhile, B. torajae was represented by eight individuals found in high mountain areas at elevations of 2,561–2,596 m above sea level. These findings provide important information on the distribution of the genus Bunomys in Sulawesi and highlight the role of Gandang Dewata National Park as an important habitat for endemic wildlife. This study also contributes to enriching the limited biodiversity data on small mammals in the mountainous regions of Sulawesi. Further studies focusing on ecological aspects, behavior, and genetic analysis are recommended to deepen the understanding of population dynamics and phylogenetic relationships within the genus Bunomys

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the presence of Paucidentomys vermidax and community perceptions in five buffer villages surrounding Gandang Dewata National Park. The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. Respondents were selected through cluster sampling, involving 66 individuals from various professions who have direct interaction with river ecosystems, including hunters, farmers, and local residents who frequently carry out activities around river areas. Data were collected through questionnaire-based interviews to obtain information on the frequency of species sightings and its utilization by the local community. The results showed that 60.61% of respondents had seen Paucidentomys vermidax, while 51.5% stated that the species is used as a food source by local communities. The level of community knowledge about this species is influenced by their proximity to its natural habitat and by activities closely related to river environments, such as farming and hunting. These findings indicate that the presence of P. vermidax is still recognized by communities living in the buffer areas of Gandang Dewata National Park and reflects the relationship between local communities and endemic fauna diversity in the region. This study provides preliminary information on the presence of Paucidentomys vermidax in the buffer zones of Gandang Dewata National Park and highlights the importance of considering local knowledge and community perceptions in conservation efforts for endemic species in Sulawesi
