Abstract

Wildlife conservation is fundamental to mitigating the extinction due to wildlife trade. Thus, various conservation policies have been used as a reference: IUCN, CITES, and Government Policy P.106 of 2018. This research aims to record Facebook-based wildlife trade, identify the traded wildlife conservation status, and estimate the selling price. Data was taken since the group was formed until 1 July 2023. The results reveal that 107 species belonging to 53 families were recorded in 31 trading groups, comprising 82 species of aves, 17 species of herpetofauna, and eight species of mammals. Among those traded wildlife, based on P.106, 80 species are unprotected, while 27 are protected. Based on the IUCN, most traded wildlife is categorized as LC with 77 species. Some species are categorized as CR with four species, EN with 9, VU with 8, NT with 8, and NE with one species. Referring to CITES, 73 species classified as non-appendices dominate the trading groups, followed by 24 species of Appendix II, 9 of Appendix I, and 1 of Appendix III. The estimated selling price of all traded wildlife is approximately IDR 317,125,000. Governments and other conservation bodies must pay more attention to the growing Facebook-based wildlife trade, especially for protected and endangered species.

Abstract

Overexploitation and insufficient conservation efforts have classified Sandalwood (Santalum album Linn.), an economically and ecologically significant species, as endangered. This study investigates the effects of seed size and growing media composition on the germination performance and growth of sandalwood seedlings, aiming to optimise seed selection and media composition strategies for its conservation. We employed a completely randomised design (CRD) experiment, which included three seed size categories (small, medium, and control) and three media compositions: soil and sand alone, soil and sand with chicken manure, and soil and sand with cow manure. Results revealed that the combination of medium-sized seeds and chicken manure (A2B1) yielded the highest fresh weight (0.31 g), while small seeds combined with chicken manure (A1B1) achieved the highest germination speed index (0.63%/day), germination value (0.07%/day), and dry weight (0.07 g). We identified chicken manure as the most effective organic amendment, enhancing soil structure, microbial activity, and nutrient availability. In contrast, cow manure exhibited slower nutrient release, and soil and sand alone hindered root development due to compact soil properties. These findings underscore the importance of nutrient-rich organic amendments and optimal seed selection in enhancing sandalwood germination and growth. This study provides actionable insights for sustainable sandalwood cultivation and conservation efforts. Further research should focus on field trials under variable environmental conditions to validate these strategies on a larger scale.

Abstract

Birds are one component of the ecosystem that has an important role. Because ecologically, birds have a role in spreading seeds, helping pollinate plants and as a bio-indicator or supporting component for environmental quality. This research aims to find out the types of birds that are included in the list of protected bird species based on LHK regulation No.P.106/2018. The method used in this research is a combination of the point count method and the transect method. Data analysis in this research uses Shannon-Wiener analysis, namely to calculate species diversity. The results of the research show that of the 63 bird species found, 7 bird species are included in the list of protected species based on LHK regulation No.P.106/2018 and based on the IUCN conservation status, the bird species diversity index is classified as high. The calculation results show the value (H'=3.498). As time goes by, the diversity of bird species in the Mutis Timau Nature Reserve area will decrease or increase according to the adaptability of birds to changes in habitat conditions due to significant climate change or competition with other wild animals.

Abstract

Mata Air Village Forest Area is located in Kupang Tengah Subdistrict, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Mata Air Village has the potential for high diversity of flora and fauna resources, especially bird species because birds have an abundant number of species, easy to observe and wide mobility, but data related to bird diversity and distribution have not been well documented so there is no information about bird diversity in the Mata Air Village area. This study was conducted to determine the level of bird species diversity in the area. This research was conducted from April to May 2024. The method used in this study was the point count method for bird observation. This study was conducted to determine the level of bird species diversity in the area. This research was conducted from April to May 2024. The method used in this study is the point count method for bird observation. The results showed that the birds found in the Mata Air Village Forest Area were 12 bird species from 7 families with a total of 57 individuals. The types of bird food found in the Mata Air Village Forest Area consist of nectivores, insectivores, granivores, frugivores and piscivores. Bird conservation status consists of 10 Least Concern species, 1 Data Deficient species and 1 Near Threatened species. The calculation results using the Shannon-Wienner diversity index obtained a value of H'2.17 where this result is categorized as moderate diversity.

Abstract

Sandalwood, scientifically known as Santalum album L., is a endemic plant from East Nusa Tenggara with significant economic values. This study aimed to determine the effect of applying liquid organic fertilizer from Golden Apple Snail (Pomacea canaliculata L.) on the growth of sandalwood seedlings. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single factor, consisting of four treatments: B0 (control), B1 (POC 10ml/ltr), B2 (POC 20ml/ltr), and B3 (POC 30ml/ltr), each with three replications. Further testing was conducted using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The results showed that the application of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) from Golden Apple Snail had a significant effect on the parameters of plant height, seedling diameter, number of leaves, fresh weight, and dry weight. These parameters showed the highest significant differences, respectively: 15.200 cm, 5.767 mm, 12.667 leaves, 1.233 g, and 0.933 g in the B3 treatment or the application of POC Golden Apple Snail at 30ml/ltr. Therefore, the golden apple snail liquid organic fertilizer can be used on plants at a concentration of 30 ml/liter.
