Abstract

Rawa Aopa is a permanent swamp ecosystem that serves as one of the suitable habitats for amboina box turtles (Cuora amboinensis). Some of the area is part of a national park (Rawa Aopa Watumohai National Park) and is designated as a traditional zone for fishing activities, where local fishermen sometimes reported accidental catch C. amboinensis in their fishing gear. The aims of this study were to record the existence of C. amboinensis bycatch, size and age structure of bycatch, characteristic of fishing activity, and to discuss the conservation implication of bycatch.  The number of bycatch was recorded by direct observation of 7 selected fishermen in 14 days. The C. amboinensis caught accidentally were measured and weighed. A total of 38 individuals of C. amboinensis were accidentally caught by fishermen during the study, having a size ranged of 7.4 to 18.5 cm (juveniles, young adults, and old adults; no hatchling), and weighed 248 to 996 g. Based on sex, there was no significant difference between morphological size of male and female, although bycatch for females (59%) tend to be slightly higher than males (41%). Most of fishermen lives in Pewutaa Village and used bubu traps to catch fishes. C. amboinensis are the most common bycatch compared to other species. In order to minimize the impact of bycatch of the C. amboinensis by fishermen, we need to ensure that the turtle that accidentally trapped in the fishermen’s fishing gear would be released unharmedly to their habitat.

Abstract

Keberadaan penting penyu dalam menjaga keseimbagan ekosistem laut dan potensi ekowisata pantai peneluran penyu perlu dijamin keberlanjutannya. Penurunan populasi penyu beberapa tahun tarakhir yang di akibatkan oleh kerusakan habitat pantai peneluran akibat abrasi pantai dan gangguan habitat penyu bertelur oleh kegiatan antropogenik telah terjadi di Kawasan Konservasi Penyu di Kecamatan Paloh, Kalimantan Barat. Agar pengelolaan Kawasan Konservasi Penyu di Kecamatan paloh dapat berlangsung secara berkelanjutan, maka perlu mengimplementasikan konsep pembangunan berkelanjutan melalui pelestarian habitat pantai peneluran penyu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis status keberlanjutan pengelolaan Kawasan Konservasi Penyu di Kecamatan Paloh, Kalimantan Barat, dan menganalisis faktor-faktor penting yang mempengaruhi keberlanjutan pengelolaan Kawasan Konservasi Penyu Di Kecamatan Paloh, Kalimantan Barat. Metode analisis yang digunakan ialah Multiaspect Sustainability Analysis (MSA). Hasil yang didapatkan dalam bentuk indeks dan status keberlajutan. Hasil analisis terhadap empat dimensi menunjukan bahwa dimensi usaha konservasi sangat berkelanjutan (95.29), dimensi sosial berkelanjutan (75.17), dimensi ekonomi kurang berkelanjutan (49), dan dimensi hukum dan kelembagaan berkelanjutan (68.67). Terdapat empat atribut/faktor yang perlu segera ditangani dan perlu diintervensi karena berpengaruh sensitif terhadap peninkatan indeks dan status keberlanjutan yaitu fasilitas hatchery, sikap dan perliku masyarakat terhadap pengelolaan konservasi penyu, tingkat pendapatan masyarakat disekitar kawasan konservasi penyu serta penyuluhan oleh balai penyuluh.

Abstract

Studies related to herpetofauna diversity in the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park (Tanakaya), West Kalimantan are very limited. Data related to the richness of amphibians and reptiles in this area are important for the management of the area in the future. We conducted amphibian and reptile surveys in Tanakaya in July-August 2019 using Visual Encounter Survey methods at five sites (Belaban Resort: Km 37 & 39; Resort Rantau Malam: Batu Lintang, Sungai Mangan, and Hulu Rabang). We recorded 50 amphibian species from nine families and 25 reptile species from seven different families. Twenty of these species are new records for Tanakaya. The highest diversity (H' = 2.94) was found in Batu Lintang, while the highest evenness (E = 0.55) was in Sungai Mangan, and the highest community similarity index (IS = 0.6) was in Batu Lintang with Km 37. Combined with previous studies, there have been 142 species (78 species of amphibians and 64 species of reptiles) recorded from Tanakaya. Further study is needed to fully understand the herpetofauna in Tanakaya, but our data highlights the importance of the national park for preserving global biodiversity.

Abstract

The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, is an endemic species protected by Indonesian law, mostly due to its population size and limited distribution. The natural distribution of the Komodo dragon is limited to Komodo National Park and several areas on the island of Flores and its surroundings. However, increasing population and tourism in its natural habitat might increase the conflict between the Komodo dragon and humans. To study the impact of human activities on the behavior of the Komodo dragon, we constructed an ethogram to catalog the behavioral inventories of the Komodo to enable future quantitative comparison. The Komodo dragon ethogram was obtained from observations in Loh Buaya and Loh Baru Resorts, Rinca Island, Komodo National Park. Observations were made on 10 adult males, 13 adult females, 12 juveniles, and 3 hatchlings Komodo dragons. Data were collected during July-September 2019, February-March 2020, and June-September 2020. Based on observations, observed behavior was grouped into 9 categories based on their function. Among them are sexual behavior, parental behavior, antagonistic behavior, ingestion/egestion, maintenance, movement, resting, and investigative.

Abstract

Taman Nasional Kutai, Provinsi Kalimantan Timur merupakan salah satu kawasan konservasi dengan habitat yang beragam serta potensi keanekaragaman jenis herpetofauna yang tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan komposisi jenis herpetofauna, membandingkan keanekaragaman herpetofauna, serta menduga faktor-faktor lingkungan yang menentukan kehadiran herpetofauna pada pada berbagai tipe habitat di Taman Nasional Kutai. Pengamatan dilakukan menggunakan metode Visual Encounter Survey (VES) berdasarkan waktu yang dikombinasikan dengan jalur transek di mangrove, hutan dataran rendah, hutan kerangas, dan hutan rawa. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 28 jenis reptil dari 9 famili serta 22 jenis amfibi yang berasal dari 6 famili. Hutan dataran rendah memiliki keanekaragaman serta kekayaan tertinggi (H’reptil =2,43; H’amfibi = 2,63). Kesamaan jenis antara empat tipe habitat sangat rendah yang menunjukkan bahwa setiap tipe habitat hanya mendukung jenis tertentu. Faktor lingkungan yang dominan memengaruhi kehadiran jenis-jenis reptil di jalur akuatik adalah kecepatan arus air, pH air, dan intensitas cahaya, sedangkan faktor lingkungan yang memengaruhi di jalur terestrial adalah ketebalan serasah, tutupan tajuk pohon, dan jarak jalur ke sumber air. Untuk amfibi, faktor dominan yang paling berperan dalam kehadiran jenis, yaitu kelembaban relatif (jalur terestrial) dan keberadaan substrat batu (jalur akuatik).

Abstract

One of the conservation efforts for the Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is the translocation of the Komodo. Six juvenile captive-bred Komodo Dragons were translocated from Bogor to Wae Wuul Nature Reserve, East Nusa Tenggara Province, on 23rd September 2023. This research aims to calculate and describe home ranges total daily movements and the habitat conditions of Komodo Dragons. The research was carried out at the Wae Wuul Nature Reserve using the radio tracking method for 11 days, as most of the translocated Komodo Dragons could only survive in the short term. Results showed that translocated Komodo Dragons tend to stay near the initial release location. The average total daily movement translocated Komodo Dragons was 424.53 m day–1 with an average home range of 34.11 ha and an average core area of 8.20 ha. The habitats used by Komodo Dragons are savanna and monsoon forests dominated by bushes and trees. The presence of feral dogs and vehicle road access have the potential to pose a threat to the translocated Komodo Dragons.

Abstract

Populasi yang terus menurun akibat peburuan liar membuat penyu sisik menjadi hewan yang dilindungi. Selain itu hal ini diduga karena adanya parameter lingkungan yang kurang sesuai dengan karakteristik habitat peneluran penyu sisik pada umumnya, sehingga berdampak pada penurunan populasi penyu sisik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji kondisi habitat peneluran penyu sisik secara umum serta menganalisis parameter morfologi pantai yang diduga dapat mempengaruhi preferensi penyu sisik yang bersarang di Pulau Belanda dan Kayu Angin Bira. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus 2017 di Pulau Belanda dan kayu Angin bira. Data yang dikumpulkan berupa data primer dan sekunder. Data primer meliputi nilai kemiringan dan lebar pantai, sedangkan data sekunder meliputi jumlah penyu yang bersarang dari tahun 2012 hingga tahun 2016. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lebar pantai merupakan karakteristik kunci dari parameter morfologi pantai yang berperan sebagai preferensi penyu sisik untuk bersarang.

Abstract

Concerns in crocodiles sustainability have long been overlooked, due to humans fear of its ferocity and unresolved human-crocodile conflicts. The siamese crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis) and false gharial (Tomistoma schlegelii) are considered threatened by the IUCN red list because of their limited range and declining populations. In this study we developed habitat suitability model for both species and overlaid with anthropogenic factors to mitigate conflict between crocodiles and human in Mesangat-Suwi Wetland, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. We collected species presence from 2018–2023, measured environmental variables, interviewed 100 respondents, and mapped all information with Maximum Enthropy program (MaxEnt). Results showed that different factors influenced the habitat distribution for each species. Specifically, distance from swamps was affected the most for both crocodiles. Our model found that the potential habitat was much smaller than the non-potential ones due to humans’ intrusion. Much of the Mesangat-Suwi area was covered in high-conflict zones between humans and crocodiles, endangering both species even more. Hence, serious actions were urgently needed to resolve the conflict, either by prevention and mitigation actions, to ensure human-crocodile coexistence in East Kalimantan.

Abstract

Understanding animal movement is essential for assessing species' ecological needs and informing effective conservation strategies. This study investigates the short-term daily movement and home range of the Endangered (EN) pig-nosed turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) in the Kao River, Boven Digoel District, South Papua, Indonesia. Native to Papua New Guinea, Northern Australia, and Southern Papua, this freshwater turtle faces heavy egg harvesting pressure. Using low-cost GPS tracking devices, we monitored six adult individuals (one male and five females) over a three-day period during November–December 2023. The results indicated that the daily movements of C. insculpta ranged from 84.95 to 648.77 m. Average home range estimates were 18.03 ha (minimum convex polygon), 7.51 ha (50% kernel density), and 12.44 ha (95% kernel density). The movement overlaps among the four turtles totaled 30.64 ha, with an average overlap of 6.12 ha. The hotspot analysis identified 76.16 ha as key movement areas, revealing that the pig-nosed turtles tend to stay near sandbanks, primary dryland forest, secondary dryland forest, and shrublands. Our studyprovides important baseline ecological data that can be used to inform future conservation and recovery programs. Elaboration between stakeholders and the local community can be carried out to protect the species.
