Abstract

Wildlife trade has become one of the main causes of species loss and extinction. Increasing anthropogenic pressure posits crucial challenges to wildlife, and several species are threatened or at the edge of extinction. In this study, we aimed to examine the current wildlife trade in Makassar City of South Sulawesi, especially focusing on traded species, their area of origin, price, conservation status and traders’ distribution across the city. We conducted a market survey and direct observations of animals and wildlife traders in several locations, using a questionnaire targeting both wildlife/pet sellers and buyers. We also interviewed government bodies related with wildlife trade. Our results showed that there were 13 distribution spots of wildlife trading in the city of Makassar, and 27 different wildlife suppliers. During the seven months of observation (March-September 2018), the trade involved 62 species of birds, mammals and reptiles. More than 50% of these species had Indonesian origins, and 18% were endemic species of Sulawesi Island. The highest number of animals traded in the market were birds. Out of the 2,642 individuals being traded, 32 were considered as protected species under the IUCN regulation, 24 were species whose trade is regulated by CITES, and 10 were nationally protected according to the Indonesian Government’s Laws. The traded animals were obtained from different sources, including direct hunters, middlemen, opportunists, and breeders, mostly from Sulawesi (44.19%) and western parts of Indonesia (37.21%).

Abstract

Maros-Pangkep karst formation in South Sulawesi is one of the largest karst environments in the world. One cave located in the area is Leang Londrong and is a part of the management of Bantimurung-Bulusaraung National Park. The Leang Londrong area is known as tourism spot with water-based tourism as the main attraction and it is also known as the main ecosystem service provider in particular as water sources for many areas. This cave is inhabited by some species of bats. Even now the area is designated for water-based tourism, other potential tourism object such bats roosting inside the cave for tourism development has not been explored. Therefore, this study attempts to examine the perception of local community and tourists visiting the area towards nature, cave, bats and its conservation, as well as cave-bats tourism development. The study was conducted between January-April 2022 by distributing questionnaires to 86 respondents consisted of local community, tourists, and government’s representatives. The results indicated that in general the respondents had limited knowledge on nature, cave, bats and its conservation. In particular with bats, the majority of the respondents have not yet been familiar with bats, understood the roles of bats for the environment, and tended to ignore the existence of bats. However, in relation with nature and conservation, bat conservation, and the development of cave and bat tourism in Leang Londrong, all respondents from the tourist’s side agreed to support (>85%) and for the locals, the number was even higher (>90%). Therefore, from the perspectives of local community and tourists, the chance in developing cave and bat tourism in Leang Londrong can be considered possible.

Abstract

Many sandy beach forests on small islands were cut down by people for farming to provide for their food needs. Land degraded due to over-exploitation is overgrown by Imperata cylindrica, which often causes fires in the dry season. This study aims to determine the species that occur in the secondary succession of Imperata grassland vegetation to assess soil fertility and differences in carbon stocks in various types of vegetation cover on the beach of Marsegu raised coral island. The measurement and calculation of carbon stocks used the Indonesian National Standard 7724:2011 with slight modifications in certain parts. The non-destructive method for calculating the above-ground and below-ground biomass used an allometric and the destructive method was carried out for understory and litter while the carbon content of the soil was taken compositely from several plots and layers and then analyzed in the laboratory. The results showed that the species that can grow and coexist with Imperata cylindrica is Timonius timon. In the final stage of the loss of Imperata cylindrica, the beach forest area was dominated by Terminalia catappa, Sterculia ceramica, and Cassia fistula. The soil's nutrient content of total N, P2O5 (available P) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) is low, with a very high sand texture percentage of 91-93%, which affects soil fertility. A comparison of total carbon stocks between differences in vegetation cover is the Imperata grassland area of 129.955 t/ha, the rehabilitation area is 82.920 t/ha, and the Terminalia vegetation is area 137.977 t/ha.

Abstract

Waste management in tourist destinations is a serious problem because of its non-biodegradable nature and the volume of waste produced each year continues to increase along with the increasing number of visitors to the tourist area. The existence of climbing activities in the Bulusaraung Mountains area has an impact on the waste problem that arises due to hikers activities in the area. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of waste management in the Bulusaraung Mountains, Bantimurung-Bulusaraung National Park (South Sulawesi), Indonesia from the perspective of hikers, a survey was conducted on 100 hikers with a focus on their perceptions, attitudes and awareness using a set of questionnaires. Additionally, observations were made regarding the implementation of hiking procedures applied by the National Park on waste management in the area. A correlation analysis determined the relationship between socio-demographic factors and hikers' perspectives on waste management in the Bulusaraung Mountains. The results, which underscore the importance of this study, indicated that hikers held positive perceptions, attitudes, and awareness regarding the waste management efforts implemented by Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park. Age and education positively influenced hikersperception, attitude, and awareness towards waste management. In addition, a significant correlation was found between age and awareness (p = 0.05).  Other variables, such as gender, occupation, and organization, were negative and insignificant in influencing hikers' perception, attitude, and awareness (p > 0.05). Respondents‘ education is positively correlated with hikers’ perceptions, attitudes and awareness towards waste management in the Bulusaraung Mountains.

Abstract

Due to the absence of topsoil, low pH, and contamination by various heavy metals, revegetation of post-nickel mining land, which is generally carried out by planting economically valuable species, is usually unsuccessful. This study aims to identify tree species suitable for revegetation on post-nickel mining land in Kolaka Regency, Indonesia. Nine plots measuring 20 m x 20 m were distributed in the revegetated post-nickel mining land at three different age categories (1, 5, and 10 years) to observe the growth of revegetation trees, which are introduced species and native tree species that naturally invade the revegetation area. In total, there were 24 tree species found in the revegetated post-nickel mining land consisting of 9 introduced revegetation species and the other 15 tree species were native tree species that invaded the revegetated area. The older the age of the revegetation, the more native plant species are found. In line with the increasing age of revegetation, the density of revegetation plants decreases while the density of native plants increases. The population structure of revegetation trees does not indicate that the species can regenerate, while the inverted shape of the population structure of native plants indicates excellent regeneration potential. Thus, the results of this study recommend making native species, including Buchanania arborescens, Alstonia macrophylla, Ficus sp. Syzygium sp. Colona scabra, Litsea sp., and Metrosideros cf. petiolata as revegetation plants in former nickel mining areas.

Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the pattern of ebony distribution (Diospyros celebica Bakh) and the relationship of microhabitat factors with variable density and dominance. This research was conducted in the Tombolo Resort Balocci Forest Area of Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park in South Sulawesi Province. Data collection is carried out in a plot measuring 100 m x 100 m divided into 100 subplots measuring 10m x 10m, covering the individual number of trees and the area of the base field on each research sub-plot. Microhabitat factors include pH, marbles, soil depth, header closure, and the proportion of sub-plot surfaces covered in outcropping stones. The results showed that (1) the pattern of ebony distribution at the location of this study is clustered, (2) the correlation value of pH and density shows a negative and insignificant relationship (p>0.05), the correlation of marbles with density shows a positive and significant value (p<0.05), the closing correlation of the header, the depth of the soil with a positive but insignificant density (p> 0.05), while the correlation of the proportion of sub-plot surfaces covered in outcrops and densities showed a negative but significant relationship (p<0.05), (3) the correlation value of pH with negative and insignificant dominance (p>0.05), the correlation of the proportion of outcrop stones with negative and significant dominance (p<0.05), the correlation of heading closure, marbles with positive and significant dominance (p<00.05), soil depth correlation and positive but non-significant dominance (p> 0.05).
