This research is an explorative quantitative survey by testing differences in species of terrestrial mammals found in natural forest (core) and edge forest (ecoton) areas. The data collection was obtained by using camera traps installed for 3 months based on a grid cell 2 x 2 km, with a total of 16 camera traps placed in core area and another 17 were in ecotone. The object of this research was medium (0.3 kg) to large terrestrial mammals. The t test was used to determine the differences the species diversity of mammals between two research areas. The study shows that there are 22 species of terrestrial mammals with a total of 552 individuals, which is distributed in both research areas. In the core area there are 18 species with 237 individuals, while in the ecotone there are 18 species with 315 individuals. Analyses the species richness index was 17.8171 for the core area while 17.8262 for the ecotone area. Similarity index in both study areas ranged from 0.7106 to 1. While the value of diversity index (Shannon-Wiener) in the core area H '= 2.2038 and in the ecotone area H' = 2.0541. Three species with the greatest relative abundance values are Porcupine (Hystrix brachyura), Barking Deer (Muntiacus muntjak), and Wild Boar (Sus scrofa). Based on the t tests of the two research areas, which are core area and ecotone, obtained tcount 0.41365 (p 0.05), it can be interpreted that the diversity of terrestrial mammals species in the core and ecotone areas is not the same.Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif survei eksploratif dengan melakukan pengujian perbedaan terhadap jenis mamalia teresterial yang ditemukan di wilayah hutan alam (inti) dan wilayah hutan tepi (ekoton).

In conservation areas throughout Indonesia, there are at least 1.8 million hectares of open land in the form of damaged or degraded ecosystems following encroachment on conservation areas by local communities. Addressing this, the government of Indonesia has introduced a conservation partnership policy issued in 2018, namely the Director General of KSDAE Regulation No. P.6/KSDAE/SET/Kum.1/6/2018 concerning Technical Guidelines for Conservation Partnerships in Nature Reserves and Nature Conservation Areas. The objective of this study was to identify and analyze the impact of conservation partnerships on improving the welfare of the community in the Gunung Masigit Kareumbi Hunting Park (GMKHP). The research was conducted within the GMKHP area, with the samples taken from the community of Forest Farmer Groups (KTH) in the villages of Pelita Asih, Jaya Mekar, Sunda Mekar, Cikadu, Sukajaya, and Kaduwulung. The approach used in this study is qualitative. Data were collected by questionnaire survey, interviews, observations, and documentation in the field. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the production of pine resin tapping carried out by KTH members is as much as 29,033 kg/month or an average of 323 kg/person per month. This activity has an impact on increasing the income of KTH members by 170%, i.e. from their initial average income of Rp. 853,778 per month to become Rp. 2,307,278/month for each member. Additionally, there are also contributing funds to the neighborhood and social welfare coordinated by cooperatives, such as assistance for the poor and orphans, village treasury income, BUMDes (Village Enterprise) capital, wages for reading Qoran teachers, mosque maintenance, etc.

Coastal abrasion is a problem that needs to be addressed thoroughly. If not properly managed, coastal abrasion can lead to other environmental issues, such as damage to mangroves and coastal ecosystems. The local government is actively carrying out mangrove ecosystem restoration program to conserve the coastal ecology by involving related agencies, industries, and the community surrounding the Juntinyuat coastal area. The focus of this research is to find out the planning, implementation, and monitoring carried out in relation to the restoration of the mangrove ecosystem based on the involvement of the parties in overcoming coastal abrasion on the coast of Juntinyuat, Indramayu Regency, West Java. Data were collected by conducting observations, interviews, and documentation to the community and the parties involved in restoring the mangrove ecosystem on the Juntinyuat coast. The results showed that mangrove ecosystem damage in the coastal area of Juntinyuat generates a high level of abrasion. The damage caused by abrasion threatens settlements, ponds, and agricultural land, as well as threatens the gas and oil pipelines of Pertamina Gas in the West Java operation area (Pertagas OWJA). There is a relationship between the critical condition of the mangrove ecosystem in the Juntinyuat coastal area and the initiation of efforts to restore the mangrove ecosystem. The initiation of mangrove ecosystem restoration arose from the critical condition of mangroves, which necessitates careful planning to restore damaged mangrove conditions. Related parties concerned with the preservation of the mangrove ecosystem subsequently coordinate to plan the mangrove ecosystem restoration program on the Juntinyuat coast. The mangrove ecosystem restoration was conducted after an initial survey in mid-2014. The role of the parties in planning, implementing, and monitoring the restoration of the mangrove ecosystem is running well and maximally with a clear division of duties and responsibilities. Currently, the results of the restoration of the mangrove ecosystem on the Juntinyuat coast can be felt together with the denser mangrove cover, reducing the abrasion impact, and making it a mangrove ecotourism area. In the future, it is necessary to form a coordinating team for the strategy of mangrove ecosystem management at the regency and sub-district levels to synergize policies and programs for managing mangrove ecosystems. Empowerment activities need to be carried out intensively to encourage a change in the role of mangrove management.

In Indonesia, the value of the illegal trade in wildlife reaches more than US one million per year. Apart from being a source country, Indonesia also has a significantly growing home market for illegally traded wildlife as pets, skins, and medicines.The illegal wildlife trade uses various modus operandi, directed by organized criminal groups and carried out by a variety of perpetrators on the ground, often very poor locals from rural communities. Whilst this trading activity is a transnational crime, that is, across national and continental borders, and may use the same supply routes usually associated with other crimes such as weapons, drugs and people trafficking, it is usually only the poachers on the ground who are caught and prosecuted. In summary, universities and their researchers have a significant role in the fight against the illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade, in monitoring wildlife populations and poaching activity, and in changing people's behavior, so that the activities of hunting, trading, or owning protected wildlife become unattractive and unacceptable to all communities. This role draws on disciplines across the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities, encouraging those interdisciplinary behaviours so important for effective environmental management that delivers for the long-term health and well-being of people.

Food is a basic human need. The state must strive to meet the availability of food for people in a sustainable manner. One of the efforts is to maintain and develop paddy fields as a food source as a supplier of 95% of national rice production. The conversion of paddy fields is a reason of decreasing of food production in Purwakarta Regency, which impact on food availability and security. This research was aimed to provide a portrait of the rate of conversion of paddy fields in Purwakarta. This research is a quantitative descriptive research using spatial analysis to compare two period of times: 2013-2017 period and the 2017-2021 period. The results of spatial analysis in the 2013-2017 period showed that Purwakarta Regency experienced a reduction in paddy fields by 195.55 ha (1%) consisting of paddy fields turned into industry 117.99 ha; roads 5.72 ha; settlements of 42.30 ha and housing, trade and services of 29.55 ha. Meanwhile, in the 2013-2017 period, paddy fields turned into industry 151.72 ha, roads by 23.54 ha, settlements 196.76 ha, and housing, trade and services 29.81 ha. The results of this study reinforce that the reduction in food production in Purwakarta was caused by the conversion of paddy fields into other uses during the 2013-2017 and 2017-2021 periods.

This study aims to determine the differences in daily behaviour and home range of male and female rehabilitated Javan slow loris (Nycticebus javanicus) in Gunung Sawal Nature Reserve, Ciamis, West Java, Indonesia. The study was conducted on four individuals of Javan slow loris rehabilitates (two adult males and two adult females) during their post-released monitoring period. Those animals were fitted with a radio transmitter and were monitored for their daily behaviour and home range for six months (May - October 2018). The focal animal sampling method was employed for daily behaviour observation. The home range of each individual was estimated by Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP) and Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) methods. Data analysis was descriptively displayed in maps, tables, and figures. According to the statistical analyses of the Mann Whitney U test, there are no significant differences (μ = 1,074,554.5 [p 0.01]; P-Value 0.238 0.01) in the daily behaviour of male and female Javan slow loris rehabilitate. In contrast, the home range (vertically and horizontally) of female and male Javan slow loris rehabilitate are significantly different (μ = 816,286.0 [p 0.01]; P-Value 0.000 0.01). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan perilaku harian dan wilayah jelajah kukang jawa (Nycticebus javanicus) jantan dan betina hasil rehabilitasi di Suaka Margasatwa Gunung Sawal, Ciamis, Jawa Barat, Indonesia. Penelitian dilakukan pada empat individu kukang jawa rehabilitan (dua jantan dewasa dan dua betina dewasa) selama masa pemantauan pasca pelepasliaran. Satwa-satwa tersebut dipasangi pemancar radio serta dipantau perilaku harian dan wilayah jelajahnya selama enam bulan (Mei - Oktober 2018). Metode pengambilan sampel "Focal Animal" digunakan untuk pengamatan perilaku harian. Daerah jelajah masing-masing individu diperkirakan dengan metode Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP) dan Kernel Density Estimation (KDE). Analisis data secara deskriptif ditampilkan dalam bentuk peta, tabel, dan gambar. Berdasarkan analisis statistik uji U-Mann Whitney, tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna (μ = 1.074.554,5 [p 0,01]; P-Value 0,238 0,01) pada perilaku harian kukang jawa jantan dan betina yang direhabilitasi. Sebaliknya, wilayah jelajah (vertikal dan horizontal) kukang jawa betina dan jantan yang direhabilitasi berbeda nyata (μ = 816.286,0 [p 0,01]; P-Value 0,000 0,01).

The Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services 2019, published by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), shed light on the increasingly alarming state of global biodiversity. Biodiversity is essential to human survival through its contribution to ecosystem stability, resilience, and the provision of critical ecosystem services that sustain essential ecological processes and human well-being. Amongst other services, as demonstrated across Indonesia, biodiversity supports livelihoods by providing building and clothing materials, maintaining water quality, and providing medicines and food. As the global human population reached 8 billion in 2022, the interconnections between our unsustainable production and consumption, the climate crisis, and biodiversity decline have been increasingly recognized by the global community through IPBES and IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Escalating human numbers, coupled with burgeoning economic and industrial demands, must necessitate substantial forest land use—repositories of biodiversity. Conservation practitioners have therefore been continually driven to innovate in their pursuit of effective strategies for sustainably managing the world's precious biodiversity. Researchers and academics have the pivotal responsibility to produce research that brings about real-world impactful outcomes. The academic community is expected to address the needs of those working to conserve nature through the development of research and technology with immediate practical applicability. We look forward to publishing more of these research impact papers in the future.
