Abstract

Hydropower plants are often considered a negative factor affecting biodiversity conservation; however, some studies have noted that they can also serve as biodiversity refugia from the pressures of forest cover change in the surrounding areas. This study aimed to identify the biodiversity within the Besai Hydropower Plant (PLTA Besai) concession area. Data collection was performed using several methods, including strip transects, trapping, and track detection for mammals; a point count combined with transects for birds; and visual encounter surveys for amphibians and reptiles. The results recorded the presence of 88 terrestrial vertebrate species, comprising 17 mammal species, 39 bird species, and 32 herpetofauna species (17 amphibian species and 15 reptile species) within the concession. The study area is inhabited by at least 5 nationally protected species, 8 threatened species according to the IUCN Red List, and 10 species listed in the CITES Appendices. Besai Hydropower Plant concession has the potential to act as a refugium from the threat of land cover change, particularly conversion to plantations, which is a common occurrence around the study area.

Abstract

The Way Besai Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTA) is located in West Lampung Regency, Lampung Province, with a capacity of 90.4 MW and utilizes water from the Way Besai River. The availability of stable water discharge is highly dependent on the vegetation conditions in the catchment area. This study aims to examine the diversity of flora and vegetation sustainability in the Way Besai hydropower plant area using an exploration method divided into six observation lines. The results showed that there were 57 types of plants belonging to 21 families. The most common species are sonokeling (Dalbergia latifolia) with 140 individuals and seripit (Crypteronia paniculata) with 113 individuals. The families with the highest number of species are obtained from the families Moraceae and Fabaceae. The types of the Moraceae family are dominated by Ficus spp., which acts as a source of animal feed, while from the Fabaceae family, there are more types of multipurpose plants (MPTS). The diversity of species and evenness of flora around the Way Besai hydropower plant is relatively high, as shown by the diversity index value (H') of 3.281 and the evenness index value (E) of 0.812. Although this value is relatively high, the maintenance and conservation of flora still needs to be carried out intensively to maintain the stability of the water discharge of the Way Besai River. These results confirm that the vegetation around the Way Besai hydropower plant is still relatively sustainable, but sustainable conservation efforts are needed to control land conversion that has the potential to reduce the water discharge of the Way Besai River.
