Abstract

The Javan rhinoceros is an endangered animal that is protected according to the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. P.106 of 2018, included in the IUCN Redlist Data Book with the category of critically endangered or endangered animals, listed in Appendix I of CITES. In the framework of the conservation of the Javan Rhinoceros, the Javan Rhino and Conservation Area (JRSCA) is planned to be built in the Ujung Kulon national park area. In order to minimize the negative impact on plants in the area, it is necessary to identify the existence of protected and/or rare plant species, as well as the number of trees to be cut down, so this research is necessary. This study aimed to identify the diversity of plants in the JRSCA area that is not being developed and which will be developed, as well as to identify the species of rhinoceros food plants in the JRSCA area. Field data collection in the study of plant diversity in the JRSCA area used the quadratic method using grid lines and interviews. In the undeveloped JRSCA area, 241 plant species were found; the species diversity index ranged from 3.027 – 3.982 (trees), 2.460 – 3.573 (poles), 1.177 – 3.583 (saplings), and 2.421 – 3.262 (seedlings and understoreys); at various growth rates dominated by 7 species; found 3 species belonging to the VU/Vulnerable category and 1 plant species belonging to the EN/Endangered category according to IUCN; and found as many as 89 species of rhino food plants. In the area of the JRSCA that will be built, 141 plant species are found; density of 2,221 trees; a total of 2,221 trees planned to be felled with a TBC tree volume of 1,214.06 m3 and an TT volume of 2,314.08 m3; and found as many as 1 species including the category VU / Vulnerable according to IUCN.

Abstract

Urban forest is a form of green open space in the urban area. The use of information and communication technology based on smart tourism is an important factor in providing facilities for recreational areas. This research aims to formulate smart tourism-based development at PSBUF for recreation based on resources, management and preferences of visitors and the surrounding community. Data collection methods used were literature studies, field observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The data analysis used were qualitative, quantitative descriptive, and SWOT. Pesanggrahan Sangga Buana Urban Forest (PSBUF) has the potential to develop smart tourism-based facilities for recreation. Standard recreational facilities are available in the form of prayer rooms, toilets, gazebos, jogging tracks, parking lots, badminton courts and football fields. Urban forest management is carried out by EFG Sangga Buana with supervision by the DKI Jakarta Parks and Urban Forest Service. EFG Sangga Buana strives to preserve the environment in the DKI Jakarta area with facilities that do not disturb the surrounding ecosystem. The existence of jogging tracks and sports fields is still lacking. The biggest motivation for visiting the urban forest is to refresh the mind from daily boredom. Public facilities that are really needed are rubbish bins. Respondents need for smart tourism facilities in the form of CCTV is the highest. Recommendations for the development of facilities are optimizing potential, maximizing management cooperation, increasing PSBUF promotions, and optimizing coordination between managers.

Abstract

Illegal wild animal trade is a conservation threat, predominantly in Indonesia. Most of the animals traded is the pangolin which almost all parts of the body are used, especially the scales. This research used a bibliometric review that uses Scopus, The Web of Science platform, and Google Scholar to analyze publications for one decade to map trends and gaps in pangolin research. The result of this research showed that the total of publications significantly increased over several decades, but the topic for pangolin research is not learned in the same proportion (only 37% of them discussed the population appraisal of pangolin in the wild, the remainder mostly discussed status and conservation of pangolin in 41%, and the effect of illegal pouching and trading in 22%). There is an inconsistency between the researchers in developed countries and developing countries where more research is conducted in developed countries than in developing countries. The data from the analysis research collected systematically in developing countries were not published proficiently, therefore it caused several publications to fall into the grey literature category. There are some research gaps, which are research topics are not diverse and have too many things in common, other than that the population data are not aligned with the biodiversity distribution and conservation priorities, especially concerning endangered species such as pangolins. The success of conservation relied on the policymakers and practitioners, and the implications of this research gave suggestions for the management to overcome the pangolin trade polemic that has become increasingly widespread recently.

Abstract

Mangroves are important ecosystems that provide a range of ecosystem functions and services that support livelihoods and the environment. Mangrove forests in Timor-Leste have been exploited since at least the 1940s for agriculture, timber, and clearing for settlements. Measurement of the distribution of mangrove vegetation was carried out at two observation stations, namely: Station I, located in Tibar Village; Station II and located in Ulmera Village. The determination of the research location was determined by purposive sampling after a survey was conducted. The results of vegetation analysis that has been done there are 4 types of mangroves found such as; Sonneratia alba, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata and Brugueira cylindrica. Stand density at Tibar station is dominated by the type of Sonneratia alba having a density of 366.67 trees / ha with a species mastery level of 91.23 m2 / ha and has an INP value of 219.98%. In contrast to the results of observations in Tibar village, the density of stands at the Ulmera observation station, the Rhizophora apiculata species has a higher density of 511 trees/ha but the level of species mastery is dominated by the Sonneratia alba species of 53 m2/ha with INP = 116%. The density level is dominated by the Rhizophora apiculata species because in the middle zone the substrate is muddy, while in the outer zone directly facing the sea and always inundated with sea water, more Sonneratia alba species are found.

Abstract

Tropical peatlands are crucial ecosystems, storing vast carbon reserves and supporting rich biodiversity. Despite covering a small land area, they play significant roles in global carbon cycling and climate regulation. However, these ecosystems face escalating threats from human activities, including agricultural expansion and peatland drainage. This paper provides a concise overview of tropical peatlands, focusing on their distribution, characteristics, and ecological importance in Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America. It highlights the diverse vegetation communities and notable animal species found in peat swamp forests, underscoring their conservation value. Peatland degradation leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions, land subsidence, and loss of traditional livelihoods for local communities. Addressing these challenges requires integrated approaches, including conservation efforts to protect and restore intact peat swamp forests, sustainable land-use practices, and policy interventions to regulate land management. Research collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and local communities is essential for developing evidence-based conservation strategies. By prioritizing the preservation of tropical peatlands, we can mitigate climate change impacts, conserve biodiversity, and safeguard the well-being of local communities.

Abstract

Managing protected area in the proper way is one of the most effective effort to conserve the last tropical biodiversity and ecosystems. Nowaday management of protected area faces to many "threats" from others. With regards to global situation, the way of protected area management has to be adjusted and shifted in line with new paradigm that develop based on lesson learn from best practices in many countries over the world. According to global history, current management of protected area should recognize local needs and must be recognized by local. The existence of protected area must bring significant benefits to multi-stakeholders. We have to broaden mind that protected area is not just the needs of central goverment or conservationists to save our earth, but there should also be an access for others to take real benefits. If it is consistently adopted, however, protected area authority is not the only responsible institution towards conservation of biodiversity within the area.
