Abstract

The tricolored langur (Presbytis cruciger) is not only geographically restricted but is also believed to strongly depend on specific habitat types, particularly wetland ecosystems in northern Borneo. Despite its limited range and potential vulnerability, no comprehensive habitat assessment has been conducted within its distribution area. This study aims to model the habitat suitability of P. cruciger in the Danau Sentarum landscape using environmental variables derived from direct encounter data collected between 2021 and 2023, and analyzed using MaxEnt. Habitat suitability modeling revealed that 95.94% (228,658 ha) of the total study area (238,329 ha) was classified as unsuitable habitat. The remaining areas were categorized as marginally suitable (7,080 ha), suitable (1,977 ha), and highly suitable (614 ha). Highly suitable areas are concentrated in peat swamp forests, riparian forests, and lowland secondary forests located within 1 km of lake edges, extending into the hilly zones of the Danau Sentarum landscape. Among the environmental predictors, land cover contributed the most to the model, though it showed low permutation importance. In contrast, proximity to fire hotspots demonstrated high permutation importance, indicating an avoidance behavior towards fire-prone areas. The species preferred elevations ranging from 100 to 200 meters above sea level, with 8–25% slopes, and proximity to swamp forest and lake ecosystems. These results highlight the species' strong association with wetland ecosystems and underscore the importance of conserving these habitats to ensure its survival.

Abstract

The Nature Conservation Area of the Forest Park in Riau Province is Tahura (Forest Park) Sultan Syarif Hasyim (SSH). SSH Forest Park is a natural tourist destination located near urban areas, offering great potential for development. However, the management of Forest Park and natural tourism in SSH Forest Park is currently considered not optimal. Indonesia's biodiversity and ecosystems play a crucial role in human life, and therefore, they must be managed sustainably. One way to conserve Indonesia's biodiversity is through the sustainable use of the area, achieved through the assessment and analysis of Objects and Natural Tourism Attractions (ONTA). This research aims to conduct an assessment and analysis of SSH Forest Park Objects and natural tourism attractions, and compile the development of natural tourism and ecotourism in SSH Forest Park.  The methods employed include a literature review, field observations, assessments of the nature reserve, and interviews. The tourist attraction in Sultan Syarif Hasyim Forest Park consists of both physical and biotic aspects, with a high assessment classification (feasible) developed. The proposed natural tourism development includes wildlife tourism (primarily primate tourism) and thematic plant collection parks, featuring typical plant collections of Riau Province, plant collections of the Dipterocarpaceae family, collections of medicinal plants, and collections of fruit-producing plants.

Abstract

The goals of interpretation activities can be achieved if interpretation service planning is carried out correctly. The planning process could succeed if the planner has adequate knowledge and understanding of interpretation services. Knowledge and understanding are crucial to determining what to do. This research aims to measure the knowledge and understanding of tourism managers and organizers, as well as their interpretations of important aspects of interpretation, including interpretation resources, visitors' characteristics, and interpretation techniques. The research method used is qualitative. Data were collected through structured interviews with 15 informants (managers and organizers of interpretation activities). The interviews reveal that the managers and implementers of tourism activities and/or interpretations already possess a good knowledge and understanding of the interpretation resources available in the area, particularly regarding their tangible and intangible values. However, they still need to understand the universal concept of these resources. Additionally, all informants still need to gain more knowledge and understanding of the characteristics and backgrounds of visitors, as well as interpretation techniques. Only 80% of informants were aware of interpretation pathways, and 60% were aware of interpretation programs. This limited knowledge and understanding are assumed to be one of the inhibiting factors in the formulation of a good interpretation service. Ultimately, it becomes an inhibiting factor in creating public awareness regarding preserving natural resources. This research highlights the need to enhance the knowledge and understanding of interpretation stakeholders regarding the key aspects required for planning interpretation services through training, workshops, or formal education.

Abstract

The increasing intensification of agriculture, which tends to be monocultural and lacks attention to diversity, has led to global challenges related to climate change and sustainability by affecting carbon sequestration, land productivity, and farmers' incomes. This study aimed to determine the role of agrobiodiversity in the talas beneng community forest in supporting sustainable agriculture that provides long-term benefits for the environment, economy, and community welfare. We conducted a case study on an agroforestry system based on taro cultivation in community forest land using a vegetation survey, observations, and interviews with three key respondents. The results showed that agroforestry-based taro cultivation has the potential to extend the timber harvesting cycle and maintain the ecosystem functions of community forests. Agrobiodiversity in community forest land based on taro cultivation is relatively low (H' <3), but it can have a positive impact on agricultural land sustainability and potentially increase the local economy and farmers' income.

Abstract

Peatlands are characterized by the accumulation of decomposed plant remains, which result in an organic carbon content of approximately 16 percent and form a layer at least 40 cm thick. Peat ecosystems play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity conservation, maintaining water availability, and regulating the climate. However, human activities threaten these functions, especially during the dry season, which often leads to extensive fires. Post-fire succession is a natural process through which the land attempts to restore its original state. Monitoring succession after peatland fires can be conducted using satellite-based remote sensing technology, which provides spatiotemporal information. This study utilized a time series of three Landsat satellites, namely Landsat 5 (TM), Landsat 8 (OLI), and Landsat 9 (OLI2), to monitor succession in burnt peat areas on Bengkalis Island from 2000 onward. Additionally, hotspot data from FIRMS NASA  and MODIS were incorporated. The results showed a total of 3,689 hotspots recorded between 2005 and 2023. The confirmed land cover types in the succession area include swamps, water bodies, and oil palm plantations. The information from this research is expected to inform policymaking by the government or peatland area managers, and serve as a reference for further studies.

Abstract

Climate change poses a threat in the form of temperature elevation, which can alter weather patterns and ecological balance, necessitating urgent mitigation strategies, such as emission reduction and enhanced carbon sequestration in the urban forest. This research aimed to analyse vegetation density through the NDVI approach, assess tree stand structure and composition, and approximate aboveground carbon stocks in the urban forest, specifically in Eduforest, Bekasi Regency, Indonesia. The methodology involved vegetation analysis and carbon stock estimation, utilising allometric and destructive estimation for seedling and understory levels. The high-density class in Eduforest had the highest area increase in 2023, from 0.64 ha in 2013 to 1.31 ha in 2023. There are 36 species found in all growth levels and the understory. The dominant species, such as Swietenia mahagony, Acacia mangium, and Falcataria falcata, are fast-growing. The tree-growth level has the highest carbon stock (39.90 tons/Ha) of the other growth levels. Eduforest can be an alternative effort to maintain vegetation diversity and carbon stock in addressing climate change.

Abstract

Indonesia is a major hub for domestic and international wildlife trade. Illegal and unregulated trade threatens species survival and public health through potential zoonotic disease transmission. Effective governance, including strengthened legislation and enforcement, is essential to address these issues. This paper scrutinizes the laws and policies governing wildlife trade and zoonosis prevention in Indonesia, spotlighting the regulatory path from source to marketplace transactions. By analyzing existing regulations, both at the national and local levels, with a focus on Jakarta and Bandung as case studies for local regulation, this study aims to clarify the management of legal wildlife trade, the responsible actors, and their legal duties throughout the chain. The findings underscore a disconnect exists between upstream monitoring and downstream marketplace activities. Furthermore, the discussion reveals a critical regulatory loophole- the lack of regulations addressing standards for a healthy non-livestock wildlife market and the often-overlooked role of local government agencies, which, despite playing a marginalized role in wildlife trade monitoring strategies, are the forefront of zoonosis surveillance and monitoring duty.
