Sumatran Admiral Vanessa samani (Hagen, 1895) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) is a butterfly endemic to Sumatra, and can only be found in the Karo Highlands (North Sumatra) and Kerinci Mountain (southwestern Sumatra). In this paper, we report two additional records of V. samani from the Aceh Province in northern Sumatra, and the Jambul Highlands of South Sumatra. These records significantly extend the range of distribution of this rare Sumatran highland species. We also report three plants presumed to be the host plants of V. samani in Sumatra: Boehmeria sp., Smilax sp. (Smilax leucophylla) and Anaphalis sp. (Anaphalis longifolia).

Local communities surrounding Gunung Halimun Salak National Park are highly dependent on the national park area. Economic development is crucial to improving the livelihood of the local communities around the park area. Additionally, to ensure that the preservation of the national park will be supported by the surrounding communities, activities within the local communities can also align with the management of the national park. In Indonesia, national parks are managed through a zonation system, in which potential areas that satisfy the biophysical conditions will be considered for development activities that support the local communities. We analyze the biophysical condition of the area, zonation of area, and socio-economic conditions of communities to identify the types of potential community development activities. We conducted a survey of biophysical conditions, as well as interviews and focus group discussions with relevant stakeholders. The results of the study reveal five types of community development activities with the most potential, namely 1) development of tourism; 2) conservation partnership schemes; 3) cooperation on ecosystem restoration; 4) development of forest plant cultivation to provide seeds for economic benefits; 5) utilization of ecosystem services, such as water and hydroelectric power plants.

In an editorial last year, Prof. Kathryn Monk explained the importance to environmental research of an interdisciplinary approach. She has asked me to share with readers some further, personal thoughts on this topic. I am an ecologist by training, but I spent much of my career managing agricultural research programmes in tropical regions. For the last ten years, I have held a position in a school of public health. This varied disciplinary experience has given me the opportunity to explore and understand interactions between environment, agriculture and human health. It is helpful to think of environment, agriculture, and health as points in a triangle, each having specific interactions with an adjacent sector, but also being influenced by more complex, three-way interactions. For environmental scientists, the interactions with agriculture are probably the most familiar. Extensive planting of crops like rice and oil palm has dramatic effects on biological diversity, water systems and their function, and soils. The importance of healthy environments to agriculture is repeatedly demonstrated. Thirty years ago, I had the opportunity to review the Indonesian national programme on integrated pest management in rice. Use of pesticides on rice was, paradoxically, causing severe outbreaks of pests like brown planthopper. The environmental processes behind this were actually quite complex. Soon after flooding, aquatic arthropods colonizing rice paddies provided a food source for generalist predators that moved in and built levels capable of suppressing subsequent pest invasion. Pesticides killed off this general predator community, while the pests, which lay their eggs inside plants, were less affected and their populations exploded in this predator-free environment (Settle et al. 1996). Integrated Pest Management (IPM) on rice, pioneered in countries like Indonesia, was for many years a leading example of the value of integrating environmental and agricultural research.Environmental scientists will be less familiar, perhaps, with the interactions between agriculture and health, so here is a short introduction. Agricultural systems have two impacts on health, which for historical reasons have been treated as separate disciplines in the health sector. They produce food that contributes to nutrition, which is usually, but not always, a health benefit, and they produce distinct health risks, including diseases associated with food and food production, and toxins associated with agriculture, such as the pesticide just mentioned.

Mainland serow are in decline in Southeast Asia with poaching for illegal trade being a major driver. In Indonesia, where this species is found only on the island of Sumatra, the illegal wildlife trade is widespread and impacts numerous species and it is therefore not surprising to find serow in trade. Using seizure and prosecution data from 2014 to 2021, a total of 13 seizure records were obtained, involving an estimated minimum of 32 mainland serow (Capricornis sumatraensis). While legislation is in place in Indonesia to protect serow from poaching and illegal trade, meaningful penalties are seldom handed down. In an absence of effective deterrents, illegal trade will continue to be a threat to the conservation of this species.Kambing hutan daratan utama mengalami penurunan di Asia Tenggara yang mana perburuan untuk perdagangan ilegal menjadi pendorong utama. Di Indonesia, di mana spesies ini hanya ditemukan di Pulau Sumatra, perdagangan satwa liar secara ilegal terjadi dimana-mana dan berdampak pada banyak spesies, oleh karena itu tidak mengherankan jika ditemukan kambing hutan dalam perdagangan ilegal tersebut. Dengan menggunakan data penyitaan dan penuntutan mulai tahun 2014 hingga 2021, diperoleh total 13 catatan penyitaan, dengan perkiraan minimal terdapat 32 ekor kambing hutan (Capricornis sumatraensis). Meski undang-undang telah ada di Indonesia untuk melindungi kambing hutan dari perburuan dan perdagangan ilegal, namun hukuman yang dijatuhkan jarang sepadan. Tanpa adanya pencegahan yang efektif, perdagangan ilegal akan terus menjadi ancaman bagi upaya pelestarian spesies ini.

Environmental problems included biotic, abiotic, and social problems, therefore, to overcome them, various scientific disciplines are needed as well as the characteristics of environmental science itself. As consequences of population growth, industrial development, and technological progress, environmental problems are more complex. Therefore, appropriate research methods are needed to overcome new problems that arise as a result of these developments. UNEP recommends a research method called the DPSIR (Driving force–Pressure–State–Impact–Response) model that can describe the interactions between various environmental and social factors. This method has been applied as an approach to analyzing environmental problems in many countries around the world, including Indonesia. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) and some researchers in Indonesia have also applied the DPSIR method to assess environmental status both nationally and regionally. So far, the DPSIR method is still quite well applied to analyze environmental problems, although some scientists highlight the need for this method to be supplemented with other models to improve results.

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.

Throughout Indonesia, more than a hundred million ha of degraded forest and lands are still to be rehabilitated. High-quality tree seedlings are a key component of landscape restoration. The limited supply of quality seeds has been an obstacle so far. C. inophyllum is a tropical tree species that grow well under harsh environmental conditions. It can be used as an alternative tree species for degraded land rehabilitation. We present an efficient and reproducible protocol for improving seed quality with exogenous NAA hormones. The Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium was supplemented with NAA hormones (0 mg/l, 1 mg/l, 2 mg/l, and 3 mg/l of NAA) for observation of the influence of the exogenous NAA on seeds germination in micro-environment controlled. After seven weeks of incubation in axenic culture, the highest concentration of NAA (3 mg/l) showed the fastest average seed-breaking time of C. inophyllum (2.0 weeks), After three weeks, the roots were nearly five times longer (4.9 ± 0.1 cm) than the control (1.1± 0.1 cm), and the shoots were nearly three times longer (4.9 ± 0.1 cm) than the control (1.1± 0.1 cm). This research needs to be tested on a larger scale of cultivation.Di seluruh Indonesia, lebih dari seratus juta ha hutan dan lahan terdegradasi masih harus direhabilitasi. Bibit pohon berkualitas tinggi adalah komponen kunci dari restorasi lanskap. Terbatasnya pasokan benih berkualitas menjadi kendala selama ini. C. inophyllum adalah spesies pohon tropis yang tumbuh dengan baik di bawah kondisi lingkungan yang keras. Ini dapat digunakan sebagai jenis pohon alternatif untuk rehabilitasi lahan terdegradasi. Kami menyajikan protokol yang efisien dan dapat direproduksi untuk meningkatkan kualitas benih dengan hormon NAA eksogen. Media Murashige dan Skoog (MS) dilengkapi dengan hormon NAA (0 mg/l, 1 mg/l, 2 mg/l, dan 3 mg/l NAA) untuk pengamatan pengaruh NAA eksogen terhadap perkecambahan biji di lingkungan mikro dikendalikan. Setelah tujuh minggu inkubasi dalam kultur axenic, konsentrasi NAA tertinggi (3 mg/l) menunjukkan rata-rata waktu pemecahan benih tercepat C. inophyllum (2,0 minggu), Setelah tiga minggu, akar hampir lima kali lebih panjang (4,9 ± 0,1 cm) dari kontrol (1,1± 0,1 cm), dan tunas hampir tiga kali lebih panjang (4,9 ± 0,1 cm) dari kontrol (1,1± 0,1 cm). Penelitian ini perlu diuji pada skala budidaya yang lebih besar.

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.

The role of the academic community in combating wildlife trafficking Dolly Priatna; Kathryn A. Monk

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.
