Abstract

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.

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the effect of plant growth regulators and potassium fertilizer on the growth and productivity of three clones of purple sweet potato. The experiment was conducted at IPB University experimental station in Leuwikopo Dramaga Bogor for seven months. The study used a split-plot design with three factors and three replications. The first factor was as a subplot, namely plant growth regulators (PGR) application which consisted of two levels of without PGR (S0) and with PGR (S1) concentration of 2 cc l-1 of water (2,000 ppm). The second factor was as a subplot, namely rates of potassium chloride fertilizer (60, 120, 180 kg ha-1 K2O). The third factor as the main plot was sweet potato clones of (K1) Ayamurasaki, (K2) RIS-03063-05, and (K3) MSU 03028-10. The concentration of 2,000 ppm PGR did not significantly affect growth and tuber yield components. Potassium chloride K2O of 60 kg ha-1 up to 180 kg ha-1 did not significantly affect growth and tuber yield components. MSU 03028-10 clone had the highest total tuber yield (1537.8), healthy tuber (1529.9), unmarketable tuber (740.3), and small tuber (709.0). MSU 03028-10 clones have the longest stem length and the largest number of leaves 3-12 WAP. This study indicates that the MSU 03028-10 clone produces better growth and productivity than other clones.ABSTRAKPenelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh zat pengatur tumbuh dan pupuk kalium terhadap pertumbuhan dan produktivitas tiga klon ubi jalar ungu.

Abstract

Pakuan University (Unpak) as one of the largest private campuses in Bogor City, is committed to reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, especially CO2, through green open spaces (GOS) and trees on campus. Currently, the GOS and trees on the Unpak campus have not been arranged by CO2 sequestration as a consideration, even though the source of CO2 on the Unpak campus apart from the number of students which is more than 15,000 people is also filled with motorized vehicles. Therefore, to participate in reducing GHG emissions, especially CO2 in Bogor City, and create a comfortable campus, a campus GOS management strategy is needed which is based on CO2 sequestration. This research aims to analyze the ability of existing trees and GOS to sequester CO2. CO2 sequestration calculations are carried out based on the area of the GOS and the sequestration capacity of the trees in the GOS. The research results show that the 6 zones on Unpak's main campus have different CO2 sequestration capacities depending on the area of space planted with grass and ornamental bushes and the number of trees and shrubs planted. Overall, the CO2 sequestration capacity of trees and GOS on Unpak's main campus is 282,784.89 kg per year. ABSTRAK Universitas Pakuan (Unpak) sebagai salah satu kampus swasta terbesar di Kota Bogor berkomitmen menurunkan emisi gas-gas rumah kaca (GRK), khususnya CO2 melalui ruang terbuka hijau (RTH) dan pepohonan di dalam kampus. Saat ini RTH dan pepohonan di kampus Unpak belum ditata dengan mempertimbangkan sekuestrasi CO2, padahal sumber CO2 di kampus Unpak selain dari jumlah mahasiswa yang lebih dari 15.000 orang juga dipenuhi oleh kendaraan bermotor. Oleh karena itu, untuk ikut serta dalam penurunan emisi GRK khususnya CO2 di Kota Bogor dan mewujudkan kampus yang nyaman diperlukan strategi pengelolaan RTH kampus yang berbasis pada penyerapan CO2. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan pepohonan dan RTH yang ada dalam menyerap CO2. Perhitungan sekuestrasi CO2 dilakukan berdasarkan luas RTH dan kapasitas sekuestrasi pohon-pohon yang ada di dalam RTH. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 6 zona di kampus induk Unpak mempunyai kapasitas penyerapan CO2 yang berbeda-beda tergantung luas ruang yang ditanami rumput dan semak hias serta jumlah pohon dan perdu yang ditanam. Secara keseluruhan, kapasitas sekuestrasi CO2 pepohonan dan RTH di kampus induk Unpak adalah 282.784,89 kg per tahun.

Abstract

Mining processes contribute significantly to air pollution which has been identified as the largest cause of human deaths worldwide. This research was therefore conducted to assess air pollution of three gold mining areas: Kwali,  Maraba, Duke and a non–mining area: Kadauri in Zamfara State, Nigeria. Monthly measurements of CO, SO2 and NO2 wasdone using Gasman detection instrument (Crowcon–EExias IIC T5), particulates were determined using optical counter, buffered KI solution was used to measure O3 while temperature, humidity and pressure were measured using their respective meters over a period of one year. Air quality indices were calculated using the USEPA (1999) AQI formula, pollutants and meteorological factors relationships were determined using Pearson’s correlation and seasonal variation was measured using T–test. Highest and lowest CO were 25.85±7.42 µg/m3 in Kwali and 12.08±3.32 µg/m3 in Kadauri respectively, SO2 was also highest (48.15±12.42 µg/m3) and lowest (31.74±6.67 µg/m3) in Kwali and Kadauri respectively. O3 was highest (151.29±29.74 ppb) and lowest (107.38±21.95 ppb), while PM10 was highest (498.37±48.49 µg/m3) and lowest (319.31±44.86 µg/m3) in Duke and Kadauri respectively. Air quality parameters generally exceeded the WHO limit while CO, SO2, and PM2.5 had significant difference (P0.05) across sampling stations. Mining areas had hazardous AQI with Duke being the highest (392) and Kadauri had 248 implying very unhealthy atmosphere. Pollutants correlated negatively with humidity and positively with pressure, temperature inversely correlated with NO2, SO2 and PM2.5 while pollutants’ dry season concentrations were significantly higher. Information and regulation of mining activities is suggested as well as the use of PPEs.

Abstract

The topic of potential conflicts related to land use involving human activities in a watershed is an important matter to be discussed. The background of this research is that conditions in mountainous watersheds, and agricultural land use cause changes in ecosystem services, with trade-offs between crop production and erosion regulation. Watershed management with an environmental concept often faces problems with different interests among stakeholders. Although several studies have initiated the mapping of land-use conflicts between human activities and conservation, the spatial assessment of land-use conflicts on environmental issues and trade-offs of ecosystem services in agricultural areas has not been fully considered. The purpose of this study is to map land use, with indicators of measuring conflicts in the value of conservation and agricultural development, through scenarios of the level of erosion hazard on agricultural land. This study provides input to decision-makers regarding watershed conservation efforts that still consider aspects of the economic needs of agricultural land. The objective of the reviewers is to understand how the concept of mapping the potential conflict of land use in the Haean watershed in South Korea can be applied in Indonesia. The methodology used is to apply the agricultural land suitability index based on various analytical criteria to estimate the spatial preferences of agricultural activities. To predict erosion, using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) method and the classification of agricultural land in the watershed is divided into four levels of land use conflict (lowest, low, high, and highest).

Abstract

With this issue, the Indonesia Journal of Applied Environmental Studies (InJAST) enters its second year, having been first published in April 2020 just as the Covid-19 pandemic was spreading globally. In the first two issues, InJAST published 13 articles, which were the results of research and ideas from academia, researchers from the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and members of conservation NGOs. Within its first year, the InJAST website has been visited by around 1,500 visitors from 50+ countries.  Although the majority were from Indonesia, 30% were from across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa, and included the USA, UK, Australia, and India.One of InJAST's missions is to provide a vehicle for academia (students and lecturers), members of environmental NGOs, and young researchers, particularly from Indonesia, who are just starting to publish their ideas, literature reviews and research findings or articles in scientific journals. InJAST was also developed to accommodate scientific papers related to broader environmental topics, but as yet, most articles have focused on plant/wildlife ecology, nature conservation, and forest restoration (61%). Others were the result of the studies on environmental education (8%) and on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other environmental issues (31%).As we start the third decade of the 21st century, the environmental challenges we face are ever more complex and demanding. The UNs global action plan for the next 10 years set out in the "UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", puts forward special measures to achieve a world that is fairer, more prosperous, and more respectful of the environment. The main global environmental challenges that, according to the UN, must be resolved in this decade, are climate change mitigation and adaptation, pollution problems and their effects on health, protecting oceans, the energy transitions and renewables, a sustainable food model, protecting biodiversity, sustainable urban development and mobility, hydric stress and water scarcity, extreme meteorological phenomena, and overpopulation and waste management. As academics, environmental researchers, and members of environmental NGOs, we can and should support the UN agenda by seeking the solutions to these major global environmental problems that affect all of us. We do this by carrying out relevant research and, just as importantly, publishing them in scientific journals so that we can disseminate our findings as widely as possible and suggested interventions can be trialed and then implemented on the ground.This new issue of InJAST contains several papers focusing on plant ecology, endangered species conservation, and forest restoration, all of which are closely related to one of the main global problems identified by the UN, namely protecting biodiversity. Another paper analyses determinants and typology of hydrometeorological disasters that may relate to the problem of extreme meteorological phenomena. Strong pro-environmental legislation and government regulations are very important in implementing existing environmental policies, and environmental awareness and responsibility are also important to assess whether people are willing to participate in addressing global environmental problems at the local level. This is explored in two other papers in this issue of InJAST.We reflect further that we are in a hugely different place from where we were at the start of 2020. The Covid pandemic, obviously a global tragedy, has changed many peoples behavioral patterns and our subsequent impact of nature and the environment. It seems to have in many ways heightened people's awareness of nature and environmental issues, and the relationships between unsustainable production and consumption and the nature and climate change crises. A plethora of new research is emerging on these interdisciplinary questions and we look forward to submissions tackling these questions in future editions of InJAST.Finally, as Editors-in-Chief, we have been working hard to improve and expand our peer review community, as well as the processes of online submission, reviewing and publishing.  We are delighted to be presenting Volume 2 No 1 of InJAST and we encourage our colleagues from all sectors to submit their papers for the next issue.
