Abstract

The existence of the Racket-tailed Treepie Crypsirina temia on the island of Kalimantan, Indonesia, remains unconfirmed, despite several records and two specimens collected in South Kalimantan since the 20th century. During our birdwatching activities in several areas since 2017, we have encountered this bird and documented our sightings on the Burungnesia platform. We also recorded the habitat conditions where the bird was found to assess its habitat suitability in Kalimantan. Between 2017 and the present, we recorded 10 encounters with this bird from four provinces in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Notably, one record is from research conducted on Laut Island, South Kalimantan. The habitat records from the locations where this bird was found provide valuable information on suitable habitats and can serve as a reference for further research on this species in Kalimantan

Abstract

The Spiny Turtle Heosemys spinosa (Gray, 1831) is an endangered freshwater species found in parts of Southeast Asia, but records from offshore islands are scarce. This study documents the first occurrence of H. spinosa on Babi and Lasia Islands, off the west coast of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Between 15 October and 25 December 2023, nine individuals were observed on Lasia Island, and another on Babi Island in August 2025. The species was found in wet forest floors, mangroves, and leaf-littered habitats within protected forests. Both uninhabited islands retain extensive old-growth forest, suggesting they may serve as refuges for H. spinosa. This record expands the species’ known range and highlights the need for further research and conservation on Indonesia’s lesser-studied satellite islands.

Abstract

The Tempe floodplain lake system in South Sulawesi is one of Sulawesi’s most important wetland complexes for waterbirds. This paper consolidates records from 1985–2025, including published surveys, eBird data, and new field observations made in November 2023. A total of 69 waterbird and raptor species are now documented for the lake system, with four species newly recorded in 2023. Historical counts contrast sharply with much smaller numbers observed in recent years, suggesting possible population declines. Supplementary evidence from online hunting videos revealed that at least 19 waterbird species are currently targeted by recreational shooters using modern air rifles, highlighting a likely increase in hunting pressure since the 1990s. These findings support earlier concerns about the sustainability of bird harvesting in the Tempe wetlands and indicate a need for renewed monitoring and stronger management of hunting activities. The study demonstrates the value of integrating conventional field data with verified citizen-science and digital media sources to reassess the conservation status of under-studied tropical wetland ecosystems.

Abstract

Indonesia hosts a remarkable diversity of freshwater fishes, including numerous endemic wild Betta Betta spp. (Anabantiformes: Osphronemidae). However, the rise of e-commerce has facilitated unregulated online trade of wild Betta species. This study investigates the diversity, conservation status, and trade dynamics of wild Betta species between 1–21 October 2025, in Indonesia’s three largest online marketplaces: Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada. A total of 38 wild Betta species were identified, including five Critically Endangered, eleven Endangered, and seven Vulnerable taxa. The trade was dominated by species from Sumatra and Kalimantan, which together accounted for over 85% of endemic taxa. Market analysis revealed a positive correlation between rarity and price, with Endangered and Not Assessed species commanding the highest average prices. The presence of Critically Endangered species such as Betta hendra and B. burdigula indicates ongoing extraction from the wild despite conservation risks. Furthermore, nearly 26% of traded species remain Data Deficient or Not Assessed, reflecting critical knowledge gaps that hinder management and policy enforcement. The findings underscore the urgent need for stronger regulation of digital wildlife trade, improved conservation assessments, and promotion of captive breeding programs to reduce wild collection pressure.

Abstract

Anthropogenic land-use change is a primary driver of global biodiversity loss, yet rural agricultural matrices often retain significant ecological function. This study assesses the composition, diversity, and microhabitat associations of herpetofauna in two human-modified landscapes (Air Duren and Cengkong Abang) in Bangka Regency, Indonesia. Fieldwork was conducted over three consecutive weeks in July 2022 using a time-constrained Visual Encounter Survey (VES) method (19:00–21:00). We recorded 13 individuals representing 7 species and 6 families. The assemblage was dominated by generalist amphibians (Fejervarya cancrivora, Duttaphrynus melanostictus) and synanthropic reptiles (Eutropis multifasciata, Gekko smithii). Notably, Cengkong Abang hosted forest-associated arboreal species, including Tropidolaemus wagleri, Boiga dendrophila, and Ahaetulla prasina, correlating with its higher structural vegetation complexity. Diversity analysis revealed a higher Shannon-Wiener index in Cengkong Abang (H' = 1.75) compared to Air Duren (H' = 1.33). The presence of arboreal and semi-aquatic guilds indicates that rural matrices can function as permeable habitats and secondary refugia. Conservation strategies in Bangka should prioritize the retention of vegetation complexity and stratified canopies within village landscapes to sustain herpetofaunal biodiversity.
