Abstract

Conservation-based landscape planning is an increasingly important strategic approach in addressing the challenges of ecosystem degradation and species extinction due to land use change, habitat fragmentation, and climate change. This article aims to analyze how landscape planning can effectively support the conservation of target species and target ecosystems within the framework of sustainable biodiversity management. Through a systematic literature review of 30 articles of reputable international journals (2005–2025), this study identifies the main principles, planning methods, and indicators of success in integrating conservation into landscape spatial planning. The results show that ecosystem-based approaches, connectivity planning, and multi-stakeholder participation are the main foundations in conservation landscape planning. Indicator species and umbrella species are often used as proxies to identify priority areas, while target ecosystems are selected based on their level of uniqueness, threat, and ecological function. The integration of GIS-based spatial data and habitat modeling allows for effective identification of ecological corridors and conservation core areas. Studies also found that long-term success relies heavily on supportive policies, institutional capacity, and local community involvement. This article concludes that holistic and adaptive landscape planning is key to achieving conservation goals while supporting sustainable development. Policy recommendations include strengthening cross-sectoral landscape governance and building technical capacity in evidence-based planning.

Abstract

Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera) are a group of insects that are sensitive to habitat changes, making them potential bioindicators of ecosystem health. This study aims to evaluate the structure of butterfly communities in three habitat types—forest, shrubland, and open areas—in the Bukit Doa Mahawu area, Tomohon. Observations were conducted using a 300-meter-long, 10-meter-wide line transect method during two observation periods: March and July 2025. The results showed that 43 butterfly species from four families were recorded, with the highest diversity index (H’ = 3.10) in the forest habitat, while the open area had the highest number of individuals and was dominated by generalist species. Variations in microclimate, vegetation structure, and disturbance levels influenced differences in community composition between habitats. The novelty of this study lies in the provision of baseline data on butterfly communities and their relationship with environmental factors and disturbance levels as a foundation for monitoring ecosystem health in the Bukit Doa Mahawu ecotourism area.

Abstract

Child abuse in daycare centers constitutes a violation of children's rights to protection and proper care. This study aims to analyze the criminal liability of perpetrators of child abuse in daycare centers from the perspective of Islamic criminal law. The research employs a normative legal method with a library research approach. Data were collected through documentation and literature review of relevant primary and secondary legal sources and were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method. The findings indicate that violence against children, whether committed intentionally or through negligence, constitutes a jarimah (criminal act) that is contrary to the objectives of Islamic law (maqashid al-shari'ah), particularly the protection of life (hifz al-nafs) and lineage (hifz al-nasl). Perpetrators may be held criminally liable through the application of qisas, diyat, or ta'zir sanctions according to the degree of fault and the consequences of their actions. Therefore, criminal liability in Islamic law serves not only as a means of punishment but also as an effort to protect children's rights and prevent violence in daycare environments.

Abstract

Violence against children in daycare centers has become a serious concern because children are a vulnerable group that requires special protection. This study aims to analyze the legal protection provided to child victims of violence in daycare centers, examine the role of daycare as a child care institution, and explore cases of child abuse occurring in Palembang City. This research employs a normative legal research method using a library research approach. The data used are secondary data obtained from the examination of legislation, books, scientific journals, and other relevant literature. Data were collected through documentation studies and analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method. The findings indicate that child protection is a shared responsibility of families, communities, daycare providers, and the government. Although daycare centers serve as institutions that support children's growth and development, cases of violence still occur due to weak supervision, inadequate caregiver competence, and the ineffective implementation of child protection systems. In Palembang City, incidents of violence against children in childcare institutions highlight the urgent need to strengthen monitoring mechanisms, improve caregiver quality, and enforce legal protections more effectively. These measures are essential to ensure the fulfillment of children's rights and to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

Abstract

The Maleo (Macrocephalon maleo) is an endemic species of Sulawesi facing serious threats of extinction due to habitat loss, poaching, and disturbance at nesting sites. This article presents a comprehensive review of Maleo population dynamics over the past decade (2013–2024), analyzes the effectiveness of implemented conservation strategies, and identifies research gaps requiring further attention. The study synthesizes peer-reviewed literature, field monitoring reports, and official data from conservation agencies. Results indicate that Maleo populations have declined at an average rate of 3–5% annually, with habitat loss accelerated by agricultural expansion and settlement growth. Current estimates suggest only 4,000–8,000 mature individuals remain in the wild, classifying the species as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List. Community-based conservation programs and semi-in situ management in parts of Central and North Sulawesi have shown promising results, with hatching success rates of 60–80% at managed sites. However, fragmented cross-regional policies and limited long-term funding remain unresolved structural barriers. An integrated conservation approach combining ecological, social, and governance dimensions is essential to ensure the species’ long-term survival.

Abstract

The Sario Sub-Watershed is a densely populated urban catchment in Manado City, North Sulawesi, that drains directly into Manado Bay and is prone to recurring floods and riverbed siltation. This study analyzed the rate of soil erosion and the amount of sediment reaching the Sario River in the downstream part of the sub-watershed, an area not yet specifically assessed by earlier studies covering the whole Sario watershed. Erosion was estimated using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) integrated with a Geographic Information System (GIS), combining rainfall erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), slope length and steepness (LS), land cover (C), and conservation practice (P) factors derived from ten years (2015-2024) of rainfall data, soil and land-cover maps, and a Digital Elevation Model. The resulting sediment yield delivered to the river was then estimated using the Sediment Delivery Ratio (SDR) of Auerswald (1992) and the Boyce method. Results show a total annual erosion of 715,436.74 tons across 1,207.10 ha, or an area-weighted average of 592.69 tons/ha/year, placing the sub-watershed in Erosion Hazard Class V (very severe) under Indonesian Ministry of Forestry Regulation No. 32/2009. Class V areas cover 596.96 ha (49.45%), concentrated on steep, densely settled terrain dominated by Eutric Cambisol soil. The estimated SDR of 0.291 yields a sediment load of 208,191.90 tons/year reaching the Sario River. These findings indicate that erosion and sedimentation in the sub-watershed are driven mainly by steep topography combined with low-conservation-value settlement land, underlining the need for forestry-based watershed interventions such as land rehabilitation, urban green open space development, riparian buffer strips, and agroforestry to reduce erosion, sedimentation, and recurrent flooding.
