Abstract

Community-based conservation is a strategic approach to biodiversity conservation, especially in areas with strong social and cultural ties to natural resources. However, the effectiveness of collaborative governance within this approach is often not fully understood, particularly in relation to the dynamics of power relations and interdependence between actors. This study aims to analyze the roles, influences, and relationships among key actors in supporting the performance of sea turtle conservation programs at the Turtle Conservation and Education Center (TCEC) in Serangan, Bali. Using a mixed-method approach, this study combines MACTOR analysis to map the influence-dependence structure of eight key actors and quantitative descriptive analysis to assess management performance based on the perceptions of 30 respondents. The results show that Bandesa Adat Serangan has the highest influence as the holder of socio-cultural legitimacy, while TCEC Management is the most central actor with the highest level of dependence on multi-actor support. TCEC management performance is generally rated as Good to Very Good, with the highest scores for Sea Turtle Population Conservation (4.60) and Education (4.55). These findings confirm that synergy between customary institutions and formal managers is a key factor in the success of conservation governance. The resulting policy implications encourage the strengthening of community-based collaborative mechanisms in the design and implementation of sustainable coastal conservation programs.

Abstract

Peat swamp forests in South Sumatra play a vital role in climate change mitigation through carbon storage and hydrological regulation. However, anthropogenic pressures such as illegal logging, land conversion, and recurring fires have led to severe ecosystem degradation, including within the Padang Sugihan Wildlife Reserve, which covers approximately 86,932 hectares. This reserve serves as a critical habitat for endemic flora and fauna but has experienced a decline in forest cover and ecological functions, ultimately affecting its carbon storage capacity. This study aimed to estimate vegetation density and carbon stock through a combination of field observations, spatial analysis (land cover change, NDVI, and carbon stock), and allometric approaches. Eight plots measuring 20×20 m were established based on the 2024 land cover map, representing similar secondary forest vegetation structures. The analysis followed SNI 7724:2011 standards for carbon stock measurement and calculation. The results revealed significant land cover changes between 2020 and 2024, including a reduction in secondary peat swamp forest and an increase in open areas, plantations, and water bodies. NDVI values and allometric measurements indicated spatial variations reflecting vegetation growth dynamics and carbon absorption potential. Plot 8 and Locus 4 recorded the highest carbon accumulation, at 1.602 and 10.63 tons CO₂e ha⁻¹, respectively, influenced by the dominance of Mahang species (Lauraceae family), vegetation density, and stand age. These findings highlight the critical role of secondary peat swamp forests in maintaining carbon balance and supporting peatland ecosystem restoration at the landscape level. The results also provide scientific evidence for developing sustainable management and conservation strategies for the Padang Sugihan Wildlife Reserve.

Abstract

The use of Local Microorganisms (LOM) in rice farming is an effort to utilize local resources and reduce cultivation practices that use chemical inputs. This study aims to compare the income and feasibility of lowland rice farming between farmers who use and those who do not use LOM in Pandan Enim Village, Tanjung Agung District, Muara Enim Regency. The research method used is a case study with a stratified disproportionate random sampling technique, each involving 15 LOM users and 15 non-LOM users. Data are described mathematically using the farm income formula and the ratio of revenue to production costs. The results indicate that increased rice production leads to higher incomes for LOM users compared to non-LOM users. The R/C value in the LOM user group is also greater than 1 and higher than the non-LOM user group, so rice farming with the application of LOM is declared more feasible to cultivate. Thus, the use of LOM is proven to provide better economic benefits and is worthy of being recommended as an efficient and sustainable rice crop management technology at the farmer level.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the sustainability status of rice husk waste processing as fuel for Biomass Power Plant (PLTBm) at PT Buyung Putra Pangan. The research was conducted in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra Province, from January to May 2023. The approach used was an expert preference approach through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving various stakeholders. Data were analyzed using the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method integrated into the RAPFISH software, focusing on three sustainability dimensions: social, economic, and environmental. The results showed that the economic dimension was categorized as moderately sustainable (index 61.21), while the social (45.92) and environmental (38.56) dimensions were categorized as less sustainable. The average sustainability index of 48.56 indicates that the rice husk waste processing at PT Buyung Putra Pangan is generally in a less sustainable status. These findings highlight the need for improvements in sensitive attributes, particularly in managing environmental impacts and enhancing community outreach, to ensure that the rice husk processing aligns with sustainable development principles.

Abstract

Environmental factors play an important role in the growth and survival of fish, both directly and indirectly. This role is not limited to determining the success of fish growth in terms of length and weight; fish behavior, feeding patterns, and metabolism are also affected. Photoperiod itself is defined as the length of time of light and dark exposure. This study aims to evaluate the effect of photoperiodism on the growth rate and physiological response of red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The study was conducted in Gandus District, Palembang City. Data and analysis were performed using a completely randomized design (CRD) with several parameters such as growth rate, weight gain, survival rate, and behavior of red tilapia observed qualitatively in response to treatment with varying light exposure times. The treatments given were 3 variations of light and dark exposure and 5 repetitions with variations P1: 20 hours of light: 4 hours of dark (20T; 4G) P2: 16 hours of light: 8 hours of dark (16T; 8G), and P3: 12 hours light : 12 hours dark (12T; 12G). The analysis results showed that red tilapia had a positive growth response, characterized by an increase in fish length and weight, caused by increased metabolism due to an increase in feed consumption rate. Fish behavior changed compared to the control group due to physiological stress caused by prolonged exposure to light.

Abstract

The coastal waters of Sungsang represent an estuarine area influenced by various anthropogenic activities, including fisheries, agriculture, water transportation, port operations, and domestic waste disposal. Despite the relatively high intensity of these activities, studies specifically assessing the ecological risk of heavy metal contamination in this area remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to provide an initial assessment of the ecological risk associated with Pb and Zn contamination in the coastal waters of Sungsang, South Sumatra. The research was conducted in September 2025, with sediment samples collected from four sampling stations using purposive sampling. Sampling was carried out during a single season; thus, the results represent instantaneous contamination conditions and do not fully reflect annual temporal variations. Heavy metal concentrations were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), following SNI No. 06-6992.3-2004 for Pb and SNI No. 06-6992.8-2004 for Zn. The results indicated that the average concentrations of Pb ranged from 14.39 to 19.17 mg/kg, while Zn concentrations ranged from 56.57 to 64.95 mg/kg. Based on sediment quality guidelines, these concentrations are classified as safe for aquatic biota. The geoaccumulation index (I_geo) values indicated that the sediments were unpolluted (I_geo < 0), while the contamination factor (CF) showed low contamination levels (CF < 1). Furthermore, pollution load index (PLI) values of less than one suggests that, overall, the sediments in the Sungsang coastal area have not experienced significant heavy metal pollution.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of supplementation of natural ingredients in pelleted feed on gonad maturity and survival of female Betta fish (Betta splendens). The research was carried out from April to June 2025 at the Aquaculture Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Muhammadiyah University, Palembang. The research design used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and three replications (a total of 15 containers). The basic feed used was PF 500 pellets. Treatment consisted of: P1 (100% pellets), P2 (pellets + Lactobacillus rhamnosus 100 mg%), P3 (pellets + 100 mg astaxanthin), P4 (pellets + combination of L. rhamnosus 70% + astaxanthin 30%), and P5 (pellets + combination of 70% astaxanthin + L. rhamnosus 30%). Parameters observed included an increase in body weight and length, survival, gonad maturity level (TKG), gonad maturity index (IKG), and fecundity. The results of the study showed that 100% astaxanthin (P3) supplementation provided the most optimal results in increasing body weight, survival, gonad maturity and fecundity of female B. splendens. Length growth did not show significant differences between treatments, while water quality during the study remained in the optimal range for keeping Betta fish. These findings confirm the potential of astaxanthin as an effective natural supplement in supporting the sustainable reproductive performance of ornamental fish.

Abstract

Floodplain wetlands are important inland water ecosystems with considerable potential for aquaculture development in Indonesia. These ecosystems, characterized by dynamic hydrological conditions and high biodiversity, support a wide variety of native and introduced fish species. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA protocol to examine the ecological, socio-economic, and policy factors that influence the feasibility of aquaculture in floodplain wetlands. Using the Publish or Perish (PoP) software and the Google Scholar database, a total of 996 articles published between 2020 and 2025 were reviewed, and 20 high-quality studies were selected for the final analysis.  A systematic literature review indicates that floodplain wetlands possess substantial ecological and economic potential for sustainable fish farming, particularly for local species adapted to flood dynamics. The success of sustainable management is largely determined by the application of adaptive management approaches, the strengthening of community-based governance, and the adoption of innovative practices aligned with wetland ecosystem characteristics. However, existing studies remain limited in addressing long-term monitoring, industrial-scale feasibility, and the impacts of climate change and land-use conversion, highlighting the need for further research.
