Commonly, studies of human-primate interactions dwelled into general human impacts on primates. However, gender differences might be a deeper factor to study regarding human’s perception and acceptance We investigated the influences orangutan bi-directional receptions analyzed formed between two, located in Lamandau Wildlife Reserve, Central Kalimantan. conducted interviews with 30 locals by using snowball convenience sampling techniques, some criteria applied. This unveiled that orangutans...

Globally, amphibian populations are facing a substantial decline attributed to environmental degradation and lack of public attention. Indonesia, which one countries with the high number species in world, paradoxically holds record for highest data-deficient amphibians. Indonesia currently has only protected species, bleeding toad (Leptophryne cruentata) also categorized as Critically Endangered. Considering this, our study undertakes comprehensive review research, highlighting research gaps...

This study explores two large carnivores, Javan leopard (Panthera pardus melas) and dhole (Cuon alpinus) that are known to have an overlapping diet sympatric in the south-western part of West Java. We characterised their spatiotemporal habitat together with four medium-sized prey species. used photographs collected along 39.420 night-traps from 108 camera-traps installed on peninsula Ujung Kulon National Park (UKNP). using maximum entropy modelling (MaxEnt) investigate seasonal environmental...

Biodiversity monitoring is crucial in tackling defaunation the Anthropocene, particularly tropical ecosystems. However, field surveys are often limited by habitat complexity, logistical constraints, financing and detectability. Hence, leveraging drones technology for species required to overcome caveats of conventional surveys. We investigated prospective methods wildlife using four surveyed waterbird populations Pulau Rambut, a community ungulates Baluran endemic non-human primates Gunung...

Wildlife monitoring in tropical rainforests poses additional challenges due to species often being elusive, cryptic, faintly colored, and preferring concealable, or difficult access habitats. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) prove promising for wildlife surveys different ecosystems forests can be crucial conserving inaccessible biodiverse areas their associated species. Traditional that involve infiltrating animal habitats could adversely affect the habits behavior of elusive cryptic response...

Tropical Rainforest Heritage sites of Sumatra are some the most irreplaceable landscapes in world for biodiversity conservation. These harbor many endangered Asiatic mammals all suffering multifaceted threats due to anthropogenic activities. Three charismatic Sumatra: Elephas maximus sumatranus, Pongo abelii, and Panthera tigris sumatrae protected listed as Critically Endangered (CR) within IUCN Red List. Nevertheless, their current geographic distribution remains unclear, impact...

Abstract Conservation of rare ungulates requires reliable population size estimates and distribution maps for prioritizing investments assessing the effectiveness conservation measures. We used both camera trapping a random encounter model approach, faecal pellet group counts, to update range Bawean deer Axis kuhlii in Island Nature Reserve Wildlife Sanctuary, Indonesia. studied 2-month periods fulfil assumption closure. Both methods provided similar density (higher dry season) c. 227–416...

Tropical rainforests are one of the important habitats on earth but rarely explored because they difficult to access, making their cryptic animals challenging monitor. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with thermal infrared imaging (TIR) technology is gaining entry into wildlife research and monitoring. The researcher tested possibility applying DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual FLIR as survey platforms in five tree density classes IPB University Campus. To assess effectiveness using drones detecting...

Understanding the ecological niche and spatial distribution of wildlife species is important for conserving enhancing biodiversity in a landscape system. Banteng (Bos javanicus) vital source germplasm protected by Indonesia law considered to be Endangered under International Union Conservation Nature list. During 2015 2017, surveys were undertaken on largest population wild banteng occurring Ujung Kulon National Park. Data gathered from long-term camera trapping assess using Maximum Entropy...

Various biotic and abiotic environmental factors influence the preservation of butterfly species in an area. The pressure threat extinction for butterflies that occupy relatively narrow isolated habitats such as small islands are pretty large. This study aims to estimate diversity species, predict colonization, local butterflies, conservation implications minimize habitat type on Pasoso Island, Central Sulawesi Province. Data was collected using field observations four land cover types...

Timor deer breeding activities as a type of animal that has economic value have been widely carried out in Indonesia. However, management the form determining harvest quotas affect feasibility business is still minimal various captive Indonesia.The objective this research were to determine quota timor and finansial cavtive Sadhana Arifnusa. The which once year determined based on calculation break even point (BEP). scenario harvesting twice growth rate, population rate. Financial measured...

Efforts to release animals resulting from evacuation and rehabilitation into their natural habitats are important practices in wildlife conservation. Before releasing the animals, it is assess habitat suitability of areas support existence long run. Yet, there limited study assessment on national parks as locations for wild animals. This aimed suitable five charismatic animal species, i.e., Panthera pardus melas, Hylobates moloch, Prinonailurus bengalensis, Nycticebus javanicus, Nisaetus...

Banteng, Bos javanicus, as wild cattle is a vital and importance source of germplasm in Indonesia. Various human activities currently threaten their conservation status. Nonetheless, no long-term monitoring programmes are place for this species. Using distribution point statistical analysis based on 46,116 camera trap days from December 2015 to January 2017, we aimed provide habitat preferences, activity patterns ecological data banteng population Ujung Kulon National Park (UKNP). It the...

Facing change of environmental conditions, the activity rhythm animals may habituate. Remote cameras were used to quantify Bawean deer and red muntjac patterns examined differences by season, sex lunar cycle respond predator presence, in Island Ujung Kulon National Park, Indonesia. Photographs ( n = 118) taken during March November 2014 for 4,142) January 2013 July 2014. Data analyzed using Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) test relationship between cycle, further, pattern daily overlap...

Despite being one of the rarest deer in world, critically endangered Bawean Axis kuhlii has received little conservation attention. Fauna monitoring is usually limited by lack resource; therefore, choice a relevant methodology fundamental to maximize cost–benefit ratio. We compared performance and cost three direct indirect methods survey protected areas Island. Camera trapping provided high number records (118 for 5500 camera days) ascertained identifications several other species. The...

The visual camouflage of many species living in the dense cover tropical rainforest become obstacles to conducting monitoring. Unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) combined with thermal infrared imaging (TIR) can rapidly scan large areas from above and detect wildlife that has a body temperature contrasts its surrounding environment. This research tested feasibility DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual FLIR as survey platforms terrestrial arboreal mammals five tree density classes remaining natural...

The Bawean deer plays a vital role in its small and isolated ecosystem as herbivore effective seed disperser, well holds cultural importance to the local community. However, ecology of this Critically Endangered is poorly studied. Using random encounter occupancy modeling based on 29,350 camera trap days between 2017 2019, we aimed provide population estimates, habitat preferences, behavioral data for species. was 120–277 mature individuals, much less than number 1978. density could be...

Drone technology plays a critical role in supporting conservation efforts for endangered species, not only terms of species monitoring within various landscapes, but also potentially when applied to behavioral studies investigate interaction patterns and response environmental change.
