Abstract
We explore the impact of teaching methods and learning styles on student engagement in a conservation education program focused on primate conservation in Indonesia. Engaging students is essential for fostering environmental literacy and encouraging pro-environmental behaviours. We assessed the effectiveness of active versus didactic teaching methods and visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learning styles in enhancing engagement. Using a formative assessment
Abstract
land limitation dramatically affects people with land-based livelihoods, such as farmers, andis often an obstacle to earning sufficient income for their family’s needs. Privately ownedforests (POFs) are a land-based farming activity with a long history in indonesian society. thisstudy aimed to determine the socio-economic conditions, inequality, poverty, and livelihooddynamics of POF farmers. the research was conducted in three villages in ciamis Regency,West
Abstract
The tropical rainforest of Kalimantan, Indonesia, is dominated by a mixed dipterocarp forest. Rubroshorea johorensis is a commercial species of the Dipterocarpaceae family but is listed as vulnerable. So far, the management of natural forests through selective logging may have a negative impact on genetic diversity. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the genetic diversity of R. johorensis in different forest types representing the management and
Abstract
Tribal leaders in Papua had been positioned as both cultural symbols and real decision-making leaders, but they have lost their power over natural resource management and forests. Using the case of nutmeg management by the tribal Baham-Matta community, we present changes in the power constellations within the local social structures, in which the Kings (Patuans), the highest tribal leaders, have increasingly been unable to rule their people. In this research,
Abstract
The wide areas of critical land in Indonesia are attracting a high level of attention due to the significant influence of global warming. Addressing this issue requires several priority efforts, such as critical land rehabilitation programs. The level of critical land rehabilitation can be evaluated with remote sensing technology. Therefore, this research aimed to assess critical land in South Sulawesi rehabilitated by PT Vale Indonesia Tbk (PT VI) as compensation
Abstract
The prevalence of bulbuls in the Indonesian cage bird trade raises concerns about its impact on their distributions and, consequently, the ecological balance. This study delves into the trade dynamics of bulbuls, examining their market prevalence and its correlation with their abundance in the wild and their suitable habitats. We conducted bird market surveys across Java, supplemented by online trade surveys to ascertain market prevalence. Concurrently, we
Abstract
Hipposideros spp. are insectivorous bats and karst cave dwellers. This study aimed to study the roosting ecology, reproduction, and population fluctuations of three species H. diadema, H. larvatus, and H. ater in Gunung Sewu Karst region, Indonesia. Age and reproductive status of individuals were identified and analyzed using a combination of forearm length (FA) and body mass grades (W). Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the correlation between
Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) diversity is influenced by biotic and abiotic factors. Several studies have shown the presence of AMF in ex-gold mining areas with low soil fertility and heavy metal accumulation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the diversity of AMF species in artisanal gold mining areas. The experimental design used is randomized group design with two treatment factors: the interval distance range from tailings disposal point (A)
Abstract
Ecotourism is a type of forest management that places a strong emphasis on the idea of balancing the use of forest resources for both environmental and economic purposes. Pinus Sari Forest (PSF) is an ecotourism object destination with the main tourist attraction being old pine trees which mark the shift from pine sap harvesting to tourism activities. Due to the transition of forest management in PSF, it is necessary to assess the sustainability of ecotourism
Abstract
Identifying rat and mouse species quickly, affordably, and accurately is crucial for effective populationmanagement, as well as for eradication or conservation purposes. However, the sheer diversity of these species poses achallenge. To address this, a molecular approach has been developed, involving the amplification of a short genetic markerfrom materials commonly left by the animal, such as hairs and feces. Recent available PCR primers were not suitable
