The method used in this test is to use the method of Observation and Interview. Observational information is checked using subjective enlightenment checks, while conversations with information are broken down using a rating procedure based on an information scale, then, at that point, information is introduced in a flattened structure and then described quantitatively and subjectively. The area where information is collected is the RT/RW located in the beach front area. The results obtained in this study found that the level of awareness of the coastal communities of Kelapa Lima and Pasir Panjang in terms of climate tidiness in general was at a very high classification which was triggered by assistance from the environmental government and regional cooperation in the implementation of certain projects, such as clean Friday gymnastics. which is routinely carried out which is limited by the RT leadership in each kelurahan, in addition to the area having an interest in activities to maintain the neatness of the coastal climate. which is usually carried out by local cleaning activists such as the existence of related agencies, for example several universities that often carry out regional administration exercises as socialization and beach cleaning exercises followed by involving the community around the coastal area, so that it will clearly affect the nearest local area so that they stay focused on environmental cleanliness.

POLA DISTRIBUSI KERUANGAN CHLOROPHYLL-A DAN SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE TERHADAP HASIL TANGKAPAN TUNA CAKALANG, MENGGUNAKAN CITRA MODIS AQUA LEVEL 3 DI TAMAN NASIONAL PERAIRAN LAUT SAWU

Abstrak – Distiribusi ikan cakalang dipengaruhi oleh kondisi oseanografi secara spasial (keberadaan tempatnya). Suhu Permukaan Laut dan Klorofil-a adalah parameter osenaografi yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi keberadaan ikan target tangkapan. Ikan Cakalang (Katsuwonus pelamis) merupakan komod- iti utama hasil tangkapan dari alat tangkap pole and line. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasi dan menggunakan penerapan teknologi Citra Aqua MODIS level 3 di wilayah Taman Nasional Perairan Laut Sawu. Data lapangan diambil selama 6 kali trip penangkapan terhitung bulan Juli, Agustus dan September tahun 2020. Distribusi SPL dan Klorofil-a cukup berfluktuatif pada setiap daerah penangka- pan ikan, kisaran Klorofil-aberada pada angka (0.42 - 0,46 mg/m³), dan SPL(27,22 - 28,65ºC)hal ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa sebaran kedua parameter mengalami perubahan pada setiap bulan. Hasil tangkapan ikan terendah berada pada trip I bulan Juli 3.761 Kg dan tertinggi pada trip VI bulan septem- ber 6.886 Kg, total keseluruhan hasil tangkapan ikan adalah 31.284 Kg. Hasil pengujian statistik ko- relasi berganda memperlihatkan adanya hubungan secara simultan antara SPL dan klorofil-a terhadap tangkapan ikan tuna cakalang dengan nilai Sig. F Change sebesar 0.281 dan R (koefisien korelasi) sebe- sar 0.756, sehingga disimpulkan kedalam kelas kategori berhubungan (korelasi kuat). Kata Kunci : Katsuwonus pelamis, Suhu Permukaan Laut, Klorofil-a, Fishing Ground, MODIS Aqua   Abstract – The distribution of skipjack tuna is influenced by spatial oceanographic conditions (the exist- ence of its place). Sea Surface Temperature and Chlorophyll-a are oceanographic parameters used to detect the presence of target fish catches. Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) is the main commodity caught from pole and line fishing gear. This research uses the observation method and uses the applica- tion of Aqua MODIS level 3 technology in the area of the Savu Sea National Park. Field data was taken for 6 fishing trips starting in July, August and September 2020. The distribution of SST and Chloro- phyll-a was quite fluctuating in each fishing area, the range of Chlorophyll-a was in the number (0.42 -0.46 mg/m³ ), and SPL (27.22 - 28.65ºC) it can be concluded that the distribution of the two parameters changes every month. The lowest fish catch was on trip I in July 3,761 kg and the highest on trip VI in September was 6,886 kg, the total fish catch was 31,284 kg. The results of the multiple correlation sta- tistical test showed that there was a simultaneous relationship between SST and chlorophyll-a on skip- jack tuna catches with a Sig value. F Change is 0.281 and R (coefficient of correlation) is 0.756, so it can be concluded that it belongs to the related category (strong correlation).

Zooplankton has an important role in ecosystems as a primary producer liaison with biota at higher trophic levels. This study aims to compare the community structure of zooplankton during high and low tide at Selam Estuary and Pohon Duri Oesapa Kupang. A Sampling at each location was carried out at three sub - locations starting from the mouth of the estuary towards the river with a distance between the sub - locations along 100 m, so the distance from the first point to the third point was 200 m. At each sampling point 100 liter of water samples was filtered into 250 ml sample bottles. A total of 1 ml sub-samples was poured in a sedgewick rafter cell, then examinated by identified the type and number of zooplankton using a binocular microscope. The composition, abundance, the diversity index (H'), evennes index (E'), and dominance (D) were analyzed for the study of zooplankton community structure. The results showed that the composition was dominated by Ciliata Class with a percentage of between 73.80% - 81.17% at high tide and at low tide the percentage was between 42.99 %-80.56%. The predominant group was Copepod Class with a percentage between 14.41 %-17.63 % at the time of high tide and low tide between 16.87 %-42.99 %. Total zooplankton abundance at high tide between 39 Ind/l- 90 Ind / l,while the abundance at low tide between 47 Ind/l-71 Ind/l. The number of types of zooplankton at the time of tide was between 10-14 types and at low tide between 10-12 types. Diversity index value (H') at high tide beptween 1.50 - 1.79 and at low tide between 1.65 - 1.90. The eveness index (E') at high tide is between 0.64-0.68 and at low tide was between 0.73 - 0.76. The dominance index (D) at the time of tide was between 0.26 - 0.33 and at low tide between 0.21 - 0.24. There were no significant differences in the whole study of community structure during the high and low tide. Keywords : Estuary, Zooplankton, Community Structure, Tides

Towards a co‐crediting system for carbon and biodiversity

This is the final version. Available from Wiley via the DOI in this record. DATA AVAILABILITY STATEMENT: Data sharing is not applicable to this article because no new data were generated or analysed in this studySocietal Impact Statement: Humankind is facing both climate and biodiversity crises. This article proposes the foundations of a scheme that offers tradable credits for combined aboveground and soil carbon and biodiversity. Multidiversity—as estimated based on high-throughput molecular identification of soil meiofauna, fungi, bacteria, protists, plants and other organisms shedding DNA into soil, complemented by acoustic and video analyses of aboveground macrobiota—offers a cost-effective method that captures much of the terrestrial biodiversity. Such a voluntary crediting system would increase the quality of carbon projects and contribute funding for delivering the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Summary: Carbon crediting and land offsets for biodiversity protection have been developed to tackle the challenges of increasing greenhouse gas emissions and the loss of global biodiversity. Unfortunately, these two mechanisms are not optimal when considered separately. Focusing solely on carbon capture—the primary goal of most carbon-focused crediting and offsetting commitments—often results in the establishment of non-native, fast-growing monocultures that negatively affect biodiversity and soil-related ecosystem services. Soil contributes a vast proportion of global biodiversity and contains traces of aboveground organisms. Here, we outline a carbon and biodiversity co-crediting scheme based on the multi-kingdom molecular and carbon analyses of soil samples, along with remote sensing estimation of aboveground carbon as well as video and acoustic analyses-based monitoring of aboveground macroorganisms. Combined, such a co-crediting scheme could help halt biodiversity loss by incentivising industry and governments to account for biodiversity in carbon sequestration projects more rigorously, explicitly and equitably than they currently do. In most cases, this would help prioritise protection before restoration and help promote more socially and environmentally sustainable land stewardship towards a ‘nature positive’ future.Estonian Science FoundationEEA Financial Mechanism Baltic Research ProgrammeNovo Nordisk FondenSwedish Research CouncilNWO-VICISwedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research (MISTRA)Royal Botanic Gardens, KewSPUNNWO Gravit

Benefits of a ball and chain: simple environmental enrichments improve welfare and reproductive success in farmed American mink (Neovison vison)

Can simple enrichments enhance caged mink welfare? Pilot data from 756 sub-adults spanning three colour-types (strains) identified potentially practical enrichments, and suggested beneficial effects on temperament and fur-chewing. Our main experiment started with 2032 Black mink on three farms: from each of 508 families, one juvenile male-female pair was enriched (E) with two balls and a hanging plastic chain or length of hose, while a second pair was left as a non-enriched (NE) control. At 8 months, more than half the subjects were killed for pelts, and 302 new females were recruited (half enriched: ‘late E’). Several signs of improved welfare or productivity emerged. Access to enrichment increased play in juveniles. E mink were calmer (less aggressive in temperament tests; quieter when handled; less fearful, if male), and less likely to fur-chew, although other stereotypic behaviours were not reduced. On one farm, E females had lower cortisol (inferred from faecal metabolites). E males tended to copulate for longer. E females also weaned more offspring: about 10% more juveniles per E female, primarily caused by reduced rates of barrenness (‘late E’ females also giving birth to bigger litters on one farm), effects that our data cautiously suggest were partly mediated by reduced inactivity and changes in temperament. Pelt quality seemed unaffected, but E animals had cleaner cages. In a subsidiary side-study using 368 mink of a second colour-type (‘Demis’), similar temperament effects emerged, and while E did not reduce fur-chewing or improve reproductive success in this colour-type, E animals were judged to have better pelts. Overall, simple enrichments were thus beneficial. These findings should encourage welfare improvements on fur farms (which house 60-70 million mink p.a.) and in breeding centres where endangered mustelids (e.g. black-footed ferrets) often reproduce poorly. They should also stimulate future research into more effective practical enrichments

Saving nature or nation in the Kachin Hills: an ethnography of encounters

Amid decades of ethno-political war, northernmost Burma’s Kachin people have increasingly come into encounters with international projects for grabbing or saving local nature. Drawing on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in 2017–2019, this thesis explores encounters between the Kachin ethno-national movement and outside-led projects of resource extraction and nature conservation. The thesis argues for ethnographic approaches that do not assume certain outcomes, but instead foreground diversely situated, contradictory, and empathic voices – both local and from outside – to explain why such encounters can lead to clash, collaboration, disconnect, or other pathways. The studied encounters showed many-sided disconnect, distrust, outreach, and collaboration amid war, driven by different sides’ comparable senses of emergency over saving natures or nations. Telling such stories of many-sided encounters can help anthropology in addressing analytical and ethical challenges when representing multi-scale conflict, conspiracy accusations, and ecological destruction.</p

Abstrak - Kesadaran adalah proses memahami dan mengerti akan suatu keadaan yang menjadikan individu itu sendiri sadar dan paham betul dengan apa yang terjadi dan yang akan terjadi. Sebagai mahkluk sosial dan dimensional, manusia seharusnya berinteraksi dan bersosialisasi antara satu sama lain, sebagai upaya dalam membangun kesadaran kolektif dalam melestarikan alam, mulai dari hal yang terkecil, seperti memperhatikan kebersihan lingkungan sekitar. Tujuan dari kajian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kesadaran masyarakat Kelurahan Oesapa dan Lasiana terhadap kebersihan lingkungan wilayah pesisir. Kajian ini dilakukan di wilayah pesisir Kelurahan Oesapa dan Lasiana pada Bulan Februari sampai Maret 2021. Metode yang digunakan yaitu Teknik Purposive Sampling merupakan teknik pengambilan sampel berdasarkan pertimbangan tertentu. Pertimbangan tertentu dalam menentukan sampel ini dilihat dari masyarakat yang berperan aktif dalam urusan terkait kebersihan lingkungan atau juga masyarakat yang memilliki pengetahuan terhadap keadaan sesama masyarakat dalam hal ini interaksinya terhadap kebersihan lingkungan yang ditempati. Hasil dari kajian ini adalah kesadaran masyarakat terhadap kebersihan wilayah pesisir Kelurahan Oesapa dan Lasiana yaitu sebesar 82,00%, dimana kebersihan lingkungan di sekitarnya sudah sangat tinggi dan&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sangat baik. Kata Kunci: Kesadaran Masyarakat, Masyarakat Pesisir, Kebersihan Lingkungan &nbsp; Abstract -&nbsp;Awareness is the process of understanding and understanding a situation that makes the individual himself aware and well aware of what is happening and what will happen. As social and dimensional beings, humans should interact and socialize with each other, as an effort to build collective awareness in preserving nature, starting from the smallest things, such as paying attention to the cleanliness of the surrounding environment (Iskandar, 2012). The purpose of this study was to determine the awareness of the people of Oesapa and Lasiana Villages on the cleanliness of the coastal area environment. This study was conducted in the coastal areas of Oesapa and Lasiana Villages from February to March 2021. The method used is the Purposive Sampling Technique, which is a sampling technique based on certain considerations. Certain considerations in determining this sample are seen from the people who play an active role in matters related to environmental hygiene or also the people who have knowledge of the condition of their fellow people in this case their interaction with the cleanliness of the environment they live in. The results of this study are public awareness of the cleanliness of the coastal areas of Oesapa and Lasiana Villages, which is 82.00%, where the cleanliness of the surrounding environment is very high and very good.&nbsp; Keywords: Community Awareness, Coastal Communities, Environmental Cleanli

Dodo dilemmas: conflicting ethical loyalties in conservation social science research

In a time of deepening social and ecological crises, the question of research ethics is more pertinent than ever. Our intervention grapples with the specific personal, ethical, and methodological challenges that arise at the interface of conservation and social science. We expose these challenges through the figure of Chris, a fictional anoymised composite of our fraught diverse fieldwork experiences in Australia, Burma, Indonesian Borneo, Namibia, and Vanuatu. Fundamentally, we explore fieldwork as a series of contested loyalties: loyalties to our different human and non-human research participants, to our commitments to academic rigour and to the project of wildlife conservation itself, whilst reckoning with conservation&#x2019;s spotted (neo)colonial past. Our struggles and reflections illustrate: Firstly, that practical research ethics do not predetermine forms of reciprocity. Secondly, while we need to choose our concealments carefully and follow the principle of not doing harm, we also have the responsibility to reveal social and environmental injustices. Thirdly, we must acknowledge that as researchers we are complicit in the practices of human and nonhuman violence and exclusion that suffuse conservation. Finally, given how these responsibilities move the researcher beyond a position of innocence or neutrality, academic institutions should adjust their ethics support. This intervention highlights the need for greater openness about research challenges emerging from conflicting personal, ethical, and disciplinary loyalties, in order to facilitate greater cross-disciplinary understanding. Active engagement with these ethical questions through collaborative dialogue-based fora, both before and after fieldwork, would enable learning and consequently transform research practices
