Evaluasi Keragaan Kelompok Binaan Di Daerah Penyangga Bagian Selatan Taman Nasional Bunaken
This study aims to describe as well to evaluate the performance of the fostered groups in the southern buffer zone of the Bunaken National Park. This research was conducted from April to June 2022. The research method used is semi-quantitative analysis where data collection is carried out using a questionnaire to see the indicators of Institutional Management, Estate Management and Business Management of each target group based on the Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry PP.89/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/8/2018 concerning Forest Farmer Groups. The selection of respondents was done intentionally, who are the administrators and members of the Bunaken National Park Center assisted groups, namely: Cahaya Trans, Singkanaung, Mutirara Kreatif, Minaesa Sylva Jaya and Cahaya Tatapaan. The results of the interview will be verified with physical evidence in the form of Minutes, Decision Letters, Attendance and so on. The results showed that the dynamics of the different assisted groups fluctuated so that they needed social engineering to improve their performance, while for the performance assessment the Minaesa Sylva Jaya group with a score of 10.53 or the Less category, while for the three groups it was in the Enough category; Mutiara Kreatif (54.39), Cahaya Trans (47.37), and Singkanaung (33.33) while Cahaya Tatapaan with a score of 65.79 or included in the Good category. prevent a vacuum and maintain the continuity of the community empowerment program in the southern buffer area of Bunaken National Park
Strategi Pengembangan Hutan Kemasyarakatan Dalam Program Perhutanan Sosial Di Kawasan Hutan Lindung Gunung Lembean Wilayah Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan Unit V
The study aims to analyze the potential of biophysical civil-forest clearances, analyze economic, institutional, social and cultural conditions, and track stakeholders in determining civil-forest development strategies in the region of Lembean Mountain Reserves. The study was conducted for three months, ranging from March to May 2023. The data used is primary and secondary data. Primary data is collected through interviews, based on questionnaires. The number of respondents to the weight of four respondents with both expert and experienced levels of people's empowerment around the forest region. The number of respondents to give a twenty-first rate to those of a forest-farm group with a permit to use a community forest. The data collected in primary data concern economic conditions, institutional, social and cultural conditions, and stakeholder in determining development strategies. The turnaround strategy is a research strategy developed for the development of community forests in the Lembean Mountain Forest Area. The strategy is to facilitate the establishment and strengthening of group institutions, facilitate businesses wishing to invest with community groups through mutually beneficial cooperation, and develop patterns of agroforestry systems that have products and economic value
Degree of egg-taking by humans determines the fate of maleo (Macrocephalon maleo) nesting grounds across Sulawesi
The version of record of this article, first published in Biodiversity and Conservation, is available online at Publisher’s website: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10531-022-02527-1The maleo (Macrocephalon maleo) of Sulawesi, Indonesia, is culturally iconic and Critically Endangered, but the causes of its decline have never been systematically analyzed nor its nesting grounds comprehensively surveyed. We visited 122 previously known and 58 previously unrecorded sites, collecting data and interviewing local people at each site. We used ordinal logistic regression to fit models with combinations of 18 different predation, habitat, and nesting ground variables to determine the strongest predictors of nesting ground success, as represented by maleo numbers. At least 56% of known nesting grounds are now inactive (abandoned), and 63% of remaining active sites host ≤ 2 pairs/day at peak season. Egg-taking by humans is the single biggest driver of maleo decline. Protecting eggs in situ predicts higher numbers than protecting eggs through hatchery methods. After egg-taking, quality (not length) of the travel corridor connecting nesting ground to primary forest best predicts nesting ground success. Being inside a federally protected area is not a primary driver of success, and does not ensure persistence: 28% of federally protected nesting grounds have become inactive. Local conservation efforts protected nesting grounds 2‒3 times
better than federal protection. We update the methodology for assessing nesting ground status, and recommend five measures for maleo conservation, the foremost being to protect nesting grounds from egg-taking by humans at all remaining active sites
Safeguarding Imperiled Biodiversity and Evolutionary Processes in the Wallacea Center of Endemism
Safeguarding Imperiled Biodiversity and Evolutionary Processes in the Wallacea Center of Endemism
Wallacea—the meeting point between the Asian and Australian fauna—is one of the world's largest centers of endemism. Twenty-three million years of complex geological history have given rise to a living laboratory for the study of evolution and biodiversity, highly vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures. In the present article, we review the historic and contemporary processes shaping Wallacea's biodiversity and explore ways to conserve its unique ecosystems. Although remoteness has spared many Wallacean islands from the severe overexploitation that characterizes many tropical regions, industrial-scale expansion of agriculture, mining, aquaculture and fisheries is damaging terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, denuding endemics from communities, and threatening a long-term legacy of impoverished human populations. An impending biodiversity catastrophe demands collaborative actions to improve community-based management, minimize environmental impacts, monitor threatened species, and reduce wildlife trade. Securing a positive future for Wallacea's imperiled ecosystems requires a fundamental shift away from managing marine and terrestrial realms independently

Emerging threats from deforestation and forest fragmentation in the Wallacea centre of endemism
The Wallacea biogeographic region of Sulawesi, the Moluccas and Lesser Sunda is globally renowned for exceptional endemism, but is currently emerging as a development frontier in Indonesia. We assessed patterns and drivers of forest loss and fragmentation across the region, and used dynamic deforestation models to project future deforestation to 2053. Up to 10 231 km2 was deforested between 2000 and 2018, and a further 49 570 km2 is expected to be lost by 2053, with annual deforestation rates ranging between 0.09% and 2.17% in different sub-regions (average: 1.23%). Key biodiversity areas (priority sites for endemic and threatened biodiversity) are particularly vulnerable to deforestation if they are small, coastal and unprotected. Sub-regional variation in deforestation patterns and drivers must be acknowledged if conservation interventions are to be targeted and effective. We provide a valuable baseline from which to monitor Wallacea's new development course, as Indonesia undergoes profound policy changes that will provide both challenges and opportunities for environmental governance and conservatio
