Cimory Riverside is a natural scenery restaurant in Puncak Bogor. It has tourism development based of nature tracking priority that will soon be in open to public. The purpose of this research was to identify the tree  health in the natural tourism development area. The method used is pursosive sampling based on vulnerability level tree with a Forest Health Monitory (FHM) and Picus Sonic Tormograph. The result showed 31 trees are identified proneness of different species. The average healthy tree condition grows normally, but is growing sloping and high canopy load. Two species of Falcataria moluccana (Miq.) Barneby & J.W.Grimes (Sengon laut) recomended for cut down. 13 trees are recommended for pruning to make the canopy lighter and minimize the risk fallen tree. The rest 16 trees otherwise normal but need to check routinely. While the results of checking used a Picus Sonic Tormograph, Eucalyptus alba Reinw. ex Blume tree experienced holes at the height of 0-120 cm vulnarable area to visitors. The final result of identification healthy tree is handling in accordance with recommendations and checking periodically to minimize the risk fallen tree

Ethnoecology of The Slamet Mountain Slope Community (SMSC) in Paguyangan District, Brebes Regency, Central Java

The local communities have local knowledge in utilizing and managing landscape units. The threat of modernization has led to the degradation of local knowledge, including the Javanese community on Mt. Slamet. This study aimed to analyze the plant diversity characteristics of landscape units and determine the important value of landscape units and plant species used by the community. This research was conducted in the Ragatunjung, Cipetung, and Pandansari village, Paguyangan District, Brebes Regency, Central Java. Semi-structured interviews collected Ethnoecological data with eight key informants and 83 respondents selected by purposive sampling and snowball sampling. Data on the level of landscape utilization were analyzed using the Local User's Value Index (LUVI). The community recognizes nine types of landscape units, such as perawisan (yard), wanah (production forest), Majegan (gardens), Sabin (rice fields), Kubang buyut (protected forest plan), tea plantations, Telaga Ranjeng Nature Reserve, Tanah Bengkok and tuk (water sources). Wanah was the most important landscape unit in the community in Ragatunjung (31.27), Cipetung (53.55), and Pandansari (28.17). Oryza sativa had the highest importance value in Sabin (22) and wanah (12) of Ragatunjung. In contrast, Syzygium aromaticum had the highest in Majegan (6.68). Brassica oleracea has the highest importance value in the two landscape units of Cipetung, namely, Majegan (4.20) and settlements (3.5), while in the wanah is Zea mays (11.38). Solanum tuberosum had the highest value in each landscape unit in Pandansari, both in wanah (10.33), Majegan (6.80), and Protection Forest Plan (PFP) (4.13). Categorizing landscapes and their utilization by maintaining certain landscapes, such as the Telaga Ranjeng Nature Reserve and Kubang buyut, directly impact the sustainability and integrity of ecosystems and natural resources in and around the area

KEBUN RAYA MEGAWATI SOEKARNOPUTRI: TRANSFORMASI LAHAN PASCA TAMBANG MENJADI KAWASAN KONSERVASI TUMBUHAN

New approach to modern botanic garden’s concept is to combine the role of ex situ and in situ conservations, integration of scientific aspect, socio-economic and cultural of the community. This concept is expected to be adopted by Megawati Soekarnoputri Botanic Gardens which has been built at the former gold mining area operated by PT Newmont Minahasa Raya (PT. NMR). Land status of the botanic gardens is classified as a special purpose forest area according to Forestry Ministerial Decree (SK.175/Menhut-II/2014) occupied a total area of 221 ha. The garden is focused on conservation of lowland plants in the Wallacea region. Development of the gardens to date including plant collection enrichment, and infrastructure construction, and Southeast Minahasa Government’s commitment are presented in this paper

Decay Tree Detection in Bogor Botanic Gardens Collection Using Sonic Tomograph Technology

Bogor Botanic Gardens is an ex-situ plant conservation area in Indonesia. Since BBG is 103 years old, many collections are 100 years old or older. These antique collections may sustain damage, such as broken or collapsing, endangering visitors and employees. As a result, monitoring tree health at BBG is a critical task. According to the tree health monitoring data, 73 of 244 trees were further checked using the PiCUS Sonic Tomograph. Trees from the Fabaceae (31%) and Myrtaceae (10%) families were the most frequently checked. Walnuts trees from the Burseraceae family had the most specimens (47,94%). The PST effectively provides an immediate picture of the stem condition by calculating solid and decaying wood percentage values

Pengurangan Resiko Pohon Tumbang Melalui Analisis Kesehatan Pohon Di Lingkungan Pkt Kebun Raya-LIPI

Plant collection management is main activity in Center for Plant Conservation Botanic Gardens ? Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) as mandated by Presidentials regulation No. 93 Th 2011. As ex-situ Conservation institution, Botanic Garden has play its role as research, education and recreation center which in turn provide environmental services for the surrounding area. Being one of the oldest botanical garden in the world, aged trees collections has face several problems. Aged trees are easily damage, broken, felled or dead risking safety of visitors, employees, vehicles, buildings and other plant collections as well. This conditions require authorities to take preventive action to prevent negative impact. One of the effort is trees health monitoring program. It is expected that a series of recommendation could be released for long term management of plants collection in PKT Kebun Raya-LIPI

Endemic plants of Java Island, Indonesia: a dataset

Java is the most populous island in the world. This high population and the extensive economic activities have significantly reduced the forest areas of the Island and have greatly increased the pressure on its plant diversity. Compared to those with a wide distribution, endemic plants with a narrow geographic range are more vulnerable to anthropogenic threats and environmental changes. As species lists are essential for knowledge of species diversity in areas with strong anthropogenic pressure, here we present a dataset of endemic plants of Java Island. The initial species list was manually extracted from the Plant of the World Online (POWO). Each species on the list was then confirmed for its endemism by checking its current distribution using peer-reviewed publications, online plant databases and herbarium specimen images stored on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The dataset contains 652 species in 279 genera and 85 families. The family with the highest number of endemic species is Orchidaceae (142 species), followed by Rubiaceae (57 species), Acanthaceae (40 species), Apocynaceae (35 species) and Lauraceae (29 species). The growth form of the species is mostly trees (22.6%), followed by herbs (19.2%), epiphytes (16%), shrubs (12.4%), vines (11%) and geophytes (9.4%). Most of the species (89.7%) have not yet been assessed for their conservation status according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. There are only 55 species (8.3%) that have been conserved within ex situ collections. Furthermore, most of the species (79.8%) are not listed on the CITES appendices and there are only four species (0.6%) protected by national law.Our contribution provides the first online list of accepted scientific names of Javan endemic plants species, together with all their synonyms. New to the dataset are: i) provision of local names of the species (if available), ii) the classification of species under eleven growth forms (tree, shrub, herb, annual, graminoid, geophyte, fern, vines, hydrophyte, parasite and epiphyte), iii) assignation of the extinction risk of species according to the IUCN Red List, iv) ex situ collection status of species and information on the protection status of the species according to (v) CITES and (vi) the national law of Indonesia
