KATA PENGANTAR

Kerjasama internasional merupakan adalah mutlak diperlukan dalam pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi tidak hanya bagi negara berkembang namun juga sangat diperlukan bagi negara maju. PP No. 41 Tahun 2006 sebagai alamat UU No. 18 Tahun 2002 dan penyempurnaan Kepres No. 100 Tahun 1993 yang mulai diimplemetasi oleh Kemeneterian Riset dan Teknologi sejak 17 Desember 2007. Undang-undang tersebut memegang peran strategis dalam pembangunan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi dan memberikan arah pengaturan guna mewujudkan tujuan memperkuat daya dukung ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi untuk mempercepat pencapaian tujuan negara, serta meningkan daya saing dan kemandirian dalam memperjuangkan kepentingan negara dalam hubungan internasional. Di samping itu, Undang-Undang tersebut merupakan dasar hukum bagi pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan di bidang pembangunan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi.

Peraturan Pemerintah No. 41 Tahun 2006 tetang Perizinan Melakukan Kegiatan Penelitian dan Pengembangan bagi Perguruan Tinggi Asing, Lembaga Litbang Asing , Badan Usaha Asing dan Orang Asing tersebut berdasarkan pemikiran bahwa iptek dalam kerangka sistem nasional penelitian, pengembangan dan penerapan iptek tidak dapat terlepas dari kerjasama internasional. Hal ini kita sadari mengingat sebagian besar kemajuan iptek berkembang pesat di negara-negara maju yang menguasai sumber daya iptek, memiliki kemampuan finansial dan lembaga litbang yang sudah sangat mapan serta tradisi akademik yang sangat kuat. Sejalan dengan hal tersebut, maka kerjasama internasional di bidang iptek dilaksanakan untuk mempercepat alih teknologi dari negara-negara maju dan meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat ilmiah internasional.

Salah satu bentuk kerjasama internasional di bidang iptek tersebut adalah kegiatan penelitian dan pengembangan yang dilakukan oleh Perguruan Tinggi asing, Lembaga Litbang asing, Badan Usaha asing dan orang asing yang dilakukan di Indonesia.

Dalam tahun 2011 terdapat 453 peneliti asing yang telah diberikan Surat Izin Penelitian (SIP) melakukan kegiatan penelitian di berbagai daerah di Indonesia. Jumlah tersebut terdiri dari 395 izin penelitian baru dan 58 izin perpanjangan. Mayoritas peneliti tersebut berkewarganegaraan atau berasal dari Negara-negara maju yang menguasai iptek dan mengalokasikan dana riset yang besar dalam APBN mereka. Dalam tahun 2011 tersebut secara berturut-turut Jepang, Amerika Serikat, Inggris, Jerman dan Australia, menempati peringkat lima besar kemudian diikuti Belanda, RRC, Perancis, Denmark dan Kanada menempati peringkat 10 besar.

Buku “Direktori Peneliti Asing di Indonesia 2011” ini memuat Abstract riset biodata para peneliti dari berbagai perguruan tinggi, lembaga litbang, badan usaha asing dan mahasiswa asing serta kelompok profesi intelektual publik lainnya, seperti dosen, budayawan dan jurnalis asing. Buku ini telah terbit sejak tahun 2011, dan akan terbit secara berkala setiap tahunnya. Kami berharap buku ini dapat menjadi salah satu sumber informasi ilmiah dan rujukan bagi para peneliti dan akademisi serta semua pemangku kepentingan (stake holders) untuk memperluas jaringan kerjasama riset internasional dalam rangka penguatan kelembagaan (capacity building) dan mempercepat transfer iptek di berbagai bidang keilmuan.

Kami menyadari bahwa buku ini masih jauh dari sempurna, seperti kata pepatah “tiada gading yang tak retak” maka kami sangat mengharapkan saran dan masukan dari semua pihak untuk penyemprnaan buku tersebut pada penerbitan yang akan datang.

Kami juga tidak lupa mengucapkan terima kasih yang sebesar-besarnya kepada semua pihak, khususnya rekan-rekan Sekretariat Tim Koordinasi Pemberian izin Penelitian Asing (TKPIPA), Biro

1.3 Negara Asal Peneliti Asing

Mayoritas peneliti tersebut berkewarganegaraan atau berasal dari Negara-negara maju yang menguasai

iptek dan mengalokasikan dana riset yang besar dalam APBN mereka.

Dalam tahun 2010 secara berturut-turut AS, Jepang, Perancis, Inggris, dan Jerman menempati peringkat

lima besar kemudian diikuti Belanda, Australia, RRC, Italia dan Kanada menempati peringkat 10 besar.

Jepang yang selama sepuluh tahun terakhir selalu menempati posisi teratas, pada tahun 2010 tergeser

oleh Amerika Serikat sedangkan Belanda, Australia, Jerman dan Inggris selalu menempati posisi

peringkat lima besar selama sepuluh tahun terakhir. RRC merupakan Negara pendatang baru Asia yang

mampu menembus posisi sepuluh besar.

Namun dalam tahun 2011, posisi teratas kembali diduduki Jepang (27%), baru kemudian AS (25%). Posisi

Perincis merosot menjadi peringkat ke 7, digantikan oleh Inggris yang naik menjadi peringkat ke tiga.

Selanjutnya berturut-turut Jerman, Belanda, Australia dan RRC meningkat sedikit. Italia terlempar dari

10 besar, digantikan oleh Denmark. Sedangkan peringkat 10 tetap Kanada.

BAB 2: ABSTRAK DAN DESKRIPSI PROYEK

PENELITIAN ASING

Berikut ditunjukkan Abstrak dan deskripsi proyek penelitian asing, yang diurutkan sesuai abjad bidang

penelitian, dari Antropologi hingga Zoologi. Secara total terdapat 21 bidang disiplin ilmu.

A. ANTROPOLOGI BUDAYA

A.1 Determinants of Perception and Action among the Karo Batak:

Formidability and Cognition about Material Goods

Tujuan Penelitian : Untuk menguji apakah kejarangan pernikahan matrilateral antar sepupu yang dinyatakan ideal di Batak Karo, dapat dijelaskan oleh hipotesis Westermark, dimana hubungan yang terlalau dekat akan mengembangkan rasa kebencian untuk menikah antar mereka

Bidang Penelitian : Antropologi Budaya

Lama Penelitian : 3 (tiga) bulan mulai 6 Juli 2011

Daerah Penelitian : Sumut (Tanah Karo)

Mitra Kerja : Dr. Fikarwin Zuska – Departemen Antropologi FISIP USU

Abstract

The proposed research addresses two problems. The first problem is assessing whether the rarity of matrilateral cross-cousin marriages, which are the stated ideal among the Karo Batak, is explainable by the Westermarck hypothesis. This hypothesis states that individuals raised in close propinquity will develop an aversion to marriage with each other. To test this idea, data on marriage, fertility, cosocialization, and genealogical relatedness will be collected from parish records. The second problem is assessing whether the idea of relative perceived formidability (i.e., one’s own physical strength relative to an opponent’s) influences their actions. The core hypothesis is that relative perceived formidability-one’s own physical strength, exposure to tools or weapons, physical burdens, and size/solidarity of coalitions relative to one’s oppoonent’s-will influence one’s perceptions of the physical size of opponents and one’s willingness to compete aggressively in economic interactions. To test this idea, data on anthropometcis, perceptions of opponents’ size, and economic interactions will be collected among Karo Batak people to be analyzed in conjunction with data collected at other fieldsites (e.g., in Ireland, South Afrca, and USA). The proposed research will be conducted in the town of Kabanjahe and two Karo Batak villages.

A.2 Culture, Art, and Tourism in North Bali, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari bagaimana kesenian dan budaya tradisional tercipta, tersirkulasi, dievaluasi, dan diapresiasi dalam masa turisme modern


Lama Penelitian : 12 (duabelas) bulan mulai 18 Juli 2011

Daerah Penelitian : Bali (Buleleng)

Mitra Kerja : Prof. Dr. I Made Sutama, M.Pd - Fakultas Bahasa dan Seni, Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha

Abstract

This anthropological research project attempts to understand how notions of culture and art have been constructed and articulated in the context of tourism development. Theoretically and conceptually, this research relies on the discussion of culture concepts, artistic productions, heritage revitalization, and cultural tourism. Geographically, this research deals with the case of Buleleng, North Bali, Indonesia. The primary focus of this research is to observe how traditional art and culture is produced, circulated, evaluated, and appreciated, in the age of modern tourism. However, rather than focusing on the perspective of the “guest” or “tourist,” this research aims to look at the indigenous interpretations of the production, thus avoiding the pitfall of imposing “Western-centered” framework in evaluating art and culture. To approach the indigenous interpretations, the research adopts qualitative, anthropological methods. The main methods will be direct observation, participant observation, informal interview, and the content analysis. The location for this research is the city of Singaraja in Buleleng, North Bali. Particularly, several artists’ associations and a public museum (Buleleng Museum) will be the main site of the research. To respectfully and faithfully document indigenous interpretations and to follow up the seasonal cycle of artistic and cultural activities, this research requires a long-term duration, probably 12 months long.

Abstract

The research is an ethnographic study of ideas and practices of generosity among Muslims in Java, Indonesia. The research focuses on the renewed emphasis that zakat and other voluntary donations have assumed among middle class Muslims in contemporary Java, and the novel institutional forms that have arisen for their collection, management, and distribution in lieu with a series of economic and legal reforms. The project will provide a qualitative, ethnographic account of the plurality of the ways that Islamic forms of charity are conceptualised and enacted in Java, investigate the wider historical and social contexts that account for the post-1998 effloresce of Islamic charitable institutions, and chart the complex relations between donors, collectors, and recipients the circulation of alms creates.

I seek permission to conduct ethnographic, qualitative fieldwork in Java for 12 months in the cities of Surabaya, Jogjakarta, and Jakarta. As the principal investigator, I am solely responsible for the actual planning and the implementation of the research project, conducting the main component of fieldwork and the interviews with selected informants in Java, as well as, working on the analysis and the

Abstract

The question of how to balance a modern, educated life-style with the demands of Islamic piety and femininity is the subject of great discussion in Indonesia. One arena where this topic is particularly salient is in Islamic schooling for girls. Through surveys, participant observation, interviews, and discourse analysis of popular Muslim media and educational materials, this research will explore gender socialization and educational achievement in two Islamic boarding schools for girls in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The broader question this research asks is twofold: (1) how do young Muslim girls learn and engage with what it means to be a proper, pious, and educated woman; and (2) how do differences in understandings of proper Muslim femininity reflect broader variations in Indonesian Muslim associations and religious-educational traditions. The project aims to examine the ways in which the proper forms of Muslim femininity and educational achievement are conveyed and appropriated in school classrooms, hallways and school grounds, as well as the girls' interactions and behaviors outside of school. Although the socialization of appropriate ideals and practices of Muslim femininity lies at the heart of Islamic education for girls, both formal and informal, education is today being adjusted and transformed as a result of far-reaching changes in modern Indonesian public culture. generally, and Islamic public life more specifically. This project hypothesizes that variation seen in religious and gender ideals in Muslim schools correlates with the efforts of different sub-communities to strike new balance between Islamic ideals of gender and the aspirations of a growing number of Muslim girls and parents for personal success. professional achievement, and. broadly speaking, a modern middle-class way of life.

A.7. Gunung Kawi: Pilgrimage and Blessing Rituals in East Java

Tujuan Penelitian : Meneliti motivasi dan ekspektasi peziarah yang datang ke Gunung Kawi serta mendokumentasikan ritual yang mereka lakukan untuk mendapatkan berkah


Lama Penelitian : 8 (delapan) bulan mulai 26 Oktober 2011

Daerah Penelitian : Jatim (Malang)

Abstract

Java is well known for its variegated ziarah tradition, the pilgrimage to the graves of Muslims saints and other prominent figures from the past. In my research project I shall focus on the pilgrimage site of Gunung Kawi which is situated close to the village of Wonosari, about 30 km west of the city of Malang. Gunung Kawi and its graves draw thousands of visitors every year, among them Javanese as well as many Indonesians of Chinese origin. The site is especially popular among business men and merchants since it is believed to bring blessings to those who pray for economic success. Although Gunung Kawi is popular throughout Indonesia, it is one of the least researched pilgrimage sites in the country. The planned research project thus aims at filling this gap by undertaking ethnographic fieldwork over a period of seven months. The project first seeks to explore the various motivations and expectations of the individual visitors who come from different religious and social backgrounds; moreover the project aims at documenting the ritual procedures that are undertaken by the pilgrims in order to achieve blessing. Apart from studying the pilgrims' motivations and perspectives, I am also interested in the way in which Gunung Kawi is embedded in the local ceremonial landscape. It is known that in the context of local celebrations of the Javanese New Year (satu surd), during Maulid and other ceremonial occasions, Gunung Kawi and its graves play a prominent role. The project will thus explore how Gunung Kawi relates to the overall religious and social framework of Wonosari village and its wider networks.

The data will be collected in the framework of an anthropological fieldwork which will be undertaken over a period of seven months (October 2011 - May 2012). During fieldwork the standard social-anthropological research procedures will be applied by combining participant observation with conducting interviews with the visitors of Gunung Kawi and with local people from Wonosari who are in charge for the maintenance of the pilgrimage site and its ceremonial life.

Abstract

Dr. Lene Pedersen of Central Washington University will undertake a cultural anthropological research program to investigate the intersecting structures and meaning of ties between princes and subjects in a polity in Bali, Indonesia. Taking a multi-sited and multi-method approach within a spatially explicit environment, the study has three components. First Pedersen, working with a geographer and a Balinese research team, will map and analyze land-based, ritual, and kinship ties and obligations between princes and subjects; second, she will examine the direct involvement of princes in community life, such as ritual, irrigation and political decisions; and third, she will examine the perceptions of individual subjects on the relative roles of the princedom and the nation-state, and how ideas about the traditional polity shape contemporary subjects and princes. From considering the present context of decentralization in Indonesia and the rise of Bali-Hindu ethno-nationalism, both of which have given new impetus to traditional institutions, Pedersen will also, on the small stage of this principality, examine the consequences of post-colonial land reforms and local political restructuring. Mapping and analysis within a Geographical Information System will allow her to visualize the web of ties to the palace and analyze their relationships over time, while interviews and surveys contribute ethnographic and generalizable data on associated ideas and practices.

Dr. Pedersen's research is important because it takes a new approach to address long-standing questions still in dispute about the Balinese polity, including an attempt to test Geertz's key argument that the "kinship state" was not linked to landowning, while also addressing contemporary theoretical and practical concerns surrounding governance. The proposed project will contribute a more nuanced understanding of Balinese derived social, political, etc. structures that remain of local interest and concern. In addition to contributing to the regional ethnographic literature, the study offers an example of a complex social-political-symbolic governance system that also is a feasible case to study state transformation and institutional complexity. It will contribute to the understanding of hybrid state-indigenous systems of governance and to methodology integrating ethnographic and survey approaches within a spatial framework.


32 | P a g e

Dr. Pedersen will collaborate with participants and members of the faculties of Agriculture and of Letters at Udayana University to promote International collaboration and contribute to enhancing infrastructure for research and education in Bali. The proposed research will provide training and research experience to Indonesian assistants helping collect public records, interview, transcribe interviews, work with GIS and administer questionnaires; and to community participants in the mapping process.

Abstract

Concept and objectives of research: Heritage tourism is a type of tourism, which is becoming popular increasingly since 1980s in tandem with the growth of popularity of UNESCO's world heritage site. Recently, the idea of "cultural heritage" is shifting with the UNESCO's reconsideration of the concept and expansion of the idea. Although there are a number of studies on tourism in Bali, my study is not only about tourism but also a dynamics of cultural politics between grassroots and above administrations and how they are related in Bali.

Research outcome and objective: By examining micro level impact of policy and tourism and other related factors, this research will clarify diversity of the concept of cultural heritage and how they are constructed today in the grassroots levels.

Location and methodology: The applicant will conduct anthropological fieldwork based on participant observation where the sites on the UNESCO's tentative list in Bali. Therefore, specific research location will be Tabanan Kabupaten, Gaynnar Kabupaten, Kabupaten Badung and Kota Denpasar of Bali Province.

A.10 Food Habits and Preference: on Sunda and Betawi People’s Taste in Jakarta

Tujuan Penelitian : Menganalisis budaya kuliner orang Sunda dan Betawi yang bertempat tinggal di kawasan urban

Lama Penelitian : 6 (enam) bulan mulai 9 September2011

Mitra Kerja : Dra. Nyayu Fatimah, DEA, Puslit Kemasyarakatan dan Kebudayaan (PMB) - LIPI

Abstract

Objective of this research is to analyze food culture of Sunda and Betawi people residing in urban area. It focuses especially on what kind foods and how much of them are thought to be “enough” to keep their life confortable and satisfactory.

It is universal that food is one of the major factors that compose our life. However, what kind of food is felt to be essential in daily life varies according to cultural backgrounds. It depends on people’s recognition and classification of foods in their cultures, and it also varies according to their social statuses. This kind of people’s taste is culturally determined.

In order to maintain food security, both quantity and quality are needed. Main target of this research is not on quantity but on quality; especially on kinds of food and ways of cooking that match people’s taste or preference. People’s taste must be considered even in time of emergency, since what food gives to people is not only physical energy and nutrition but also mental energy that supports their spirits to survive. In this sense, studying people’s taste in ordinary daily life would be useful in order to make preparation for possible disasters.

Methodology of this research is also qualitative rather than quantitative, since mass quantitative study may overlook significant points for indigenous people because its research design may be affected by researcher’s own culture bias. This research will use cultural anthropological approach: participant observations and interviews in addition to food consumption survey for one week at each household.

Abstract

This project explores the relations between climatic knowledge, subsistence, and health among smallscale fisheries in Ende , Island of Flores, Indonesia. Its main goal is to determine the extent to which people’s beliefs about the changes in future climatic conditions explain work effort and nutritional decisions including production activities and resource use. Despite numerous research on the projections of climate change in agricultural production in Southeast Asia, there is still uncertainty about the impacts of marine species modifications in diets of coastal populations. In addition, local institutions do not have enough information about people’s beliefs and preferences regarding resource use and future climatic trends that ultimately affect a population’s health and environmental status. Lack of knowledge can have acute repercussions in the design of health and development policies that are looking into the mitigation of future exposed coastal areas. By investigating nutritional choices in relation to economic and ecological changes and local beliefs about resource use and climate, this project proposes to conduct: 1) anthropometric and nutritional assessments, 2) ecological and climatologic measurements, and 3) livelihood surveys and cultural interviews, among Endenes small-scale fishermen in Flores, Indonesia. Results will be analyzed through multivariate and bivariate statistics, and content analysis. Research will take place in the course of 1 year, comprising a one year-long field season (June 2011-june 2012). Research will be funded through the National Science Foundation.

Intellectual Merit

In anthropology, this study will enhance knowledge on adaptation and subsistence decision-making by exploring the diets of fishing societies. In health studies and nutrition, this research will shed light on the changes, strategies, and physical correlates of fish diets in relation to environmental stressors.

Broader impacts

Results obtained through this research will be critical in the redesigning of nutritional policies in Ende and in other villages of the region. They will be useful for drafting adaptation strategies in relation to food security and resource use for coastal economies throughout Southeast Asia.

A.13 Rituals in Manggarai: An Anthropological Study on Death and Birth Rituals

Abstract

Rituals have long been the focus of attention by anthropologists. Focusing on ritual can permit to explore

and understand a culture in greater depth. Specifically the life cycle rituals performed at birth and death

have been essential to cultural identity.

The great majority of cultures not only talk about a destiny beyond that of a single lifetime but also provide

funerary ritual to escort the deceased from the land of the living to whatever lies ahead. Rites are

performed to locate the dead (irmly in the past and in memory of the living. And also do death rites

transform the status of the living into one appropriate for the death. At death, identity and social status

undergo major changes.

The beginning and the end of life are thematically linked, for the bodies are in a period and state of being

between social statuses. Beginnings are constituted through processes of social recognition and arc

contingent on the attribution of personhood and sociality. Endings depend on the culturally

acknowledged transformation of a living person to something else - a corpse, spirit, ancestor, etc.

Since 1998 the modern Indonesian state has been in a rapid transformation process. This will have an

impact on the social structure in Manggarai and ritual practice as well. Several scholars describe the fact

that religious symbols and rituals change form and meaning across time and space in terms of tensions

between tradition and modernity. Largely for this reason it makes Manggarai a superb place these days for

anthropologists to investigate the relationships between ritual, social structure and social processes.

What interests me is the interrelationship between social change and ritual practice. Concretely I will

record the actual situation of death and birth rituals in the kabupaten West Manggarai and explore the

changes of ritual practice over the last decades. My results will be compared directly with the doctoral

theses "When Rocks Were Young and Earth Was Soft: Ritual and Mythology in Northeastern Manggarai"

by Dr. Maribeth Erb (1987) and "Places, paths and persons; the landscape of kinship and history in

southern Manggarai, Flores. Indonesia" by Dr. Catherine Lucy Allcrton (2001).

Mitra Kerja : Iwan Tjitratjaja, Ph.D - FISIP UI

Abstract

Objective of my research is to specifically and demonstratively describe and analyze the multiethnic situation around the Batak people in Jakarta, Indonesia. To be specific, this study has three objectives as follows; 1) to understand the expanded social relationship of the Batak in different economical and social positions and different living quarters; 2) To elucidate the selection of marriage partners of the Batak living in Jabotabek, and compare the situation between the first generation and the second generation; 3) to explicit the personal and organized relationship between the people in Jakarta and hometowns in North Sumatera; 4) Related to 3), continuously focus on the clan associations in Jakarta, and research its management system.

Preceding researches on the Batak have always focused on the Batak traditional customs, and it seemed to be described that the Batak society is constructed only by the traditional patrilineal kinship and affinal relationship with matrilateral cross-cousin. Also, studies of the Batak urban migration have been focused on the maintenance of their ethnicity related to their traditional culture and customs. Therefore, preceding researches have been neglected the expanded relationship around the Batak, which is constructed at school, offices, churches, and with neighbourhoods. To do so, I would like to show there is a need to reconsider the argument whether ethnic identity is taking a important role in Jakarta.

My research is going to be held in Jakarta, and several months in Medan and Tarutung in North Sumatra. The planned duration is from March 2011 until February 2013.


38 | P a g e

I am planning to do anthropological field research based on participant observation and unorganized interview among the Batak people living in Jakarta with the purpose of accumulating the factual detailed data of the daily interaction of the Batak and other ethnic groups.

I also need to conduct library and archival research in the Perpustakaan Nasional Republik Indonesia, the Pusat Dokumentasi dan Informasi Ilmiah, LIPI, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) and the archival section of the government office of administrative district (kotamadya, kecamatan and kelurahan) Universitas HKBP Nommensen, and Universitas Sumut.

Abstract

In developing regions, the number of urban residents living in slum conditions is now estimated at 828 million, compared to 657 million in 1990 and 767 million in 2000 (United Nations. 2011). and there are many children who work in the street selling newspaper, shoe-shining and so on. Worldwide there are approximately 30-170 million children who either work full-time or pan-time or who live entirely on city streets (Gross et al, 1996). There is no widely accepted definition of the term "street children". Morch (1984) and UNICEF identified two types of children who work in the street; 1) ''children on the street" who work in the street selling newspapers, shoe-shining, etc. but who usually return to their families al the end of the day. and 2) "children of the street" who spend nearly all of their time in the street, both living and working there. Most street children live in abominable conditions. Because of this situation. many researchers have studied about street children in sociology and community hygiene, but few studies have researched on street children from and economics point of view. Recently '•Network" has received a lot ofattention in economics and other disciplines. Social networks have been shown to be an important resources for food, economic arid housing condition (Dershem and Gzirishvili, 199S), hybrid seed adoption (Matuschke, and Qaim. 2009). declining delinquent behavior (Sharon and Roche. 2010), learning HIV

(Godlonton and Thornton, 2011), job search (Wahba and Zenou, 2005). credit access (Okten and Osili. 2001). But few studies shed light on street children's network such as kinship, friends and acquaintances. This research's objective is to show how social networks affect street children's basic needs (.such as food, economic.health so on) in Jakarta.

Abstract

This research has two main objectives. First of all, maritime Malays living in Bangka will be ethnographically investigated in terms of general social antln-opological themes such as settlement organization, family composition, or adat world. Secondly, their adaptation strategies toward the forest, coast or tidal zone, and the sea will be examined at length. There orang Sekak culture must have greatly influenced contemporary maritime way of life. Not only the material aspect of fishing techniques as cultural traits, but also the superstructural aspect of fishery rights or prohibitions would be thoroughly considered. The basic research method of anthropological field work is a participant observation. I would like to pick one hamlet up as a model village on the western coast of Bangka; the hamlet should be one of the most typical fishing villages facing mangrove forest and mudflat. Secondly 1 also would like to pick one hamlet up as a model village on the eastern coast; the hamlet should be one typical village facing sand beach and coral garden. While comparing two opposite hamlets, the similarity and difference of their cultural traits will be materialized. These days, however, everywhere in southeast Asia we could observe the confrontation between large-scaled commercial fishery and small-scaled traditional fishermen, who are occasionally rather forerunners of the community-based environment management to utilize marine resources or total surroundings. Their knowledge and skill would render valuable suggestions to the real national development in terms of ocean governance.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the processes and practices of mobility and migration amongst the Chinese Indonesian population in Singkawang, West Kalimantan. This research seeks to explain why Chinese Indonesians in Singkawang are moving and migrating, within Indonesian and overseas, at a rate higher than other ethnic groups in the area. The objective of this research is to understand how peoples’ mobility-related decision are influenced by their culturally-informed expectations and patterns, pattern that may or may not involve symbolic economies above and beyond those in Indonesia.

Social science research about migration seeks to understand, document and explain the economic, political, and social impacts of international migration. Migration and mobility is a major factor in processes of culture change, economic development, and social change. As people move around the globe the field of possibilities that influences culture and subjectivity also expands. Because mobility brings people into contact with one another, the material, social and symbolic economies of their cultural systems also interact and often create new forms of discourse, new practices, new ways of being and behaving. This research uses a case study of Chinese Indonesian mobility practices to explore some of these processes.

This research focuses on the processes and practices of mobility and out migration from Singkawang, West Kalimantan, to Jakarta, Malaysia, Hongkong, Taiwan, Australia, etc. The object under investigation is the shared cultural field within which individuals make decisions about where to live, work, study and why they choose these places. The researcher is conducting semi-structured interviews with a variety of individuals in Singkawang in order to understand the cultural logic behind migration and mobility related decision. This research will document how people actualize their mobility-related decisions from the perspective of what is happening socially and economically in Singkawang, West Kalimantan.

Abstract

The Lambusango forest research project is a multidisciplinary project examining aspects of forest conservation, ecology and management in and around the Lambusango forest management area (LFMA), pulau Buton, Sultra. This area includes the Lambusango and Kekenauwe forest reserves, surrounding forests and villages.

Operation Wallacea teams have been carrying out surveys in the Lambusango area for almost ten years. In that time a wealth of information has been collected on the biological importance of the area, its biodiversity, ecology and the potential threats to the forest. Work in 2010 has sought to continue and develop these studies with ongoing wide scale and long-term monitoring of significant endemic large vertebrate species such as hornbills, macaques and anoa, bird communities, herpetofauna, bats and small mammals. These datasets are becoming notable for their duration with some approaching a decade in length. Some of these data demonstrate worrying declines; Lambusango is being affected by global trends, with oil and asphalt extraction developing as world crude oil prices increase. These data sets are also allowing us to understand how species adapt to changing habitat structure and variations in microhabitat and climate. Single species ecological studies of Malay civets and Buton macaques have been facilitated by the good populations of these species in accessible areas of the forest. These are some of the only studies being carried out on these species and represent important additions to our understanding of the ecology of this poorly studied region. New studies on figs and fig wasps have revealed fascinating insights into these tiny enclosed egological communities that will help us understand how other communities work and evolve.

remains; and (3) to conduct an intensive and extensive ethno-archaeological investigation of modern fishing technology and strategies across a range of island ecosystems in Wallacea region.

To accomplish these research goals, I plan to conduct archaeological and ethno-archaeological fieldworks under the auspices of Dr. Tony Djubiantono, Director of Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Arkeologi Nasional, in the Northern Sulawesi and Maluku regions. In terms of excavation and recovering methods, I will basically follow the methods such as grid style excavation and dry screening method which are mainly employed by the Indonesian counterpart. With these methods, I also plan to employ more intensive recovering methods such as dry and water screening by different size of fine mesh (2, 5, 10 mm mesh) to recover more natural remains such as tiny fish bones and plant materials.

To examine the human interactions with the environment and to consider the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and modern resource use in present Northern Sulawesi and Maluku people, the intensive ethno-archaeological studies on the present subsistent activities by the islanders are also required. It is very important to examine the past and present human interactions with these island ecosystems in order to consider the ability of the island population to sustain natural and food resource use over time. For this purpose, I will conduct interviews and observational surveys on their fishing and farming practices in some villages around the coast or archaeological sites as for this research. During intensive researches, I will attempt to collect ethnological quantitative data of fish catch and farming production at a few villages in the field.

The fieldworks will be carried out for twelve (12) months, from September 2011 to August 2012, in the Provinces of Sulawesi Utara and Maluku Utara.

Abstract

Cities today support half of the earth's population. In this context, this project establishes cities as the most important spaces where human beings are destined to live in the future and, as its main objective, seeks to find methods for creating harmonious relationships between cities and the earth's environment. The project therefore will investigate megacities in order to:

1) shed light on the mechanism of megaurbanization and historical restrictive conditions,

2) establish methods for recognizing megacities in an integrated manner according to various disciplines, history and culture, etc, 3) indicate integrated solutions for mitigating negative impacts, 4) sindicate models of how cities that successfully integrate environmental, economic and social affluence should be, and

5) approach megacity issues from urban micro to macro and from regions by various stakeholders to the international arena.

Methodology:

The project has formed a fieldwork team consisting of nine researchers who respectively do research in Jabodetabek area. Shin Muramatsu. the project leader will supervise the team and manage collaboration with the counterparts, the University of Indonesia (Ul) and Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI). In addition, Muramatsu will integrate our analysis both in cognitive science and in design science as a whole, beside his own research on urban spaces with greenery in Jabodetabek.

Akinnbu Murakami deals with the "natural environment" with analyses of land cover classification, surface temperature simulations and observation of residents' behavior. Kengo Hayashi involved in the "built environment*' will do research by categorization of residential districts according to population, land use pattern and arrangement of dwellings, estimation of total building material stocks and calculation of the building vulnerability. Yuko Muramatsu and Hironori Kato are in charge of the "social environment", investigating the change of the marketing systems and its impact on the food lifestyles, lifestyles of local people with the questionnaire survey, statistical analyses of the result and modeling approaches. Furthermore, Rvuto Shimada. Hiroshi Izumikawa and Hiroko Matsuda are going to conduct the archival researches on the environmental history, the economic history and the history of the water management. Finally, Akiko Hori will organize the joint workshops on 3 dimensional urban conditions in order to recommend strategic management by different scenarios to forecast long term future and acupuncture intervention to limited spots of a megacity, and will contribute to proposal of a future megacity design.

Abstract

In connection with our International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG) project entitled “Biodiversity Surveys in Indonesia and Discovery of Health and Energy Solutions,” we propose a series of field trips to


48 | P a g e

southeastern Sulawesi to conduct biodiversity surveys and to collect specimens of plants, insects, microbes (yeasts, filamentous fungi, and bacteria) and vertebrates. The project is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA); please see attached award letters. The first trip was completed in July 15 - August 15, 2009, two subsequent trips were completed in 2010 (June-July, Nov.-Dec.), additional trips are planned for 2011 (see timetable below). The project is a collaboration between researchers from several institutions in the US and several institutions in Indonesia and some trips, including the first one, will involve participation of scientists from both countries while others will involve only Indonesian scientists. Specimens collected on these expeditions will be deposited in museum collections in Indonesia and the US and will be screened for potential applications as therapeutic agents for specific human health issues and for developing bioenergy resources. The taxonomic groups to be surveyed include vascular plants, invertebrate animals including insects and other arthropods, vertebrate animals including birds and small mammals, and selected microbes, including filamentous fungi, yeasts, and bacteria. Screening for health and energy solutions will focus primarily on microbes, but plants for which promising ethnobotanical data exist will also be included in the screening for novel therapeutic agents. The health issues for which we intend to seek such agents include cancer, addictions, and immune disorders, including HIV/AIDS. The energy applications screening will focus on isolating and identifying microbes that produce either high levels of lipids or cellulase enzymes. In addition to the health and energy applications, the surveys will improve our understanding of the biodiversity of Sulawesi, an island with a complex geological and biotic history, rich species diversity in several taxonomic groups, and high species endemism, and will be used to promote conservation and bioresource planning and policy in Indonesia.

Objectives

1. To perform biodiversity surveys of selected bacteria, fungi, plants, arthropods, and vertebrates in three lowland and one upland rain forest sites on southeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia, and to enrich collections of these organisms in museums in Indonesia and the U.S. These intensive surveys will add significant detail to knowledge of the biota of this relatively little-explored region.

2. To screen biological materials (bacteria, fungi, plants, insects) isolated in the course of this study for novel products, including novel bioenergy applications. The primary focus of these studies will be bacteria, filamentous fungi, and yeasts isolated from plants, insects, and soils collected under Objective 1.

3. To screen selected biological materials — primarily fungi and plants — isolated in the course of this study for novel products, including novel therapeutics for treatment of cancer, novel therapeutics for treatment of addictions, novel therapeutics for treatment of immune system disorders, such as HIV/AIDS, and to isolate and identify therapeutically active substances and conduct preclinical studies with purified natural products. The primary focus of these studies will be filamentous fungi and yeasts isolated from plants, insects, and soils collected under Objective 1, but plants for which ethnobotanical information indicate potential promising medicinal value will also be included

4. To compare levels of biological diversity in several taxonomic groups mentioned in Objective 1 among the three lowland and one upland forest sites and use that information to develop recommendations for strategies to conserve biodiversity. Based on information gained from the inventories of plants, insects, and vertebrates, we will develop multi-metric diversity models that provide an ecological basis for watershed reserve design, which will, in turn, be used to provide guidelines for development of new nature reserves in this region.

5. To develop and encourage local conservation planning, education, and outreach efforts that are ecologically, economically, and socio-politically sound and effective. Working with Indonesian scientists from several institutions and national and local government officials, we will develop a series of workshops, town hall–style meetings and discussions, and multimedia instructional materials to communicate information gained in Objectives 1-4 and to promote dialogue about how to most effectively implement the conservation strategies from Objective 4.

6. To develop effective international agreements related to sharing and development of biogenetic resources. Working collaboratively with Indonesian and U.S. scientists, representatives from the technology transfer offices of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and the U.S. institutions


49 | P a g e

(UC Davis, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco) involved in this project, and representatives of the private companies with which we are forming partnerships, we will develop model materials transfer agreements and contractual agreements that ensure that: (a) all organisms collected during the course of this study will remain the property of the Indonesian people; (b) all products resulting from research conducted on those organisms will be freely shared with scientists at LIPI and the other Indonesian institutions involved (Ministry of Forestry, Bandung Institute of Technology); and (c) rigorous ethical guidelines, such as those prescribed by the Convention on Biological Diversity (UNEP-CBD, 1994), are adhered to strictly. Additional international bodies, such as the Swiss Academy of Sciences and associated United Nations agencies, will provide guidance throughout the process

Study Sites

The island of Sulawesi, the focal region for this project, is the largest island within the biodiversity hotspot known as Wallacea, which includes Indonesia’s central islands. According to the classification of Wikramanayake et al. (2002), Sulawesi encompasses two ecoregions: Sulawesi Lowland Tropical Forest and Sulawesi Montane Tropical Forest, both of which will be surveyed in this project. Both of these ecoregions are rated by Wikramanayake et al. (2002) as “globally outstanding” in their biological distinctiveness, harboring high degrees of species endemism, and of “critical” conservation status. We have chosen to place greatest emphasis on lowland forests because their easier accessibility renders them somewhat more urgently threatened by logging activities (Wikramanayake et al. 2002).

Sulawesi is rich in biodiversity and high in species endemism in several taxonomic groups (Whitten et al. 2002), but only a small portion of the diversity has been well documented and studied. Several recent efforts by scientists from LIPI in Indonesia and from research institutions in The Netherlands, the UK, Japan, and Denmark have helped begin to fill the enormous gaps in our knowledge of Sulawesi’s flora and fauna, but much work remains to be done. It is therefore clear that any new inventories and collections made from Sulawesi, such as those proposed here, will contribute significantly to our understanding of the biodiversity of the island, as well as to the biodiversity of Indonesia in general. Such information is essential for developing effective policies to conserve species, ecosystems, and valuable genetic resources, which are threatened by habitat destruction due to logging and mining activities accompanying rapid population growth. In spite of those threats, Cannon et al. (2005, 2007) suggest that Sulawesi’s vegetation still remains in relatively good condition, with large areas of old-growth forest still intact. They emphasize the urgency of developing policies to protect those areas and the importance of educational programs to ensure that those policies are enforced. Microbial communities, in particular, have received little attention, and are a primary focus of this proposal.

The specific localities to be surveyed will be selected based on both scientific and logistical considerations. First, we have decided to focus our efforts in southeastern Sulawesi (the province of Sultra), one of the least-studied areas on the island faunally and floristically, and one that encompasses a variety of substrates over a range of elevations and includes significant areas of intact forest with potential for designation as protected areas. Second, because our primary interest is the biodiversity of relatively poorly studied lowland (below 1000 m altitude) tropical forests of Sulawesi, which occupy only a small portion of the island’s total area and which are considered highly threatened due to logging and lack of enforcement of conservation laws in the limited protected areas, three such sites will be surveyed. One upland (above 1000m altitude) forest site will also be included in order to allow us to make comparisons of levels of overall diversity in various taxonomic groups, diversity of organisms yielding natural products with potential applications in human health and bioenergy, and conservation status of forests at different elevations. Finally, from a logistical standpoint, in order to complete the planned number of field expeditions, we need to select sites that can all be accessed in the course of a single four- to six-week expedition.

A comprehensive survey of the flora of Sulawesi was completed by The Nature Conservancy (Bogor, Java) and Texas Tech University and is available online (Cannon et al 2005). Based on their analysis of the flora of Sulawesi they could divide the soils into four types: a general soil type they called intermediate, and three “extreme” soil types that supported distinctive floras: limestone, ultramafic, and alluvial. On top of this, they had four elevational classes: lowland (0–850m), upland (850–1500m), montane (1500–


50 | P a g e

2200m), and tropalpine (above 2200m). Then there were some miscellaneous classes, such as karst, wetlands, and mangroves. Using satellite imaging and other remote sensing technologies, as well as site visits, they produced maps of the different forest types as well as indications of the relative condition of the forest: old growth, good forest (some evidence of shifting cultivation but no roads), fair forest (evidence of roads, selective logging or intensive shifting agriculture visible, but with at least half the forest cover intact), poor forest (less than half forest cover), and open areas/converted forests (little or no forest cover left).

Using these maps, and taking into account the amount of collecting effort expended in various parts of Sulawesi, the number of different forest types available, forest condition, and certainly logistics, we identified the region around the town of Kolaka as our target study area. Kolaka is located on the western side of the southeastern peninsula. There is regular ferry service to Kolaka from the southern province and Ujung Padang, the main transport hub into Sulawesi. This will simplify the movement of large numbers of people, as well as dangerous goods, such as alcohol and cyanide, needed for collecting.

A coastal road extends northwest from Kolaka that passes through a series of villages and near the towns of Wawo, connects with a road going over a range of mountains (Peg. Mekongga). Contiguous forest on intermediate soils is available along this road from about 150 to 1,650 meters. Research sites along the road can be established in the lowland, upland, and montane zones as defined by Cannon et al. (2005). The highest elevations in the area are 2,790 meters and support a small island of Tropalpine forest. A second area of interest is along a road that runs southeast from Kolaka toward the villages of Bauia and Benua. This road runs through a large patch of good lowland intermediate forest and passes near a patch of old growth forest on mafic soils. This patch of forest is just outside the boundaries of Rawa–Aopa National Park. A research camp in this mafic forest would expand the variety of habitats surveyed and provide information about whether this area should be included in Rawa–Aopa. This national park also contains one of the best areas of wetlands in Sulawesi.

In summary, the Kolaka vicinity has substantial patches of all the major plant communities found in Sulawesi except mangroves and the communities on alluvial soils. Good quality forest on alluvial soils is exceedingly rare in Sulawesi. The forests have road access, but they do not seem to have suffered from widespread clearing spreading out from these roads. According to Cannon et al. (2005), “very little is known about the vegetation communities of this bioregion…The scattered pieces of karst and mafic soils probably provide a stepping stone across the bioregion into the larger areas to the north and may harbor endemic species. The vast area of good quality forest along the northern margin is primarily lowland and upland intermediate forests, making this a highly valuable [region] for conservation purposes.”

Project Structure and Methods

In order to address the objectives described above, we have assembled a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional, international team, organized into four Associate Programs (APs). Based on recommendations from our funding sources we have undergone a restructuring of the project in order to become more efficient and effective in achieving our project goals. In addition, a Central Operations Office, headed by overall project PI Kyria Boundy-Mills (UC Davis), is responsible for facilitating communication, data assembly and storage, planning, and reporting for all six APs.

Associate Program 1: Biodiversity Surveys. Leader: Andy Engilis, UC Davis; Rosichon Ubaidillah, LIPI. This program will be charged with taking the lead on conducting a survey of plants, insects and vertebrates at low, mid and high altitude areas. A team of scientists based in Indonesia will undertake one visit in Year 1, two visits per year in Year 2 and 3 and one visit in Year 4 to the survey site. Scientists from UC Davis will also join these efforts. These trips will be conducted in different months each year to ensure that all periods of annual seasonal climatic variation ate included. An additional visit in Year 4 will be made to work on processing and distribution of specimens collected in previous expeditions. All specimens will be deposited at LIPI, with duplicates to be sent to UC Davis for deposition in the herbarium of the UC Davis Center for Plant Diversity (DAV), the UC Davis Bohart Museum of Entomology and the Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology (MWFB). Local guides participating in the collection activities will be interviewed to gather information about human uses of any of the plants collected, especially medicinal uses. Based on these ethnobotanical data, some plants will be included in


51 | P a g e

the screening activities described in AP 3, the primary emphasis of which will be microbes. In particular, plants with known medicinal uses, especially species that have not been previously subjected to laboratory analyses, will be included in the human health screening. The combined biodiversity data will be used to develop multi-metric diversity models that provide an ecological basis for conservation planning and watershed reserve design. The results will be used to support resource management objectives intended to minimize forest fragmentation and to develop landscape conservation recommendations for forest preservation and protected forest reserve design.

Associate Program 2: Microbial surveys and discovery of energy solutions. Leader: Kyria Boundy-Mills, Irnayuli Sitepu UC Davis; Atit Kanti, LIPI. Activities in this program will be tightly correlated with those of AP1. Indonesian and U.S. microbiologists and mycologists will join the teams described above to participate in field expeditions. Soil, root, and leaf litter samples will be collected along with the macro-organisms listed above. Bacteria, yeasts, and filamentous fungi will be cultured from these samples, and from the plants, insects, and vertebrates collected under AP1. A major focus will be microbes associated with wood-feeding insects. Initial culturing will be conducted at LIPI and at the Ministry of Forestry’s Forest Microbiology Laboratory in Indonesia. Duplicate cultures will be shipped to the U.S. to be deposited in collections and for further study under APs 2 and 3. Microbes isolated in AP2, as well as other isolates from the Phaff Yeast Culture Collection, will be screened for their potential utility in biofuels applications. The two specific targets are novel cellulase homologs for improved degradation of lignocellulosic biomass and oleaginous microbes to be used for production of biodiesel or other long-chain liquid fuels. Strains will be screened for cellulase, xylanase, and glucanase activity using AZCL-conjugated substrates, for presence of cellulase genes using PCR, and for elevated lipid content using fluorescent staining. Metagenome sequences of microbes in the gut of wood-feeding insects, if performed through the Joint Genome Institute Community Sequencing Project, will also be searched for novel cellulases. In addition, dried preparations of many of the same microorganisms will be prepared for use in AP3, which concerns analysis for novel therapeutics.

Associate Program 3: Discovery of human health solutions. Leader: L. F. Bjeldanes, UC Berkeley; Heddy Julistiono, LIPI Using high-throughput cell-based assays for potential pharmaceuticals with activities against cancer, immune deficiency, and neurological disorders, natural products will be purified and identified from filamentous fungi, yeast, and selected medicinal plants collected on Sulawesi under APs 1 and 2. Cellular and molecular studies of modes of action of active products will be conducted using a set of tumor cell lines that reflect the most prevalent cancers in the developed world, including cancers of the lung, colon, breast, and prostate gland. In addition, in vivo studies of anticancer potential of these purified products will be conducted in rodent xenograft models. Following initial high-throughput assay in cultured dendritic cells, additional assays of immune activation will be conducted by looking for IL-1 mRNA expression, CC chemokine receptor-7 expression, and T-cell–stimulatory capacity, as well as in vivo testing of immune enhancement activities of these purified products in rodents. Following an initial screen of extracts using a high-throughput G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) calcium fluorescence assay, follow-up studies in rodents will be conducted, targeting GPCRs that are primarily affected by anxiety, stress, pain, and alcoholism.

Associate Program 4: Local conservation and education outreach. Leader: Eko Waluyo LIPI; Hendra Gunawan FORDA; Endah Sulistiowati ITB. The task of this program is to publish and disseminate key project results to nature conservation managers, local governments, universities and NGOs. Its other aim is to develop training workshops for local stakeholders in order to educate them about biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Using biodiversity data from AP1, management objectives will be developed in order to create management actions that will allow the sustainable use of natural resources in the watershed as well as preserve biodiversity and the ecological processes that determine areas of high biodiversity. AP4 will also assist UC Davis and LIPI officials in developing best practices for incorporating tenets of the Convention on Biological Diversity (UNEP-CBD, 1994) and related international agreements into inter-agency Memoranda of Understanding, Material Transfer Agreements, Mutually Agreed Terms, and Data and Benefit Sharing Agreements.

Abstract

Situated at the geographic heart of Borneo, the Murung River region is increasingly threatened by anthropogenic disturbance such as logging, mining and land conversion. The impacts of this on the local

biodiversity, amongst the richest in Southeast Asia, are unknown. Resident populations of the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) and naturally occurring hybrids of Mueller's and Southern Bornean gibbons (Hylobates albibarbis x H. muelleri) have never been surveyed. Working closely with the local communities and Indonesian conservationists, the members of the Busang River Initiative for Conservation and Communities (BRINCC) expedition will seek to provide a baseline for future monitoring of the area's ecosystem using indicator species. As part of this initiative, we aim to increase the scientific knowledge of the area and provide up-to-date, accurate population density estimates for the two Asian apes present along an altitudinal gradient along the Busang River. This information is vitally important to assess the conservation needs of local ape populations and the nature and level of threats they are exposed to.

Abstract


56 | P a g e

The Indonesian island of Sulawesi is a globally important hotspot of avian endemism, yet Sulawesi’s birds have received little formal study. Indeed, several avian taxa still unknown to science have been reported in the Lore Lindu and Lake Matano areas in central Sulawesi (Sulteng and Sulsel). These taxa, for all of which specimens are unavailable, include a new flycatcher presumably of the genus Muscicapa, a Ninox owl that may either be a new race of N. ios or an undescribed species, a new thrush tentatively reffered to the Turdus poliocephalus complex, a new white-eye probably of the Zosterops atrifrons complex, and one or more new taxa of the cardueline finch Serinus estherae complex. Further ornithological exploration of montane central Sulawesi will almost certainly result in discoveries and descriptions of new species. We hypothesize that the montane avifauna of central Sulawesi has a distinctive composition from that of Sulawesi’s other mountain ranges. We will test this hypothesis with field work involving intensive field surveys, extensive vouchered audio recording, and morphological analysis via collected specimens caught by mist netting. Specimen collections will be conducted under the supervision of the Research Centre for Biology (RCB) and will be deposited as scientific collections at the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense. Our integrative approach, that unites morphology and bioacoustics, will provide critical new data on the sysmatics and ecology of these poorly known species. Description of new taxa and new fundamental information on Sulawesi’s montane birds will help direct conservation effort, which is fast becoming critical in this region of rapid habitat loss.

E.4 Biodiversity Surveys in the Sebangau Forest, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan survey keanekaragaman dan hutan secara umum pada berbagai spesies serta memonitor perubahan yang terjadi baik dari aktivitas ilegal maupun manajemen konservasi yang sukses

Daerah Penelitian : Laboratorium Alam Hutan Gambut (LAHG), Sabangau - Kalteng dan area sekitar hutan rawa gambut yang tidak dilindungi


Abstract

The Sabangau River Catchment occupies an area of ca. 5,780km2 in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, and represents the largest remaining lowland forest block in Borneo. This is an extremely important area of tropical peat-swamp forest, due to its role as home to populations of many endangered species, including the largest population of orang-utans in the world and the largest known contiguous population of gibbons in Indonesia and the huge amounts of carbon locked away in its peat. It also provides numerous ecosystem services to the local communities, including regulating water supply, protecting against fire and providing sustainable non-timber forest products to local communities. The Natural Laboratory of Peat Swamp Forest (NLPSF), in the north of the catchment is managed by CIMTROP (the Centre for the International Cooperation in Management of Tropical Peatlands), an Indonesian research and conservation institution based at the University of Palangkaraya (UNPAR). CIMTROP-UNPAR’s research programme is wide-ranging, including many different aspects of peatland ecology and biodiversity, and includes crucial monitoring aspects to assess changes in forest structure, hydrology, microclimate and animal density and diversity. As part of this programme, I will carry out studies designed to further our knowledge of peat-swamp forest biodiversity and ecology, and to monitor changes to the habitat and its biodiversity arising from illegal activities or successful conservation management. Ecological monitoring programmes of this nature are crucial for documenting the responses of different animal groups to natural- and human-induced changes in habitat condition.

Abstract

The Lambusango forest research project is a multidisciplinary project examining aspects of forest conservation, ecology and management in and around the Lambusango forest management area (LFMA), pulau Buton, Sultra. This area includes the Lambusango and Kekenauwe forest reserves, surrounding forests and villages.

Operation Wallacea teams have been carrying out surveys in the Lambusango area for almost ten years. In that time a wealth of information has been collected on the biological importance of the area, its


59 | P a g e

biodiversity, ecology and the potential threats to the forest. Work in 2010 has sought to continue and develop these studies with ongoing wide scale and long-term monitoring of significant endemic large vertebrate species such as hornbills, macaques and anoa, bird communities, herpetofauna, bats and small mammals. These datasets are becoming notable for their duration with some approaching a decade in length. Some of these data demonstrate worrying declines; Lambusango is being affected by global trends, with oil and asphalt extraction developing as world crude oil prices increase. These data sets are also allowing us to understand how species adapt to changing habitat structure and variations in microhabitat and climate. Single species ecological studies of Malay civets and Buton macaques have been facilitated by the good populations of these species in accessible areas of the forest. These are some of the only studies being carried out on these species and represent important additions to our understanding of the ecology of this poorly studied region. New studies on figs and fig wasps have revealed fascinating insights into these tiny enclosed egological communities that will help us understand how other communities work and evolve. Objectives: - To carry out surveys of birds at fixed points throughout LFMA - To estimate population density of birds in each of the node camp sites

E.7 Biodiversity Studies to Support Conservation in the Rainforest of Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan penelitian keanekaragaman dan ekologi di hutan rawa gambut serta memonitor perubahan habitat dan keanekaragamannya sebagai akibat dari gangguan manusia dan pelaksanaan manajemen konservasi



Daerah Penelitian : Kalteng (Lab Alam Gambut, Sebangau)

Mitra Kerja : Dr. Ir. Suwido H. Limin, MS – CIMTROP Universitas Palangkaraya

Abstract

The lowland rainforests of Central Kalimantan are among the most biodiverse areas on Earth, yet are threatened by a variety of human activities. These include fire, drainage of peat swamps, conversion to agriculture, logging, and harvesting of certain species for food and pet trade. Conservation efforts are therefore needed in order to manage these forests to conserve their biodiversity for the future. Biodiversity studies are crucial to: (1) assess the value of different forests for biodiversity conservation, to enable more efficient targeting of limited resources; and (2) to monitor the effectiveness of conservation actions. I will conduct biodiversity studies in the Laboratoreum Alam Hutan Gambut - Universitas Palangka Raya (LAHG-UNPAR), Sabangau; the unprotected Bawan and Kalampangan Forests; and hopefully other non-protected areas in Central Kalimantan to achieve these aims. Sabangau is a particularly important area of tropical peat-swamp forest, due to its role as home to populations of many endangered species, including the largest population of orang-utans in the world and the largest known contiguous population of gibbons in Indonesia and the huge amounts of carbon locked away in its peat. The LAHG is managed by CIMTROP (the Centre for the International Cooperation in Management of Tropical Peatlands), an Indonesian research and conservation institution based at the University of Palangka Raya (UNPAR). I will carry out studies designed to further our knowledge of peat-swamp forest

biodiversity and ecology, and to monitor changes to the habitat and its biodiversity arising from human disturbances and conservation management actions. Research in Bawan Forest and Kalampangan will focus on documenting the importance of the area for biodiversity conservation, through a number of sampling methods. Ecological monitoring programmes of this nature are crucial for documenting the responses of different animal groups to natural- and human-induced changes in habitat condition.

E.8 Conservation management of the Siamese crocodile (Crocodylus siamensis) population in the Mesangat - Kenohan Suwi wetlands, its last natural habitat in Indonesia by collecting data on the ecology and natural history

Tujuan Penelitian : Meneliti status populasi Buaya Siam di Danau Mesangat



Daerah Penelitian : Kaltim (Danau Mesangat)

Mitra Kerja : Deni Wahyudi, S.Hut – Yayasan Ulin

Abstract

Crocodylus siamensis (Schneider, 1801) is one of the most endangered crocodile species worldwide (Ross, 1998). It is listed under CITES Appendix I and is also identified as “Critically Endangered” by the IUCN / World Conservation Union (Hilton - Taylor, 2000). Furthermore, in Indonesia it is protected under National Law: UU No. 5 / 1990 and PP No. 7 & 8 / 1999 (Department Kehutanan, 2003), which makes any commercial activities with this species illegal. It is historically known from Thailand, Vietnam, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia, but the population has undergone a severe decline, decimated or exterminated over at least 80% of its original home range (Ross, 1998). There is a widespread, highly fragmented population left in the Cardamom mountains in Cambodia (Simpson & Han, 2004) and only a small remaining group is known from Lao PDR (Thorbjarnarson, 2004). The species status in Indonesia was unknown and thought to be very low or extinct (Simpson & Han, 2004) until a few years ago it was shown, that Crocodylus siamensis still exists in its natural habitat (Kurniati et al, 2005). Today the only currently known remaining natural habitat of the Siamese Crocodile is Lake Mesangat (Muara Ancalong District, East Kalimantan), and perhaps other small swampy habitats throughout the lower Mahakam River region, but the current status of the species is still incompletely documented. There is some recent evidence that at Lake Mesangat, reproduction of the Siamese crocodile still occurs (Kurniati et al, 2005), as several juveniles have been sighted and captured by fishermen and Yayasan Ulin conservation staff in the meantime. A comparative genetic study says that a captive population in East Kalimantan, which originates from a Bornean wild source population, definitely differs


62 | P a g e

from mainland SE Asian populations (Gratten, 2003). Studies on the morphology of Siamese crocodiles from Borneo in comparison to mainland populations could support this assumption and consequently are an interesting aspect for conservation. Additionally the ecology of Crocodylus siamensis in the wild is poorly understood (Simpson & Han, 2004) and there is only sparse information available on its diet, feeding and predatory habit (Bezuijen, 2010).

Breeding and nesting is also very low investigated. In captivity females lay 20 to 50 eggs per clutch at the beginning of the rain season around April and May in Thailand (Youngprapakorn et al, 1971). Although no significant number of samples is available, in the wild clutches seem to be smaller, ranging between 16 and 25 eggs (Simpson & Han, 2004). Siamese crocodiles are furthermore known to undergo diurnal and seasonal movements (Simpson et al, 2006).

In general most information about the species has been obtained from captive individuals, mostly in commercial farms or in zoos. To ensure effective conservation of this critically endangered species, further knowledge on the natural history, ecology and breeding habit of Crocodylus siamensis is crucial. Therefore basic information on its ecological adaptations, such as feeding and breeding habit, is essential. In addition for the purpose of conservation management of the species in the Mesangat wetland, long - term observation is required and local people must be directly involved. Regional “head starting” projects may prove to be a promising solution for the survival of C. siamensis. This would bring benefit to local people in terms of employment and support the development of ecotourism in the Conservation Reserve. The additional occurrence of Tomistoma schlegelii makes it even more attractive for tourists and by the way raises interesting questions concerning niche segregation.

Mesangat Lake is positioned at 0°30'07'' N and 116°41'54'' E at an elevation of approximately 10 m asl. It is not a typical lake, but the deeper portion of an extensive wetland/ freshwater swamp. Its surface is almost completely covered with floating water plants. Although the regional rainforest suffered in 1980’s and 90’s from big forest fires, the core area of the Mesangat wetlands is conserved especially well compared to others (Kurniati et al, 2005).

Several invasive species, such as the applesnail Pomacea sp. and the snake headed fish Channa micropeltes have been introduced to Lake Mesangat in the past but the impact on Crocodylus siamensis has not yet been proved (Stuebing & Sommerlad, 2010). Furthermore over the last fifteen years there has been a considerably increasing number of fishermen (Kurniati et al, 2005). Electro fishing is likely to have a negative impact on the crocodile population at Lake Mesangat but evidence has to be provided by further investigation.

The Lake is the only proven natural habitat of Crocodylus siamensis in Indonesia, although studies may reveal that the species is actually more widespread. In addition to Siamese crocodile, Tomistoma schlegelii, the endangered Sunda Gharial, also occurs in the area. Resident people report that nests of the two species can be found in and around the Mesangat Lake (Kurniati et al, 2005).

E.9 The Effects of Habitat Quality on Avian Community Structure on Flores, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari struktur komunitas unggas di Pulau Flores


Lama Penelitian : 2 (dua) bulan mulai 22 Agustus 2011

Daerah Penelitian : NTT (Flores)

Mitra Kerja : Agus Budi Utomo – Burung Indonesia

Abstract

The aim of the proposed project is to study avian community structure on the island of Flores, in Indonesia's

Lesser Sundas. Approximately two months will be spent surveying birds in and around the Mbeliling Forest

Reserve, on the western part of the island, in September and October 2011. Fieldwork will be undertaken at a

number of different forest sites of varying quality, ranging from fully-intact primary forest to heavily degraded

habitat. The data obtained will yield information about species composition and relative abundance, and

provide a basis from which to make comparisons between the different sites. In this way, it will be possible to

characterize the changes in community structure that result from habitat degradation on Flores.

This fieldwork is designed to contribute to a project run jointly by DOF (Birdlife Denmark) and Perhimpunan Pelestari Buning dan Habitatnya (Burung Indonesia, a Birdlife partner), aimed at promoting sustainable development in Mbeliling Forest.

Abstract

The proposed research seeks to continue Dr. Andrew Marshall’s long-term research regarding how spatial and temporal variation in plant productivity affects populations of Bornean rainfores t primates . The research will be conducted at Gunung Palung National Park, West Kalimantan, Indonesia (TNGP) for a period of one year: August 10, 2011 - August 10, 2012.

The objective of the proposed research is continue collection of data that will be used to test eight hypotheses designed to improve our understanding of how landscape- level variation in habitat quality and seasonality of fruit production impact the population ecology of white-bearded gibbons and red leaf monkeys. We hope to test the following hypotheses with respect to our target species:

• H1: Population success is higher in areas where preferred food items are more abundant

• H2: Population success is higher in areas where fallback food items are more abundant

• H3: Population success is higher in habitats of high floristic diversity

• H4: Population success is lower in montane forest due to increased thermoregulatory costs associated with living at high altitudes

• H5A: Travel costs : Population success is lower where the distance between food trees utilized during periods of food shortage is greater

• H5B: Travel costs: Population success is lower where canopy structure is less continuous

• H6: Population success in lower in habitats with high densities of frugivorous vertebrate competitors

• H7: Montane habitats are demographic sinks for primate populations

• H8: Solidify sex ratio and group demographics

We will do this by collecting the following data:

Monitoring groups of white-bearded gibbons and red leaf monkeys. We will focus on recording unique distinguishing marks for all individuals in the populations, utilizing binoculars and photographs. This will enable us to identify migrants that move between groups, ascertain dispersal distances for individuals, and create a baseline upon which to build future studies of demography.

Assessing habitat-specific locomotor costs for primates in each forest type. We will gather simple data on the locomotion of gibbons and leaf monkeys in each habitat through focal follows. For each individual followed we will record the actual distance traveled between successive feeding trees (measured using a biodegradeable hip-chain string directly below the route traveled) and the straight line distance between successive fruit trees. Habitat-specific locomotor costs will be calculated as the mean deflection from straight-line travel for each species in each habitat.

Monitoring temperature and rainfall in each forest type. Self explanatory Conducting regular census walks for other frugivorous vertebrates. We will do this by creating two independent vertebrate census routes in each of the seven forest types along established trails. Each route will be walked at least four times each month between the hours of 5:30 and 11 am, and all observations of vertebrate frugivores will be recorded on standardized check sheets.


65 | P a g e

Monitoring of phenology of trees and lianas in each forest type. Trained observers will scan the canopy of each tree and liana within each plot and note whether the tree is reproductively inactive or contains flower buds, flowers, immature, mature, or ripe fruits.

Standardizing botanical nomenclature of trees and lianas in each forest type. It is now necessary to determine accurate botanical names of the stems in these plots. W will therefore spend considerable time checking and naming species in the field, and making herbarium quality collections to submit to the herbarium in Bogor for identification.

Abstract

Large-scale disasters destroy social and environmental structures and a resource management system maintained under a stable condition. Due to periodic eruptions, the communities living around Mount Merapi have developed resilience and adaptation for unpredictable events, the eruption. In this study, I focus on the dynamics of resource-related relations between people and environments under the livelihood reconstruction process in villages suffered from Mount Merapi eruption. For the objective, I examine restoration of avifauna by comparing bird species turnover within and between functional groups that is classified based on environmental responses or on trophic criteria, and then I clarify its relation with resource managements by local communities.

Abstract

Indonesia is attractive to the students of evolution for a number of reasons. It occupies a central part

of the Asian tropics, which is known to harbor the world's richest and most diverse fauna and flora. It has

diverse climatic and vegetational environments. Furthermore, Indonesia consists of many islands that

differ in their size and distance from other islands. These islands arc distributed over two major

biogeographic elements. With the high diversity of habitat conditions and biogeographic peculiarity,

Indonesia provides a fascinating arena for various sorts of evolutionary studies, in particular those of

speciation and related issues.

This project aims to elucidate mechanisms generating diversity of terrestrial arthropods in Asian

tropics, with particular emphasis on insects and some non-insect arthropods such as miles. Our methods

include (1) field collection of specimens, (2) gathering in-depth biological information of target taxa, and

(3) rearing of insects in the laboratory.

Modes of speciation in tropical organisms are still largely unknown, and our results will greatly

contribute to enrich knowledge of this important field of evolutionary biology.

This is the fourth phase of this project conducted from 2010 through 2013.

Methodology and concepts

1) Intensive fauna survey of the above organisms in various parts of Indonesia covering the areas

known as Wallacea (the interface between the Oriental and Australian Zoogeographical Regions).

2) Gathering in-depth biological information (life history, voltinism, food relations, association with


70 | P a g e

other organisms, etc.) of the target taxa.

3) Gathering specimens for the taxonomic analyses and various sorts of evolutionary analyses.

4) Multivariate analyses of geographic variation patterns in morphological and karyological traits in

some widespread and variable species or species groups.

5) Crossing experiments of supposedly closely related taxa to estimate the degree of reproductive

isolation.

6) Food choice tests and rearing experiments to know the genetic background of host specificity.

Field cage experiments to monitor dispersal patterns, mating behavior and oviposition behavior of the pest, Henosepilachia vigintioctopuiictata, and putative host races of Henospilachna diekei and the other phytophagous insects

Abstract

Trade now appears to be the greatest threat to most Nycticebus spp., irrespective of their placement on Appendix 1 by CITES in 2007. In Indonesia, high demand for lorises as pets, combined with loris' inability to escape hunters due to slow evasion strategies, has lead to their constant supply in trade with a subsequent influx of confiscated individuals in rescue centres. At many sites, confiscated lorises are hard-released with no monitoring. To ensure welfare of released individuals and wild populations, improved strategies are needed for reintroduction/ restocking projects. Monitoring of nine newly-seized N. javanicus, for the purposes of potential release was conducted over three months in 2009. Release of the lorises deemed to be in good health and possess adequate survival skills is proposed to take place on Gunung Salak in 2010. Release sites will be assessed for sufficient food sources and must be far enough away from any human activities to minimise the chance of recapture. Post-release monitoring using radio collars will take place over the subsequent months following the release to ensure the welfare of the released individuals. Furthermore, the monitoring will enable the collection of baseline data on ecology, range use and sociality of this highly cryptic species. Successes and failures of the project will be analysed in a report for dissemination to other animal welfare agencies, government officials and conservationists.

Abstract

The project will make substantial progress towards the conservation of the Sunda clouded leopard and other threatened Bornean felids through the creation of a multy-disciplinary and multi-site conservation programme, merging environmental education, local capacity building and pioneering research. The project will increase awareness of clouded leopards and other wild cats in Kalimantan, build human capacity for mammal field research in Indonesia, and gather novel data that will enable effective conservation measures to be taken to protect these species. The project will have two focal areas, enabling a comparison of the structure and functioning of, and threats to, the Bornean felid guild across the predominant biomes in Kalimantan the peat swamp forests of the Sabangau National Park, in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Specific goals will be to (1) study the status, behaviour, ecology and conservation genetics of the five species of Bornean wild cat, with a focus on the clouded leopard, (2) investigate the effects of habitat alteration on Bornean with cats, (3) raise capacity for felid research in Indonesia through the continued training of a local ecologists, (4) increase awareness of the Bornean wild cats and their conservation needs, using the clouded leopard as a flagship species, and (5) investigate threats to the Bornean wild cats from hunting and trade in Kalimantan. We also will seek to develop our project findings within biodiversity swap/ carbon credit systems, such as REDD, to which we aim to make the Sunda clouded leopard an emblem.

Abstract

The Indo-West Pacific (IWP) lias the highest marine biodiversity in the world. Although terrestrial

biologists rely heavily on allopatric models to explain speciation and the creation of biodiversity, the

appropriateness of allopatric divergence is questionable in marine ecosystems where pelagic larval

dispersal is assumed to facilitate gene flow and limit genetic differentiation among geographically isolated

populations. Our previous work in Indonesia has identified sharp regional genetic breaks in stomatopod,

clam, and fish populations throughout the IWP, suggesting that the Malucca and Florcs/Java Seas may act

as barriers to pelagic larval dispersal, suggesting that the interplay of physical oceanography and larval

dispersal ability may facilitate allopatric divergence.

This project is an extension of permit 59/FRP/SM/I/2008, which focuses on understanding how the

geologic history and physical oceanography of the Coral Triangle promotes or prevents the evolution of

novel biodiversity. In close partnership with Udayana University, Diponcgoro University, UN1PA, and

LIP1 P20, we will examine patterns of larval connectivity throughout Indonesia and compare to

predictions from models of larval dispersal.

This research project will form the foundation of a collaborative training effort for both US and Indonesian

students and researchers. It will provide significant training opportunities for Indonesians through training

efforts in Indonesian Universities. Results will be extremely valuable in helping identify regions for marine

conservation efforts associated with the Coral Triangle Initiative.

Objectives: The educational and research objectives of this project are as follows:

Research


76 | P a g e

1) We will sample a variety of marine species from around the Indonesian Archipelago amd use DNA

Sequencing and Microsatcllite analyses to determine patterns of larval dispersal and connectivity.

Patterns of connectivity will be used to highlight regions of the Indonesian seas that act as barriers

to larval dispersal as well as areas where ocean currents facilitate dispersal, information that is

essential for developing effective marine protected areas.

2) Biodiversity surveys will be conducted by collecting macrofauna from small dead coral heads, or

through the use of ARMS (automated reef monitoring structures), small plastic boxes that

simulate coral habitat, providing a home for newly recruited reef dwelling animals. These surveys

will provide new insights into the biodiversity of Indonesian reefs.

Education: We will achieve the above goals through a series of three courses 1) Molecular Ecology and

Evolution, 2) Biodiversity Surveys. These courses will be taught for.

F.2 Impact of Mangrove Planting on Brachyuran Crab Communities in south Sulawesi, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari upaya-upaya reforestasi hutan bakau di Sulsel


Lama Penelitian : 6 (enam) bulan, mulai 28 Juli 2010

Abstract

The ability of mangrove trees to tolerate salinity allows them to grow in estuaries and coastal regions in the tropics and subtropics. Mangroves (Rhizophoraceae) are utilized for timber, fuel, dyes, and medicines, and thus form an essential part of the daily lives of local people, affecting their culture and livelihoods. However, in Southeast Asia many mangrove areas have suffered deforestation and over-exploitation and been degraded by the creation of cultivation ponds for shrimp fisheries.

Since the mid-1990s, however, many Southeast Asian countries have attempted to conserve and re-forest degraded mangrove areas as a sustainable coastal resource. People now recognize that destruction and degradation of mangrove areas has a negative impact; therefore, such areas have been revaluated and are now considered important places for feeding and spawning of coastal fish and aquatic invertebrates.

To examine current mangrove re-forestation activity, I conducted preliminary field work on the island of Sulawesi, from July to August 2008, and also collected information on mangrove re-forestation activities from the forest administration of each research area. This revealed that the value of re-forested mangrove areas is currently assessed quantitatively ( e.g., in terms of forested area, etc.) and has not been assessed qualitatively ( e.g., in terms of biodiversity, etc.). In considering appropriate management of re-


78 | P a g e

forested mangrove areas as a sustainable coastal resource for the future, it is also necessary to assess the environmental impact of mangrove re-forestation activities from a qualitative perspective.

The first goal of this research is to examine procedures for assessing the influence of the local environment on mangrove ecosystems.

During the transition process after re-forestation, mangroves are affected by the physical environment, including the soil, wave movement, and light conditions (Matsuda, 1997). Changes in the physical environment will also influence the mangrove biota. Therefore, to understand the effect of mangrove plantations on biodiversity in degraded coastal areas, it is necessary to assess differences in biota between natural mangrove forests and re-forested areas of various ages by comparing fauna from natural and up to 25-year-old re-forested mangroves. To understand temporal changes in biodiversity in re-forested areas after mangrove planting, comparisons of local fauna in re-forested mangrove sites of different ages are needed.

This research will be conducted in the province of South Sulawesi, Indonesia, where the extent of mangrove vegetation decreased from 67,200 ha in 1982 to 34,300 ha in 1998. However, today, the local community and government are highly supportive of re-forestation activities. Sites in the Sinjai district on the southeast coast of South Sulawesi have been selected to examine re-forested mangrove conditions, while a site near Paropo has been chosen to examine natural mangrove conditions. Information about natural mangrove forests in the area will also be obtained from the forest administration officer.

To estimate mangrove ecosystem conditions and better understand the diversity and composition of the mangrove biota, it will be necessary to identify the species present. However, it is very difficult to identify all of the diverse biota that live among mangroves. Hence, this study will focus on crab fauna (Crustacea, Decapoda, Brachyura).

Crabs have a complex life cycle and:

1) there is high diversity of crabs in the mangrove area, and different groups prefer different habitats for feeding and reproduction;

2) crabs have high dispersal rates at the larval stage, and

3) crabs do not move far in the adult stage.

Therefore, crabs are considered an effective bio-indicator that should reflect the ecosystem conditions at each site.

Abstract

Leatherback populations in the Pasific have witnessed a dramatic decline in nesting numbers in the past few decades. While the situation is discouraging in the eastern Pasific and Malaysia, Jamursba-Medi and Wermon beaches in Papua, Indonesia, are recognized to host one of the largest remaining nesting populations of the critically endangered leatherback population in the Pasific. Efforts to protect the Pasific leatherbacks nesting population in the Jamursba-Medi and Wermon from egg collection was initited in the last decade by WWF Indonesia by involving the local communities to conduct beach patrols. Monitoring work in Papua has concentrated primarily on determining the size of the nesting population, protecting females and nests, determining migration routes, and coordinating conservation efforts with local communities. More recently, research has also focused on evaluating hatchling production and factors impacting hatchling output on the beach.

Nesting data collected by beach patrollers for the last three years have revealed that between 3,000 and 4,000 nests are laid annually and that predation by feral pigs is asignificant threat to incubating nests. Additionally, State University of Papua researchers and students with scientific and technical support from colleagues at NOAA (Southwest Fisheries Science Center) have initiated a project to assess hatching success and factors impacting hatching success. Finding management strategies to boost hatchling production is essential for the recovery of this population. Understanding basic population parameters such as nesting population size, inter-nesting and remigration intervals and beach fidelity, hatching successs, threats to incubating nests, hatclings and adult turtles and sources of mortality are essential for the management and recovery of this leatherback population.

Given the dramatic decline in leatherbacks in the Pasific, the importance of the Papuan leatherback nesting population, and the low hatchling production from Papuan beaches, continued research and monitoring the status of the nesting population.

Abstract

For the first time since this research project has been running, the proposal submitted during 2009 was accepted until 2009 season thereby encompassing three years of study. This was a necessary time scale to address all of the key issues currently being investigated. A full report will be submitted therefore during 2011 and the information present within this interim report provides some information on some of the projects that were completed. Many of the projects are ongoing and will be reported at the end of the research period.

The Wakatobi coral reefs are amongst the most diverse in the world being located at the centre of the Coral triangle. However like the majority of reef systems world-wide, the reefs have been in a long state of decline. To mitigate against this decline and in order to provide appropriate effective and efficient management solutions, a greater level of understanding is needed on yhe ecology of the reefs from a trans-disciplinary standpoint. Consequently, this report, like those before, outlines some of the key research activities that were completed in 2009. Together they increase our understanding of reef form and function and through scientific publications, also increase the global knowledge of this most important ecosystem type. Numerous publications have been published during the 2008-2009 period and these papers are shown as Annex 1. Importantly studies completed during 2009 only for the baseline of material that will be expanded upon in future years. Therefore this report should not be consicered in isolation but as an introduction to the key research areas, some of the key findings and also the future direction of the research project which in all cases means a carryon with the submitted proposal.

The inconvenience of purchasing and transporting fresh water – from the Kaledupan mainland in the case of Sampelans and from communal wells in the case of some Keledupan households – limites the accessibility of clean water. As aresult, villagers try to conserve fresh water by using contaminated water for bathing and washing dishes. On Sampela, the toilets and washing facilities empty directly into the sea channels flowing between huts, directly exposing villagers to polluted waters. In Kaledupa and Smapela, villagers frequently leave stagnant water uncovered, thus providing an effective breeding grounds for mosquito larvae that potentially propagate disease such as malaria and dengue fever. These practices lead to the occurrence of water-borne disease that can be prevented with the adoption of more effective water pasteurization techniques.

F.5 Seagrass System under Nutient Loads and Grazing

Tujuan Penelitian : Melakukan pembuktian hipotesis bahwa fungsi ekosistem padang lamun (seagrass bed) telah bergeser karena beberapa faktor seperti peningkatan nutrien dan sedimen di daerah pantai, hidrodinamika, serta kegiatan konsumsi rumput laut


Lama Penelitian : 4 (empat) bulan dimulai 21 November 2011

Abstract

Rapidly growing economic development in SE Asia has led to increased human activities. In coastal areas this often results in strongly increased nutrient and sediment loads, which threaten the economically and ecologically important seagrass beds. The seagrass beds often disappear rather suddenly, and restoration often had limited success. Generally, nonlinear feedbacks may give rise to complex dynamics, and in particular to sudden and irreversible shifts between different states of the ecosystem. Based on existing knowledge and pilot studies, our main overriding hypothesis is that nutrient load sediment load, hydrodynamics and grazing on the seagrass are the most important drivers that push the seagrass ecosystem into different functional states (figure 1). Within the present proposal, we focus on the interaction between nutrient loads, changes in water transparency and grazing by large grazers for the producti vity and health status of seagrass beds. More specifically, we propose to test the hypotheses that (1) direct toxicity of nitrogen to seagrass occurs at environmentally relevant concentrations in tropical seagrass beds; a positive feedback may arise because increased toxicity decreases growth rate, and thus increases vulnerability to nitrogen loads; (2) strong grazing may protect seagrass meadows from overgrowth by epiphytes, increasing critical loads; (3) under increased hydrodynamic (wave) pressure turtle grazing could lead to erosion and loss of seagrass meadows; (4) change of turtle grazing strategy and intensity will determine species succession, species composition, nutrient levels, flowering, seagrass biomass.

Controlled mesocosm experiments will be performed in the Netherlands with different concentrations of nitrogen under varying growth-limiting conditions (hypothesis 1). In East-Kalimantan, at low and intermediately eutrophicated sites we will manipulate grazing and nutrient supply (hypothesis 2). In stations along a natural gradient we will measure the interaction between wave stress and grazing on seagrass gap dynamics and seagrass productivity (hypothesis 3). We will compare our results from Derawan, East Kalimantan (Research Base Station) with other green turtle foraging areas in Indonesia in a comparative field study: In a gradient of grazing intensity we will test how a change of grazing strategy and intensity could lead to patterns of seagrass cover, biomass, nutrient levels, flowering, species composition and succession (hypothesis 4). At a smaller scale (Derawan) we will determine the overall condition of green turtles, test if green turtles switch between foraging areas at a small scale and we determine if grazing by green turtles at the Derawan seagrass meadows is sustainable.

Additional to the valuation of our hypotheses, our results will provide nutrient thresholds for shifts that can be used in assessment of the restoration possibilities in heavily disturbed

Abstract

Indonesian coelacanth, Latimeria menadoensis, was found in Manado, Province Sulawesi Utara in 1997. In December 1999, 2 living coelacanths were filmed in north Sulawesi about 300km far from Manado, but since then there has been no record. Our researches since 2005 were conducted in the north area of Sulawesi Island and succeed to find out the coelacanth habitat around Buol, Central Sulawesi Province. In addition, the living coelacanth was filmed in Manado Bay. However detailed information like the range of distribution, population, life history and other behavior are still unknown.

Aquamarine Fukushima has established good co-operation with LIPI and Sam Ratulangi University and conduct Indonesian coelacanth survey together. We need to make it stronger and should study ecosystem in Sulawesi water including the coelacanth habitat as a next step.

Aim of research: The aim of the study is to clear the coelacanth biology and habitat in Indonesia. The

result of video materials recorded will be utilized for the education and public awareness of the

coelacanth conservations. This survey will be conducted together with researchers of the Research Center

for Oceanography, LIPI and the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science of Sam Ratulangi University.

Through this surve}', they will get basic scientific data around the survey area. The result of this survey

will be shared between AMF, LIPI and UNSRAT. It must avail for the conservation of coelacanth and the

marine resource in this area. In addition, because the range of distribution of the coelacanth is expected to

exist wider in Indonesia, the survey area should expand gradually to other places.

Abstract

We propose to work with Kebun Raya Indonesia, Bogor (of LIPI), Herbarium Bogoriense (of LIPI), Burung Indonesia – Ternate (NGO), and Balai Taman Nasional Aketajawe-Lolobata to study the flloristic diversity of Halmahera. Our research objectives are to (1) build upon the knowledge of North Maluku biodiversity through collection of new herbarium specimens and data, (2) add to existing regional checklists of plants through a review of new and existing collections, and (3) support Indonesian research and conservation efforts integrating ecological studies and in-situ and ex-situ components. Herbarium specimen collections will only be made when appropriate Material Transfer Agreement and permits are in place with the aforementioned local counterpart(s), and in accordance with all LIPI policies. Any and all data, checklists, and publications arising from this research will be jointly developed and co-authored with Indonesian research counterparts.

With the recent establishment of Aketajawe-Lolobata National Park, there is an important opportunity to catalog the biodiversity of Halmahera. Our goal is to support and complement national and local Indonesian efforts already underway. We anticipate that the proposed project will create a timely synergy. For example, Kebun Raya Bogor is currently spearheading a national effort to implement regional botanic gardens and thus broaden the coverage of ex-situ plant collections held in national botanic gardens; our project will directly support this effort by delivering new propagules and training opportunities to newly forming Indonesian botanic gardens and their local staff. Our research project will also complement Burung Indonesia – Ternate’s program to conserve the birds of Halmahera by enhancing studies of endemic bird - plant ecological interactions, and aid in identifying plant species important to sustaining rare bird populations. We will also build the collection of Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) via new herbarium specimens deposited at BO, and will work closely with taxonomists based at BO and Kebun Raya Bogor as a priority. The information and training shared with local park staff (Balai Taman Nasional of Aketajawe – Lolobata) as a result of this project will directly aid their work.

Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden (FTBG), a non-profit public garden located in Miami, Florida, USA, was established in 1938. The garden was established in honor of Dr. David Fairchild (1869-1954), a famous plant explorer and author. Inspired by a conversation he had with Alfred Russel Wallace at an early age, Dr. Fairchild had a lifelong goal of studying the natural history of the Moluccas. Two years after the garden opened, when Dr. Fairchild was 71 years old, he finally had the opportunity to lead an expedition to the Moluccas to study the region’s plants, yet his trip was cut short due to the onset of World War II. Several years from now, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden will celebrate the 75th anniversary of this expedition, and looks forward to celebrating this milestone through renewed research with Indonesian collaborators.

Abstract

Borneo Island contains extremely peculiar and diversified organisms, especially the areas surrounding borders between Indonesia and Malaysia and Brunei still keep good conditions, i.e., so-called the Heart of Borneo. Here, we propose the cooperative research plan with Indonesian scientists to understand real situation of biodiversities in forests as basic information for conservation of biodiversity of the areas. Every member treats their special targets, such as, Annonaceae, Araceae, Burmanniaceae, Orchidaceae, Verbenaceae and etc. We will analyze molecular phylogenetic aspects based on DNA sequences of remarkably specified morphological characteristics, i.e., rheophyte, epiphyte, saprophyte, dwarf plants and etc. Integration of all of the results will offer new prospect for tropic biology. This research will be undertaken as a following cooperative research with counterparts from Research Center for Biology – LIPI carried out at the last years, 2009 and 2010, that is, co-work botanizing and analyzing genetic diversities at Betung-Kerihun National Park, Putussibau, Kapuas Hulu, Kalbar will be carried out during 10 December, 2011 and 14 January, 2012.

Abstract

The Sabangau River Catchment occupies an area of ca. 5,780 within the province of Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. This is an extremely important area of tropical peat-swamp forest which is of major importance for its peat-carbon resource and populations of endangered species including the orang-utan and agil gibbon. It is the only place in the world with tropical forest overlying peat domes of 12m or more in depth; it supports the largest population of orang-utans in the world and the largest known contiguous population of gibbons in Indonesia; has many important natural resource functions including regulating water supply, protecting against fire and providing sustainable forestry products to local communities; and is a major global store of carbon. In 1996 50,000 hectares in the north of the catchment was protected as the Natural Laboratory of Peat Swamp Forest (NLPSF). The NLPSF is managed by CIMTROP (the Centre for the International Cooperation in Management of Tropical Peatlands), an Indonesias research and conservation institution based at the University of Palangkaraya (UNPAR). CIMTROP-UNPAR’s research programme is wide-ranging, including many different aspects of peatland ecology and biodiversity, and includes crucial monitoring aspects to assess change in forest structure, hydrology, microclimate and animal density and diversity. As part of this programme scientists and students from overseas join CIMTROP’s research team to carry out studies designed to further our knowledge of this unique peat-swamp ecosystem and its flagship orangutan and gibbon populations, and to monitor changes to the habitat and its biodiversity arising from illegal activities or successful conservation management.

Abstract

The influence of resource seasonality on the behavioral ecology of nonhuman primates has been extensively studied. However, variation in resource distribution and abundance also extends beyond intra-annual seasonal fluctuations. Such supra-annual variation is characteristic of Southeast Asian forests, which exhibit irregular “masting” cycles in which highly synchronized periods of fruiting are interspersed with extended periods of little or no fruit production. The term scarcity can be used to refer to such prolonged, supra-annual periods of resource shortage.

Although scarcity has most likely played an important role in shaping the biology and behavior of many primate species, it has not been studied extensively. Resource-scarce habitats should select for behavioral flexibility, which is likely to be highly adaptive in variable conditions.

Nonhuman primates exhibit great potential for behavioral flexibility in response to different environmental conditions, but few comparative studies have been conducted with wild primates. Thus, the influence of resource scarcity on the ecology of primate species, and the capacity of nonhuman primates for behavioral flexibility, remain poorly understood. This project will examine how fruit-eating primates adjust their ecological strategies to cope with the scarcity of their preferred food. Specifically, we will examine the 1) feeding ecology and 2) anti-predator behaviors of three primate species in the Wehea Protected Forest in East Kalimantan: orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), Bornean gibbons (Hylobates muelleri), and red langurs (Presbytis rubicunda). We will spend at least five to seven days each month for six months collecting data on the dietary composition, ranging behavior, population density, and anti-predator behaviors of one group of each of these species. We will also collect samples of all plant foods consumed by these primates to characterize the nutritional content of their diets. The

forests of Borneo, particularly East Kalimantan, exhibit exceptionally low fruit availability and provide an excellent environment in which to study responses to scarcity. These same species have been studied elsewhere in Borneo, providing a basis for comparison between fruit-scarce and more fruit-abundant conditions. This project will take place from June 2011-January 2012. The significance of this proposal is that it uses a within-site and inter-specific comparative approach to examine the range of responses of different sympatric primate species to scarcity. This will allow us to better understand how behavioral flexibility is promoted or constrained, and its role in shaping responses to the environment. A broader impact of this study is that examining responses to varying habitat conditions can provide crucial insight into how nonhuman primates might adapt to anthropogenic habitat alteration, which is crucial for designing effective management plans. Finally, this study will also provide much-needed information about Asian primate communities, which have been understudied relative to primate communities elsewhere.

Understanding interactions between plant and animal species, in particular seed dispersal, may enable better understanding of ways to improve conservation techniques of fragile ecosystems. This proposed research project will look at local forest disturbance and its effects on frugivore guilds, in the Sebangau peat swamp forest area in Borneo. Data will be collected using three methods, which will be trialed during this research, and carried out over a 3 month period. These methods will include tree watching, setting traps to collect falling fruit, and transects plotted beneath fruit bearing trees. Predicted results will be expected to show how different categories of frugivores provide seed dispersal benefits for different species of fruit. This project will also contribute to the completion of an MSc in Conservation Ecology and will be available for peer review. It is also anticipated that a submission will be made to an appropriate peer reviewed journal such as Oryx and the Journal of Tropical Ecology.

H.4 The Effects of Spatial and Temporal variation in Plant Productivity on the Population Ecology of Bornean Rainforest Primates

Tujuan Penelitian : Meneliti bagaimana pengaruh spasial dan variasi produktivitas tumbuhan temporal mempengaruhi populasi hewan primata di hutan hujan Kalimantan

Bidang Penelitian : Primatologi & Ekologi


Daerah Penelitian : Kalbar (Ketapang, Kayong Utara, TN Gunung Palung)

Mitra Kerja : Dr. Ir. Yuliati Indrayani, M.Si - Fakultas Kehutanan Universitas Tanjungpura

Abstract

This research proposal seeks to continue Dr. Andrew Marshall's long-term research projects regarding how spatial and temporal variation in plant productivity affects populations of Bornean rainforest primates . The research will be conducted at Cunung Palung National Park, West Kalimantan, Indonesia (TNGP) for a period of one year: May 1,2011 - May 1,2012.

The objective of the proposed research is continue collection of data that will be used to test eight hypotheses designed to improve our understanding of how landscape- level variation in habitat quality and seasonality of fruit production impact the population ecology of white-bearded gibbons and red leaf monkeys. We hope to test the following hypotheses with respect to our target species:

• Hi: Population success is higher in areas where preferred food items are more abundant

H2: Population success is higher in areas where fallback food items are more abundant

H3: Population success is higher in habitats of high floristic diversity

H4: Population success is lower in montane forest due to increased thermoregulatory costs associated with living at high altitudes

H5A: Travel costs: Population success is lower where the distance between food trees utilized during periods of food shortage is greater

• H5B: Travel costs: Population success is lower where canopy structure is less continuous


93 | P a g e

H6: Population success in lower in habitats with high densities of frugivorous vertebrate

competitors H7: Montane habitats are demographic sinks for primate populations H8: Solidify

sex ratio and group demographics

We will do this by collecting the following data:

Monitoring groups of white-bearded gibbons and red leaf monkeys. We will focus on recording unique

distinguishing marks for all individuals in the populations, utilizing binoculars and photographs. This

will enable us to identify migrants that move between groups, ascertain dispersal distances for

individuals, and create a baseline upon which to build future studies of demography.

Assessing habitat-specific locomotor costs for primates in each forest type. We will gather simple data

on the locomotion of gibbons and leaf monkeys in each habitat through focal follows. For each '

individual followed we will record the actual distance traveled between successive feeding trees

(measured using a biodegradeable hip-chain string directly below the route traveled) and the straight

line distance between successive fruit trees. Habitat-specific locomotor costs will be calculated as the

mean deflection from straight-line travel for each species in each habitat.

Monitoring temperature and rainfall in each forest type

Conducting regular census walks for other frugivorous vertebrates. We will do this by creating two

independent vertebrate census routes in each of the seven forest types along established trails. Each

route will be walked at least four times each month between the hours of 5:30 and 11 am, and all

observations of vertebrate frugivores will be recorded on standardized check sheets.

Monitoring of phenology of trees and lianas in each forest type. Trained observers will scan the canopy of

each tree and liana within each plot and note whether the tree is reproductively inactive or contains flower

buds, flowers, immature, mature, or ripe fruits. Standardizing botanical nomenclature of trees and lianas

in each forest type.

It is now necessary to determine accurate botanical names of the stems in these plots. W will therefore spend considerable time checking and naming species in the field, and making herbarium quality collections to submit to the herbarium in Bogor for identification

Abstract

The project is located in the western half of New Guinea Island, in the Mamberamo Conservation Corridor. In the context of the Government of Indonesia’s National Climate Action Plan, the project analyses different levels of governance, with emphasis on the local level, regarding the management of ecosystem services. The research focuses on five local pilot sites in one district, Mamberamo Raya. The project looks at the integration of different perspectives in terms of land uses, between district and national levels.

The specific objective is to support the development of regional spatial land use planning based on Collaborative approaches, taking into account local development demands, forest resources dynamics, and climate change risks.

The project’s activities focus on local land management, local perceptions of changes (including economic, governance and climate changes), and how to include these in official land use planning. Monitoring represents an important tool to assess the success of decisions made on land uses. When relevant, we look at local monitoring in each of the project sites.

The project’s sites have been selected according different criteria: ecosystem type, population density, topography, accessibility, forest and land use, and location in the district. The monitoring activity will be completed in two of these sites.

The main outcome of this internship will be to provide a report on local biodiversity monitoring in the project’s sites, and to contribute to guidelines for a better engagement of local people in decisions related to the management of Mamberamo watershed.

Abstract

Although tropical peatland is a huge carbon reservoir (Maltby and Immirzi 1993), it has been a source of emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) associated with peat fire and peat decomposition enhanced by the drainage for the peatland development (Page et al. 2002, Hirano et al. 2007). Peat decomposition enhances the discharge of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The increase of DOC discharge influences not only the carbon balance (Worrall et al. 2007) but also the climate change as substrates of greenhouse gas productions (Charman et al. 1994). Therefore, it is important to elucidate the change in greenhouse gas emissions from and the DOC discharge in tropical peatland associated with the drainage in order to obtain a more complete picture of the global carbon cycle. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of drainage of the tropical peatland on the greenhouse gas emissions and the DOC dis

Abstract

On Indonesia’s ‘Outher Islands’ (e.g., Sumatra, Kalimantan), land use has proceeded with a diverse mix of development, management and conservation objectives. Currently, several policies, programs and management practices are being explored. In particular, the President SBY’s pledge to reduce carbon emissions from land use change reductions may involve various mechanisms to protect forests (e.g., reduce threats and vulnerability to drought and fires) expand protected area networks as well as implement programs under Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) proposals. Accurate estimates of the spatial extent of land cover change and carbon emissions are required to evaluate these options and assist with effective regional REDD implementation.

Our team currently comprised of five graduate students and post-doctoral researchers proposes to initiate an extensive multidisciplinary research program that will provide information surrounding Land Use and Land Cover Change (LULCC) in Indonesia. We will focus our efforts in a few key regions of Kalimantan and Sumatra where land use change has been or will soon be the most dynamics. Specifically, we propose to measure: 1) past rates and drivers of LULCC; 2) assess future potential rates and drivers of LULCC under various scenarios; and 3) evaluate the livelihoods and land use pradtices of rural village communities. We combine remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), field measurements, surveys and local interviews with modeling. We plan to conduct our field research in West Kalimantan (Ketapang, Sintang, and Kapuas Hulu districts). It will include field –based assessments of carbon budgets and dynamics in several land use and land cover types (dipterocarp, peat and heath forests), effects of drought and fires, forest regeneration, as well as rural livelihoods, and their land use practices. These field case study data, combined with remote sensing and modeling of possible future LULCC trajectories at larger scales will provide an integrated understanding of large scale land cover change dynamics in Indonesia. This proposed research program will likely generate useful information to inform potential trade-offs in land use decisions.

H.8 Collaborative transformation: A community-based approach to learning around coral reef restoration in Lombok, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengevaluasi proses dan hasil pembelajaran individu dan kelompok di sekitar wilayah restorasi terumbu karang, untuk menentukan apakah perubahan dalam pembuatan keputusan oleh masyarakat menjadi keputusan yang lebih mendukung pemeliharaan lingkungan berkelanjutan telah terjadi

Mitra Kerja : Dr. Arif Satria - Fakultas Ekologi Manusia IPB

Abstract

The potential for local communities to degrade coastal marine resources has long been acknowledged (Berkes 2009). However, in recent years, as local communities have been empowered, it is apparent that successful community-based resource management of coastal resources is possible (Satria & Adhuri 2010). Learning, particularly in a social context, has been identified as an important aspect of successful community-based resource management, and has the potential to positively alter resource use patterns (Marschke & Sinclair 2009).

The purpose of this research is to examine the processes and outcomes of individual and group learning around coral reef restoration in Lombok Utara and Lombok Barak to determine whether transformations toward more environmentally sustainable decision-making have occurred. The three main objectives of the research are: (1) to characterize transformation in the social-ecological system under stud}'—that is, document the work done by the community and its partners to restore coral reefs previously damaged; (2) to understand knowledge co-production (fishers' knowledge plus outside knowledge) and social learning in the context of reef restoration; (3) to explore the policy implications of the case study findings for continued restoration activities elsewhere, and to develop materials that will assist this process.

The research results will be fully shared with Indonesian researchers, including Dr. Arif Satria, Dean of Faculty of Human Ecology, Bogor Agricultural University, as well as with the Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries.

H.9 Mangrove and Human Coexistence in Batam, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari pemanfaatan hutan bakau dan aspek-aspek keseimbangan ekosistemnya



Daerah Penelitian : Kep. Riau (P. Batam: Kec. Sungai Beduk, Kec. Saguling)

Mitra Kerja : Haris Gunawan, M.Sc - FMIPA Universitas Riau

Abstract

The mangrove is a generic name of the halophyte colony that grows at the tidal zone from the tropics to the subtropics. That has immediate use for the fuel, wood, and the tannin use, etc. and a bigger effect has been demonstrated indirectly with about prevention of the coast part erosion and meteorological disasters, the marine resources training, and the biodiversity conservation etc. (FAO 2007). But now the development as the industrial site, the conversion to agricultural land and the salt farm, and the creation of shrimp and fish's cultivation ponds, etc. expanded by the modern mechanism of physical distribution and the overseas capital, etc. Those factors probably became key factors that destroy mangrove forests and the ecosystem.

Batam Island where located in the Strait of Malacca, has been developed as an industrial island because there are closed from Singapore. In the island many industrial parks constructed by multinational-corporation are there and the island also has a role of hub port for Singapore. There are the lows that prohibit mangrove deforestation, but still now making charcoal from mangrove have been done in the south of Batam Island. Especially in this decade, the numbers of people who start to do that work at the public space in each village have increased. This return to traditional direct use is thought one of the features of Batam Island. This study’s aim is to reveal social background and influence of this present condition. And then, it will be explained the relationship between Mangrove conditions and that.

I would like to interview to people who make mangrove charcoal so that estimate amount of deforestation from amount of use. And I will examine the restriction and the law to use and management of mangrove in the government. I would like to collect statistics of exported charcoal and whatever about mangrove. And it will be investigated distribution of mangrove charcoal. I will try to clear the recent backgrounds of increasing charcoal kilns. I would like to examine the wood species, the tree height, and the diameter breast high, etc. in 10×10m or 20×20m, to know the current state of the mangrove on the investigation ground.

Abstract

Purpose of research

To better understand how traditional modes of access to marine resources, legal precedents for access to

marine resources, local enforcement, and the efforts of dive tourism operators to create no-take zones

affect the ecology of marine protected areas within the Coral Triangle in Indonesia.

Methodology

I will work with marine biologists from IPB and the international NGO community to build on the basic ecological data that already exists in both Wakatobi and Raja Ampat, and I will use that ecological data to inform my research on the human institutions, both social and political, that underpin the effectiveness of marine reserves in Wakatobi and Raja Ampat. I plan to have six research sites - three in each region - lying within a protected area, within a dive tourism no-take zone, and near a well-establish fishing community. I will collaborate with researchers from IPB and the international NGO community to interview dive operators, fishermen, and government officials to find out where people are fishing in relation to the local marine reserve, how effective reserve enforcement is, how fishing has changed since the reserves were created, whether fishermen have established any formal or informal territories, and how payments from dive operators have affected communities. I will also research the legal basis of agreements between dive operators and fishing communities.

Abstract

In the last 50 years, the island of Borneo has lost over 56% of its lowland rainforest and is currently

losing more than 1.2 mil l ion hectares annually to deforestation. Conservation strategies for threatened

biodiversity are therefore rapidly required to ensure its long term survival. However, studies of the red

langur, Presbytis rubicunda — an endemic to Borneo — have thus far yielded published results at only

three sites and populations whose ranges are restricted entirely to peat swamp forest have never been

studied. The southwestern red langur subspecies P. rubicunda rubida, which occurs in the Sabangau

Forest is currently listed as Not Evaluated on the IUCN threat list. Despite the overall status of/',

rubicunda in likelihood being Least Concern, the extreme level of deforestation of peat swamps and its

unknown threat category is impetus for assessing its status. Through population density correlations with

habitat types it will be possible to extrapolate and predict the abundance of P. rubicunda rubida

throughout its range in peat swamp habitat. Population density correlations with habitat types will

also inform the species' tolerance level to anthropogenic disturbance. We will undertake threat

assessments of habitat loss through GIS analysis and Gap analysis of protected areas, which will

contribute to informing the threat status and conservation actions for this subspecies of primate.

Knowledge of feeding and behavioural ecology variables obtained in this study are also vital for

predicting its' survival by way of population and habitat viability assessments, thus far not possible

due to a lack of data. Currently, long-term behavioural ecology projects of Bornean orangutans and

southern gibbons are ongoing in the Sabangau Forest under The Center for International Co-operation in

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji bagaimana menciptakan paradigma baru dalam penggunaan hutan hujan tropis yang berkelanjutan



Daerah Penelitian : Kalteng (Kab. Seruyan, Kab. Katingagan)

Mitra Kerja : Prof. Bambang Subiyanto - Pusat Inovasi LIPI

Abstract

Aims: This research project focuses on these three targets, 1) to establish the sustainable forest management based on monitoring and adaptive management strategy, 2) to develop the technologies for the high value-added products and effective use of resources, and 3) to support the autonomous development of local communities.

Research Site: Central Kalimantan Concession of Sari Bumi Kusuma is selected as a research site (Kabupaten Seruyan and Kabupaten Katingagan, Central Kalimantan).

Background, Concept and Scope: The rapid deforestation in tropical countries contributes to the increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. About 20% of the increased atmospheric C02 after Industrial Revolution is considered due to the deforestation. The reduction of deforestation rate is, therefore, one of the effective measures to mitigate the climate change. On the other hand, the importance of biomaterial resources is continuously increasing because the demand of recyclable resources is increasing for the reduction of the consumption of fossil resources. The project aims to establish sustainable production system of wood materials in tropical lowland forest in Indonesia through the multidisciplinary researches on bioresources monitoring, on ecologically sustainable management, on the high-value added products from the tropical forest, and on the advanced forest utilization. The project is also expected to contribute to the establishment of international framework of REDD+ (reduced emissions

Research organization

The project consists of five research sub-topics.

1. Ecological sustainability, bio-diversity and carbon pool of tropical rain forest under logging sysmte

2. Monitoring of genetic diversity of commercial timber species

3. Bioethanol group

4. Survey for the organic compounds from the traditional plant resources utilized by the local people

5. History of forest utilization and the autonomous development model under the global world Schedule of field reserch

H.15 Evaluating The Potential of Lidar Data to Support REDD Policy Activities in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengevaluasi pentingnya penggunaan data LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) untuk mendukung kebijakan REDD



Daerah Penelitian : Kalteng (hutan rawa gambut di Blok C Mega Rice Project)


Abstract

To carry out Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) activities and to monitor peat swamp forest areas, unambiguous and timely information is needed on a regular basis. In order to obtain frequent information on large and often remote forest areas, the dependence on field survey is unfeasible in terms both of expenses and time. Based on these factors, the potential of Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) as well as different sources of remote sensing data (e.g. optical and microwave domains) should be considered more intensely in such endangered environments. There are still many unknowns in the application of remote sensing data to map and to retrieve properly biophysical parameters on tropical rain forest successional areas. Field work is necessary in order to validate the results on a local and regional scale. The knowledge of forest succession and the current status of the forest is not only important in order to support REDD evaluation and forest certification but also to understand the functioning of many terrestrial processes, such as water and nutrient cycles and carbon sequestration; key information for global change research.

Environmental and Land Use Change in Sulawesi, Indonesia: Socio-economic and Ecological Perspectives (ELUC)

Subproject: “Integrated modeling of land-use changes at rainforest margins in Indonesia“

Investigation of common farming practices in Central Sulawesi / Vicinity National Park Lore Lindu. Interviews with cacao farmers, accompanied by measurements in representative plantations.

In order to obtain qualitative information on cacao management practices and their variation across time and space, we will retrieve about 50 qualitative interviews with cacao farmers in representative cacao plantations. This information is necessary to parameterize a simulation model on ecological-economical trade-offs currently being developed by the supervisors of this project at the University of Goettingen, Germany. The qualitative part of the interviews serves to get a broad understanding of common farming


109 | P a g e

management practices in the described area and concerns questions about the personal view of the farmers towards their farming practices, their managing strategies, the history of the farm and the farming practices, and whether there is a relationship between immigration to Sulawesi and the adopted farming practices. Quantitative questions about management practices, the plantation, the cacao trees, the canopy cover and ecological drivers will be defined after the qualitative interviews. Where necessary, the interviewing process will be adjusted in the field.

Quantitative information on cacao management practices and their variation across time and space that cannot be retrieved from the interviews will be obtained by own measurements in about 25 representative plantations. These data will also be compared to the information from the interviews.

In order to explore opportunities for an experiment linking insecticide treatment and cacao pod set planned for the following year, we will identify suitable sites in about 12 plantations and initiate the collaboration with the respective farmers in form of contracts about using parts of the plantation as sub-samples and the farmers refraining from using insecticides (in half of the sample plots).

For the interviews, a voice-recorder will be brought from Germany. For own measurements, it is necessary to bring a toolbox for soil analysis, a GPS-device, a compass, a relascope, a spade, a measuring tape and a callip.

Abstract

This project aims to resolve a fundamental question essential for understanding both biodiversity and early human migration patterns in Tropical Southeast Asia: how has the relative extents of tropical rainforest and savanna varied during the last 40,000 years? The microchemistry of thick sequences of cave sediment throughout the region will resolve this question. Determining the history of biodiversity


113 | P a g e

hotspots, refugia, and biogeographic transitions, are essential for making informed projections about future evolution and distribution upon which conservation efforts can be focused. Moreover, determining the first environments encountered by modern humans will inform models of early human dispersal.

We will target caves from eight regions where deep cave sediment deposits were described. These locations are in Aceh and West Sumatera, Sumatera; island sites and Bukit Kelam, Kendangan, and Kong Beng, Borneo, and Leang Burung, Sulawesi. A suite of these sites will strongly enhance our understanding of vegetation change since the last glacial period.

Abstract

Biodiversity represents the richness and variety of all living things that exist on earth. But unfortunately, biodiversity is being lost at an alarming rate and is now a significant issue locally, regionally, and globally. Indonesia covers only 1.3% of the earth's area, yet is home to 17% of the total number of species, many of which are endemic. Especially, Wallacea is a famous and essential bio geographical island group in eastern Indonesia. Sulawesi Island is the largest of these islands occupying about 53% of the island group, located in the northwest part of Wallacea and is getting national and international attentions to help promote their protection and improve the development of the local people's livelihood. The peoples and communities of Sulawesi Island will be the key stakeholders in the conservation of its natural reserves and the development, of Sulawesi as a whole. However, local residents who live in close to ecosystem and manage it don't have the incentive to conserve such environment because of the inability of reflecting Ecosystem Services to the market


114 | P a g e

valuation. To solve this problem, we are required to protect existing ecosystem services by converting assessed environmental value into economic value.

Considering this point, 'Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES)', framework for establishing rational market value to the environment has been introduced in some corner of the world. The Beneficiaries of Ecosystem Service have to pay reasonable price for this service according to the usage and its scale based on the beneficiary pays principal in this framework. Although PES is inst i tut io n with short, history which was introduced in the late 1990s, it is highly expected t he future development as a framework securing the continuous supply of Ecosystem Services in many countries all over the world.

I would like to explore the possibility of PES in Sulawesi Island by detecting the changes in the continuity of the Ecosystem Services' supply affected by the application of PES.

Abstract

The proposed study will apply fish parasites as biological indicators for coastal morphology, fish ecology and ecosystem health. The outcome of this study will be an inventory of fish parasites and a zoogeographical comparison of parasites such as those of zoonotic potential (dangerous also for human health) in commercially important fish species from different localities in Indonesia. During this research, a total of 980 free living fishes from different localities will be examined within two years. The possibility to compare a potential heavily anthropogenic influenced and polluted area (Segara Anakan Lagoon, Cilacap) with unpolluted areas, e.g. Penyu bay on Java and sampling sites next to kedongan, Bali enables us to develop a new method to establish a risk classification system for fish and environmental health in


115 | P a g e

Indonesia. Our research intends to support different coastal stakeholders and decision makers to better control parasite and disease outbreaks in natural ecosystems. Thus, a ranking valuation system for suitable coastal areas with high potential for building or developing finfish mariculture facilities in future can be established. This will help to reduce fish mortality caused by parasites. Another aim is the understanding of potential carrier-system (biotic factors) at the different localities for a better insight of potential dangers caused by zoonotic fish parasites. The project will strengthen the cooperation between the universities in Dusseldorf and Bremen, Germany, the research institutions of the Indonesian Jenderal Soedirman University (UNSOED)(Purwokerto, Java) and the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences at UDAYANA University (Denpasar, Kedonganan, Bali). In future, Indonesian and German students and biologists will be educated in tropical marine fish parasitology, based on collected material from different Indonesia waters.

H.25. Evaluating the Emission of Greenhouse Gases from Major

Tropical Croplands

Tujuan Penelitian : Memperkirakan siklus carbon dan nitrogen pada lahan pertanian dengan jenis tanah tropik dan melakukan evaluasi hubungan antara emisi GHG dan faktor-faktor lingkungan tanah dengan meteoroilogik


Lama Penelitian : 2 (dua) bulan mulai 20 Oktober 2011

Daerah Penelitian : Jabar (Bogor)

Mitra Kerja : IPB (Prof. Dr. Hanny C. Wijaya dan Dr. Suwardi)

Abstract

Global warming has become a big issue in the world due to increase of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), associated with human activities, especially since 1980s. Cycling of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in terrestrial ecosystem influences the emission of GHG. Since soil plays important roles in the C and N cycling, soil can be a source and a sink of GHG depending on land uses and land managements. For example, application of manure usually increases CO2 emission but mitigates the budget of soil organic C compared with application of only chemical fertilizer, because accumulation of organic C is usually higher than the decomposition of organic C. However, organic matter decomposition sometimes accelerates N2O emissions.

In humid-tropical region such as Indonesia, the bioactivity is very high due to high temperature and humidity. Therefore, the speed of bioelement cycling in terrestrial ecosystems is faster and the emissions of GHG can be higher than Japan. It is reported that CO2 and N2O emissions from soil in oil palm


116 | P a g e

plantation and croplands in tropical peatlands of Indonesia and Malaysia were significantly high compared with the emissions in typical Japanese croplands (Melling et al.,2005, Takakai et al.,2006). In order to discuss strategies for mitigation of global warming, it is very important to elucidate the GHG emissions from Oxisol and Ultisol which are the major soil types in tropical agricultural lands.

Thus, the objectives of this study are 1) to estimate C and N cycling in the agricultural lands with major soil types in tropical region, 2) to evaluate the relationships between GHG emissions and soil-environmental and meteorological factors.

Abstract

The immediate goal of this project is to document musical life and the histories of music traditions in ethnically mixed communities in Surabaya and pesisiran region of East Java, an area that is very thinly represented in music scholarship. By emphasizing the many ways musicians draw upon and combine a wide range of musical traditions and styles in performances, 1 hope to develop a grounded understanding of how musicians in these culturally peripheral settings both innovate and draw upon the larger traditions emanating from cultural centers. This project will strive to present an fresh perspective on music history

in Java and Madura by considering the roles of migration and economic pressures on the development of traditional music practices and cultural formations.

Ethnographic study using techniques of participant-observation in music rehearsals and performances; music lessons with expert performers; oral history interviews; interviews on contemporary music practices and styles with performers, sponsors of performances, and audience members.

The project will be based in Surabaya, where I plan to work closely with musicians and instructors at Sekolah Tinggi Kesenian Wilwatikta and Taman Budaya Surabaya. 1 will conduct oral historical research in Pasuruan on the many mylhohistorical tales of the colonial sugar industry preserved in liulruk theatre . 1 plan to conduct interviews and study music performance with musicians in Pasuruan, Probolinggo and Situbondo. In addition, 1 will travel to Madura (Bangkalan, Pamekasan, and/or Sumcnep) for comparative study and to document ongoing relationships between musicians who live in, or perhaps who continue to travel between, the two islands.

I.2 Studying improvisation/structure in Javanese gamelan singing

(sindhenan) to inspire new work

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari komponen-komponen lantunan sinden yang saling berkaitan yakni nada, improvisasi melodi, penempatan ritmik dari melodi tersebut, serta struktur komposisi gamelan dan bagaimana instrumen tersebut mempengaruhi satu sama lain dan berinteraksi dengan pesinden


Lama Penelitian : 12 bulan dimulai 26 September 2011

Daerah Penelitian : DI Yogyakarta, Jateng (Solo)

Mitra Kerja : Suraji Sumarto, S. Kar., M. Sn. - Institut Seni Indonesia Surakarta

Abstract

With ancestral roots in Indonesia and a burgeoning singing and composing career in the contemporary/experimental jazz world, I propose to study the improvisational traditional singing of Javanese gamelan music, sindhenan, in Solo, Indonesia, in order to inspire new compositions and influence my current improvisational language. I will study .sindhenan from two teachers: 1) Bu Mulyani, one of the best pesindhens (the Javanese term for a gamelan singer) from Solo, and whose improvisational variations would be a prime example from which to learn, and 2) Pak Darsono "Vokal," renowned gamelan master and educator at the famed university ISI Surakarta, with whom I would study the broader compositional and aesthetic aspects of Javanese gamelan. This macro-level study is necessaiy


118 | P a g e

because the pesindhen must understand how to sing with all the other instruments of the gamelan. In order to create new work influenced on a deep level by gamelan music, I must learn and absorb many elements of sindhenan. Therefore, I will focus on four of its interrelated components: the tuning, the pesindhen's improvised melodies, the rhythmic placement of these melodies, and the staicture of a gamelan composition and how the instruments cue each other and interact with the pesindhen throughout the composition.

METHODOLOGY: First, the tuning of the two essential scales of gamelan music, called slendro and pelog, are very different from the 12-tone equal temperament (12let) that I was trained to perfect. I will learn to hear and sing in these new tunings by imitating Bu Mulyani and by practicing with the pre-tuned gamelan instalments, thus making slendro and pelog tuning as easy as 12tet to sing.

Secondly, I must memorize and analyze the improvised melodies that a pesindhen sings on top of the bahmgan, which literally means "skeleton" or "frame" played by the instruments and is also the core melody of a Javanese gamelan composition, though Marc Perlman in his book Unplayed Melodies talks about other ways of looking at the balungan.

Thirdly, the pitches of the improvised melody are meaningless without knowing the rhythm, timing, and placement of these melodies. There are specific similarities and differences between rhythmic treatment in sindhenan and jazz improvisation, especially with regard to target endings or what are called cadences in western music. I will apply what I learn from gamelan's approach to these endings to my composition and improvisation in a myriad of ways.

Finally, Pak Darsono "Vokal" will teach me about the structure of a gamelan composition and how it progresses from the singer's perspective.

LOCATION: I will carry out the research in Solo in 10 months right after I complete my CLEA grant, which would start in late September/early October 2011 in Jogjakarta. Wisma Bahasa also offers Javanese, which I will take to better handle the gamelan terminology and lyrics of sindhenan which are all in Javanese. Pak Darsono "Vokal" and Bu Mulyani will decide the exact timeline of my study once I begin lessons. I chose Solo as my base of study because it is known to have the strongest tradition and interest in "soft-style" music, which focuses on sindhenan. Solo is also home to daily klenengan, which are long rehearsals that sometimes function as concerts and feature sindhenan. It is of utmost importance for me to learn sindhenan in Solo because the art form is embedded in the culture, environment, and languages.

I.3 Waljinah: Keroncong, Identity and Modernity in Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Mengkaji bagaimana proses modernisasi di negara-negara non-Barat membuat interpretasi teoritis dari modernitas menjadi lebih rumit; yang

dicerminkan dalam bentuk musik tradisional keroncong

Bidang Penelitian : Seni Musik


Daerah Penelitian : DI Yogyakarta, Jateng (Solo)

Mitra Kerja : Bondet Wrahatnala, S.Sos., M.Sn. - Institut Seni Indonesia Surakarta

Abstract

The basis of my research will be a life history of Waljinah, keroncong's most renowned vocalist,

whose career spans the era of Indonesian independence and modernization beginning in the mid-

twentieth century. I have chosen Waljinah, as opposed to lesser known keroncong artists, because of her

immense stature as performer. Her story deserves to be told—she is Indonesia's most beloved keroncong

singer, as well as an icon of Indonesian independence and "modernity." As a musician, the arc of her

career places her at the forefront of larger developments in the keroncong genre—whose historical

trajectory and popularization in the twentieth century paralleled Indonesia's emergence as a modern (and

modernizing) independent nation.

Drawing from research in ethnomusicology, anthropology, postcolonial studies and critical

theory, I intend to further explore how processes of modernization in non-Western countries continue to

complicate and disrupt previously held theoretical interpretations of modernity. My research follows

scholars who have critiqued models of modernity and modernization based on Western representations

referencing social and cultural changes often specific to conditions in Europe while assuming global

modernities to be the outcome of a simultaneous process everywhere (Kahn 2001). By understanding

these modernities as forms of temporal consciousness and states of on-going traditionalization, I will

examine how keroncong, in ways similar to Indonesian popular theater (Winet 2010, Cohen 2006) and

photographic technology (Strassler 2010), has helped to bind the imagined community of the modern

nation by giving tangible form to the Abstract idea of "national culture."

At this point, much has also been written about modernity as a function of economic

development and state formation, some of it leading to Abstract generalizations and metanarratives

about what constitutes the "modern" and how modernity is successfully achieved. I intend to look beyond

such narratives and more closely at what Habermas (1990) refers to as "communicative lifeworlds" in

order to better understand how the lives of keroncong musicians have been implicated in distinctly

Indonesian aspects of modernization.

This project will fulfill requirements for a Ph.D in ethnomusicology at the University of

California, Riverside. By conducting regular interviews with Waljinah and other keroncong musicians

over an extended stay in Yogyakarta (one year) beginning in September 2011,1 expect to better

understand how developments in "national culture" took place, how Waljinah came to spearhead many of

them, and the sense of nostalgia that keroncong evokes in Indonesia today. Although I expect that

Waljinah will have important insights on the place of keroncong vis a vis the state and nationalist

sentiments, I will also pose such questions to the other musicians, fans and people in the music industry

that I interview in order to collect enough variable data to look for emerging patterns and/or

contradictions.

The evidence collected in my research will be based on extensive in-depth interviews with keroncong musicians about their lives and careers—focusing especially on Waljinah. I will set up a schedule with her where I interview her on a regular and on-going basis and question her in great detail about each period of her life and such things as her training as a singer, her childhood, her family and other background


120 | P a g e

questions, important recordings and performances, her involvement in keroncong musician's organizations as well as the important national events occurring over the course of her life. My dissertation will be a telling of Waljinah's life and a history of keroncong and Indonesia's independence—both from her perspective as well as other musicians but interwoven with my own comments and discussions.

Abstract

I propose to travel to Bandung, West Java to conduct a world music performance based study of Karinding through the help of a Fulbright grant. My proposed dates of research would commence August 28th and last 13 months through October, 10 months would focus on the Fulbright study and project with an additional 3 months of language classes in a Critical Language Enhancement Award, also through the Fulbright.

Under the direction of Drs. Chaedar Alwasilah;Nanang Supriatna (UPI), I will focus on the link

between traditional Sundanese music and its role in strengthening the modern generation's connection

with Sunda cultural heritage. Working under both the performing art and music department will allow me

to assimilate both the theoretical and practical aspects of Sudanese traditional performance focusing on

Karinding. Through a mix of modern media and annotated documentation (photos, recordings, videos,

and accompanying supplemental meanings) I plan to capture the current revitalization of the Karinding

movement and publish a comprehensive overview of this movement available to all online. Using the arts

as a gateway to culture, my proposed study aims to answer the following questions: how are the city,

youth, and culture being impacted by this modern revitalization of Karinding music? What does this mean

for Sundanese people and their traditional values, and how can that be translated to an international

scale? These questions can only be addressed by actively learning and performing the instrument itself.


121 | P a g e

Working in Bandung for 10 months would ensure access to a multitude of cultural events, greater

Sundanese music community, venues, and recording facilities. I hope to start in September 2011, with a

three-month focus on Bahasa Indonesia (official language) at the Bandung Talent Source through tailored

courses. In November, I would resume performing Karinding. and gathering material to expand and

promote my project online. Based on my previous experience, I expect a performance schedule of an

average of 8 shows a month. In February, I would incorporate learning to make Karindings with regular

visits to Sumedang under the instruction of Abah Olot. still concentrating on recording and

documentation. Bandung is also a central hub for visiting surrounding traditional Sundanese villages of

Badui luar (outer Badui), Cipta Gelar, and Kampung Naga among others. March through May, after 6

months of language immersion, I aim to visit these surrounding traditional Sundanese villages to connect

with, and fully understand, some of the more traditional aspects of Sundanese culture.

Abstract

As a recipient of the U.S. Fulbright-mtvU Award, I will research Indonesian music and language in Yogyakarta for thirteen months beginning in October. 2010. Established by the U.S. State Department in collaboration with mtvU in 2007. the Fulbright mtvU program supports projects with significant community engagement and explore the power of music as a force for global understanding. My project will examine relationships between children's musical expression in Indonesia, and Indonesia's model of cultural diversity that is outside the perspective of many American youths. I will be affiliated with The Indonesian Institute of the Arts in Yogyakarta. While conducting research through the Institute's music and ethnomusicology departments, I will learn local songs Indonesian children identify as reflections of their values, ideals and social positions. I have also received a Critical Language Enhancement Award to support three months of intensive language study prior to beginning my ten-month research project.


122 | P a g e

Learning Bahasa Indonesian, the national language, will allow me to communicate more effectively with people in Java and gain a better understanding of the music I research. With the Critical Language Enhancement Award. I will study Bahasa Indonesian with the Indonesian Language Culture Learning Service (INCULS) at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta. During my time in Yogyakarta, I will also immerse myself in the local dialect by participating in daily activities at the Institute of the Arts and within the community. As my language skills develop, I will learn more about Javanese society through formal and informal interviews with the faculty and students of the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, children participating in the music program, and other local interlocutors. Via interviews and participant observation, I will gain valuable insights into Javanese music and children's roles in Indonesian society.

I plan to begin my ten-month research project in January, 2011 in affiliation with the Indonesian Institute of the Arts in Yogyakarta. ISI will provide me with the academic resources to research Javanese music, with special emphasis on music by and for children. While conducting research through the Institute's music and ethnomusicology departments, I will also examine local songs that reflect the values, ideals, and social positions of Indonesian children. The musical practices among Indonesian youth will serve as windows into Java's history of diversity. I have designed a ten-month middle school music program, which I intend to implement as part oflhe Institute of the Arts' community service initiatives. This program will help local children develop their musical skills, and use music as a didactic tool for learning English.

My project is designed to amplify children's voices, as well as their concerns and values. My experience working with children, my training as a musician, and my understanding of ethnomusicological theory and methodology equip me for this project. My affiliation with the Indonesian Institute of the Arts makes the project highly feasible. With support from the Fulbright-mtvU Fellowship. I will implement my plans to study music by and for children in Yogyakarta, and develop a music program that raises awareness among American students of the richness and diversity of Indonesian culture.

Abstract

Indonesia dalam dekade ini banyak mengalami permasalahan-permasalahan yang menyangkut sumberdaya alam seperti penurunan stok pangan, deforestasi dan kebakaran hutan dan Iain-Iain yang tentu saja sangat memerlukan perhatian yang serius dalam penanganannya. Laju perubahan lahan pertanian menjadi lahan non-pertanian mencapai 65.7% dan deforestasi sebesar 2% pertahun. Jika hal ini terus berlanjut, produksi padi dan fungsi hutan sebagai paru-paru dunia menjadi terancam yang berarti pula akan mengancam kestabilan persediaan pangan nasional dan kualiatas hidup akibat dari peningkatan kadar C02 di udara.

Langkah awal yang harus dilakukan saat ini adalah bagaimana bisa memantau laju perubahan lahan pertanian, perhitungan produktivitas padi dan monitoring luasan hutan secara cepat, akurat dan kontinu dengan memanfaatkan teknologi yang handal.

Teknologi satelit penginderaan jauh saat ini adalah teknologi yang banyak dimanfaatkan untuk pemantauan perubahan tutupan lahan di permukaan bumi. Teknologi hiperspektral penginderaan jauh merupakan pengembangan dari teknologi multispektral, yang memiliki ratusan band yang sempit sehingga mampu menyajikan spektral yang kontinu pada setiap objek yang diamati. Riset yang diusulkan diarahkan untuk menghitung dan menganalisis luas lahan sawah di daerah Kabupaten Karawang dan Indramayu dan perhitungan luas kawasan hutan (dan sensus pohon) diatas kawasan hutan industri dan hutan gambut di Kalteng. Hasil riset akan berguna untuk sebuah sistim informasi ketahanan pangan nasional dan pemantauan carbon melalui sistem MRV (Measurement Reporting Verification) terkait dengan implementasi programKetahan Pangan Nasional dan REDD+ (Reduction Emission from Deforestation and Degradation)untuk mendukung upaya mitigasi dan adaptasi perubahan iklim.

K.1 R/V Sonne Cruise 217 (MAJA) Makassar-Singapore

Tujuan Penelitian : Mempelajari variabilitas arus laut Indonesia selama 150.000 tahun terakhir dan dampaknya pada sejarah iklim di kawasan yang akan melengkapi hasil ekspedisi sebelumnya di Laut Timor (2005)

Bidang Penelitian : Geologi Kelautan

Lama Penelitian : 1 (satu) bulan mulai 24 Juli 2011

Daerah Penelitian : Selat Makassar, Laut Flores dan bagian timur Laut Jawa

Mitra Kerja : Ir. Subaktian Lubis, M.Sc. - Balitbang Energi dan Sumberdaya Mineral, ESDM

Abstract

The main objectives of Cruise SO-217 will be (1) to determine the isotopic and geochemical characteristics of North Pacific thermocline water and cool South Pacific intermediate water, which form the two main components of the ITF (Gordon et a!., 2003); (2) to evaluate the hydrographic profiles of the two main inflow paths, (3) to document changes in the ITF inflow during the late Pleistocene and (4) to test model predictions of a strongly reduced glacial throughflow and significantly changed

hydrographic profile in the Makassar strait. To achieve these objectives we will carry oout a regional multicorer core-top calibration within the Makassar Strait and Java Sea and undertake high resolution measurements of the following paleoceanographic proxies in piston cores over the last two glacial cycles:

1. SSTs and thermocline depth (planktonic transfer functions, Mg/Ca, 6,80 of planktonic species)

2. Marine productivity (benthic foraminiferal indices, dinoflagellates, TOC, chlorins, barium, iV3C gradient)

3. Intermediate and deep water mass characteristics (neodymium, fi13C)

4. Bottom current intensity (sortable silt, BF)

5. Terrigenous fluxes and land-ocean climate interaction (clay minerals, pollen)


129 | P a g e

This work will be integrated with modelling experiments of the glacial ITF and paleooceanographic studies within the main inflow paths of the ITF (Marion Dufresne cruise Marco Polo II, Bolliet et al 2010) and the outflow through the Timor and Ombai Passages (RV Sonne cruise 185 in fall 2005) (Holbourn et al., 2005; Xu et al., 2006, 2008, 2010; Durkop et al., 2007, Zuraida et al 2009) using the same proxies and calibrations. Our ultimate goal will be to reconstruct the variability of the ITF inflow, passage through the main bottleneck in the Makassar Strait, and outflow over the last few glacial cycles and to elucidate the role that ITF variability may play during rapid (millennial and centennial) and long-term climate change.

Abstract


132 | P a g e

This proposal for joint research between the Geological Survey Institute at Bandung and the University of Wollongong, aims at excavating Quaternary deposits on Flores and Sulawesi in order to obtain further information on the spatial and chronological distribution of fossils, stone artifacts, paleolandscape features and depositional processes at known and yet to be discovered new sites on these islands. Interdisciplinary surveys of the Soa Basin in Flores and the Walanea Basin in South Sulawesi, will better document the spatial and chronological distribution of paleolandscape features, sedimentary facies, resources, fossils and stone artifacts. This will be integrated with systematic collection of volcanic ash and lacustrine samples for chemical fingerprinting, sourcing, interpretation and high precision ages. The aim is to reconstruct the geomorphic, landscape and paleoenviromental historyof the basin in greater detail, to provide a context for the earlier excavations, and to identify further sites with potential to yield Middle Pleistocene hominin skeletal remains. The research is planned to take place during the period 2010-2013 for periods of up to three months.

Abstract

Transplantasi hati ortotopik [Orthotopic Liver Transplantation = OLT) telah diakui di seluruh dunia

untuk pengobatan penyakit-penyakit hati akut yang mengancam kehidupan dan penyakit-penyakit

terminal kronis. Namun karena kurangnya donor di seluruh negara dan adanya kriteria yang ketat dalam

pencangkokan organ, kita membutuhkan mefode pengobatan lain yang dapat setidaknya memperbaiki

fungsi hati pada saaf transisi sebelum pencangkokan dapat dilakukan (jembatan sebelum

pencangkokkan). Selain itu, masalah kekurangan organ, pengobatan yang terbafas dan penyakit hati

kronis dan kemungkinan untuk memburuknya perjalanan penyakit, menuntut prosedur tambahan baru

yang dapat dilakukan. Bahkan untuk pasien yang tidak memenuhi persyarafan untuk pencangkokkan hati

dan tidak dapat dimasukkan dalam daftaryang membutuhkan cangkok hati, harus ada pilihan lain selain

obat-obatan, yang dapat memperpanjang perjalanan penyakit. Prosedur infrakorporeal dan

ekstrakorporeal (mis. MARS dan PROMETHEURS) terlalu mahal, terlalu rumit penerapannya dan tidak

cukup baik. Jadi hal ini memberikan tempat untuk prosedur pencangkokkan hati yang baru seperti

implan matriks hepatosif.

2. Identifikasi dan Perumusan Masalah

Penelitian ini harus dapat menjawab pertanyaan berikut :

■ a. Apakah penggantian jaringan dengan hati bioartifisial dapat membantu hati yang bermasalah

dalam melakukan fungsinya?

b. Apakah implan-matriks hepatosif tersebut dapat bertahan?

c. Apakah ada efek samping atau infoleransi?

d. Seberapa besar parameter-parameter hati baik secara kimia ataupun

laboratorium diperbaiki?

e. Apakah ada faktor-fakfor fertentu yang dapat mempengaruhi efektivitas


135 | P a g e

implan matriks hepalosit?

f. Berapa lama implan mafriks hepatosit dapat efektif?

3. Tujuan Penelitian

3.1. Tujuan Umum

- Mempertahankan, memperbaiki dan memulihkan fungsi hati dan kesehatan pasien yang

mengalami penyakit hati.

- Menguji, megumpulkan dan menambah pengetahuan yang telah dikembangkan di

Jerman.

Pada proses penerapan langsung dari prosedur baru ini, pasien yang berpartisipasi dalam

penelitian ini merupakan prioritas utama dan hasil yang diharapkan akan sebanding dengan

risiko yang akan ditanggung.

3. 2. Tujuan Khusus

Penelitian ini harus memperbaiki fungsi hati yang terbatas pada psien dengan penyakit hati akut

dan kronis. Pasien yang diikutsertakan pada penelitian ini adalah orang-orang yang tidak dapat

memiliki fungsi hati yang normal lagi karena penyakit hati (walau sudah mendapat pengobatan

lain, kecuali OLT). Karena itu, tujuannya adalah mengembalikan fungsi hafi dan kemudian

mengobati gejala-gejala klinis. Narr.un, kita tidak dapat mengharapkan bahwa penyakit yang

mendasari kelainan fungsi hati ini akan disembuhkan.

4. Manfaat Penelitian

• Implan matriks hepatosif autolog sebagai pengganti bioartifisial sel hafi diharapkan dapat

mempertahankan, memperbaiki, dan memulihkan fungsi hati dalam batas-batas tertentu.

• Implan matriks hepatosif autolog ini dapat menjadi jembatan penghubung selama dalam masa

tunggu untuk cangkok hati yang sesungguhnya atau sebagai penunjang hati yang memperbaiki

kualifas hidup penderita penyakit hati terminal yang tidak dapat menerima cangkok hati karena

berbagai alasan.

• Namun demikian, tetap harus diingat bahwa matriks tidak dapat menggantikan fungsi hati

secara keseluruhan ataupun menyembuhkan penyakit hati yang mendasari kelainan hati yang

sudah ada.

5. Risiko Penelitian

• Implantasi sel autolog (tidak akan membawa masalah imunologis)

Substansi matriks (poly-L-lacfide) sudah digunakan selama bertahun-tahun tanpa masalah

Abstract

This research will examine the behaviour of entrepreneurs and groups of entrepreneurs and their adjustment to institutional change within Indonesia's palm oil value chain. My interest entrepreneurship coincides with the Indonesian government's desire for an entrepreneurial class of small-to-medium sized companies that could help


138 | P a g e

overcome the problem of underemployment in rural areas. My research in Indonesia will test a model of institutions and entrepreneurship that I have developed for extended case based field work. The model draws on the study of identity, entrepreneurship and New Institutional Economic theory providing a basis to consider the ramifications of policies initiated by government and industry during the past decade. The reform process has obliged changes in entrepreneurial behaviour and the redevelopment of institutional norms. By way of open ended interviews with entrepreneurs I will establish what determines the processes of adaptation and the resilience of business groups.

Abstract

My research purpose is to (1) simplify implementation of international teaming in course projects for computer

science faculty members at ITB and TAMU; (2) Enrich the real-world, collaborative project experience of

computer science students, aiding their ability to gain employment in global companies; (3) Stimulate

relationships between ITB and local companies in Bandung offering software development services, leading to

future joint-development efforts; (4) Establish a relationship between ITB and TAMU computer science faculty

for conducting future joint teaching and research projects; (5) Suggest criteria for selecting class projects that

result in the best team performance.

Methodology: I propose to coordinate with ITB and TAMU teachers on two selected courses (same or very

similar) to include a team lab project where students are grouped into teams that include members from each

institution to achieve solutions to the assigned project. On these team projects, I suggest using a multipart

approach to project specification where successive parts are increasingly more difficult. Project teams will

function to assign individual members specific tasks on each step. Therefore, team members must contribute

individually to the success of each step. Team member perception of each step will be assessed using a Ukert scale

questionnaire. Member performance will be assessed based on their individual and their team contributions in

accordance with ITB and TAMU customs. Team performance will be assessed by considering their collaborative

behaviors and how well the solutions meet stated requirements. Each team's overall perception of the project

will be assessed using a Ukert scale questionnaire.

Abstract

This research proposes to investigate the dynamics of marine resource use, social networks and nature conservation in two of Indonesia’s regional MCAs in Spermonde (Sulawesi) and Berau (Kalimantan) to generate empirical data for socially informed policy making. We propose an in-depth exploration of diverging perspectives of stakeholders regarding the MCAs and link these to their underlying perceptions of nature and sustainability. Through a focus on social networks the study intends to point out the conditions that facilitate the fruitful collaboration and exchange of knowledge across different societal


140 | P a g e

scales and places. These insights provide essential interdisciplinary groundwork for policymaking that supports sustainable partnerships in Indonesia’s regional (marine) resource management.

In the context of Indonesia’s on-going process of decentralization the Indonesian government has embraced conservation approaches involving social and economic considerations across various sectors and scales and prescribing co-management between government agencies and local communities, to reach socially inclusive marine protection (Christie et al., 2009; Leisher et al., 2009; Satria et al., 2006). The establishment of such inclusive Marine Conservation Areas has proven to be a complex process, because it involves multiple stakeholders who often have different perspectives and interests regarding the marine space (Satria et al., 2006). Even when there is broad consensus that a particular marine ecosystem should be saved, ideas may still differ between, for example, local communities and conservation workers regarding the way in which this should be realized in practice. Stakeholders often have different priorities leading to different ideas of what resource use is still allowed, what kind of co-management is appropriate and how and by whom conservation gains and setbacks will be assessed (Glaser et al., 2010). In short: the ‘idea of MCA’ tags alternative perceptions and interests, which influence the ways interventions for marine conservation are acted out and given priority in the context of regional development.

General research question: How are different ‘ideas of MCA’ formed in relation to the social networks stakeholders participate in, and how does the enactment of these different ideas influence the ways in which interventions for marine conservation are acted out in practice in Spermonde and Berau?

SIGNIFICANCE

In-depth study of social conditions of MCA building MCAs are now being introduced all over Indonesia as an environmental management tool. But they are not simply a new tool in marine governance. They involve different social practices, values, and interests of actors at local and regional scales that need to be understood from within, rather than critiqued from outside, through a practice based study (Christie et al., 2009; Fabinyi et al. 2010). Most researchers, however, do not stay in the field long enough to really engage with the full range of stakeholders in MCA building, like regional government officials, entrepreneurs, and fishers. Also, often women are left out of the picture. Social scientists usually do take this time and effort, but until recently they were largely absent from MCA studies, which have so far been dominated by conservation biologists (Visser, 2004). There is an urgent need for in-depth studies of the economic and social-cultural motivations of these different actors regarding MCAs and their meaning for regional development. By using a qualitative case-study approach, this research will make a sincere effort to bridge the knowledge gap between general conservation objectives and the ways different local or regional stakeholders actually perceive of and deal with the implementation of conservation efforts in the context of fisheries and regional development. These insights will help to understand why people do or do not support nature conservation projects. This is important input for socially informed policy making and to ascertain how policymaking can make use of these views.

Insight in trans-local social networks

The case study approach investigates empirically how different MCA perspectives or 'ideas of MCA' lead to different ways in which the MCA is acted out in day-to-day practice. We hypothesise that the way stakeholders (for example: environmental NGOs, Departments of Fisheries, communities, traders, POKMASWAS etc.) engage in social networks influences the way they relate to their environment and how they think of conservation. Various studies have shown that local actors are often involved in social and economic networks that are not of a local scale, but which influence the way MCAs are perceived or given priority (Adhuri & Visser, 2010). People’s involvement in these networks of trade, migration, other coastal resource uses and interests influence their priorities and actions regarding marine protection in day-to-day practice. We need to see these actors in relation to the networks they form and engage in. To understand different perceptions and priorities of nature conservation in the context of regional development, the research therefore uses an actor-network theoretical framework (see 4.2) and ethnographic research methodology (see 5.3 and 5.4), which is an innovative combination in the field of marine conservation studies. Outcomes of this study provide marine scientists, policy implementers and


141 | P a g e

practitioners with insights in how local and trans-local networks (trade, migration, tourism etc.) affect the MCA building process and influence the role of MCA in regional development.

Exploring synergy between conservation goals and regional development at the local scale

Our empirical study will show why, and under what socio-economic conditions people support nature protection and what kind of policies make biodiversity protection compatible with regional development interests. It is certainly not our intention to assess the success or failure of MCA projects in the two selected research sites. Of vital importance is the design of appropriate policies and management arrangements that fit their social context of application (Cleaver, 2002). The proposed research can illuminate possible innovative ways in which coastal actors and stakeholders collaborate and deal with complex situations in their marine environment. Thereby, the outcomes of this study contribute to formulate a sustainable future for Indonesia's marine biodiversity and fisheries sector.

BACKGROUND

Concerns for marine biodiversity loss, the rising sea level and the extinction of aquatic species have become major themes in environmental policies and discourses on marine resources management worldwide (Adhuri & Visser, 2007; Hoeksema, 2007). This has resulted in a growing amount of initiatives for the definition of marine conservation areas and other forms of coastal and marine protection programs. Especially coral reefs, the 'rainforests of the sea', with their diverse but vulnerable marine life are now considered important ecosystems for conservation efforts and biodiversity studies (Hoeksema, 2007; Leisher et al., 2009). Over-fishing, marine biodiversity loss and destruction of coral reefs are considered major concerns for South-East Asia’s coastal ecosystems for both environmental and humanitarian reasons, urging socially and ecologically sustainable forms of marine protection (Worm et al., 2006). Indonesia is faced with dwindling fish stocks and increased competition over scarce marine resources between fishers and between scales of fishing operations (Pomeroy et al., 2007). Global networks for the trade in high-value marine products link Indonesia's coastal waters to far-away metropoles while multiple coastal and island-dwelling communities in Indonesia depend on fishing for daily subsistence (Harkes, 2006; Lowe, 2006).

The adoption of the internationally applied Marine Conservation Area conservation model by the Indonesian government has resulted in a rapid expansion of MCAs in Indonesia, with a targeted MCA area of 10 million ha. in 2010 (KKP, 2009; KKP, 2011). Despite the potential of MCA models as management tools, their envisioned effects have been limited (Christie et al. 2009), especially in cases where local support is missing or conflicting stakeholders’ interests hamper collaboration (Fabinyi et al., 2010). Indonesia's current decentralization creates room for the development of conservation policies that fit their context of implementation (Warren & McCarthy, 2010). But this also means that in order to create multi-stakeholder support for marine conservation programs it is necessary to look for ways to integrate conservation goals with different stakeholder's social and economic interests. Sustainable outcomes require socially informed policies that view conservation as part of regional development planning.

THEORECTICAL & CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Actor-oriented sociology

The research draws on the legacy of actor-oriented development sociology (Long, 2001; Mosse, 2005; Olivier de Sardan, 2005). This theoretical tradition indicates the need for empirical investigation of development practice to shed light on 1) how interventions for conservation and development interact with the day-to-day practices, perceptions and relationships of the various actors involved and 2) how these interventions interplay with the wider social-institutional contexts in which they are enacted. In particular studies carried out within the Actor-Oriented Approach, developed by scholars in social anthropology in Wageningen University (De Haan & Long, 1997; Long, 1992; Long, 2001) show that social change is actively mediated though the actions of individual and collective actors. Actor-oriented sociology gives room to agency; despite structural constraints, people actively search and create room for maneuver to shape their social and material conditions in daily practices.


142 | P a g e

Actor-Network Theoretical approach

The Actor-Network Theoretical approach (ANT) regards concepts like MCA as being open to different interpretations, and it regards these interpretations as the result of the different networks people participate in. ANT scholars (Callon, 1986; Latour, 2005; Law & Mol, 2002) make an explicit link between concepts and the material world 'out there' by showing that these different interpretations and ideas lead to different ways in which the concept is turned into practice. In this case: how do particular ideas of what MCA means lead to different ways in which conservation interventions are planned, prioritized and negotiated in meetings. ANT scholars have shown how networks are the result of interactions between and among actors at different scales, and explain how some networks become more influential and durable than others. The ANT approach is in particular relevant to coastal social environments as coastal people's resource use patterns are complex and highly mobile (Visser, 2004). By applying the ANT approach in the field of marine conservation we can show how people's network-mediated interests lead to different ways in which marine conservation is prioritized in the regional development context.

METHODOLOGICAL DESIGN

Subquestions

From the general research question (page 1) we have composed the following subquestions that will give direction to our focus of research:

a) What are the different positions taken in the two MCA programs in Spermonde and in Berau, what priorities are articulated with respect to the MCA?

b) How are these positions and priorities related to interests and perceptions of different stakeholders in marine resources use?

c) In what ways are these actors involved in networks of interest and collaboration? d) How do these networks support or interfere current efforts to build the MCA in the two selected

sites? e) What lessons can be drawn regarding the meaning of the MCA for regional development and policy

making regarding coastal areas?

Selection of research sites:

The proposed research uses an empirical case study approach and most of the research is therefore carried out in two MCAs in Indonesia: Berau (Kalimantan) and Spermonde (Sulawesi). The Berau MCA in East-Kalimantan was established under Law 31/2004 and Government Regulation 60/2007 and part of the Spermonde archipelago just off Sulawesi’s southwest coast was declared an MCA under Law 27/2007. Both MCAs are part of a new generation of Indonesian conservation areas falling under district authority, with a policy framework that explicitly acknowledges the need for multi-level and multi-sector involvement in MCA building and active participation of local communities through co-management arrangements (COREMAP, 2002; Glaser et al., 2010 (for Spermonde); Wiryawan et al., 2005; WWF, 2009 (for Berau)). The two sites are related by a common cultural-historical origin of the majority of the people in both sides from Sulawesi by migration (Mandar, Buginese, Makassarese and Bajau), and family networks between these two MCA areas across the sea (Makassar Strait) exist until today as well as direct trade and fishing networks linking the Berau coast to Spermonde traders (Zerner, 2003).

The choice for two sites enables us to show how different configurations of interests and perspectives lead to different MCA outcomes. This enables all stakeholders to use the insights of this research to reflect on the role of the MCA within Indonesia's decentralization process and regional development planning.

Population and multi-sited fieldwork

To define our research population we use a combination of theoretical and snowball sampling (Boeije, 2010). We use the notion of 'following the actor', which means studying the relational and discursive connections informants make themselves (Latour, 2005) and by following their connections we can trace their social network(s). As a result it may become necessary to join informants when they go to other


143 | P a g e

places (e.g. the market, other villages, fishing grounds). A multi-sited ethnographic approach (Marcus, 1995) is necessary to analyze how people form networks in their daily lives beyond the local scale. Because we aim to study different perceptions of nature and conservation, we involve a diverse research population. We expect to include fishers and their wives, fish traders, boat owners, local tourism operators and staff of local NGOs and conservation agencies. The researcher will also consult key actors in the MCA building process in both sites: fisheries departments, local NGOs and government agencies, marine scientists, to obtain insight in the MCA building process in both sites, as well as to obtain insight views by those in charge with putting the MCA into practice.

Methods and techniques for data collection

Interviews and conversations: Interviews are essential for this research to explore the underlying perceptions and interest of people that inform how they prioritize MCA issues. They can range from informal chat on a daily basis to repeated semi-structured to open-ended interviews. The use of topic-lists will structure the information gathered and allows for qualitative and quantitative interview analysis. The necessary long-term and exploratory nature of the fieldwork makes it impossible and irrelevant to define beforehand the exact number of interviews and informants, but we strive to cover the perspectives of key informants of different stakeholder groups in the two MCAs. Interviews and focus group discussions are done with the consent of informants. The researcher speaks Bahasa Indonesia well. She intends to acquire (basic) Buginese language skills.

Participant observation: To answer sub-questions A, B and C (and indirectly D) the research requires an in-depth empirical focus that starts from the exploration of the everyday practices, perceptions and motivations of different stakeholders involved. Doing participant observation means that the researcher stays for longer periods of time at a site or with a particular group of people (e.g. a local community, or staff of a local NGO) to understand people’s perceptions, interests and relations from within the social context of the informants themselves (May, 2001). Participant observation is used in this research to gain insight in on-sight practices and discourses regarding marine resource use and conservation. Attending meetings (e.g. village meeting or stakeholder workshop) is a particular form of participant observation, and useful to obtain insight in how MCA issues are locally discussed and negotiated.

Literature study and document analysis: We will consult a wide range of literature and reports on nature conservation, marine resource management, development policy and practice from Indonesian and international scholars as well as reports on other MCA programs in Indonesia and beyond. Current Indonesian policies and laws regarding decentralization and conservation will be studied at the start of the research, as we consider this an important background for the further research. Secondary resources like maps of conservation zones, MCA plans in both research sites, as well as statistical data of BPS and monitoring reports of Fisheries Departments on (for example) coral reef health or fishing quota, will serve to provide the necessary statistical data for subquestions D and E. This quantitative data is also used to contextualize the qualitative data derived from the interviews. Insights from interviews, observations and document analysis together result in quantitative and qualitative data analysis as input for policy recommendations.

EXPECTED OUTPUT:

Policy recommendations

Policy recommendations will be part of this research’s output. With this research we intend to provide a scientific input to marine governance and regional policy making for integrated development. By increasing our understanding of how MCAs are acted out in different ways we hope to contribute to the understanding that in modern, decentralized, Indonesia we cannot apply just one single MCA model. We need regional contextualization for integrated development. We also expect to provide policy recommendations on supporting or constraining conditions for sustainable partnerships for marine conservation in a regional development context.

Dissemination of results


144 | P a g e

In both the Kalimantan and the Sulawesi site we will share insights and recommendations from the fieldwork with local government departments, the NGOs and the researchers of the two Indonesian partner universities. We plan to do this by organizing workshops/seminars in both sites at the end of the fieldwork for which we will invite the different parties mentioned above. These workshops will be organized in collaboration with the two Indonesian counterparts (UnMul/UnHas). Besides a dissemination of results and recommendations, we also see this as an opportunity to discuss results and receive feedback as input for the writing of the final thesis.

The project results will be published in a Ph.D. thesis at Wageningen University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. L.E. Visser. Various articles in high standard international scientific journals as well as policy recommendations will be presented and made available to the NGOs and university institutes (UnMul, UnHas) and government agencies that are involved in this research, as well as The State Ministry of Research and Technology (RISTEK). For RISTEK the researcher will also write progress reports and a final report according to the standards specified by RISTEK.

Abstract

Timber production in Indonesia having a rich tropical rain forest were mainly produced in the islands except Java Island like Kalimantan Island (hereafter outer islands) for export since 1950 (Thee, 2009). After that, quantity of log export increased rapidly, because Forestry law and foreign capital investment law were enforced in 1967. But, with tightening the timber export control by a series of policy for timber processing industrialization called New Forestry Policy 1979, timber processing industry had grown (Guritno and Murao, 1999). Particularly plywood mills which take a form such as process industry


145 | P a g e

were attached to logging companies which had concession right, and gradually became large scale mills that had plural concession rights and places for ensuring timber in Kalimantan Island and Sumatera Island (Fenton, 1996). Since the beginning of 1990s, however, it was tangible exhaustion of natural forest resources, because of development of timber processing industry, large-scale forest fire in 1997/8, and an increase of illegal logging and cultivation. And, the amount of timber production reduced drastically from 2.3 million m3 in 1996 to 8.0 million m3 in 1999 and recently even reduced 7.4 million m3 in 2008 (Departemen Kehutanan, 2002; 2006a; 2009). Importance of natural forest has risen, and biodiversity conservation and carbon stock are had priority. And, supply of timber resources are expected shifting to plantation forest (FAO, 2006). It can be said the time is ripe for plantation.

For the situation of the forest resources in Indonesia, it can be thought that timber processing industry that had depended on natural forest in outer islands has been forced not only to reduce the scale and reorganize but also change the way to ensure raw materials. Therefore, I am going to analyze a change of utilized raw materials by timber processing companies and a position of plantation forest timber in recent years. For this survey, I divid areas in Kalimantan Island by 2; one is areas that have many timber processing companies and form an aggregate of company like Kota Pontianak in Propinsi Kalbar and Kota Samarinda in Propinsi Kaltim (hereafter ‘aggregate type’) and another is areas that have an isolated company (one area a few companies, but each company’s scale is big) like Kabupaten Kota-Baru in Kalimantan Selatan and Kabupaten Barito-Selatan in Propinsi Kalteng (hereafter ‘isolated type’). Furthermore, in DIY and Kota Surabaya, there are companies that utilize recycled timber for products (hereafter ‘new trial type’). It is a new technology or trial in the situation of forest resources exhaustion. I am going to interview for this companies, too.

This study will be discussed 1) strategies of timber processing companies for ensuring raw materials, and 2) difference of timber production system between ‘aggregate type’ and ‘isolated type’ in Kalimantan Island and ‘new trial type’ in Java Island.

Abstract

Reducing deforestation as a mechanism for mitigating climate change has recently climbed to the top of international forestry agendas. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) has dominated global debates on forest governance, and pilot projects are springing up fast throughout the forest-rich developing world. REDD+ looks increasingly less dependant on the achievement of a post-2012 international agreement on climate change, and there are several alternatives for its wide-scale implementation. The high profile of REDD+ has somewhat shifted the focus away from core debates in international forestry, such as the role that forests play in rural poverty (Wunder, 2001, Arnold, 2002, Angelsen and Wunder, 2003, Sunderlin et al., 2005) or how power and control over forests is distributed (Vandergeest and Peluso, 1995, Klooster, 2005, Agrawal, 2007, Sikor and Nguyen, 2007, Sikor and Thanh, 2007). Instead, REDD presents itself with powerful rhetoric on the expected “win-win” outcomes of its implementation, downplaying opportunity costs in favour of claims about the delivery of REDD+ “co-benefits” (positive outcomes beyond emissions reductions, such as poverty alleviation, biodiversity conservation and improved governance). One of the claims made over the possibility for realising co-benefits through REDD+ is the improvement of governance due to the proprietary nature of carbon trading, but there are questions around whether this will signify a shift towards re-centralisation (Phelps et al., 2010). Clear tenure status and property regimes are required to ensure accountability, investment security and appropriate distribution of benefits arising from the sale of carbon credits. However, property regimes around Indonesia´s forests have long been contested. Additionally, from the forest users perspective, securing tenure is not guaranteed to translate into benefits and may indeed act as a tool for marginalisation (Cotula, 2009), which could aggravate poverty rather than alleviate it.

This research aims to reconnect REDD+ to core issues at the intersection between international development and forest governance. Drawing on access theory, the analysis will focus on how shifts in forest governance (in this case brought about by the implementation of REDD+) impact on the processes and practices of forest access in rural communities, and how in turn this affects individuals’ ability to benefit from forest resources.

Rationale and objectives

The implementation of REDD has the potential to be the most significant contemporary change to tropical forest governance, with direct implications for the lives of some 1.2 billion rural people living in extreme poverty, and who depend on forest resources (WorldBank, 2004). However, there is a significant gap in the knowledge of how REDD implementation will deliver the claims on assumed co-benefits, particularly in what concerns impacts on governance and livelihoods. This study aims to help fill that gap, by contributing empirical evidence on the dynamics of local forest access under different governance regimes, and by analysing the implications this has in making appropriate choices for REDD implementation.

Abstract

Lowland peatland in Southeast Asia cover 25 to 35 Million hectares (Mha), which is mostly distributed in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam and Papua New Guinea. Southeast Asian peatlands are important for global tropical peat C-store and provide the ecological services. The land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) on this ecosystem leads to a loss of carbon, biodiversity and hydrology buffers function. To address these problems, restoration are urgently required. We selected two restoration experimental sites in Riau Biosphere Reserve the following: 1) logged over forest in Bukit Batu conservation areas, and 2) three distinct degradation levels of peatland areas due to severe fire in Tanjung Leban Village. We also set up simple nurseries in forest area, Temiang and Tanjung Leban Village. Hydrology restoration carried out by establishing block canal in Tanjung Leban Village. The our hypothesis are re-wetting peatland is an important key to vegetation restoration and protection of remaining peatcarbon stocks. The objective of study are 1) vegetation rehabilitation and restoration of hydrology, 2) promotion of sustainable livelihoods for local communities and bio-resources conservation, 3) restoration of carbon sequestration and protection of remaining peat carbon stocks, 4) discussions for innovative financial mechanism, e.g. REDD+ scheme, multi donor thrust fund, and private sector taxes (CSR, Corporate Social Responsibility). The preliminary result indicated that successful of restoration can be used to promote sustainable livelihoods for local community, bio-resources conservation and carbon sequestration mechanism. However the promotion of innovative financial mechanism should be done to extend the capacity of restoration program in biosphere reserve in the future. Restoration experiments are still continuing for both in Tanjung Leban Village and Temiang Village. Monitoring trees growth, biomass and carbon content estimation, establishing more canal block, water table level, transplanting seedling trees, and taking the soil sample for estimation of peat carbon content.

Abstract

Water is critical limiting resource in the eastern Indonesian province of NTT (NTT). Most people are dependent on subsistence farming and late in the long dry season is the ‘hunger season’. Recent provincial government policy prescribes integrated catchment management to improve the management of natural resources for improved food security and rural livelihoods.

Effective catchment management planning relies on evidence-based decision making. Currently physical data from catchments in NTT are incomplete, unreliable and unprocessed. This project aims to implement and evaluate simple GIS tools in partnership with a local University and NGO staff. These approaches will be tested both in the field and by comparison with analytical methods.

This project will:

1. Investigate the location of high erosion risk in the Kambaniru catchment using Rapid Risk Assessment.

2. Investigate the dominant sources of sediment in the river, using sediment Fingerprinting and Radionuclide Tracing.

3. Evaluate the impacts of land use change on catchment hydrology using the GenRiver model.

4. Calculate the average rate of sedimentation in the Kambinaru Weir by Comparing the original plans for the weir with a new survey of current sediments accumulated in the weir.

Abstract

Five years (JFY2009-2013) project of "Climate Variability Study and Social Application through

Indonesia -Japan "Maritime Continent COE" - Radar - Buoy Network Optimization for Rainfall Prediction"

funded by Science and Technology Research partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPS, PI: Prof.

151 | P a g e

Monsoon AUtomonitoring (HARIMAU)" project funded by "Japan Earth Observation System [EOS] Promotion

Program (JEPP, PI: Prof. M. D. Yamanaka)" during JFY2006-2005.

HARIMAU2006 campaign observation was conducted during the rainy season (November) in 2006 along the

southwestern coastline of Sumatera Island by using two X-band Doppler radars and intensive aerological

soundings in collaboration with "R/V MIRAI Indian Ocean auise for the Study of the MJO-convection

Onset (MISMO, PI: Dr. Kunio Yoneyama)". We have successfully obtained a plenty of valuable dataset to

investigate zonal structure and evolution of the first Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) onset and its

modulation passing over the maritime continent. A number of scientific papers coauthored with Indonesian

scientists (e.g., Mori et al. 2011; Sakurai et al. 2011; Fudeyasu et al. 2011; Kawashima et al. 2011) were

published in Journal of Meteorological Society of Japan (JMSJ) and other international journals regarding the

HARIMAU2006 and MISMO, so far.

Based on the results of previous projects, we newly propose HARIMAU2011 campaign observation as a next

step to focus on scientific and social targets as follows:

1) Synoptic environment conditions which produce a Coastal Heavy Rainband (CHeR) generated along the off

southwestern coastline of Sumatera Island (i.e., over the Mentawai Strait).

2) Multi-scale structures and dynamics of diurnal (nocturnal) convective activities which generate heavy

rainfall over the strait and maintain the CHeR.

3) Role of the interaction between diurnal local circulation and eastward propagating synoptic equatorial

disturbances (MJO/ISV) for generating and maintaining the CHeR.

4) Establish and evaluate the Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE) methodology by using a Multi

Parameter Radar (MPR; see in detail below), and extend these knowledge and skills for young Indonesian

scientists and technicians as capacity development of SATREPS activity.

In addition, the HARIMAU campaign is conducted in collaboration with international scientific projects of "Cooperative Indian Ocean experiment on ISV in Year (CINDY) 2011" and Dynamics of the MJO (DYNAMO).

Abstract

Background

The earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS), LIPI, and colleagues are involved in a number of ongoing scientific and geological hazards-related research projects in Sumatra that require regular, repeated visits to various locations in and near Sumatra. In addition to scheduled visits that are sometimes a few months apart or less, there is a need to respond quickly following large earthquakes, such as the Mentawai earthquake and tsunami of October 2010: after any large earthquake, it is highly desirable that scientists, such as ourselves, visit the region affected very soon after the event, because (a) observable markers that provide crucial information degrade rapidly with time, and (b) we wish to make a forecast for future earthquake hazards as soon as possible after any large earthquake.

For these reasons, we wish to secure year-long (annually renewable) multiple-entry research visas for each EOS scientist who will be making frequent trips to the field or who is likely to be needed in the field following such an event. If these visas can be acquired in advance , then all EOS personnel who might be involved in such work can deploy into affected areas within hours to days following a natural disaster, instead of waiting weeks to months for a research visa to be procured, as has been necessary in the past. In that way, we can avoid delays that can significantly hamper our efforts to understand what has happened and that can limit our ability to forecast what may occur in the future. In addition, it will ease the burden on both the EOS scientist and our LIPI sponsors, for those EOS scientists who need to make frequent trips to the field.

In this proposal, we summarize projects that are anticipated in the coming year. Following the proposal, we attach, as appendices/ supporting material, complete proposals for each project.

Sumatran Tectonic Geodesy

We Propose to investigate 5 aspects of the tectonic behavior of the Sumatran section of the Sunda plate boundary, using Sumatran GPS Array (SuGar) data. (1) what are the slip rates and locking depths of the Sumatran fault? (2) what is the behavior of the megathurst updip of the great 2005 and 2007 ruptures? (3) what is the behavior of the 100-km section of the megathrust between the 2004 and 2005 ruptures? (4) How is the Mentawai patch behaving now, prior to its anticipated great rupture? And (5) what are the long-term post-seismic responses to the recent great Sumatran ruptures? This research involves installation and maintenance of GPS stations.

Abstract

The bioconversion of Palm Kernel Meal (PKM) is a natural process consisting of extracting nutrients residue in this by-product, into a form of insect larvae biomass. This is a new source of animal proteins and fats for aquaculture. The first research in 2005 consisted of investigating the biology of insect. In continuation, the programme aims to the elaboration and evaluation of bioconversion process using firstly fermention and secondly the maggots of p* an insect (Hermetia illucens) in order to elaborate products usable for aquafeed.

Insofar as some problems arise from improvement of fermentation, the proposed approach will take into account both available data about the exist ing spontaneous fermentative processes and innovative concepts in the field of microbial ccophysiology and enzymology.

Then a particular attention w i l l be devoted to the origin of the dominant microflora responsible for spontaneous fermentation, the conditions allowing the development of a benefit microflora. An extension of bioconversion process on other by-products available in Indonesia will be achieved to optimize the conversion rate.

On the other hand, the nutritional qu a l i t y and value out before and after processing will be studied in relation to effects on fish energy and the occurence of growth. Safety and q u a l i t y of products will be attempted to evaluate the risk posed by contaminants found in aquafeed components (absence of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins).

This process is used to transfer the unit to pilot scale and adapted to specific conditions:


157 | P a g e

feasibility of technological transfer to small scale units, low manufacturing cost, cultural aspects...). Finally, the technological approach of the production of aquafeed could be performed either household or small-scale units levels and does not requires expensive equipments.

The research activities are carried out at LRBIHAT Depok (PRPB-BRKP), in BBAT .Iambi (D.IPB, Sumatra).

Abstract

IRD, French research institute for development works on studying fresh water fish biodiversity, which is a considerable commercial interest and often endangered in order to use it for the benefit of a sustainable social and economic development.

This implies acquisition of biological basis for the improvement of fish culture in Indonesia, the enhancement of the

production and propagation of species already domesticated and the evaluation of the aquaculture potential of other

species (diversification) that will be developed through the monitoring of broodstocks and optimization of seedlings

production.

ln accordance with what has already been done since 2005, Jacques SLEMBROUCK will continue to develop

research activities in the field of Life Histories, reproductive biology, broodstock management, induced breeding,

larval rearing, fingerlings production and aquaculture engineering. This will be done on fish already produced,


158 | P a g e

domesticating new species and industrialization of mass production. The species targeted will be either for

consumption like Pangasius or ornamental like Chromobotia macracanthus, Sderopages or Melanotaenia.

• To develop artificial propagation and culture techniques adapted to local conditions for some target species

(i.e. Botia macracanthus);

• To pursue observations on the ontogeny development of Botia macracanthus larvae;

• To further evaluate the requirements for optimal growth of post larval and/or juvenile stages in some species

belonging to Pangasius and Botia genera;

• Evaluation of the potential for aquaculture of Indonesian species

• Evaluation of reproductive biology of Melanotaenia spp. from Papua

• Optimization of reproduction control methods in species already domesticated

• Improvement of broodstock management of Arowana species in recycled water system (distinction between

sexes; optimal size ratio between males and females; environmental parameter that trigger off spawning)

• Evaluation on reproductive and growth performances of Pangasius djambal The research activities are carried

out at LBIHAT-PRPB-BRKP-KKP Depok. For dissemination of the results of the research as to develop large

scale experiments, some activities are realized in BBAT in Jambi and Sukabumi.

Abstract

IRD French research institute for development, study the freshwater fish biodiversity of endangered species or with high implication in aquaculture. This animal production is in continuous growth represent a very important way to answer to the steadily increase of request for human food.

Intensification of aquaculture practises goes together with an increase of pathological problems during different phases of cycle production and fish pathology often represents a bottleneck for aquaculture development. The economical losses and environmental impact induced by mismanagement of fish pathology may be a heavy threat for the aquaculture sustainability.

Fish disease is due by a complex interaction between biological, environmental and socioeconomic factors and a global (holistic) approach is need for understand, identify and manage this factors and their relationship.

Development of a holist approach of fish disease especially by ecopathology - a branch of analytical epidemiology- is proposed in order to expand new IRD collaborative program for ichthyopathology.

• Improvement of descriptive epidemiology of fish diseases and to organize analytical epidemiological surveys (ecopathology).

• Acquiring information on the origin, pathogenicity, diversity and ecology of the most prevalent fish pathogens and development of new diagnostic tools for early detection (with Dr J.C Avarre)

• Planning of a holistic study on the decrease of fish productivity in relation to pathological problems and health practices.

• Knowledge and test the local pharmacopeia as a tool for health care in aquaculture.

• Planning experimental challenge disease test in order to further document the immune-stimulation induced in fish by alternative feed.

• Suggesting improved and sustainable health practices

The research activities are carried out at LRBIHAT Depok (PRPB-BRKP), in BBAT Jambi (DJPB, Sumatra) and BBPBAT Sukabumi (DJPB, West Java).

Abstract

The health of individuals and the health of ecosystems are inextricably linked. Thus understanding the factors affecting the health and survival of individuals is an important component of determining the underlying health and resilience of the environment. The health of both individuals and ecosystems are dependent on homeostasis: the balancing, through continuous interaction and feedback, of the myriad dynamic processes that comprise the integrated system. Various internal and external stressors can have profound adverse effects on system health and the ability to militate against these is dependent on our understanding not just of the nature of these stressors but also on how they interact with the systems as a whole.

One key component in the health of individuals, species and ecosystems are the parasites. On an

individual level parasites can exert an enormous stress on health and viability, draining away valuable

energy gained from hard-earned foodstuffs and adversely affecting many vital systems from immunity to

other infections to reproductive success. This is of particular importance with orangutans which are

already at the upper range of viability with respect to the size-energy continuum able to be supported by

their tropical rainforest habitat. This makes orangutans an important indicator species as they are very

quick to feel the effects of ecosystem disruption that would take longer to become apparent in less

susceptible species.

The debilitating effects of parasites are exacerbated in populations under stress and those with small

population size and low genetic diversity. Whilst orangutans do suffer from small, and rapidly declining,

population sizes, their genetic diversity is only beginning to be studied. Recent work has uncovered some

of the extent of genetic diversity in the two orangutan species but much more work needs to be done in

order to understand the full range and unravel population structures and geographic variation in order to

inform conservation efforts.


162 | P a g e

The importance of host-parasite interactions in shaping ecosystems and individual species is shown by

the profound effect on the evolution of both hosts and parasites. The evolutionary "arms race" between

parasites and their hosts is an important driver in the evolution of both and understanding their recent

evolution will deepen our understanding of population structure and potential future responses as well as

extinction risk.

On the ecosystem level parasites are important and ubiquitous players. Studying parasite dynamics,

species composition and richness gives a great deal of information not only about the state and health of

an ecosystem but of its trajectory. Thus gathering long term data on parasites in numerous sites allows

both longitudinal and horizontal comparisons, meaning we can determine the status of ecosystems both

spatially and temporally and so detect improvements or threats in particular regions of the whole

ecosystem as well as systemic threats to the whole. The long term data gathered will also be of great use in

determining the effects of long-term ecosystem changes such as climate change to orangutans and their

environment.

This project will address all these aspects using a multi-pronged strategy focused on the interaction

between orangutans, parasites and their environment. In particular we plan to examine the dynamics of

host-parasite interactions as an indicator of both orangutan and ecosystem health. In order to do this we

will examine a range of factors:

(1) Parasite prevalence, species richness and intensity in individual orangutans and other primates from

both wild and semi-wild populations in a number of sites throughout their range.

(2) The responses of orangutans and other primates to parasite infection, which includes their self-

medication strategies, i.e. do they use particular plants with medicinal properties to "treat" parasitic

infections.

(3) From this can we discover potential new medicinal compounds by leveraging our knowledge of

orangutan usage of particular plants?

(4) Using parasitology as a non-invasive tool to probe the health of populations and their conservation

status.

(5) Orangutan population structure and recent evolution as a guide to conservation strategies and a

predictor for the response of populations to external and internal stressors.

(6) Diversity, evolution and cross-species comparison of primate parasites, for example identifying

malaria species, prevalence and evolution. Assessing cross-species transmission of parasites and

zoonotic potential between primate species and humans.

Abstract

The Javan gibbon, Hylobates moloch, is endemic to west Java, existing in severely fragmented small populations (Nijman and Balen 1998). Ex situ conservation, namely captive breeding of Javan gibbons is being used as part of an integrated conservation effort to save this species from extinction.

Animals kept in captivity are exposed to unique stressors (Ricklefs and Cadena 2007). If an animal fails to cope with its living conditions it will can become stressed, resulting in a lower life expectancy and reduced reproductive success (Broom and Johnson 1993). In 2010, the Javan Gibbon Global Species Management Programme met, and considered it a matter of urgency that the Indonesian captive population of Javan gibbons are studied (pers comm. Melfi) as there is no evidence of any successful breeding.

Javan zoos and sanctuaries housing Hylobates moloch will be visited during a three month period; expected to be between April-July 2011. A housing and husbandry survey will be completed for each enclosure and in addition information will be sought (either through records or from interviews with staff) about the life histories of the current and previously held gibbons. Regression analysis will be used to investigate which housing and husbandry factors best predict breeding success and longevity. The results from these analyses will be used to create recommendations to promote breeding and long life. Improvements to the captive management of this species will hopefully increase likelihood that it will become self sustaining. Data collected in this study therefore should provide valuable knowledge and information relevant to the global management of this species outside of Indonesian and hopefully facilitate the captive breeding programme

Abstract

Gibbons perform loud/stereotyped songs (Geissmann & Nijmann 2006). The duet is the most common type of vocalisation, performed by mated males and females (Dallmann & Geissmann 2009) and functioning to demonstrate the strength of pair relationships (Geissmann & Nijmann 2006). However, not all gibbon species perform song duets; such as the Silvery gibbon (Hylobates moloch ). It is the female of this species who performs solo songs; in particular the great call (Dallmann & Geissmann 2001). Male II. moloch rarely sing (Geissmann & Nijmann 2006).

The aims of this study arc to: i) identify the stimulus of the song bouts; ii) record behaviours associated with these calls; iii) investigate whether housing conditions are related to variations in vocalization structure and/or type.

Songs of Javan gibbons housed in Indonesian captive institutions will be recorded between 0500 - 1700 hours for several days per location. This will be done using a Beyer Dynamic MCE S6N(C)S directional microphone and Edirol R-09 solid state recorder. The environmental stimulus of a song bout will be discerned at the onset. Scan sampling of the group's behaviour will be carried out at I minute intervals throughout the vocalisation and for 10 minutes afterwards. The activity budget of the group will also be recorded with scan sampling of the group every 30 minutes throughout the day. Housing and husbandry data will be collected by Deeming (2011).

Analysis of the song acoustics will be done using the parameters of call duration, frequency range and the number of notes performed in a phase. Any variation in song acoustics will be investigated in terms of social grouping (pairs, single or families), proximity to visitors and con-specifics and enclosure environment. Age and gender differences between callers will also be analysed.

There are currently no studies demonstrating how the vocal repertoire of Il.moloch varies between captive populations. Analysis of the vocal repertoire will provide a better understanding of the song functions and the effects that current housing and husbandry conditions (listed above) have on captive individuals. These findings can then be used to improve the welfare, longevity and breeding success of the ex situ breeding programmes.

Abstract

Unlike humans, orangutans have the ability to extract nutrients from the fiber content of their diet using hindgut fermentation. This is though to be a critical adaptation, allowing orangutans to survive during the periods of extended low food availability that characterize the rain forest of Borneo where they live. However, little is known about the efficiency of orangutans at extracting nutrients from fiber and how this may vary based on other plant constituents, as well as differences between males and females and juveniles and adults. I propose to investigate these questions by conducting a study of orangutan fiber digestion at Gunung Palung National Park (GPNP) in Indonesian Borneo, working with the Gunung Palung Orangutan Project run by my faculty advisor, Dr. Cheryl Knott. This project will be the first to examine sex differences in the fiber digestion of any wild ape. Although it has been suggested that differences in body size may impact digestive capabilities and passage rates, this factor has never been measured before in the wild and thus has not been accounted for in models of how orangutans meet their energetic requirements during periods of low food availability. Further, because of the paucity of studies performed in the wi ld, we are not sure what role fiber digestion plays in an orangutan’s natural ecological niche. In captivity, the food available to orangutans does not reflect the proportion of fiber the species consumes in the wild. Their diets in captivity are especially low in the fiber fraction, lignin, averaging about 2.5% (Conklin-Brittain, 2006). Wild diets contain 16% lignin with some foods reaching over 41% (Knott, pers com). This lignin portion of fiber is virtually unfermentable (Conklin-Britain, 2006). Although limited studies have looked at fiber digestion in captive orangutans (Schmidt et al. 2005), this disparity in diets provides little understanding for how much energy a wild orangutan is actually obtaining from fiber.

Abstract

This project aims to study ranging and its flexibilities in Pongo pygmaeus morio. the orangutans of E. Kalimantan. New comparisons show morio as the extreme of orangutan adaptation: morio laces the harshest environment and may therefore have distinct morphology, behavior, and life history. Most morio data arc 20-25 years old. however. They arc not good enough verily these distinctions, they suggest other differences, and they represent conditions that may no longer exist because natural disasters and development have since damaged and fragmented much of morio's habitat. New studies of morio arc then needed, and ranging is a good place to start. Orangutan ranging is determined mainly by two resources, fruit and mating partners, but their biology and ecology make it extremely complex. First, orangutans have enormous food needs because of their extremely large size, but they live in forests known for poor, irregular food productivity. Second, their main foods are patchy in lime and space, so their ranging must be flexible. Third orangutans must learn their complex ranging skills but they do so very slowly because they develop extremely slowly. Studying ranging then offers a good view of how orangutans use space and resources, and studying its flexibilities offers insights into how ihcy deal with fluctuations in t he availability of key resources, including those caused by habitat change. In addition lo enhancing our understanding of orangutan biology, ranging studies may contribute to managing morio-huwim conflicts by improving understanding of why and how morio change their ranging patterns and where they cannot. Objectives of this project include reassessing morio ranging and its flexibilities by assessing long-term ranging patterns in normal habitat and. as possible, in extreme (damaged) and unfamiliar habitat. Concepts and methods developed for studying primate spatial cognition will be used as well as standard socio-eeologieal methods. In 2009, aims are to launch the study of morio ranging in ear normal habitat (Kutai National Park), and if possible, in unfamiliar habitat (rehabiliiant orangutans adjusting lo forest life in forest schools or release forests managed by Yayasan BOS. Samboja l.estari).

Peat-Swamp Forest, Borneo Indonesia

Tujuan Penelitian : Membandingkan kepadatan populasi orangutan dan pemilihan sarang di dalam dua hutan dengan tingkat gangguan yang berbeda



Daerah Penelitian : Kalteng (Lab. Alam Hutan Gambut(LAHG)-Sebangau)


Abstract

While rapidly shrinking forests at the hands of developing countries and international demands are the reality for many extant primates, the situation for Indonesia’s “man of the forest”, the orang-utan, is particularly dire. Limited data and impending extinction have necessitated rapid conservation assessments to obtain unknown population densities, distribution, and responses to change so that remaining habitat is adequately protected. Population densities can be estimated from orang-utan nests. However, detailed research on orang-utan nesting behavior is scarce. Nesting behavior, as the most cognitively challenging practice in which orang-utans engage, has the potential to yield insight into unexplored aspects of how orang-utans engage with changing habitats. I will conduct a study over six weeks of orang-utan nesting behavior with the ‘Orangutan Tropical Peatland Research Project’ (OuTrop). OuTrop are based in the Sabangau Peat-swamp forest, home to the largest remaining population of orang-utans, Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii, in the world. Within this population, I will compare orang-utan density and nest site selection in two forests of different disturbance levels, one a protected relic primary forest and the other a heavily degraded and fragmented portion of the former Mega Rice Project. In this later forest, extensive deforestation and the construction of large, peat-draining canals are the source of frequent forest fires each year. The area is also subjected to illegal logging. Knowledge of how these orang-utans cope with such degradation would be enhanced by this comparative analysis of density and nesting behavior. As this is the largest remaining population of orang-utans, their conservation is of particular importance and should not be neglected.

Abstract

Existing evidence suggest significant reproductive variation between orangutans inhabiting the islands of Borneo (Pongo pygmaeus) and Sumatra (P. Abelii). Counter to expectation, orangutans on Borneo have shorter inter-birth intervals (IBI) than those on Sumatra, despite living in less productive forests. To address this, researchers from four field sites on Borneo and Sumatra will collaborate on an intensive study of ecology, energetics, life history, and hormonal physiology in orangutans. In this study, we will test between these competing possibilities by collecting urine samples for hormonal analysis across study sites. Our objectives include: 1) Detailed investigation of the role of energy fluctuations on orangutans through collection of data on activity levels, dietary diversity and ranging patterns 2) Determination of orangutan energetic and social stress levels 3) Cross-population comparisons, focusing on ecological and life history variation across the two orangutan species 4) Detailed investigation of the behavioral ecology of P.pwurmbii 5) Determination of orangutan health status through parasite monitoring of feces and urinary dipstick analysis 6) Determination of orangutan diet using DNA Bar Coding 7) Genetic analysis of fecal samples.

R.8 Monitoring Nitrogen and Energy Balance in Wild Bornean

Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii) in a Peat Swamp

Tujuan Penelitian : mempelajari keseimbangan protein pada orangutan liar Kalimantan dengan mengumpulkan sampel urin serta melakukan pengukuran tingkat nitrogen.



Daerah Penelitian : Kalteng (Stasiun Penelitian Orangutan Tuanan)

Mitra Kerja : Fikty Aprilinayati, S. Si., Fakultas Biologi – Universitas Nasional.

Abstract

Protein is believed to be a significant limiting factor for non-human primates in tropical environments (White, 1998; Milton, 1981; Milton, 1979), as all frugivorous primates supplement their diets with insects and/or leaves, which are high in protein (Conklin-Brittan et al., 1998; Oftedal, 1991; Rothman et al., 2008). Frugivorous primates may suffer a negative protein balance if body protein is mobilized to meet demands caused by low fruit availability. Orangutans may be particularly vulnerable to protein deficiency due to their habitat in which they experience long periods of low fruit availability punctuated by periods of extremely high fruit availability (Sakai et al., 2006). The objective of this research is to study protein balance in wild Bornean orangutans by collecting urine samples from focal individuals and measuring nitrogen levels. Our specific objectives include answering the following questions: Are orangutans at Tuanan energetically stressed during periods of low fruit availability? During periods of fruit scarcity, how much protein must be consumed in order to maintain neutral energy balance? Are orangutans at Tuanan undergoing tissue wasting due to low nitrogen intake? How does protein utilization vary with the availability of preferred ripe fruit? Do the orangutans at Tuanan get enough protein when fruit is low by supplementing their diets with leaves, flowers, and inner-bark? Do orangutans at Tuanan adjust their activity patterns during periods of low nitrogen intake?

This current project will add to the small amount of knowledge known about protein deficiency and protein regulation in wild primates. Protein cycling may occur during low periods of fruit availability when protein balance is negative. To answer the question, “During periods of fruit scarcity, do orangutans experience protein cycling?”, I will conduct full day focal samples, collecting behavioral and ecological data and urine samples. From the urine samples, urea concentration and nitrogen isotope ratios will be measured to determine protein cycling. Our approach involves the participation and training of local Indonesian scientists, students, and local assistants in the process of empirical measurement. We anticipate publishing our results in international scientific journals and presenting our results at scientific conferences.

Abstract

Social dominance is a strong predictor of high reproductive success in many group-living male primates. This project therefore to determine the factors that allow males to achieve and maintain high dominance rank in a species in which tie highest ranking males presumably sire the vast amount of offspring. The study will be carried out in four groups cf a wild population of Sulawesi crested black macaques (Macaca nigra) in the Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve. North Sulawesi. Indonesia. The following questions will be addressed: (1) How do male individual features, such as age, body size, androgen status, canine conditions, characteristics of male secondary sexual signals (loud calls, sex skin coloration), and personality affect a male's dominance rank? (2) How is the dominance rank influenced by male coalition partners? (3) How important is female support for males to achieve and maintain high rank? (4) How stable are male hierarchies over time? Answering these questions will allow us to better understand how males gain and maintain their dominance rank, and hence, at least for the highest ranking males, presumably achieve high reproductive success. The study will be part of the broader Macaca Nigra Project, run by the German Primate Centre (DPZ), Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) and the University Sam Ratulangi (UNSRAT). It will be supported by a study on male-female relationships in Macaca nigra carried out by a PhD student from IPB.

Abstract

This study concerns the growing problem of crop raiding in subsistence farming communities bordering a protected area and will examine conflict issues in relation to habitat degradation and fragmentation, wild food availability and competition for forest resources, with conservation of a vulnerable 'flagship' species at its core. Predicting behavioural responses and survival probabilities for populations of threatened endemic species in human-dominated and changing environments are global concerns facing many primatologists. This problem is particularly acute for the Buton macaque (Macaca ochreata brunnescens), which is endemic to Buton Island, southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study aims to investigate wild versus cultivated food choice, which is essential for ensuring the survival of the Buton macaque in this agroforest ecotone. The ecological determinants of crop raiding will be studied over an 18-month period, to assess feeding ecology in relation to forest phenology. Human-wildlife conflict, particularly crop-raiding by wildlife. is an increasingly important issue for social and natural scientists in the 21st Century. The results of this PhD study will be used directly to support conservation efforts for the Buton macaque and to benefit the people of Buton.

Abstract

In order to survive in a complex tropical environment, orangutans must cope with an unpredictable spatial and temporal distribution of food sources. The objective of this study is to examine foraging efficiency in wild orangutans by applying concepts from the Optimal Foraging Theory (OFT) to foraging and travel behavior in wild Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii). Orangutans are an ideal species for testing principles derived from optimal foraging theory because they are often solitary and foraging decisions are unlikely to be influenced by other individuals. We will initially examine simple questions regarding orangutan foraging efficiency including: Is there a relationship between species profitability and preference? Are fruits more preferred relative to non-fruit items? Is there a relationship between feeding bout length and food item type? Is there a relationship between foraging efficiency and food item type? We will study 35 habituated individuals at the Tuanan Research Station from April 2010-March 2011 located in the MAWAS Reserve, Central Kalimantan. This study is part of the long-term research project that has been conducted at Tuanan by Dr. Erin Vogel in collaboration with Dr. Carel van Schaik, Tatang Mitra Setia, and Dr. Suci Utami-Atmoko. We will use a combination of methods including full-day focal follows, fruit sample collection, processing, and nutritional analyses (conducted by LIPI in Indonesia), GPS mapping of daily routes, and computer modeling.

It has been demonstrated that ecologically naive ex-captive orangutans struggle with identifying suitable food items upon release into their natural habitat (Russon 2003). Our study will provide crucial information on the role that diet optimization (nutrition) and cognition play in diet selection in wild orangutans, which can then be applied to help shape reintroduction efforts currently underway. We will also identify which food resources are most preferred by wild orangutans, providing valuable information on which tree species should be planted during reforestation efforts by BOS-F personnel. Finally, our approach involves the participation and training of local Indonesian scientists, students, and local assistants in the process of empirical measurement. We anticipate on publishing our results in international scientific journals and presenting our results at scientific conferences, Universitas Nasional Jakarta, and BOS-MAWAS Palangkaraya.

Abstract

The aims of the project are to investigate i) the influence of food resource characteristics on the mode of feeding competition and its social consequences, ii) how seasonality in the habitat affects seasonality in reproduction, and ni) how nutritional and social conditions affects physiological stress levels in a natural population of Siberut macaques (Macaco siberu) living endemically on Siberut.

The investigation of ecological conditions and their consequences for physiological stress and social relationships will help to test parts of current theoretical models about the evolution of social relationships. The project will generate important basic data on the ecological needs of an endangered primate species that may guide future conservation efforts, e.g. in terms of habitat requirements and food preferences. By analyzing the interaction of social and environmental stressors the study will aid in defining conditions necessary for the well-being and successful reproduction of Siberut macaques.

Abstract


174 | P a g e

Knowledge about a species reproductive biology is essential for our understanding of a species role within a

given ecosystem and its effective conservation. In primates, as in many other mammals, individual reproductive

output varies particularly between males and highly depends on individual reproductive strategies. The most

common reproductive strategy of dominant males in multi-male multi-female groups is to mate guard females

during their period of fertility. While mate guarding behaviour has been proven to increase mating and

reproductive success of males in these primate groups, little is known about the cost and limitation of this

behaviour.

A recent study on Macaca fascicularis demonstrated that, even without any overlap in female fertile phases, the

alpha male does not mate guaid all females during their fertile phase and does thus not sire all of the offspring,

contrarily to what is predicted by the priority of access model. Foraging activity reduction, increase in stress level

and protein loss, negative energetic balance and weight loss are some of the potential costs of mate guarding and

might lesser his effectiveness and even prevent males from mate guarding a female. Although some primate studies

already measured some of the potential costs incurred from mate guarding (mainly impact on foraging activity),

none of them has ever investigated overall costs of mate guarding.

In this project, therefore, we want to investigate and measure the different costs arsing from mate guarding in

male M. fascicularis. We also want to investigate the trade-off between foraging activity and mating success, as

well as costs and benefits of different reproductive strategies (mate guarding and opportunistic mating).

This study is divided into two parts: the field phase will be carried out at the Ketambe Research Station,

North Sumatra, Indonesia and will include: 1) monitoring of alpha and beta males activity and social

interactions, .2) estimation of males travelling distance as a measure of energy expenditure, 3) collection of urine

and feacal samples for hormone and protein analyses as well as geneticpaternity tests to assess reproductive

success and 4) weighing animals to determine weight loss.

Analysis will subsequently take place at the German Primaie Centre. This study will provide important information

about the reproductive biology of long-tailed macaques, which has so far not been gathered under natural

conditions.

Abstract

This research project aims to assess the impact of human-primate commensalisms on the behavioural ecology and the long term viability of some primates. To achieve this objective, we use as species model, the long-tailed macaque (macaca fascicularis), a primate species widespread throughout Southeast Asia [1,2] and exploiting a wide diversity of habitats characterized by various degrees of commensalisms with human, from primary forests to urban environments [3,4,5]. We use an interpopulational comparative approach by comparing 4 populations of macaca fascicularis submitted to various degrees of anthropic pressures on the island of Bali. With this approach, we will control multiple anthropic and environmental factors for a more complete understanding of the commensalisms impact. In behavioural ecology, we focus on the activity budget, the feeding ecology, the demography and population dynamics and the ranging behaviour. These various parameters are investigated and then compared between the four populations. We chose to investigate this question in Bali because this Island is a particulary appropriate site for an interpopulational comparative study, given the diversity of its ecosystems and landscape, the extent of commensalisms, and the high density of long-tailed macaques (8-10,000) notably around temples [6].

Abstract

Recent research conducted at various wild orangutan sites has investigated a myriad of questions related to

orangutan diets, ranging from studies of feeding behavior and energetics (e.g. Knott 1998, Harrison 2009) to

studies investigating the process by which orangutans acquire their diets (e.g. Jaeggi et al. 2008, Bastian et al. in

review). One problem frequently encountered in such studies is how to accurately identify individual orangutan

food species within a site. Another even more difficult task is how to accurately compare orangutan food species

eaten at one site with species eaten at a different site. The first major aim of the study is to examine orangutan

feeding behavior and orangutan foods, focusing on the accurate identification of plant species consumed by

individual orangutans followed at Gunung Palung, and will utilize the new morphotype-based system of

botanical identification recently initiated at the Cabang Panti research site. The second major aim of the study is

to start a collection of orangutan food samples that will be processed and preserved for later nutritional analyses

included in the approved proposal entitled Understanding the Role of Orangutan Reproduction: A Cross-Site

Comparison. My research will be conducted in close collaboration with and under the direction of Dr. Cheryl

Knott and Dr. Meredith Bastian. This short-term study, rather than attempting to evaluate the strength of

competing hypotheses, will provide some of the critical botanical tools required to eventually distinguish

between hypotheses related to orangutan energetic condition.

Abstract

In the last 50 years, the island of Borneo has lost over 56% of its lowland rainforest and is currently losing more than 1.2 million hectares annually to deforestation. Conservation strategies for threatened biodiversity are therefore rapidly required to ensure its long term survival. Pre-requisites, such as home-range requirements and resource competition are vital for informing such actions. However, studies of the maroon langur, Presbytis rubicunda-an endemic to Borneo-have thus far yielded published results at only three sites. An ecological study of P. rubicunda has not been conducted in almost 25 years, and populations whose ranges are restricted to peat swamp forest have never been studied. P. rubicunda is currently listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. However, the extreme level of deforestation of both peat swamp forests and lowland forest in general; the lack of data available on the species and the fact that the category of Endangered being assigned to its better-studied sympatric primate species due to rapid habitat loss (orang-utans and gibbons) is impetus for reassessing its status. Currently, long-term bahavioural ecology projects of Bornean orangutans and southearn gibbons are ongoing in the Natural Laboratory for the Study of Peat-swamp Forest (LAHG), Sabangau Forest under The Center for International Cooperation in Sustainable Management of Tropical Peatland (CIMTROP) based at the University of Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan. A research project began in October 2009 to assess density estimates, conservation status, and behavioural and feeding ecology P. rubicunda in the Sebangau Forest. This project intends to compliment that study by investigating home-range and habitat use P. rubicunda in the Sabangau peat-swamp forest. It also aims to investigate home-range and resource overlap and competition between P. rubicunda and the sympatric P. pygmaeus and H. albibarbis to assess coping strategies of three sympatric primates in a disturbed forest.

Abstract

I plan to examine the interactions between humans and proboscis monkeys (Nasalis Larvatus) in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, in order to assess effective conservation strategies.Conservation management strategies often vary in their level of interaction with local people; therefore, influencing bith the acceptance of the project with the local people and the amount of wildlife protection that actually ensues. I will focus on four different conservation strategies: national parks, integrated conservation and development projects (represented as an acotourism project), Reduced Emissions through Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) strategies, and no conservation strategies. Using four sites in West Kalimantan, I will assess how different conservation strategies influence the local perception on a primate species, how local views of conservation strategies influence human actions and what effect these actions have on proboscis monkey behavior. I will address my hypotheses by sampling the human populations in four communities, collecting census data on the proboscis monkeys, and collecting ecological data. The project will take place from October 15th, 2010 to October 15th, 2011. This project hopes to enhance the knowledge of the conservation of the proboscis monkeys, and enhance the conservation of many endangered species and areas in Indonesia.

Abstract

Ranging and dispersal are integral to a species’ social and mating systems, and their study is important for understanding the costs, benefits and evolution of these systems, but our knowledge of these behaviours in male orang-utans is poor, owing to their very large home ranges. Working in the Sabangau peat-swamp forest, I am collecting data on ranging and dispersal of male orang-utans in a large, unfragmented habitat. Working from seven different sub-sites, I search for and follow orang-utans throughout a 10,000 ha area of unbroken forest, which is about times larger than in any previous orang-utan study, mapping individual ranging data using GIS. I also plan to collect genetic samples to assess relatedness between males and females throughout the area, therefore anabling assessment of male dispersal from natal ranges. The huge size of this study area, plus the incorporation of genotyping technology, will enable me to address a number of question relating to male dispersal and ranging (over short, medium and long distances), crucial for understanding the machanics of the orang-utan mating system.

This tentative final report falls at the end of the first year of my two-year fieldwork period in which to collect the data necessary to answer my research questions. Thus far I have overcome the logistical challenges of following known orang-utans through the peat-swamp forest at a significant distance from the research camp, and have succeeded in finding and identifying unhabituated orang-utans at remote sites. The progress of my team so far leaves me confident that we will acquire an adequate data set to answer the research questions of this project, at the end of the second year of field-work in 2012.

Abstract

This study will conduct a comparative examination of the relation between traditional and modern medicine both in rural and urban areas in Indonesia focusing on a case of traditional birth attendants (TBA) in rural area in Java.

When Indonesian government began substantial initiatives in primary health care system including the integrated family planning and health post (posyandu) system in late 1970s[van de Walle, 1994] TBAs were involved into family planning program to promote the concept of it to women in villages. This involvement succeeded in some part, but in other part there were still some TBAs who didn’t accepted it because of its inconsistence with their traditional perception.

With above mentioned situation as a background, I will 1) examine what changes happened with TBAs through the sequence of development program focusing on influence of Family Planning Program and TBA training program, 2) clarify the perception and the decision making way of local people in choosing medical service in childbirth by focusing on a relationship between patients and healers built on daily interaction, and 3) clarify the relationship between TBAs and other public groups/organizations dealing with the childbirth and maternal health issues at both the village and national levels. I will choose Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Province as research field to conduct comparative study to Yogyakarta City. In the research field, I will mainly conduct participant observations and interviews to informants for approximately one year. To clarify the relationship among official agencies/organizations surrounding TBAs, data gathering in those agencies/organizations will also be undertaken.

Abstract

The thesis aims to analyse how religious expression and belief has been affected by the activities of religious and cultural organisations who have worked in the public sphere since the end of Suharto’s New Order in 1998, and how this dialogue has shifted the forms through which religious identity and religiosity are expressed in urban Java.

Moreover, it asks how such movements have evolved since 1998 and adapted to new forms of global communication tools (such as the internet) as well as networks, and how this evolution has affected both perceptions of ‘the public sphere’ as well as where the borders of such a sphere lie.

Abstract

I am studying the effects of urbanization in south east Asia today. As T.G. McGee et al. have cited, urbanization is progressing rapidly, especially around capital cities. In Indonesia, Konagaya Kazuyuki has described how industrial estates and new towns are the most important factors leading to the development of urbanization. His research, however, was done in the 1990s when this kind of construction was just being initiated. So I want to research urbanization related with industrial estates and new towns around Jakarta, especially Kota LIPPO CIKARANG and Kota JABABEKA in Bekasi after the year 2000. It is important for urban planning to clearly grasp the distribution of these districts and migration in terms of this kind of urbanization.

This research has three aims:

1. To understand the level of urbanization of Jabotabek Area from the BPS (Badan Pusat Statistik) statistics data. 2. To understand the distribution and relations of industrial estates, new towns, urban villages (Kampung) and villages in Kota LIPPO CIKARANG and Kota JABABEKA, Bekasi. 3. To survey migrants in Kota LIPPO CIKARANG and Kota JABABEKA; where they come from, where they live and to survey their daily life. To get this data, I will conduct interviews and questionnaires.

Abstract

Producing products of basaltic to basaltic andesitic composition, has known several small explosive eruptions in the 19th century, as well as two large explosive eruptions (up to VEI 5) in 1963, producing deadly pyroclastic flows. Apart from the historical reports of these eruptions, the eruptive history of Agung is poorly known. Between mid-2007 and early 2009 inflation has been reported at Agung based on InSAR data, suggesting a maximum line-of-sight displacement of on average 8.4 cm/yr. The proposed research will aim to reconstruct the eruptive history of Agung over recent millennia based on reconnaissance of its stratigraphy. This work will enable to assess the eruptive frequency and magnitude of eruptions at Agung. A field mission in several phases is proposed between August and November 2011 for a total duration of 2 to 3 months, focusing on the evaluation of typical activity style at Agung.

Abstract

The Study to delineate recharge area of spring and to quantify the recharge rate on the East versant of Merapi volcano (Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia).

Water is renewal natural resources with important roles in water supply for various needs. The vital role of water means that the utilization has to consider its balance and sustainability, in another word, environment friendly. Nowadays, groundwater as one of water resources is a national problem which needs a real action to minimize the negative impact of groundwater exploitation. Groundwater management has to be applied wisely in accordance to law and technical aspects of groundwater knowledge. Activities such as inventory, utilization rules, permission, control, and supervision should be included in the management of groundwater, in order to achieve Sustainable Groundwater Use in Indonesia and in particular in Central Java. To sustain the use of groundwater, stakeholders (i.e. groundwater resources users) have an obligation to understand the basic knowledge of groundwater, their characteristic and how to protect the sources of groundwater. Managers and users, with this understanding should not act against groundwater characteristic, to protect the groundwater to be utilized accordance to its function, economic values, and the environment.

In order to protect the sustainable use of groundwater in the East versant of Merapi volcano (Java), UGM (Yogyakarta, Indonesia) and Paris 6 University (France) promote an investigation to conduct an integrated geological survey, including topographic mapping, hydrology research, hydrogeology research, geo-electricity research, and Hydro-isotope research on this groundwater resources site. This study will be make during a phD program of a French student. Results of this survey should give important knowledge of hydrogeology condition, especially the delineation of the sources recharge area and the information about the infiltration rate of water on this recharge zone and the protection plan.

Abstract

The Indonesian island of Sulawesi is a globally important hotspot of avian endemism, yet Sulawesi’s birds have received little formal study. Indeed, several avian taxa still unknown to science have been reported in the Lore Lindu and Lake Matano areas in central Sulawesi (Sultengand Sulsel). These taxa, for all of which specimens are unavailable, include a new flycatcher presumably of the genus Muscicapa, a Ninox owl that may either be a new race of N. ios or an undescribed species, a new thrush tentatively reffered to the Turdus poliocephalus complex, a new white-eye probably of the Zosterops atrifrons complex, and one or more new taxa of the cardueline finch Serinus estherae complex. Further ornithological exploration of montane central Sulawesi will almost certainly result in discoveries and descriptions of new species. We hypothesize that the montane avifauna of central Sulawesi has a distinctive composition from that of Sulawesi’s other mountain ranges. We will test this hypothesis with field work involving intensive field surveys, extensive vouchered audio recording, and morphological analysis via collected specimens caught by mist netting. Specimen collections will be conducted under the supervision of the Research Centre for Biology (RCB) and will be deposited as scientific collections at the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense. Our integrative approach, that unites morphology and bioacoustics, will provide critical new data on the sysmatics and ecology of these poorly known species. Description of new taxa and new fundamental information on Sulawesi’s montane birds will help direct conservation effort, which is fast becoming critical in this region of rapid habitat loss.

Abstract

In the proposed project I aim to (i) measure the consequences for pest control of fungtional diversity changes in local insectivorous bat ensembles driven by anthropogenic land-use associated with coffee agriculture: (ii) recognize the recipient habitats to consumption subsidies of different species in local ensembles: (iii) to increase local farmers' recognition of bats in their landsby evaluation of the potential value of bat-discarded beans.

!n addressing the first objective, first, I w i l l determine how level of coffee agriculture intensity alters bat assemblage structure. If assemblage structures change with different land use intensity levels, the diversity and intensity of top-down control may also be altered. Then I will determine how functional diversity of insectivorous ensembles shapes their top-down control effects. I hypothesize that the functional diversity of insectivorous bat ensembles varies between habitats with different management strategies, and predict that the strength of top-down effects by local ensembles increases linearly with functional diversity, in accord with the Redundant Species Hypothesis (Snyder 2005). My ultimate purpose is to provide scientifically-supported statements about how changes in functional diversity driven by anthropogenic land-use can affect the ecological services provided by insectivorous bats.

To achieve the second objective. I will identify to which habitat types in a forest-coffee agriculture landscape that cave-roosting species subsidize from roosts within forest. I follow Kingston (20011 to hypothesize thai species with different foraging strategies commute differently from day roost to foraging sue in terms of distance, anil, therefore, different habitat types. I predict that (i) open-space frugivorous / nectarivorous cave species can forage far from roosts within forest to surrounding coffee plantations whore support more abundant and stable food resources than forest; 2) open-space and edge/gap insectivorous species can forage in a wider range w h i c h may cover both forests and coffee plantations;


187 | P a g e

and 3) narrow-space insectivorous species can forage in a limited range which may only cover habitats closed to their roost, the forest. The goal is to help local coffee famers to recognize the value of the adjacent protected area that houses biodiversity that providing ecological and economic services to their lands.

To answer the third question, I w i l l measure bats' use of coffee plantations and demonstrate consumption of coffee berries by fruit bats at first. Then I will quantify the amount of coffee beans discarded by bats and evaluate the potential economic value of bat-discarded beans To understand changes of local farmers' attitudes toward bats, I will interview with farmers to quantify their awareness and acceptance of fruit bats, bats' consumption of coffee berries, the ecological functions they provided, and bat-discarded bean before and after the project. I aim to use the results to benefit farmers directly by increasing income and to reduce human-wildlife conflicts in the study area by developing a new value-added coffee product.

Abstract

Tomistoma schlegelii (Muller, 1838) otherwise known as Tomistoma, False Gharial or Sunda Gharial is one of the largest and least known crocodilian species. Due to its secretive lifestyle many aspects of the basic ecology of this crocodile still remain undocumented.

The main natural habitat of Tomistoma is peat swamp forest, and its adjacent wetlands (Stuebing et al. 2006). Conversion into agricultural land, illegal logging and forest fires lead to habitat loss and fragmentation being one of the most serious threats to the long-term survival of the species (Auliya et al. 2006, Stuebing et al. 2006), although its cryptic colouration and behavior have made productive surveys


188 | P a g e

extremely difficult. Along with the decrease in availability of potential nesting grounds and habitat, isolation of small populations may prevent gene flow, leaving them vulnerable to demographic and environmental stochasticity (Stuebing et al. 2006).

However, since so little is known of Tomistoma in the wild, many of these conclusions remain speculative.

The current geographical distribution of Tomistoma is limited to Indonesia (East Sumatra, West Java and Kalimantan), Malaysia (Sarawak) and Brunei (Stuebing et al. 2006). The species appears to be extinct in Thailand.

Tomistoma schlegelii is classified as ‘Endangered’ in the IUCNRed List. The species is also listed under CITES Appendix I, Appendix A of the European Union Endangered Species Act and protected by the US Endangered Species Act and Indonesian and Malaysian laws.

Population studies to date (Muin and Ramono, 1994, Bezuijen et al. 1997, 2002, 2004, Kurniati et al. 2005, Auliya et al. 2006, Cox, 2006) have mainly provided data on the population locations, sizes of the few individuals caught, and some information on the location and season of nesting. However, little is still known about the basic ecology and behavior of the species, especially its diet, which could provide better understanding of the habitat use and show any possible effects this factor may have on the present and future conservation status of the species. The only account of Tomistoma diet to date was provided by Bezuijen et al. (1997) who reported that despite its moderate physical similarityto the fish-eating Indian Gharial (Gavialis gangeticus), Tomistomas on Sumatrahave been found to have a much broader diet including relatively large mammals, reptiles and birds as well as small invertebrates. Anecdotal reports of Tomistoma preying on swimming primates also seem to suggest the species may be an opportunistic and generalist feeder (Yeager, 1991, Rachmawan and Brend, 2009).

This project arises from the demonstrated need for comprehensive, quantitative studies on Tomistoma diet, as well as to resolve uncertainties surrounding the species abundance and status, derived from preliminary surveys of Tomistoma populations in Mesangat Lake and Mahakam River region in East Kalimantan (Muin and Ramono, 1994, Kurniati et al. 2005).

Objectives

The main goal of the project is to examine the feeding ecology and home range/movements of a Tomistoma Sclegelii population within its natural habitat in the Mesangat Lake and adjacent swampland. Such information is indispensable for the long-term conservation management of the species in balance with the local plantations.

Specific aims:

(1) Collect basic information on the population size, structure and possible seasonal movements of Tomistoma and investigate their causes (nest site preferences) and the possible importance of the Mesangat population to the overall ecology of the area;

(2) Observe and analyse the components/target animals of the diet of wild Tomistoma, to determine whether the species is an opportunistic forager, and if so, whether the animals are obligate (as a result of low density, unpredictable prey availability), facultative or seasonal opportunists;

(3) Based on the information gathered, re-assess existing/potential threats to the long-term survival of the species;

(4) Contribute to the production of an IUCN/SSC – Crocodile Specialist Group approved conservation management plan for the area, as well as the knowledge of the basic ecology of the species applicable to other areas of Kalimantan where it occurs.

Abstract

There is substantial need for large-scale vertebrate biotic survey work in Indonesia, including on the

islands of Nusa Tenggara. The current document is submitted as part of our request for permits to perform

biodiversity inventory work in Jabar, Bali, NTB, NTT, and Maluku. Most of our team will plan on working

for a 9-week period (between June 21 and August 30, 2011), with three students proposing to stay on for

an additional two months. During the 9-week interval during which our larger team will be working, we

hope to intensively sample nonprotected amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. During the extra two-

month interval, a subset of our team will work in Maluku Province, with the goal of sampling amphibians

and reptiles only of the Kai, Aru, and Tanimbar Island groups. We have conducted extensive prior

herpetological fieldwork on Sulawesi, Sumatra, the Kepulauan Mentawai, and the islands of Lombok,

Sumbawa, and Flores in NTB. This expedition will extend this prior work, while also providing

preliminary data for our new field program in the Lesser Sunda Islands. We have made substantial

progress documenting herpetological diversity on Sulawesi, Sumatra, and the Mentawai Islands including

the discover}' of many new species. We have made one expedition to Sulawesi during which we also

sampled birds and mammals in collaboration with LIPI scientists with good success. Continued mammal

and bird inventor}' work is essential as the vast majority of species are data deficient in terms of their

geographic ranges, and samples are entirely unavailable for the vast majority of species for

biogeographical, phylogenetic, and population genetics research. Furthermore, many undescribed species

most certainly await discovery, especially among small mammals. Our field team will include myself, a

postdoctoral fellow (Jerome Fuchs), three Berkeley graduate and undergraduate students, Dr. Djoko T.

Iskandar, several Indonesian undergraduate and graduate students based at the Bandung Institute of

U.6 Towards a Peaceful Coexistence Between Men and Elephants in

Bukit Tigapuluh, Indonesia (Phase 1)”

Tujuan Penelitian : mengumpulkan data kualitatif dan kuantitatif guna mengkaji tingkat konflik antara manusia dengan gajah dan menganalisis konteks konflik yang terjadi


Perpanjangan Penelitian : 12 (dua belas) bulan, mulai bulan Januari 2011

Daerah Penelitian : Jambi (TN Bukit Tiga Puluh); Provinsi Riau dan Jambi (Ekosistem Bukit Tiga Puluh di Kab. Tebo, Kab. Tanjabar, Kab. Indragiri Hilir dan Indragiri Hulu dan Area Konsesi PT Tebo Multi Agro)

Abstract

In the Bukit Tiga puluh forest, Sumatra (Indonesia), about 4000 people live in the immediate vicinity to elephants. Crop raiding by elephants occur frequently and as a result elephants have been poisoned by upset locals. During the last year(2009), an increasing number of serious incident were recorded in which elephants have entered small settlements, destroyed homes and even killed and injured people. Against this background it is likely that human-elephant conflicts (HEC) will escalate in the near future, if nothing changes. The project goals address these issues, as they aim at (a) developing and testing site-specific conflict mitigation techniques and strategies and (b) promoting and supporting their implementation. During the first phase (year 2010) outlined in this proposal, a comprehensive study on HEC will be conducted to provide the necessary in-depth understanding of HEC in order to elaborate an adequate roadmap to achieve the project goals in an effective and cost-efficient manner. Two HEC investigation teams will be established in order to conduct a questionnaire survey and in addition to thoroughly investigate all HEC incidents. Their main tasks will be to interview household representatives, farmers affected by HEC, agricultural company representatives and local authorities and to assess damages and crop-losses caused by elephants. The identity and age-class of “problem-elephants” will be investigated by measuring dung-sizes and by sampling a portion of dung left behind to later genetically determine the elephant’s genotype and sex. A monitoring system will be established that provides continuously updated information about HEC for police and the forest department in order to enhance the investigation of illegal activities such as the killing of elephants. Weekend-workshops will be held to sensitize the local population to HEC and conservation issues and to introduce and support easy-to-apply conflict mitigation


192 | P a g e

techniques, inter alia, building watchtowers and organizing crop-guarding systems. The expected outcome of phase I will be a decrease in the illegal killing of elephants. This would be achieved by the on-site presence of our investigation teams and the increasing risk of being prosecuted by police and forest department officers. We also expect a decrease in crop raiding and serious HEC incidents, as farmers will be encouraged and supported in applying low-cost crop protection methods and easy-to-apply conflict mitigation techniques developed elsewhere. The data and experience gathered during phase I will allow us to developed powerful site-specific HEC mitigation strategies and techniques, which will be implemented in phase 2 of the project.

Abstract

To conserve animal species in the most threatened and least known parts of our planet, efficient survey methods are required in terms of detecting species richness and measuring abundance. The recent completion of an acoustic database of the echolocation sounds of bats in south-east Asia has made it possible to test survey methods in different locations of this relatively unexplored part of the world. We here present an acoustic survey method for assessing bat-populations that can be used in conjunction with other methods and is likely to yield most species and least variability in numbers under minimal time investment. We argue that low detection probability of bats is bound to cause undersampling during surveys and provide guidelines as to how to counteract this negative bias.

Our planet may be facing a mass extinction event (ref) which makes the impact of human activities on animal populations through climate change or destruction of habitats a widely discussed and investigated phenomenon (ref). Substantiating previous claims by assessing animal populations is thus important. Assessing animal populations accurately will also become more important as human populations in most parts of the world will keep on growing and keep encroaching on the last existing nature reserves. Future information required will often pertain to the amount of habitat modification each species is still able to


193 | P a g e

tolerate to maintain a viable population. To provide such information, biologists will have to gather more detailed information than just species lists. As the tropical zone comprises xx% of all animal species on our planet while its existence is probably most threatened of all areas in the world, the need of methods to accurately monitor species diversity and even abundance accurately is most acute in the tropics.

In this study we tried to develop an acoustic method for assessing bat diversity and abundance accurately in tropical environments while taking place over the shortest possible amount of time. To this aim, we chose three locations in Indonesia, a region that has one of the highest bat diversities in the world (ref). Acoustic surveys have a large number of advantages over conventional trapping, disturbance, having made it the method of choice in surveys of birds, frogs and insects in many parts of the world (ref). Bats are a speciose group belonging to the more sensitive animals close to the top of the food chain. Using bats as habitat indicators also has the advantage of the abundance of each bat species potentially revealing a different problem in the habitat. Some bats use tunnels in dense vegetation where they may scan the ground, only flying 30cm above the ground. Other bats may need an open sub-canopy space to hunt insects, whereas others may scan for prey by hanging from a tree. The food, required vegetation structure, home-range and many other factors are extremely species-dependent in bats. This relationship is so strong that an experienced biologist may be able to describe the(micro-) habitat where a study was carried out on the basis of the species composition only. Bats as a group are thus a powerful indicator of 'how different habitats are doing' within a big rainforest.

Usually, biological assessments are under time constraints and in practice most cannot last longer than 3 weeks (ref). During this time a certain large forest area is usually investigated. Computer programs such as Presence may invite the biologist to divide the forest into many random sampling points that can later be compared to other areas. In this paper, we follow a radically different approach as we feel that the low detection probability of some species, combined with time constraints, ask for a method that optimises time spent in confined areas of a forest. We offer a large number of guidelines to be followed to carry out acoustic surveys on bats in the tropics with the main aim of detecting as many species as possible in the shortest amount of time. We believe that such protocols are necessary to detect species that would otherwise be missed or turn up in so few plots that their incidence would have little statistical value.
