Establishment of a Captive All-male Group of Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus) at the Singapore Zoo

Proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is an endemic animal of Borneo including protected primate species as an endangered species status. This species listed as an endangered species caused by large population decline and habitat demage continues to threaten the proboscis population. This research was conducted in Taman Wisata Alam Tanjung Belimbing (TWATB) is a nature conservation area that supports the conservation of proboscis monkey. The purpose of this research is to collect the amount of proboscis monkey populations, so as to provide an overview of conservation efforts that must be carried out. The method was used the River Survey method. The result of Proboscis research based on the age level was found consisted average of 5 adult male individuals, 6 adult female individuals, 7 adolescent individuals and 5 childs. Estimation of the population is calculated using the King’s Method. Estimated individuals population is 12 individuals with a density of 25.5 individuals/km2.Keywords: Proboscis monkey, Population, Tanjung Belimbing, Paloh.

The Village

Essensial Ecosystem Areas in general can be interpreted as protected areas outside conservation areas. In Panjaratan Village, it is found an area that is a habitat for proboscis monkeys and other animals according to the results of the inventory but is outside the conservation forest area. The existence of proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) habitat in Panjaratan Village needs to supported in conservation so that it does not experience extinction due to interference for human activities. This study aims to provide recommendations in planning the determination of essential ecosystem areas for the Nasalis larvatus habitat in Panjaratan Village. This research was qualitative by using an emic approach that focuses on data and analysis based on answers from key informant. The results showed that the presence of Nasalis larvatus habitat in Panjaratan Village received support from the community, government and the private sector in its empowerment activities. This is supported by the existence of an inventory and verification of the presence of Nasalis larvatus habitat in Panjaratan Village conducted by the South Kalimantan Natural Resource Conservation team and through identification activities to then propose the Nasalis larvatus habitat area in the village to become an area of essential ecosystem areas.
