Abstract Background: Thelazia callipaeda is a zoonotic parasitic nematode of the family Thelaziidae, with Phortica okadai as the intermediate host and the only confirmed vector in China. China has the largest number of cases of thelaziosis in humans of the world. It is generally believed that domestic animals (dogs and cats) are the most important reservoir hosts of Thelazia callipaeda and directly threaten humans. At present, there is not much research and attention on the role of wildlife in the transmission cycle of thelaziosis in wildlife nature reserves.Methods: During 2016-2019, we selected four wildlife national nature reserve across the country as monitoring points for Phortica okadai and wildlife, and we chose to use fly-trap method for monitoring Phortica okadai density. Morphological analysis of the parasites collected from the conjunctival sac of the wildlife was taken as the first step, and a specific PCR was used for exact confirmation.Results: In 2019, the density of Phortica okadai in Foping National Nature Reserve of China, increased sharply and infected Phortica okadai were newly found in wildlife nature reserves. Wild giant panda, wild boar, leopard cat, and black bear were newly found to be infected by Thelazia callipaeda (one animal of each species). A total of four worms were collected and one worm was collected from each animals. The morphologic characteristics of the four worms led to their identification as Thelazia callipaeda, which was molecularly confirmed by a specific PCR amplification.Conclusions: This is the first report of Phortica okadai as well as a variety of wildlife including wild giant panda infected by Thelazia callipaeda in wildlife nature reserves in China. This indicates that there has been a transmission cycle of thelaziosis among wildlife in wildlife nature reserves. The increasing number of case reports in wildlife suggests the likely risk of infection of Thelazia callipaeda in villagers around wildlife nature reserves.

This article highlights the dynamics of geothermal energy in the Kamojang nature reserve in Indonesia. A nature reserve is a conservation area that must be protected and preserved, because it has unique flora and fauna, and rare ecosystems whose existence is threatened with extinction. After going through a long study process by an integrated team, the government finally made a policy to change the function of the nature reserve into a Nature Tourism Park. Changes in policy changes to the function of nature reserves cause pros and cons in the community, and cause conflicts between government and environmental activists. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into natural tourism parks in the Kamojang conservation area of Indonesia, as well as to identify appropriate communication models in the management of geothermal energy through communication and environmentally sustainable approaches. Research findings show that the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into tourist parks include; the interests of geothermal energy to meet national energy needs and electricity infrastructure, accommodate the needs of surrounding communities that utilize water resources in conservation areas, and restore ecosystems. The communication model for geothermal energy management that we propose at the same time is also a novelty namely; ecopopulism approach, negotiation approach, collaboration, and equating meaning and orientation to environmental sustainability. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Geothermal Energy, Nature Reserves, Conservation Policies, Communication Models and Sustainable Development.
