(Article History: Received November 11, 2020; Revised January 5, 2021; Accepted 28 February 2021) ABSTRAKSalah satu burung pemangsa yang terdapat di Indonesia adalah Elang Jawa (Nisaetus bartelsi). Taman Nasional Gunung Halimun Salak (TNGHS) adalah salah satu taman nasional yang ada di Indonesia. TNGHS merupakan salah satu habitat bagi Elang Jawa, hal ini dikarenakan kondisinya yang bisa dikatakan masih cukup baik dan data-data mengenai burung Elang Jawa di Kawasan TNGHS masih belum memadai. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan eksplorasi mengenai habitat populasi Elang Jawa di Kawasan TNGHS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan habitat dan sarang Elang Jawa yang meliputi lokasi, jenis pohon dan ciri-ciri pohon yang digunakan sebagai tempat meletakan sarang di TNGHS. Hal ini berguna untuk memberikan informasi tentang habitat sarang Elang Jawa pada Kawasan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan yaitu survei, pemantauan sarang, wawancara, pengumpulan dan analisis data. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan N. bartelsi, menggunakan pohon Litsea cordata (Huru) dengan ketinggian 40-60 meter sebagai sarangnya, dan pohon Schima wallichii (Puspa) untuk bertengger. Kata Kunci: Elang Jawa; Habitat; Sarang; TNGHS ABSTRACTOne of the birds of prey found in Indonesia is the Javan Hawk Eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi). Mount Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS) is one of the national parks in Indonesia. TNGHS is one of the habitats for Javanese eagles. This is because the conditions are still quite good and data on Javanese eagles in the TNGHS area are still inadequate. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the habitat of the Javan hawk population in the TNGHS area. This study aims to explain the habitat and nest of Javanese eagles which include location, tree species and tree characteristics used as a place to place nests in TNGHS. This is useful for providing information about the Javan hawk nest habitat in the area. The methods used are surveys, nest monitoring, interviews, data collection and analysis. Based on the observations of N. bartelsi, using the tree Litsea cordata (Huru) with a height of 40-60 meters as a nest, and the tree Schima wallichii (Puspa) for perching.Keywords: Javan hawk eagle; Habitat; Nest; TNGHS

Constructed in 1930 and recently designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, the 1.1 mile long Zion–Mt. Carmel Tunnel has served Zion National Park in Utah well for several decades. With the passage of time, however, vehicles have become larger and this has necessitated the use of one-way operation to allow large vehicles to pass through the narrow tunnel. In recent years the number of visits to National Parks in the Colorado Plateau region has greatly increased. For example, visits to Zion National Park increased by 69% from 2010 to 2017. Accompanying the increase in visitor numbers has been an increase in traffic volume. As traffic volume has grown, two questions have become more obvious: What is the highway capacity of the Zion–Mt. Carmel Tunnel? And, how soon will the tunnel reach capacity? This paper covers a unique traffic engineering/highway capacity problem and describes: (a) the current method of operating the tunnel (both two-way and one-way operation); (b) data collection and analysis; (c) how one-way operation degrades tunnel capacity; (d) calculation of tunnel capacity and waiting times; (e) how soon the tunnel will reach capacity; and (f) alternatives for addressing the capacity problem.

Researchers have increasingly used Autonomous Monitoring Units (AMUs) to record animal sounds, to track phenology with timed photographs, and snap images when triggered by motion.  We piloted the use of smartphones to monitor wildlife in the Riverside East Solar Energy Zone (California, USA) and at Indiana Dunes National Park (Indiana, USA).  Both efforts involved establishing remote autonomous monitoring stations in which an Android smartphone was housed in a weather-proof box mounted to a pole, with stations powered by solar panels.  Each smartphone was connected to a Google account, and received its recording/photo schedule daily via a Google calendar connection when in data transmission mode.  Phones were automated by Tasker, an Android application for automating cell phone tasks.  The simple approach described could be adopted by others who wish to use non-proprietary methods of data collection and analysis.

Hiperdominansi jenis dan biomassa adalah suatu konsep yang menjelaskan pentingnya sebagian kecil jenis dan biomassa relatif terhadap rata-rata biomassa pohon pada suatu kawasan hutan. Pemahaman pada konsep ini berimplikasi pada upaya monitoring kawasan hutan khususnya bagi spesies penyumbang biomassa terbesar dan membantu pemahaman pada proses restorasi ekologinya. Analisis hiperdominansi jenis dan kontribusi pohon besar (DBH>50 cm) terhadap biomassa pohon telah dilakukan di kawasan hutan Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango (TNGGP). Sejumlah 26 plot pengamatan telah dibuat pada 26 level ketinggian yang berbeda (1013-3010 m dpl) dan dikelompokkan menjadi tiga zona yaitu zona submontana, montana, dan subalpine. Pohon-pohon yang terdapat dalam plot pengamatan kemudian dikelompokkan menjadi 3 kelompok diameter yaitu pohon kecil (5-30 cm), pohon sedang (30-50 cm), dan pohon besar (>50 cm). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa hiperdominansi jenis terjadi di hutan TNGGP. Empat jenis pohon dari 114 jenis yang teridentifikasi yaitu Schima wallichii, Altingia excelsa, Vaccinium varingiaefolium, dan Castanopsis acuminatissima merepresentasikan 56,96% dari total biomassa pohon yang ada di plot TNGGP. Lebih lanjut, pohon kecil dan besar diketahui sebagai penyumbang biomassa yang sangat signifikan dibandingkan pohon sedang. Pada level plot penelitian, pohon dengan DBH>50 cm yang berjumlah 192 individu (atau 13%) dari 1471 individu pohon mampu merepresentasikan 61,4% dari total biomassanya. Namun demikian, pada level kawasan hutan, pohon kecil dan pohon besar memiliki kontribusi yang sama signifikannya terhadap biomassa per hektarnya yaitu masing-masing sebesar 40,9% dan 38,77%. Hasil-hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa hanya sedikit jenis pohon saja mampu merepresentasikan sebagian besar dari total biomassa pohon. Pohon-pohon kecil dan besar diketahui memainkan peranan yang penting dalam biomassa di hutan TNGGP.Hyperdominance of Tree Species and Biomass in Mount Gede Pangrango National Park, IndonesiaAbstractThe hyperdominance of tree species and biomass is a concept explaining the importance of a small portion of species and biomass relative to the average of biomass in a forested area. Understanding this concept has important implication on forest monitoring, especially to monitor the most significant species that show high contributes on biomass and its ecological restoration. Hyperdominance analysis of tree species and large trees (DBH > 50 cm) contribution to tree biomass were investigated in tropical mountain forest of Mount Gede Pangrango National Park (TNGGP). A total of 26 sample plots were installed in 26 different altitude between 1013 and 3010 m asl and grouped into three zones i.e. submontane, montane, and subalpine zones. Trees within plot were identified, measured, and grouped into three groups i.e. small (DBH 5-30 cm), medium (DBH 30-50 cm), and large trees (DBH>50 cm). The result showed that there were hyperdominant in TNGGP. Four species from 114 identified tree species i.e. Schima wallichii, Altingia excelsa, Vaccinium varingiaefolium, and Castanopsis acuminatissima represented 56.96% of the total biomass in the plot level. Furthermore, only 13% of trees from 1471 trees responsible for 61.4% of the total tree biomass in the plot level. However, small and large trees have similar significant contribution to the average biomass in the forest level i.e. 40.9% and 38.77%, respectively. These results suggest that only few species represent a huge amount of biomass. Both small and large trees play important role in the forest biomass of TNGGP.

Mahale Mountains National Park

Understanding the ecological factors that drive animal density patterns in time and space is key to devising effective conservation strategies. In Tanzania, most chimpanzees (~75%) live outside national parks where human activities threaten their habitat’s integrity and connectivity. Mahale Mountains National Park (MMNP), therefore, is a critical area for chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in the region due to its location and protective status. Yet, despite its importance and long history of chimpanzee research (>50 years), a park-wide census of the species has never been conducted. The park is categorized as a savanna-woodland mosaic, interspersed with riparian forest, wooded grassland, and bamboo thicket. This heterogeneous landscape offers an excellent opportunity to assess the ecological characteristics associated with chimpanzee density, a topic still disputed, which could improve conservation plans that protect crucial chimpanzee habitat outside the park. We examined the influence of fine-scale vegetative characteristics and topographical features on chimpanzee nest density, modeling nest counts using hierarchical distance sampling. We counted 335 nests in forest and woodland habitats across 102 transects in 13 survey sites. Nests were disproportionately found more in or near evergreen forests, on steep slopes, and in feeding tree species. We calculated chimpanzee density in MMNP to be 0.23 ind/km2, although density varied substantially among sites (0.09–3.43 ind/km2). Density was associated with factors related to the availability of food and nesting trees, with topographic heterogeneity and the total basal area of feeding tree species identified as significant positive predictors. Species-rich habitats and floristic diversity likely play a principal role in shaping chimpanzee density within a predominately open landscape with low food abundance. Our results provide valuable baseline data for future monitoring efforts in MMNP and enhance our understanding of this endangered species’ density and distribution across Tanzania.

One of the birds of prey found in Indonesia is the Javan Hawk Eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi) which is an endemic bird on the Java island. Mount Halimun Salak National Park (HSNP) is one of the National Parks which is a habitat for Javan Hawk eagles, this is because the conditions are still quite good. This observation aims to study and find out the daily activities of the Javanese eagle and the factors that influence the activity of the Javan Hawk Eagle in HSNP. The methods used are nest surveying and monitoring, observing daily activities, collecting and analyzing data. Based on observations by Nisaetus bartelsi in HSNP, it was found that the Javan Hawk eagle's daily activity was perched with a percentage of 66%, and flew 34% with the highest frequency of activity at 10:00 to 14:00. The daily activities of Javan Hawk eagles are also influenced by the environment such as temperature and rainfall in their environment.Keywords: daily activities; Javan Hawk eagle; HSNP

Effective management of the National Parks largely depends on a participatory approach. Hitherto, fringe communities of Mole National Park were sidelined in its management. In recent times, the participation of communities in the management of forest resources in the Mole National Park is encouraged. This study examines how actors such as chiefs, land priests, clan heads, diviners, women leaders and youth groups support conservation using resource and habitat taboos, totemic system, traditional fire belt, sacred tree species and traditional awareness creation as strategies and their impacts thereof. The study employed a concurrent triangulation mixed methods approach in data collection, analysis, and presentation. Besides questionnaire administration as a quantitative method of data collection, the study made use of Key Informant Interviews, and Focus Group Discussions as qualitative methods of data collection. Apart from the use of descriptive statistics as a component of SPSS for the analysis of quantitative data, content analysis was used for the analysis of qualitative data. The study revealed that the fringe communities endorse the chiefs and the land priests (kasawule wura) as most effective actors in the management of forest flora and fauna and the totemic system as the most effective management strategy. The study concluded that, there exists local management actors, and strategies in resource management, and fringe communities and the park are impacted positively because of community participation in park management. It is recommended that, benefit-sharing schemes should be considered and developed by park management and fringe communities since this can engender commitment to participation.

Abstract                        This research is conduct in West Bali National Parks and focus on tour operator perception on price increase of entrance fee. The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of a tour operator towards the price increase of entrance fee to the West Bali National Park. Data collection was done by observation, interviews, questionnaires and literature study. The method used in this research is to analyze the data with the Likert Scale and described qualitatively.The results show that a tour operator on average have a negative perception or refuse towards the price increase of entrance fee to the West Bali National Park. That case cause by the price of entrance fee increase highly with amount is 1,150% for international tourist and 700% for domestic tourist. The price increase of entrance fee is not suitable and not increased in stages. Besides that, the price increase of entrance fee will influence the revenue of tour operator and also will influence tourist visits because there are many similar destination package tour what offer the cheaper price.

The Relationship

This essay explores the evolving international relationship of the two national park agencies that in 1968 began to offer joint training classes for protected-area managers from around the world. Within the British settler societies that dominated nineteenth century park-making, the United States’ National Park Service (NPS) and Canada’s National Parks Branch were the most closely linked and most frequently cooperative. Contrary to campfire myths and nationalist narratives, however, the relationship was not a one-way flow of information and motivation from the US to Canada. Indeed, the latter boasted a park bureaucracy before the NPS was established. The relationship of the two nations’ park leaders in the half century leading up to 1968 demonstrates the complexity of defining the influences on park management and its diffusion from one country to another.
