    Jambi Licorice Gourami (Parosphromenus sp. Jambi ) PRIGEN CONSERVATION BREEDING ARK Summer Update By Jochen Menner June 2021 Preface The second quartal of 2021 was characterized by an overall improvement of the pandemic situation. Especially in the beginning of the quartal, Indonesia saw quite low numbers of new infections with the Corona virus, most restrictions were lifted and life slowly found its way back to normal. Unfortunately, among others, triggered by domestic travels around Ramadan and the Eid festival, by the end of this quartal the infection rate has risen again. East-Java is not as devastatingly affected as other regions. However, uncertainty is on the rise again. Despite the continuous global challenges, PCBA is yet again looking back at a very exciting and equally successful quartal. We have not only been able to breed some of Indonesia's most threatened species but we have succesfully started new projects, focusing on even more endangered species.

Proper management is needed to maintain asian small-clawed otter welfare. This research objectives were to examine and assess asian small-clawed otter welfare in three Indonesia zoos. The study was conducted from December 2016 to February 2017 in Bandung Zoo, Ragunan Zoo and Ocean Dream Samudra Ancol. The methods of this research were literature review, interview and field observation. Data were analyzed using the suitability of management and animal welfare assessment. The result showed that there were three main management activities conducted at the three study locations, i.e., nutrition, housing, and health management. Bandung Zoo achieved the lowest score of asian small-clawed otter welfare (45,24%) compared to Ragunan Zoo (62,24%) and Ocean Dream Samudra (65,90%). Asian small-clawed otter welfare in three institutions were relatively low to fair category, this was due to the unfilled quality of food and water i.e., the type, amount, feeding frequency, diet and preparing of food; the unavailability of suitable and favorable environmental conditions; the care facilities provided could not ensure the health of animal; the appearance of abnormal behavior that affected the growth and breeding of animal; and animal had no freedom to behave as in their natural habitat.

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Masalah Pariwisata merupakan sektor ekonomi yang penting bagi Indonesia. Dikutip dari laman Tempo, The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) menyatakan pertumbuhan pariwisata Indonesia di akhir tahun 2018 menduduki peringkat ke-9 di dunia. Pertumbuhan pariwisata Indonesia di tahun 2017 mencapai 22%, angka ini diatas rata-rata pertumbuhan wisatawan dunia sebesar 6,4% dan pertumbuhan wisatawan di ASEAN sebesar 7%. Pertumbuhan pariwisata Indonesia ini ternyata masih jauh lebih baik bila dibandingkan dengan Malaysia yang tumbuh hanya 4%, Singapura 5,8%, dan Thailand 8,7%. Kondisi geografis Indonesia yang strategis yaitu terletak diantara Benua Asia dan Benua Australia, juga diapit oleh dua samudera yaitu Samudera Hindia dan Samudera Pasifik menjadi alasan Indonesia memiliki sumber daya alam yang menarik dan keberagaman flora dan fauna, hal inilah yang menjadi sumber potensi bagi Indonesia dalam mengembangkan sektor pariwisata. Pariwisata memberikan beberapa manfaat diantaranya sebagai sumber devisa negara, membuka lapangan pekerjaan, menjaga kelestarian alam, dan sarana melestarikan budaya. Bank Indonesia mengatakan pariwisata merupakan sektor yang paling menghasilkan devisa bagi Indonesia setelah minyak dan gas, batu bara, dan kelapa sawit. Hal ini dikarenakan sumber daya yang dibutuhkan untuk mengembangkan pariwisata terdapat di dalam pariwisata. Seperti yang telah disebutkan sebelumnya, bahwa sumber daya alam yang indah meliputi luas wilayah serta keberagaman yang 1 2 terdapat di Indonesia yang menjadi daya tarik utama bagi para wisatawan khususnya wisatawan mancanegara. Data kunjungan wisatawan mancanegara dapat dilihat pada gambar berikut. Gambar I.1 Data Kunjungan Wisatawan Mancanegara Sumber: Kementrian Pariwisata, Republik Indonesia Dari Gambar I.I dapat diketahui bahwa selama tahun 2017 sampai 2018, jumlah wisatawan mancanegara yang berkunjung ke Indonesia meningkat dengan jumlah yang cukup signifikan.

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden’s Education Department offers a unique look at our zoo—the zoo at night. We offer three sequential overnight programs designed to build upon students’ understanding of the natural world. Within these programs, we strive to combine learning with curiosity, passion with dedication, and advocacy with perspective. By sharing our knowledge of, and excitement about, environmental education, we hope to create quality experiences that foster a sense of wonder, share knowledge, and advocate active involvement with wildlife and wild places. Overnight experiences offer a deeper and more profound look at what a zoo really is. The children involved have time to process what they experience, while encountering firsthand the wonderful relationships people can have with wild animals and wild places. The program offers three special adventures: Animal Adaptations, Wolf Woods, and Sleep with the Manatees, including several specialty programs. Activities range from a guided tour of zoo buildings and grounds (including a peek behind-the-scenes), to educational games, animal demonstrations, late night hikes, and presentations of bio-facts.

Sexual monomorphism, in which males and females are not easily distinguishable, is one such factor and is a common problem in captive breeding of many avian and reptile species. Species-specific nuclear DNA markers, recently developed to identify portions of sex chromosomes, were employed in this study for sex determination of Komodo dragons (Varanus Komodoensis). Each animal was uniquely tagged using a passive integrated micro-transponder (TROVAN 100A type transponders of 13 mm in length and 2 mm in diameter). The sex of a total of 81 individual Komodo dragons (44 samples from Ragunan zoo, 26 samples from Surabaya zoo, and 11 samples from Gembira Loka zoo) were determined using primers Ksex 1for and Ksex 3rev. A series of preliminary PCR amplifications were conducted using DNA from individuals of known sex. During these preliminary tests, researchers varied the annealing temperatures, number of cycles, and concentrations of reagents, in order to identify the best protocol for sex determination using our sample set.

  • Wildlife-Animal Tourism Development and Lessons from Indonesia
    69 C-02 WILDLIFE-ANIMAL TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND LESSONS FROM INDONESIA Budi Guntoro1 1Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Jl. Fauna 3, Yogyakarta, Indonesia 55281 (E-mail: [email protected]) Introduction Wildlife-animal tourism encompasses a range of activities, including bird watching, wildlife viewing, photographic and walking safaris, reef diving, whale watching, trophy hunting and sport fishing. Wildlife tourism may be achieved through many different forms of transport, including on foot, by vehicle, boat or balloon. Wildlife tourism may be purposeful or may also include tourists who visit wildlife areas as an incidental part of a broader trip. Business trips may also involve visits to wildlife areas that are casual diversions rather than the prime motivation for visiting a country. Wildlife tourism is an important component of the international and domestic tourism industry. Overall, depending on the region, wildlife tourism accounts for 20 to 40 per cent of international tourism (Filion et al.1992; Giongo et al.1993, CEP 1994). The scale of wildlife tourism is even larger if domestic wildlife tourism is taken into consideration. However, statistics are often not available to determine what proportion of wildlife tourism is domestic in origin, but it is likely to be very high in some countries. As with tourism generally, wildlife tourism is likely to increase in importance and scale (Giongo et al. 1993). Furthermore, it may also attract an increasing market share, as suggested by a number of surveys indicating an increasing interest in wildlife among tourists. The last 20 years have seen a shift in favoured tourism destinations towards developing countries, especially those rich in biodiversity.
