Nonhuman primates maintained in captivity have a valuable role in education and research. They are also occasionally used in entertainment. The scope of these activities can range from large, accredited zoos to small “roadside” exhib- its; from national primate research centers to small academic institutions with only a few monkeys; and from movie sets to street performers. Attached to these uses of primates comes an ethical responsibility to provide the animals with an environment that promotes their physical and behavioral health and well-be- ing.

Department of Anthropology, University of Zurich, Switzerland 11 12 Abstract 13 Among animals’ societies, dominance is an important social factor that influences inter-individual 14 relationships. However, assessing dominance hierarchy can be a time-consuming activity which 15 is potentially impeded by environmental factors, difficulties in the recognition of animals, or 16 through the disturbance of animals during data collection. Here we took advantage of novel 17 devices, Machines for Automated Learning and Testing (MALT), designed primarily to study 18 nonhuman primates’ cognition - to additionally measure the social structure of a primate group. 19 When working on a MALT, an animal can be replaced by another; which could reflect an 20 asymmetric dominance relationship (or could happen by chance). To assess the reliability of our 21 automated method, we analysed a sample of the automated conflicts with video scoring and found 22 that 75% of these replacements include genuine forms of social displacements.

Increasingly more information has been published about primates in agroecosystems but a general synthesis of the diversity of agroecosystems that primates use or which primate taxa are able to persist in these anthropogenic components of the landscapes is still lacking. Because of the continued extensive transformation of primate habitat into human-modified landscapes, it is important to explore the extent to which agroecosystems are used by primates. In this article, we reviewed published information on the use of agroecosystems by primates in habitat countries and also discuss the potential costs and benefits to human and nonhuman primates of primate use of agroecosystems.

This ethnographic research aimed to find out 1) how women are presented in Mount Tengger folklore; 2) the position of women in Tengger folkore; and 3) Tenggerese women’s environmental knowledge in relation to nature and disaster mitigation. Data analysis used multi perspective dimensions by employing theories of ecofeminism, ecocriticism, and folkloristic views. Human instruments, observations, interviews, and documentation were used in this study. The findings revealed that 1) women are presented both in Tengger folktales and oral poetry (spells), and are characterized as being mentally strong, respected, and having the proclivity to protect the environment. 2) In Tenggerese folklore, women enjoy equal position with men. The equality between men and women has become a social value and practice within Tenggerese traditions. Women work side-by-side with men in their domestic lives and beyond. 3) Tenggerese women have extensive environmental knowledge, in both the physical and psychological sense. They have in-depth and detailed knowledge of the vitality of nature for human living. Keywords: environmental knowledge; folklore; Tengger; women INTRODUCTION Folklores, especially the geo-cultural or geo-mythological Located in East Java, Mount Tengger is one of oral literature, should be prioritized and in literary studies many disaster-prone areas in Indonesia.

UNDP Strategic Plan Outputs: 1.3 Solutions developed at national and sub-national levels for sustainable management of natural resources, ecosystem services, chemicals and waste. Expected CPAP Outcome: 2.1 Responsible national institutions and relevant stakeholders are more effective in managing environmental resources and addressing environmental pollution Expected CPAP Output: 2.1.1 Government, private sector and CBO partners have coherent and effective policy frameworks, action plans, implementing arrangement and funding arrangement to sustainably manage terrestrial ecosystems. Implementing Agency: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Implementing Partner: Ministry of Forestry Responsible Parties: Directorate of Biodiversity Conservation, DG of Forest Protection & Nature Conservation, Ministry of Forestry; Directorate Forestry and Water Resources, BAPPENAS Brief Description Sulawesi (17.46 million ha) is the world’s 11th largest island that has a remarkable globally significant diversity of terrestrial flora and fauna with an impressive variety of forest ecosystems, and supports high rates of endemism and species-level biodiversity. Despite such efforts, Sulawesi’s biodiversity remains severely threatened and fast degrading due to a number of human-induced threats. Protection and management of existing PAs has not been adequate to prevent extensive encroachment and damage within PA boundaries, whilst natural areas beyond PA boundaries have been even more rapidly degraded as a result of logging, conversion, mining, fire and hunting.

Three females and one male key informant who had good reputation in medicinal plant knowledge and traditional healing along with 34 respondents were questioned using semi structured interview method. Ninety six species belonging to 45 families have been found which can be used to heal 87 kinds of ailments, for facial treatment, for post natal care and as food supplements. The medicinal plants can be found in various habitats including house yard, plantation, forest, rice fields, swamps and any other location (wild).
