The Heosemys Spinosa Monitoring Model in Conservation Areas As the Conservation Practicum for Postgraduate Science Education in Bengkulu University Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, Series Volume Number 532 Proceedings of the International Conference on Educational Sciences and Teacher Profession (ICETeP 2020) The Heosemys Spinosa Monitoring Model in Conservation Areas as the Conservation Practicum for Postgraduate Science Education in Bengkulu University Bhakti Karyadi*, Aceng Ruyani, Agus Sundaryono, Deni Parlidungan and Pani Aswin Graduate School of Science Education, University of Bengkulu *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study aims to develop a Heosemys Spinosa monitoring model to assist practicum activities on Conservation Education material. This type of research is a development to produce a turtle monitoring model in practical activities. The research location was conducted in the turtle conservation area of Bengkulu University. The research data were collected using survey techniques, observation and documentation. The instruments used include questionnaire sheets, observation sheets. The results of this study were a turtle monitoring model which consisted of four stages, namely (a) orientation by observing the location, tools and animals of the turtles; (b) exploration with turtle monitoring activities; (c) Interpretation through data analysis and verification; (d) translation, namely data visualization and mapping. Based on the research results, monitoring of Heosemys spinosa turtles can be used as material for conservation practice activities for postgraduate education at the University of Bengkulu. Keywords: Heosemys spinosa, Monitoring model, Conservation practicum. 1. INTRODUCTION from their sharp, pointed carapace at the marginal parts Turtles are a type of wildlife in biodiversity in and small spines on the pleural scutes when they are still Indonesia, of which at least 39 species exist in Indonesia young but disappear when growing up. The distribution [1] In recent years, the demand for tortoises has area of turtle are Sumatra, Kalimantan, and small islands increased, especially from China, Europe and the United around it including the Bangka Belitung, Riau, Natuna, States, both as pets and exotic foodstuffs [1] This of and several other islands in Nias. The International course can be a threat to its sustainability in nature. The Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists H. most real threat to the natural population of turtles in spinosa which is stated in the red list with the critical Indonesia is hunting for trade and habitat destruction. category as Endangered, the status of the Convention on Bengkulu Province has several types of turtles International Trade In Endangered Species (CITES), that are scattered in almost all areas, especially those namely: Appendix II (a status that states animals). The with fresh and terrestrial habitats. Distribution of population of H. spinosa in Bengkulu province is quite freshwater and terrestrial turtles are found in Bengkulu alarming, animals are rarely found in their natural Utara, Kepahiang, South Bengkulu, Seluma, and habitat [3]. This scarcity is due to the expansion of Mukomuko districts. In North Bengkulu district, there plantation land, pollution, and chemical waste from palm are four types of turtles, namely Notochelys Platinota, oil mills [2]. Without conservation efforts and laws that Cyclemys oldhamii, Cuora amboinensis, and Dogonia protect, it is possible that H. spinosa is increasingly suplana. In Kepahiang district, there are four types of under threat. tortoises, namely C.oldhamii, Siebenrockiella The University of Bengkulu (UNIB) is the only crassicollis, Dogonia suplana, and Amyda cartilagenia. campus in Bengkulu that has a turtle conservation In Seluma district there are six types of turtles, namely program with the "UNIB Campus a Safe Home For C.oldhamii, Heosemys spinosa, Cuora amboinensis, Turtles" program to support and make the UNIB campus Notochelys platynota, Monouria emys, and Dogonia a green and "safe home" for the development of turtle suplana. In Mukomuko district, seven types of turtles species. Monitoring the growth of H. spinosa while in were found consisting of Cuora amboinensis, the ex situ conservation area of Taman Pintar can help C.oldhamii, Notochelys platinota, Dogonia suplana, identify the presence of H. spinosa which is affected by Heosemys spinosa, Monouria emys, and Pelochelys disease, increase in size, death, and even the possibility cantorii [2]. of finding new individuals as a result of breeding that One of the turtles that needs attention is the occurs naturally in the conservation area.

  • Internationalisation of Indonesian Higher Education: a Study from the Periphery
    Vol. 5, No. 9 Asian Social Science Internationalisation of Indonesian Higher Education: A Study from the Periphery Sri Soejatminah (Doctoral student) School of Education, Deakin University 221 Burwood Highway, Burwood, Victoria, Australia Tel: 61-3-9244-6237 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Globalisation as a global phenomenon has been influencing Indonesian Higher Education like other education systems in the world. Internationalisation in response to globalisation is a common feature in majority universities. It is also a feature of Indonesian Higher Education institutions, yet so far it seems that the way in which Indonesian higher education is responding to globalisation with internationalisation of its universities is not well reported. This paper aims to address this gap by examining relevant government papers, policies, research, reports and other documents available on line as well as at web sites of universities and other related web sites depicting how internationalisation has been conducted in Indonesian higher education. The paper attempts to reveal the perceived challenges of globalisation for Indonesian higher education and to what extent and in what form internationalisation has been achieved. Particularly, it will analyse the relation between policies and practices and identify barriers to internationalisation. However, it should be noted that this article is selective rather than comprehensive in reflecting on the internationalisation process in Indonesian higher education. Findings show that globalisation is perceived as a challenge requiring a response rather than as a threat to be dealt with. Many sources reflect that the government has been initiating and facilitating various programs to support internationalisation within the system. It appears that lack of capability at the institution level slows down the process.

We are happy to maintain our consistent dedication to support network and research collaboration among scholars from Indonesia and other countries around the world in topics related to Indonesia. This effort can be seen through the variety of topics that researchers and presenters shared in this program book, including special topics related to COVID-19. COVID-19 has affected the way we interacted as well as our everyday life. In order to show our dedication to support research and provide a space for researchers to share research findings, we decided to have the conference this year, virtually, allowing people from different countries to participate, without having to travel long distance. This is of course exciting and challenging at the same time, due to time constraint and time differences. As a small non-profit organization, Asian Society for International Relations and Public Affairs (ASIRPA) always try to grow and learn from each other through listening to your inputs so that the conference can benefit us all. We are also grateful that we continue to expand our collaborative work with different organizations. Our continue collaboration with organization allows allow us to provide free registration for everyone this year.

The main aim of PY3 was to assess tiger populations in poorly known areas in the 13,300 km2 Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) and use this information to improve tiger conservation management. The project has achieved this by increasing the capacity amongst Indonesian scientists through training and research that has enabled all project staff to successfully conduct high quality camera trap surveys to estimate tiger density and to conduct detection/non-detection surveys, a new method developed by this project, to estimate tiger and prey occupancy.
