For the first week, the writer should make brief descriptions of places to visit from Explore Solo packages. In the second week, the writer should translate those brief descriptions from Indonesian into English. The next week, the writer should determine destination for his own final project together with his job training mate and should do location survey to the destination for the final project. From the third week to the fifth week, the writer along with his job training mate began to work as a team.

These destination packages are Explore Solo, Explore Jogja, Explore Magelang, Explore Dieng, Explore Karimunjawa, Explore Pacitan, Explore Baluran, Explore Bromo, Explore Meru Betiri and Explore Ijen. Each destination package has a tour itinerary and those itineraries contains places to visit. For the example destination package of Explore Baluran, it has Baluran National Park, Bama Beach, Bekol Savanna, Manting Water Spring as places to visit.

The result of field survey did not meet the expectations such as rough access, closed places and time consuming to reach the places. Because Kebumen did not meet the requirement, the writer with his teammate made a new selection for destination. Kulon Progo was then chosen to be the new option. The survey in Kulon Progo was conducted after 2-week preparation. Based on the field survey, all of the tourism aspects on Kulon Progo were promising. In the seventh to eighth week, the writer had to compose itinerary of Kulon Progo. Firstly the writer should make brief description of 6 places that are included in the itinerary of Kulon Progo.

Semarang 5, Malang, Indonesia 65145. Heru Cahyono: [email protected] ABSTRACT The latest information about the distribution of a less-recorded Java-dwelling bird species found in Tahura Raden Soerjo (East Java) is noteworthy additional information in the field of ornithology. Observations were conducted in the Cangar tourism site, along the main road linking Pacet and Batu, as well as in the northern area of Tahura Raden Soerjo, which includes the hiking trails of the Welirang-Arjuno mountains. The birds with minimum records are the Hill Myna (Gracula religiosa), Thick-billed Flowerpecker (Dicaeum agile), Yellow-vented Flowerpecker (Dicaeum chryssorheum), Sunda Thrush (Zoothera andromedae), Narcissus Flycatcher (Ficedula narcissina), Brown Wood-owl (Strix leptogrammica), Oriental Bay-owl (Phodilus badius), and Rhinoceros Hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros). Several findings are supported with detailed documentations and direct observation data that can be accounted for. This information denotes that Tahura Raden Soerjo is a potential hotspot to be preserved for the sake of the rare bird species and the other biodiversity. Keywords: Tahura Raden Soerjo, sighting reports, distribution, observation INTRODUCTION The number of published information on the bird species list in Tahura Raden Soerjo has been meager, given the fact that the area covers more than 27,868.30 Ha (UPT TRS, 2011).

  • Java and Bali 2013 + Short Notes About How to See Rinjani Scops-Owl
    Java and Bali, July 2013 + short notes on Rinjani Scops-owl on Lombok. Lieven De Temmerman, Belgium Aknowledgements Hans Matheve for bird sounds, Geert Beckers and Kevin Lambeets for some extra information, Jan van der Laan for directions in his report on Rinjani Scops-owl and the people at Freddie’s Guesthouse for hospitality. Introduction For most birdwatchers, Java and Bali are the very first destinations they visit in Indonesia. Sadly, these islands are heavily deforested, have almost no ground birds and not a lot of bigger bird species, and there are less species than on the other greater Sunda islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Nevertheless, travelling in Java and Bali is relatively easy, and the birding locations are well known and still very rewarding. I travelled from Yogjakarta, along Mt Bromo, Baluran and Mount Ijen to the well-known Bali Barat national park, and looked around Ubud and the Gili islands a little bit for birds while enjoying a nature-culture holiday with my girlfriend. After this, I spent some days of hardcore birdwatching on the slopes of Gunung Gede, West-Java. Practicalities In order to cover all the endemic species of Java and Bali, one needs to visit several key birding sites in both countries. At minimum, one should visit the following sites (more information on the excellent Burung-Nusantara website: Muara Angke, a marsh area in downtown Jakarta that offers the best chances for Sunda Coucal and a lot of other marsh/wader birds. Gunung Halimun for Javan Hawk-eagle, White-bellied Fantail, Javan Leafbird, Brown-headed Barbet, but especially for White-breasted Babbler (which cannot be found in Carita anymore, and since it is a bird confined to lowlands, cannot be found on Gede).

Proof of Acacia nilotica stand expansion in Bekol Savanna, Baluran National Park, East Java, Indonesia through remote sensing and field observations. Biodiversitas 17: 96-101. One of woody species that is known to inhabit certain savanna ecosystems is Acacia nilotica. The Acacia nilotica tree is widespread in the northern savannah regions, and its range extends from Mali to Sudan and Egypt. Acacia nilotica was first introduced to Java Island in 1850. It then spread to Bali, East Nusa Tenggara, Timor and Papua. Found in grasslands, savanna is reported as important colonizer at Baluran National Park in East Java and Wasur National Park Papua. We conducted Vegetation analysis in three areas of the Baluran Savanna namely: Grazed, burned and unburnt. Our observation result analysis showed that in terms of the three most important tree species in all of the sites that we sampled (grazed, burnt and unburnt savannas) Acacia nilotica appeared in each of these sites.

  • Savana Taman Nasional Baluran
    B I O D I V E R S I T A S ISSN: 1412-033X Volume 3, Nomor 1 Januari 2002 Halaman: 207-212 Savana Taman Nasional Baluran Baluran Nasional Park Savanna M. YUSUF SABARNO Balai Taman Nasional Baluran, Jawa Timur Diterima: 20 Pebruari 2001. Disetujui: 23 Juni 2001 ABSTRACT One of the biodiversity richness in Indonesia is ecosystem of Baluran National Park savanna. This type of savanna is similar to African savanna that is included in tropical savanna. There are two types of savanna, namely flat and undulating savanna. The savanna ecosystem that covers about 40% of the total area of Baluran National Park has important role on supporting herbivore animals such as wild cattle (Bos javanicus), deer (Cervus timorensis) and wild buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). The variety of grasses and other vegetation provide food for those animals, therefore, the reduction of the reduction of quality and quantity of the savanna would reduce in the population of the herbivores. The savanna in the Baluran National Park is about 10.000 ha, however, due to invasion of Acacia nilotica has resulted in the reduction of the savanna reaching about 50%. Moreover, illegal grassing inside the Park has brought negative impact to the quality of the area and the wild fauna. Overgrazing may influence on the reduction of the population of wild fauna. Pressure to the savanna has a great impact on the balance and preservation of whole ecosystem in Baluran. Efforts have been made in order to restore the Baluran ecosystem such as preventing the expansion of A. nilotica as well as preventing illegal grazing.
