  • Asrsg Action Plan
    IUCN/Species Survival Commission Conservation Communications Fund Contributors In 1992, IUCN’s Species Survival Commission (SSC) established the Conservation Communications Fund to garner support for its expansive Publications Programme which promotes conservation by: (1) providing objective scientific information about biodiversity, habitats, and ecosystems; (2) identifying high priority actions for conservation; and (3) delivering the information and recommendations to natural resource managers, decision-makers, and others whose actions affect the conservation of biodiversity. The SSC’s Action Plans, occasional papers, news magazine Species, Membership Directory, and other publications are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation; to date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to Specialist Groups. As a result, the Action Plan Programme has progressed at an accelerated level and the network has grown and matured significantly. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and support for species conservation worldwide. The Chicago Zoological Society (CZS) provides significant in-kind and cash support to the SSC, including grants for special projects, editorial and design services, staff secondments and related support services. The mission of CZS is to help people develop a sustainable and harmonious relationship with nature. The Zoo carries out its mission by informing and inspiring 2,000,000 annual visitors, serving as a refuge for species threatened with extinction, developing scientific approaches to manage species successfully in zoos and the wild, and working with other zoos, agencies, and protected areas around the world to conserve habitats and wildlife.

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2018 ABSTRACT Derawan Island in eastern Indonesia exemplifies how the designation of a new development category called a “Tourism Village” might not be optimal for a small island because of some issues which may be correctable. Derawan was historically a fishing village. Located in the Coral Triangle, the island is known for its unique biodiversity and world-class diving, and today the island relies on marine tourism as its primary livelihood.

  • Indonesia 24 September to 15 October 2013
    Indonesia 24 September to 15 October 2013 Dave D Redfield Mammal Tour Picture: Sunda Flying Lemur (Colugo) with young by Richard White Report compiled by Richard White The story: 5 islands, 22 days and 52 mammals... A journey to a land where lizards fly, squirrels are the size of mice, civets look like otters and deer are no bigger than small annoying poodles...Indonesia! Where did this all begin...? In late June I was thinking of heading to Asia for a break. After yet another Tasmanian winter I wanted to sweat, get soaked in a tropical rain shower, get hammered by mosquitoes...I wanted to eat food with my hands (and not get stared at), wear sandals, drink cheap beer...and of course experience an amazing diversity of life. While researching some options I contacted my former employer and good friend Adam Riley from Rockjumper Birding Tours/Indri and he suggested I touch base with a client that I had arranged trips for before. The client (and now friend!) in question, Dave Redfield, has seen an aPD]LQJYDULHW\RIWKHZRUOG¶VPDPPDO species but, at that time, had yet to visit Indonesia. So, armed with a target list and a 22 day budget, I sat down and began researching and designing a tour in search of a select suit of mammal species for Dave. Time, terrain, concentration of species and cost were considered. We settled on a few days in mammal hotspots on Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi and finally Bali, in that order. %DOLZDVDOVRFKRVHQDVDJRRGSODFHWRZLQGGRZQDIWHUµURXJKLQJLW¶ though the rest of Indonesia. It is also worth mentioning that Dave, realising that seeing all the ZRUOG¶Vmammals in the wild is an impossible target, does count mammals seen in captivity; the target list of species was thus not what one might have expected (for example, a Red Spiny Mouse was a priority but Babirusa was not).

  • Indonesia Mammal Watching Trip Report
    Indonesia Mammal Watching Trip Report This is a report of the wildlife (mostly mammals) observed on a trip to Indonesia by Ian Loyd (Reef and Rainforest Tours), Lorna Watson and Steve Morgan in late June and early July 2014. We visited TanjungPuting National Park in Indonesian Borneo in the first week and then teamed up with Steve Morgan, a friend and fellow mammal enthusiast for a long stay at Way Kambas National Park in southern Sumatra. The trip was an overall success with some superb wildlife seen but we also came away slightly frustrated by the poor views of unidentified cats. For species lists see the bottom of this report. Kalimantan We flew from London Heathrow to Jakarta via Abu Dhabi on Etihadand spent a night at the FM7 Resort Hotel on arrival. The next day we flew on Trigana Air to PangkalanBuun in southern central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo to spend four days exploring TanjungPuting National Park. Our guide Eddy was very knowledgeable, humorous and had excellent English. While exploring TanjungPuting we stayed at Rimba Eco lodge. The lodge is located in TanjungKeluang village and is ƚŚĞŽŶůLJĂĐĐŽŵŵŽĚĂƚŝŽŶŽƉƚŝŽŶŝŶƚŚĞƉĂƌŬŝĨLJŽƵĚŽŶ͛ƚǁĂŶƚƚŽƐůĞĞƉŽŶƚŚĞKlotokhouse boats. TanjungPuting TanjungPuting is the largest protected forest in central Kalimantan and covers 3,040 square km of lowland dipterocarp and peat swamp forest and is probably home to highest density (over 6000) of wild orang-utans in the world. The best wildlife viewing centres on Camp Leakey (2 hours upstream from Rimba Eco Lodge). Camp Leakey was set up in 1971 byLouis Leakey to support researchinto orang-utans and, over the years,scientists here have habituated andstudied hundreds of orang- utans.The chief researcher is BiruteGaldikas who, together with JaneGoodall and Dian Fossey, workedwith Leakey to form many of thecurrent theories on primate behaviour and biology.
