Treubia 14. 1934). and in determining several thousands of specimens from other islands of the oriental region. I have taken the opportunity to compare the Javan fauna witlr that of Sumatra. and the result has been a fresh list of the Odonata known to occur in that island. whi~ I hope will prove useful for further research.

Genova, 27, 1889. As is well shown by the distributional lists given for each species in some of the above: quoted papers, very little was known about the distribution of the species inhabiting this big and important province of Malaysia. Therefore. I have not only assembled and put on record all residencies, localities and names of captors, relating to little known species, but also the known localities mentioned in the literature. However. in order not to expand this paper to unreasonable length. all previously published records are only briefly quoted, and the names of authors who mentioned the precise localities of these species have been placed between brackets. SCANNED BY ÂNGELO P. PINTO II.2012 -2- During the past five years several new species have been taken in Sumatra and many new localities have come to our knowledge. The reader will find some of these - £specially those ·of species captured by Messrs 0 res c her and To x 0 pe u s in S. Sumatra - incorporated already in the Javan list, but many other records have so far remained unpublished. It was my good fortune to spend ten days in the residency of the "Lampoengsche districten", S. Sumatra, in December 1934, and I was able, with the help of my wife and Dr. T 0 x 0 p e u s, to collect about 85 species, including several of great interest. The Odonate fauna of the chain of islands, situated to the west of Sumatra, has been left out of consideration, and for several reasons I have thought it best .not to include the fauna of the islands of Banka and Billiton; these islands are inhabited by a number of species· occuring also in W. Borneo, which are absent from Sumatra; and the species common to Banka and Borneo for instance, suggest that a close connection formerly existed between them. I have included the fauna of Doerian I. (Riouw Archipelago), where Dr. K. W. 0 a m mer m a n for many years collected a few species of interest. In the prese;"t list my vJews are stated somewhat dogmatically, but. alihough I was obliged to give only a Synopsis of the Sumatran fauna, the reader will soon notice, that I have arguments to support my statements. Recently, S c h mid t has published a catalogue, compiled from the literature, of all sp'ecies known· to him ·to occur in Sumatra and Java. This list included Iql Sumatran spe<;ies (not counting subspecies), of which 6, viz. Rh. heterostigma io (= Rh. selysi Kriig.). Caconeura notostigma Selys, Stenobasis osc.i/lans (= Arci;ibasis oscillans Sel.). Procord .. ;!a sumbawana Forst., Tetracanthagyna degorsi Martin, and Anax fu ;"osus Ris (= A. gibbo­ sulus subsp') are, in the writer's opinion, injustly listed as Sumatran species; the total number of known species is thus brought to 155. The present list contains the names of 180 species, or, if Ictinus decoratus and I. melaenops, and Macrogomphus parallelogramma and M. albardae are traced as distinct spE;cies (as most writers do) , the total numeer would amount to 182. Of the 75 species of Zygoptera only 31 occur also inlava, and of the 105 Anisoptera, only 67 have· found their way to that island. The number of species precinctive to Sumatra ·is less than in Java, only 22 (not counting subspecies), or about 12% being confined to the island, while in Java about 28, or 19 % of the total ( 142) are precinctive. In the follawing list the species confined to Sumatra are marked with **, and species not previously recorded are marked thus '. My sincere thanks are extended to Messrs. F. C. 0 res c her, Dr. L. F u I m e k, Dr. E d w. J a cob son, J. c. van de r Me e r Moh r, Dr. H. R. A. Muller, Dr. C . G. G. J. van Steenis, Dr. L. J. Toxopells, and many others for their kind help in collecting material in different parts of the island and in permitting me to deposit all specimens, including the types of new species, in the collection of the Buitenzorg Museum.

  • Development of Bilingual Children's Fiction with the Theme Jambinese Local Wisdom, Local Language and Culture
    DEVELOPMENT OF BILINGUAL CHILDREN’S FICTION WITH THE THEME JAMBINESE LOCAL WISDOM, LOCAL LANGUAGE AND CULTURE Armiwati, Tubagus Zam Zam Al Arif Jambi University E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Children’s literature is as an creative imagination which is expressed in a series of events that are full of simple messages. Children's literature aims to introduce life descriptions that are meaningful to children related to their age. Through this creative imagination , children will get to know and explore their environment both in the natural and social environment in an entertaining and fun way without coercion or stating of being adjusted. Norton (2010:3) states developing positive attitudes toward our own culture and the culture of other is necessary for both social and personal development. Through a collection of children's stories with the theme of Jambinese local wisdom, language and culture in the frame of the diversity, in hopes, to introduce and build children’s attitudes to always appreciate what is in their environment. The collection of children's stories is a medium of communication with children to stimulate children’s imagination and develops a positive attitude towards their social environments; parents, teachers, brothers, sisters and their friends as instilling ethical values as the character of the Indonesian nation. Thus children's literature will provide an aesthetic experience of Jambinese local wisdom, language and culture and will stimulate intellectual and emotional responses for children through imagination in accordance with their age. Keywords: Children ’Literature, Local Language, Parents. Children’s literature is a result of imagination creativity which is outlined in a series of events that are full of simple messages.

Biodiversitas 19: 1366-1374. River is a habitat for many aquatic organisms. Water quality is the main river characteristic that strongly influences distribution pattern, biodiversity, and abundance of aquatic organisms. Nekton is aquatic organism that swims and moves actively on their desire, for example, fish, shrimp, amphibian and also big aquatic insects. The purpose of this research was to know the habitat condition and biodiversity of nekton in the upstream of Wampu watershed. The habitat condition was measured by examining the temperature, visibility, flow velocity, depth of waters, dissolved oxygen, pH, kind of substrate, the width of the river, body width of river and rate of flow of the river. The type of nekton was determined by catching the nekton using a backpack of electrofishing unit with an electric flow of 12 Volt and 9 Ampere.

Batangtoru River which flows from the Tapanuli highlands (i.e., Sipirok, Tarutung, Siborong-borong, and Silangit) to the southwestern Indian Ocean is an important habitat for aquatic organisms in the western region of North Sumatra. This research was done to provide basic data on biodiversity of aquatic organisms in Indonesia, especially North Sumatra. The study was conducted in July-August 2019. Nekton was captured using backpack electrofishing units (12 volts and 9 Amperes), traps, nets, and bamboo trap. This study found 68 nekton species, consisting of fish (57 species), crab (3), shrimp (6), lobster (1), and 1 freshwater turtle (1). In general, nekton found in the Batangtoru River and its tributaries are native and economically valuable fish (Tor and eel), including the newly discovered species, which was, Hemibagrus caveatus.

    Pelestarian Harimau Sumatera Kerinci-Seblat Kerinci Seblat Sumatran Tiger Protection & Conservation Interim Report on activities conducted with the support of Wildcats Conservation Alliance and Dreamworld Conservation Funding February-July 2018 by Fauna & Flora International Summary of activities and results to date The project purpose is to secure the effective conservation of Sumatran tiger through reduced threat in a national park that forms the protected core (1.38 million hectares) of the globally important Kerinci Tiger Conservation Landscape . Six Tiger Protection & Conservation Units were active and conducted a total of 57 SMART patrols across a total walking distance of 878Km (546 miles) using GPS Waypoint. Distance walked and the number of patrols was lower than planned, primarily due to an increase in human-tiger conflicts recorded and habitat law enforcement actions with three patrols aborted due to (5) chainsaw seizures. Patrol deployment and coverage in the east of the national park was also impacted by management capacity with the Jambi TPCU coordinator on Academic Leave taking a Master’s degree with no suitable ‘stand-in’ identified. A total of 46 individual Sumatran tiger presence records were made with Frequency of Encounter improving, park-wide, for the second year running, to 1 tiger per 19Km (11.8 miles) walked compared with 1 tiger per 20.1Km (12.5 miles) in the same months of 2017 and 1-20.8Km (12.9 miles) in 2016. Active poaching threat to tiger reduced for the second year running with just one active tiger snare recorded on an information-led TPCU patrol compared with five in the same months of 2017 and 35 in the same six months of 2016.

  • Customary Forest Management in Kerinci, Central Sumatra, Indonesia
    Strategic Engagement and Dynamic Adaptation: Customary Forest Management in Kerinci, Central Sumatra, Indonesia H. Hartanto, H. Rangan, C. Thorburn, and C. Kull 1 The ability of communities to use and manage forests and other natural resources in a sustainable manner has received much interest from various scholars, policy- makers, donor agencies, and non-government organisations. With regards to the management of forests and natural resources by customary communities in Indonesia, there are two opposing views of the customary institutions, or adat , and management practices. Some perceive adat institutions and management practices as weak, inert, and incapable of responding to changing economic and social conditions. Others see adat institutions as politically dynamic and innovative in their response to changing circumstances. This paper examines the strategies and processes used by adat leaders in Kerinci, Central Sumatra, to adapt and transform their customary forest institutions in response to the national government’s policies for increased forest conservation. These policies were instituted by the creation of the Kerinci-Seblat National Park, accompanied by regulations defining forest areas and controlling people’s access to natural resources within the park and the buffer zone. Drawing on key concepts in legal pluralism, institutional change, and theories of power, the paper illustrates the ways in which the adat leaders reshaped adat institutions and engaged with powerful external actors to claim authority and management rights over the forests. The conclusions point to need for policy- makers, scholars, and practitioners to move beyond typecasting adat institutions and focus instead on the strategic ways in which adat leaders and communities engage with local governments and external actors to redefine both customary and formal institutions of forest control and management.

Purwokerto Utara, Kabupaten Banyumas, Jawa Tengah 53122, Indonesia This study examined the water pollution, incomes loss, and health impact as externalities caused by illegal gold mining (IGM) activities in two districts (Merangin and Batanghari) in Jambi Province, Indonesia. This study conducted face to face interviews from June ?? to July 2018 of hundred respondents from two districts on their perspectives of IGM. The result found that two villages (Baru and Tiga Alur) were severely affected by the IGM activities. Most of the excavated lands were ex-rice fields owned by the residents who thought the IGM more profitable than farming.
