Assistance for organic cattle certification for motilango cattle breeders groups, Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, Gorontalo Province

Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park (TNBNW) is a national park located in the Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province. Within this national park, there is the Pinogu sub-district, which possesses high-potential commodities, namely coffee and cattle. However, access to the sub-district is relatively difficult, resulting in Pinogu not fully utilizing its resources, particularly in the livestock sector. Considering that Pinogu is an organic area, all products originating from Pinogu should adhere to organic standards. To support this assertion, there is a need for organic certification from official institutions. Therefore, assistance was provided to help prepare organic cattle certification for Pinogu livestock groups, enabling them to obtain organic cattle certification from official institutions through outreach, document collection, and interviews. The outcome of this program is the necessary documentation and data required to meet the organic cattle certification requirements.

Agriculture system and bioresources utilization in villages around Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park: A case study of Ilomata village, Gorontalo

It is a common trait for villages surrounding conservation areas to be dependent on the forest ecosystem for food and economic needs. This is also the case for Ilomata Village, a village bordering the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park. This research aims to identify agricultural systems, bioresources utilizations, ecological threats and the potential development of an ecologically based agricultural system in Ilomata Village, Gorontalo Province. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and focus group discussions. Further, descriptive statistics are utilized to analyze the data. The result shows two forms of agriculture. First, the monoculture system is characterized by one main commodity (corn). Second, the polyculture system is characterized by a combination of crops, plantations, forestry, and livestock. For the bioresources’ utilization, as many as 79 species of vegetation were used by the community. This research also notes the forms of utilization that have the potential to threaten the ecosystem, as well as several potentials that can be developed. This research concludes that although there is an ecological-based agriculture system in Ilomata Village, it has not been implemented optimally by utilizing the existing potential. The result implies that it can be used to determine an ecologically-based agriculture intervention model.

Welfare Assessment of Maleo Chicks in Hungayono Sanctuary, Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, Gorontalo

The decline in the Maleo population due to the decrease in suitable nesting sites caused the need for Maleo conservation activities such as protecting Maleo’s nesting site and their eggs. This study aims to analyze aspects of Maleo chicks captive management and assess Maleo chicks welfare levels in Hungayono Sanctuary. The method used is direct observation, interviews, and literature studies. Data analysis was carried out by describing the welfare assessment. The results showed that welfare management in Hungayono includes the management of cages, feed, and health. Management activities for the aspects of cages, feed, and overall health are still lacking. This is because several important aspects had not been fulfilled in management, such as the quantity and quality of the cages, feed and water given, also medical personnel and facilities. Maleo chick’s welfare level in Hungayono had a value of 49.73, which was categorized as low. The aspect of freedom from pain, injury, and disease had the lowest score, which was 1.92. In conclusion, the overall management of maleo chick's in Hungayono was still lacking and needed to be improved. The welfare level of Maleo chick’s was low, with freedom from pain, injury, and disease having the lowest score. Hungayono managers need to add medical personnel and increase the quality and quantity of their medical facilities to improve the aspects of freedom from pain, injury, and disease.

The existence of black macaque (Macaca nigra) population in Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, Bolaang Mongondow, North Sulawesi of Indonesia: The valuable economical investment of the endemic fauna in the forest environmental sustainability

The existence survey of the black macaque (Macaca nigra) population was conducted at the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park (BNWNP), Bolaang Mongondow, and North Sulawesi of Indonesia from December 2021 to November 2022. The survey using line transect by ‘Complete Count’ method was used to determine population size. The direct observations and questionnaire surveys of the local people were applied to identify the potential threats to the macaque existence. The population comprised 183 individuals from four multimale-multifemale groups and fourteen solitary individuals. The group density was 1.22 groups/km2, and the group size ranged from 34 to 55 individuals (mean of 42.25 ± 9.53). The mean ratio of adults to non-adults were 1:1.35, and the adult male to female ratio was 1:0.96. Macaca nigra was observed to forage and sleep inside range forest adjacent to the limited production forest. The survival of the macaque was threatened by the habitat loss, fragmentation, illegal logging and illegal mining. Other local human activities in opening forest for clove plantation were identified as potential stressors. Therefore, it should be recommended strictly to implement the existing management plan by the Directorate General of Natural Resources Conservation of the Republic of Indonesia. The monitoring and strengthening the capacity of forest departmental staffs should be focused to conserve the endemic fauna including M. nigra and flora vegetation of the animals’ habitats as the valuable economical investment in the forest environmental sustainability of the BNWNP.

Habitat Characteristics of Magnolia Based on Spatial Analysis: Landscape Protection to Conserve Endemic and Endangered Magnolia sulawesiana Brambach, Noot., and Culmsee

Based on habitat preferences, in this study, we investigated the spatial distribution of the Magnolia genus in the northern part of Sulawesi. Habitat characteristics, especially temperature, precipitation, and topography, were determined using spatial analysis. The temperature and precipitation datasets were obtained from WorldClim BIO Variables V1, and topographical data were obtained from the Google Earth Engine. Data collection began in 2008–2009 and was completed in 2019–2020. In total, we analyzed 786 waypoints. The genus distribution was then predicted based on the most suitable habitat characteristics and mapped spatially. This study confirmed that Magnolia spp. distribution is affected by the annual temperature range, precipitation seasonality, and elevation. We discovered endemic and endangered species, Magnolia sulawesiana Brambach, Noot., and Culmsee, that were previously distributed exclusively in the central part of Sulawesi. Five waypoints of the endemic species were found in the conservation area of the Gunung Ambang Nature Reserve and on the border of Bogani Nani Wartabone Nation Park. In general, M. sulawesiana is distributed at higher elevations than other Magnolia species. This study provides a scientific basis for forest officers to develop in-situ and ex-situ conservation strategies and landscape protection measures to maintain the sustainable use of the genus, especially the sustainability of endemic species.

Integrating Economic Value of Environmental Services and Carbon Stock: A Case Study from Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park

As a conservation area, national parks play essential roles in environmental services provision and have the potential to support the REDD+ program. This study aims to estimate appropriate incentives for national parks based on carbon units by integrating the economic value of environmental services and carbon stock provided by the lowland dry forest ecosystem in Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park (BNWNP) consisted of North Sulawesi and Gorontalo areas. Carbon stock was estimated by establishing sample plots, including five carbon pools. While the economic valuation of environmental services includes biodiversity using the market approach, ecotourism using the zonal travel cost method, and water service using simulation water regulation services method and market approach. The total ecosystem carbon stock in BNWNP is estimated at 73.67 Mton. Meanwhile, the estimation of the economic value of environmental services is about IDR 70.57 trillion. Based on these results, the appropriate carbon values are IDR 683,308 and IDR 1,304,238 per ton carbon for the lowland dry forest ecosystem in Gorontalo and North Sulawesi areas. This result indicates that given its essential environmental services, the incentive for protecting national parks may exceed the carbon value used in result-based payment scheme in REDD+ initiatives that have been implemented.

Richness and diversity of insect pollinators in various habitats around Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, North Sulawesi, Indonesia

Abstract. Koneri R, Nangoy MJ, Wakhid. 2021. Richness and diversity of insect pollinators in various habitats around Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 288-297. The pollination of plants by insects is one of the most important and essential ecosystem services in natural and agricultural landscapes and Insect pollinators play an important role in this process. This is because they help to transfer pollen from the anther to the stigma, which leads to fertilization. This study aims to analyze the richness and diversity of insect pollinators in various habitats around the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, Toraut, North Sulawesi. It was carried out from June to August 2020 on three types of habitats around the National Park, namely forest edges, shrubs and agricultural land. For each habitat, four plots with a size of 50 m x 25 m were made with a distance of 100 m between them. The insect pollinator observation technique used was the scan sampling method. Furthermore, data analysis was carried out on abundance, richness index, diversity index, species evenness index, dominance index and the relationship between sampling locations and environmental factors. The results showed that there were 979 insect pollinators caught at the observation point, which consisted of 60 species from 16 families and 4 orders and the most common order was Hymenoptera with 31 species. The species which were found based on their relative abundance indicated that Nomia strigata was the most abundant followed by Nomia melanderi, Apis dorsata, Ropalidia fasciata and Amegilla zonata. Furthermore, the highest abundance of insect pollinators was found in shrub habitats, while the highest species richness and diversity were found at the forest edge. Therefore, it was concluded that different types of habitat affect the richness and diversity of insect pollinator species around the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park. In addition, this proves that the forest area of Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park generally supports the abundance, richness, and diversity of insect pollinators, which were discovered in the surrounding habitats, namely shrubs and agricultural land.

New insights into Sulawesi's apex predator: the Sulawesi civet Macrogalidia musschenbroekii

AbstractThe Sulawesi civet Macrogalidia musschenbroekii is endemic to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, where it is the largest mammalian predator. Limited field data means that little is known about the species’ distribution, habitat preferences, conservation status and needs, but it is believed to depend on primary forest. We conducted camera-trap surveys across the forests of North Sulawesi, including in two of its main protected areas: Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park and Tangkoko Nature Reserve. From 148 camera trap stations and 10,371 trap nights, Sulawesi civets were recorded 17 times at 12 stations, and in almost equal numbers in primary forest, secondary forest and farmland, including the first photographic records from both the National Park and Nature Reserve. We also collected data on the Malay civet Viverra tangalunga, an introduced species of Viverridae and potential competitor. Our records (n = 21) revealed that it is established in secondary forest; it only co-occurred twice with the Sulawesi civet. With a lapse of > 20 years since the last field record of the Sulawesi civet, our findings offer new insight into its status and new enthusiasm within the provincial government for its conservation, which has led to an extension of camera-trap research into neighbouring Gorontalo province.

Empowerment of Palm Sugar Peasants at the Forest Edge of Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, Indonesia: A Study of Problems, Local Potentials, and Priority Ideas Towards Empowered Community

This study analyzed the roots of problem of palm sugar peasants at the forest edge of Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park; local potentials in producing palm sugar as a livelihood base; and their priority ideas to create empowered communities. Data collection was done through observation, in-depth interviews, Focused Group Discussion, and literature. The results showed that there were many problems faced by peasants in producing palm sugar, namely the forest where they took firewood was taken over by the national park; discourse on resettlement following the construction of a reservoir; damaged road infrastructure; did not have adequate means of producing palm sugar; uneven government assistance; and marketing of palm sugar through middlemen. In addition to the existing problems, it turns out that there were a number of local potentials that peasants had in developing palm sugar production, namely palm trees growed naturally; palm gardens owned by the peasants themselves; every peasant had sufficient knowledge how to produce palm sugar; palm sugar production was a tradition from generation to generation; solidarity ties were still very strong; the existence of village-owned enterprises; and the concern of the village government to palm sugar peasants. Palm sugar peasants had a number of priority ideas to create an empowered community, namely asking the government to revoke the status of the national park area that took over the forest where peasants take firewood; stopped or moved the reservoir construction plan; road infrastructure improvements; assistance with facilities and infrastructure for producing palm sugar; assistance allocated by the government to prioritize poorer people who had never received before; and standardization of palm sugar prices.
