Bumi Patra Biodiversity Park is vital to conserving flora and fauna in urban areas. The wildlife inventory activities at this location were started in 2018. In the following year, plant enrichment was carried out so that wildlife monitoring was needed. The study aims to compare the diversity of wildlife species in 2018 and 2020. Data collection for mammals was conducted using line transects, birds using point counts, amphibians using transect and patch sampling methods, and reptiles using hand-capturing methods. Data analysis was carried out by calculating the species diversity index and identifying the conservation status of wildlife. The results indicated an increase in the number of wildlife species, from 63 species in 2018 to 67 species in 2020. The taxa of mammals, birds, and reptiles have increased, while amphibians have decreased. The diversity index of mammals, amphibians, and reptiles varied in each block with increasing and decreasing values. The bird species diversity index increased in each block. There were 11 protected bird species, two appendix III mammal species, one appendix II bird species, and two appendix II reptile species. The implications of this research were: 1) it is necessary to enrich the habitat, 2) the existence of a biodiversity park needs to be maintained, mainly due to the discovery of protected species, 3) it is essential to carry out periodic or regular wildlife monitoring, and 4) the development of birdwatching education can be done based on bird diversity.

The results of the study found that natural tourism became a trend during the pandemic, reaching 48.9% with the main objective of enjoying a pristine environment, a quiet and calm atmosphere, and cool and fresh air. Botanical gardens have the highest selection index for residents over the age of 50, while zoos, safari parks, national parks and natural parks have the highest selection index for the age group of adolescents to 20 years. Zoos and safari parks were favored by informants from the city, botanical gardens were favored by informants from the village, while national parks and natural parks were favored by both. Extreme tourism activities are preferred by the 31-40-year age group, moderate activities are preferred by the 41-50-year age group, while special interest tourism is preferred by the age group of 50 years and over. There is a trend of male informants liking natural tourism and modern tourism, while female informants like cultural, culinary and religious tourism. Due to changes in preferences for selecting tourist destinations and types of tourist activities, tourism managers are advised to carry out various product innovations or tour packages, visitor services, promotion/marketing, improve visitor facilities adapted to new normal conditions, and continue to implement health protocols.

National Flower and Animal Love Day (HCPSN), celebrated every 5 November, aims to increase awareness, protection, conservation, and sustainable use of national flowers and animals. One way to commemorate HCPSN is to organize an exhibition on biodiversity conservation. The 2020's HCPSN exhibition held at Bogor Botanical Gardens. the research team surveyed by distributing questionnaires to 90 visitors to obtain data on their perceptions and attitudes towards nature conservation and opinions on environmental education. The survey found that only some respondents knew about HCPSN (53.3%), National Nature Conservation Day (41.1%), Environment Day (52.2%), and International Forest Day (36.7%). Respondents realized that nature conservation is the responsibility of all citizens (67.8%) and 21.2% of respondents support and participate in environmental conservation actions. As many as 61.1% of respondents think that environmental education in schools is still lacking, therefore they consider it necessary to have environmental education in schools, both in the form of separate subjects (57.0%), integrated into other materials (28.0%) and extracurricular (15.0%). The survey also found that environmental education was obtained by respondents from schools (21.5%), books (16.2%), social media (13.1%), museums (13.1%), television (12.6%), parents (7.9%), exhibitions (6.3%), newspapers and magazines (4.7%), and brochures or posters (4.7%). The respondent's educational background has a significant effect on the perception of endangered flower, and the first source of knowledge about nature conservation obtained by the respondent is highly significant correlation with the respondent's perception of the endangered flower, but not for national animals. Based on these findings, a strategy for promoting nature conservation can be drawn up, especially during a pandemic.

Gunawan H, Sugiarti. 2015. Ex-situ biodiversity conservation through Development of Biodiversity Park by private sector: Lesson learned from Aqua Danone Group, Indonesia. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 1: 565-573. Biodiversity conservation is a collective responsibility and its implementation is a consequence of sustainable development principle that has been applied by Indonesia Government. Aqua Danone Group is a multinational company which produces bottled drinking water has been participate and contribute to the sustainable development through “Aqua Lestari Program”. In line with the sustainability, Aqua Danone Group has also participated in a program award of company performance in environment management (PROPER). One of the prerequisites to achieve green category in PROPER award is biodiversity conservation action. For those reasons, Aqua Danone Group has developed Biodiversity Parks (Taman Kehati) in Babakan Pari and Mekarsari Sukabumi Regency), Lido and Ciherang (Bogor Regency). The objectives of biodiversity park development are to collect and cultivate life specimens of threatened flora, to provide habitat for animals, to produce seedlings and genetic resources of local tree species, to provide an area for education, research, and development, science and ecotourism, to provide green open area and increasing vegetation land cover. Biodiversity Park development is including planning, development and management and monitoring, supported by environment education, conservation campaign, training and empowering local communities. The existence of Biodiversity Park in industrial area and settlement gave positive impact to biodiversity, environment, and community through increasing diversity index of flora and fauna, providing amenity and aesthetics, and enabling environmental education for students studying at schools in the vicinity of the park.

Species diversity and habitat of wildlife in Ciherang Kehati Park, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 8: 53-61. Ciherang Kehati Park is a green open space that functions to save native threatened plant species in PT Tirta Investama's factory environment in Bogor, West Jawa, Indonesia. Ciherang Kehati Park was established in 2006 with plants that continue to increase diversity. This study aims to inventory and identify wild animals' species andevaluate their habitat in Ciherang Kehati Park. Indice Ponctuel d’Abondance methods were used for bird inventory, transect and patch sampling methods for amphibian, hand-capturing method for reptile, and line transect for mammals inventory. Direct observation was conducted to evaluate the habitat diversity. As a result, we identified 42 species of wildlife with diversity index of 3.318, evenness index of 0.888 and species richness index of 7,862. Birds are the most common species in this area, reaching 25 species (59%) of all animal species recorded, while there are five species of mammals, seven species of reptiles, and five species of amphibians.
The high diversity of wildlife species is possible because there are five types of habitats in the Kehati Park and its surroundings: river
habitats, riparian habitats, vegetation of Kehati Park, rice fields, and the yards of residents

In the last two decades, Sumateran tropical rain forest has been severely damaged by changing land-use, illegal logging, encroachment and forest fires. The rate of extinction of flora and fauna is very difficult to measure but is certainly on the rise. Ex-situ conservation is one of the ways to save species from extinction, especially if the conservation activities are
carried out at a location nearby the original habitats. Such a location is likely to have ecological conditions that match those of the original flora. Accordingly, the government has launched the development of new botanic gardens in various regions of Indonesia. One example of these newly established regional botanic gardens is Samosir Botanic Garden
(KRS), which is representative of the ecoregion of Northern Sumatera. The development of Samosir Botanical Garden aims to save various species of north Sumateran mountain flora from extinction, in particular species found on the large inland island of Samosir in Lake Toba and its surrounding areas. The method for development of the Samosir Botanic Garden includes planning; infrastructure development; plant exploration; establishment and management of collections; promotion; and cooperation with relevant stake-holders. By the end of 2015, Samosir Botanical Garden already had acollection of 99 species of flora planted out in the Garden. Another 155speciesarecurrently being preparedin the nursery. The planting concept for Samosir Botanic Garden is to combine elements of modern plant taxonomy with Batak ethnic understanding of the local flora and its uses. Samosir Botanic Garden has also been established as a new tourist attraction to complement Lake Toba ecotourism and the Geopark Toba which is being proposed as a world heritage location.

threatened species of flora in urban environment. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 3: 323-333. Industrial estate in Bogor regency is
growing fastly, and one of the fastest growing industry is Sub District of Gunung Putri. Policy of the local government in supporting
industrial estate is developing urban forest to improve environmental quality and conserving indigenous threatened species of flora. The
objective of this research is to identify the richness and diversity of flora in the urban forest of PT. AGM Gunung Putri and its impact on
the increase of richness and diversity of fauna. Census and geotagging of trees and field observation on fauna were conducted
throughout the urban forest area. The result concludes that urban forest of PT. AGM Gunung Putri can be categorized as urban
settlement forest, industrial urban forest and biodiversity conservation urban forest. Based on the distribution of tees, this urban forest
can be categorized as an aggregate urban forest. Until 2015, there are 72 species consisting of 397 trees. In general, there is an increase
of diversity index from 2,06 (2010) to 3,34 (2015). There are 1,4% species listed in red list IUCN as Endangered, 2,8% Vulnerable,
6,9% Least Concern, 1,4% Data Deficient and 87,5% Not Evaluated. Twenty-seven species of fauna were recorded consisting of two
species of mammals, five species of reptiles, seven species of aves and 13 species of insects. Diversity index of fauna community is 2,8.

Indonesia is a megabiodiversity country, but this diversity is threatened with extinction due to over-exploitation and unsustainable land-use practices. Biodiversity research is essential to provide a strong basis for planning the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable systems of land-use. The problem is that often the results of research are not accepted or understood by decision-makers, policy-makers and the public at large. This is caused by the gap between the perceptions and understanding of researchers with their scientific perspectives, and those of policy-makers with their bureaucratic perspectives and of the general public with their pressing livelihood needs. In this paper, we share experiences concerning socialization strategies for dissemination of the results of biodiversity research gained from working with the International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG) in the Mekongga mountains of southeast Sulawesi. The activities of the ICBG endeavored to build public awareness regarding the need for conservation efforts in the region. The socialization methods implemented by ICBG  included Focus Group Discussion (FGD); Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA); workshops; seminars; distribution of brochures, leaflets, posters and  banners; publication of books and release of news items in print and online media; as well as the training for empowerment of the local community. The activities involved a colaboration between researchers and public relations specialists. The results showed that the output of research can be understood by all parties, and recommendations were issued for a continuing synergy between them. The focus on the Mekongga mountains as a conservation area received wide support from all stake-holders, including local communities, local and central government, and national and international NGOs.

Gunawan H, Sugiarti. 2015. In situ conservation of javan mountain forest tree species in Babakan Pari Biodiversity Park, Sukabumi,
West Java. Pros Sem Nas Masy Biodiv Indon 1: 1364-1369. Conservation practices for indigenous and endangered tree species in
Indonesia are still rare. The government's efforts remain largely confined to national parks and botanical gardens and these are few in
number. For this reason, the creation of a biodiversity park by the private sector, with the purpose of ex situ conservation of indigenous
flora threatened by extinction, is a beneficial development for the future. The establishment of biodiversity parks aims to increase
biological diversity through the ex situ management of particular indigenous trees threatened with extinction. Parameters used for
measuring the biological diversity (in a defined area) are the number of tree species, a diversity index, and a species index. Results
obtained from our study in 2015, revealed that the Babakan Pari Biodiversity Park in West Java had assembled 107 tree species, 38 of
which are naturally distributed in mountain forests of Sukabumi District, such as: Agathis borneensis L., Altingia excelsa Noronha,
Cinnamomum verum J.Presl., Lithocarpus javensis Bl., Mangletia glauca Bl., Dracontomelon dao (Blanco) Merril & Rolfe dan Schima
wallichii (DC.) Korth. In general, the Babakan Pari Biodiversity Park has succeeded in increasing floral diversity in the locality. In Zone
1 of the park, there was an increase in species number from 18 (in 2010) to 77 in (2014), in the number of trees from 89 to 1423, in the
diversity index from 1.69 to 4.14 and in species index from 0.59 to 0.95. In Zone II, there was also an increase in species number from 8
(in 2010) to 48 (in 2015), in the number of trees from 28 to 763, in species index from 1.81 to 3.42 and in species index from 0.87 to 0.88.

ABSTRAK
Otonomi daerah membawa perubahan yang sangat mendasar pada pengelolaan sumberdaya hutan.  Otonomi daerah menjadi alasan pemekaran wilayah yang berimplikasi pada perubahan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW).  Sejak Undang-Undang No. 26 tahun 2007 tentang Tata Ruang diberlakukan, 22 pemerintah provinsi mengusulkan perubahan RTRW yang melibatkan perubahan fungsi dan peruntukan kawasan hutan.  Dari 10 provinsi di wilayah Wallacea (Sulut, Gorontalo, Sulteng, Sulsel, Sulbar, Sultra, Maluku, Malukua Utara, NTB dan NTT), hanya NTB dan Sulsel yang tidak mengusulkan perubahan RTRW.  Sementara NTT masih dalam proses penilaian Tim Terpadu.  Pasca revisi RTRW, luas hutan di wilayah Wallacea berkurang 1.376.227 Ha (6,24%), dari 22.066.089 Ha menjadi 20.689.862 Ha.  Meskipun demikian, luas kawasan konservasi justru bertambah 220.769 Ha (5,42%) yaitu dari 4.070.030 Ha menjadi 4.290.799 Ha.  Walaupun dari luasannya bertambah namun proses perubahan peruntukan kawasan konservasi yang terjadi menyebabkan dampak penting pada habitat, akibat proses-proses perubahan lanskap seperti perforaasi, pemotongan, fragmentasi, penyusutan dan erosi habitat yang berdampak pada penurunan dan kepunahan keanekaragaman hayati dalam jangka panjang.  Untuk itu perlu dipikirkan skema pencegahan kepunahan tersebut melalui pembentukan kawasan konservasi baru sebagai pengganti yang rusak dan hilang.  Ada tiga kawasan konservasi baru yang diusulkan di Sulawesi yaitu TN Nantu Boliyohutu, TN. Ganda Dewata dan TN. Mekongga.

Expeditions to the Mekongga mountain region were conducted by a team of Indonesian and American
researchers who were members of an NIH-funded ICBG (International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups) project. The
team has found that this region has tremendous richness of typical Sulawesi biodiversity. The findings have supported
a proposal for this region to become a national park. This proposal has also been supported by various stakeholders
including local governments of Kolaka and North Kolaka Districts and Southeast Sulawesi province government.
However, it still needs to go through a long administrative procedure with a final goal of designating the region as
a National Park by the Minister of Forestry. Meanwhile, support from parties should continue to be encouraged to
strengthen and accelerate the process of designation of Mekongga national park.

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara megabiodiversitas dunia karena kekayaan alam hayatinya yang melimpah. Kekayaan hayati tersebut merupakan modal dasar bagi pembangunan nasional. Oleh karena itu, kekayaan hayati tersebut harus dikelola secara berkelanjutan agar dapat dimanfaatkan bagi kemakmuran dan kesejahteraan bangsa lintas generasi. Keanekaragaman hayati Indonesia merupakan bagian dari keanekaragaman hayati dunia sehingga pengelolaannya tidak terlepas dari konvensi-konvensi internasional yang disepakati oleh negara-negara di dunia. Indonesia memiliki tanggung jawab moral dan komitmen yang kuat untuk melindungi, menjaga, dan melestarikan keanekaragaman hayati tersebut guna menjaga keseimbangan dan keharmonisan kehidup an manusia dengan alam lingkungannya. Salah satu bentuk komitmen tersebut adalah melakukan konservasi keanekaragaman hayati secara in situ dan ex situ dari tingkat gen, spesies, hingga ekosistem.
Pembangunan kebun raya adalah implementasi dari kebijakan nasional konservasi keanekaragaman hayati tumbuhan secara ex situ. Pembangunan kebun raya juga sinergi dengan program nasional lain, seperti meningkatkan ruang terbuka hijau dan peningkatan perekono mian daerah melalui pariwisata. Sampai tahun 2020, Indonesia sudah memiliki 43 kebun raya dengan luas keseluruhan sekitar 8.850,6 ha dan terdiri dari 5 unit kebun raya LIPI dan 38 unit kebun raya daerah.
Kebun Raya Cibinong, yang sebelumnya lebih dikenal dengan Ecopark, adalah kebun raya yang dibangun oleh Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) dengan konsep ekoregion. Konsep ekoregion, tidak hanya melestarikan spesies secara kelompok taksa, tetapi juga melestarikan karakteristik ekosistem wilayah di mana kebun raya tersebut dibangun. Konsep ekoregion menjadi inovasi dalam konservasi tumbuhan secara ex situ dengan cara meniru karakteristik ekosistem wilayah, khususnya formasi vegetasinya. Dengan konsep ekoregion ini, diharapkan kebun raya dapat lebih banyak memberikan fungsi dan manfaatnya bagi negeri ini. Hal ini karena selain dibangun dengan konsep ekoregion, kebun raya juga dilengkapi dengan sarana dan fasilitas untuk riset, edukasi, dan wisata yang memadai.

This This academic paper describes the ICBG (International Cooperative Biodiversity Group) research collaboration program between the University of California - Davis (UC DAVIS) and several institutions in Indonesia. These include the Forestry Research and Development Agency's (FORDA) Center for Conservation and Rehabilitation, the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), and the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). The research focuses on the Mekongga Mountains in Southeast Sulawesi, an area with significant biodiversity potential that has yet to be fully explored. The mountains are home to lowland and montane tropical rainforest ecosystems that are rich in endemic flora, fauna, and microbes. This study aims to identify and protect biodiversity in the area, as well as provide scientific and objective data as a basis for decision-making in changing the function of protected forest areas to conservation forests. The research method involved research, PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal), seminars, consultation with relevant parties, and secondary data study. The study's conclusion was that the function of protected forest areas should be changed to that of conservation forests in order to maintain the sustainability of the Mekongga Mountains ecosystem and the welfare of the surrounding community.

Sebagai negara megabiodiversitas, Indonesia memiliki 47 tipe ekosistem alami, baik daratan maupun di lautan. Keragaman ekosistem tersebut merupakan habitat ribuan spesies flora, fauna dan mikroba yang penting artinya bagi kehidupan. Namun sejalan dengan perubahan waktu, terjadi kerusakan lingkungan termasuk ekosistem akibat bencana alam maupun perilaku manusia, sehingga mengancam keberadaan keanekaragaman hayati Nusantara.  Untuk itu diperlukan upaya konservasi baik secara insitu maupun ex situ. Secara ex situ diantaranya melalui pembangunan kebun raya dan hutan kota. LIPI melalui Pusat Konservasi Tumbuhan Kebun Raya telah membangun beberapa kebun raya di daerah termasuk kebun raya di Cibinong, Kabupaten Bogor yang dikenal dengan Ecopark. Ecopark LIPI merupakan perluasan area penanaman Kebun Raya Bogor yang konsep penanamannya berdasarkan enam ecoregion yang ada di Indonesia. Ecoregion Jawa-Bali merupakan salah satu area penanaman jenis-jenis tumbuhan asal Jawa dan Bali yang ditata alami menyerupai hutan di Jawa Bali. Buku ini mendokumentasikan upaya pembangunan Ecoregion Jawa Bali sebagai fungsi konservasi, penelitian, edukasi dan ekoturisme yang melibatkan para pihak, yaitu Yayasan Kehati, KLHK dan Garuda Indonesia.

Batik telah menjadi icon Indonesia. Produk Indonesia yang telah ditetapkan UNESCO sebagai warisan budaya tak benda ini kembali menjadi “trend” dan berkembang masiv di Indonesia. Jika sebelumnya batik identik dengan sesuatu yang kuno, kondisinya kini terbalik. Batik menjadi produk yang digemari semua kalangan, anak-anak sampai dewasa. Dari bentuk, warna, motif dan sumber warna.
Sejalan dengan konsep pembangunan berkelanjutan dan pemanfaatan produk ramah lingkungan, batik mulai memanfaatkan sumber sumber pewarna alami, bahkan serat alami yang berasal dari tumbuhan di Indonesia. Negeri ini menyediakan beragam jenis tumbuhan pewarna untuk makanan, minuman sampai kain.
Penggunaan batik berbahan serat dan pewarna alami, merupakan bukti perkawinan dan pemanfaatan keanekaragaman hayati yang akan berdampak pada pelestarian keanekaragaman hayati dan pendapatan ekonomi masyarakat. Yayasan KEHATI sangat mendorong upaya masyarakat dalam mengembangkan added value biodiversity.
Harapannya, buku ini menjadi inspirasi bagi pembaca untuk mempraktekannya. Lebih-lebih sumber pewarna berasal dari tumbuhan yang mudah dijumpai di sekitar kita. Buku inimengajak kita agar lebih mencintai keanekaragaman hayati Indonesia yang telah menyediakan berjuta manfaat bagi kelangsungan hidup manusia.

Indonesia sudah dikenal karena kekayaan alam dan keragaman hayatinya, namun demikian sebagian besar belum dimanfaatkan secara maksimal oleh pemerintah daerah dan masyarakatnya. Hal ini kemungkinan disebabkan karena pemerintah daerah belum mengetahui potensinya atau belum dapat meningkatkan nilai tambah kekayaan hayatinya.
Selama periode Januari – Desember 2017, Kedeputian Bidang Ilmu Pengetahuan Hayati melalui Pusat Konservasi Tumbuhan Kebun Raya LIPI melaksanakan diseminasi ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi LIPI di daerah melibatkan berbagai satuan kerja di LIPI bekerja sama dengan Komisi VII Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Republik Indonesia. Selain memberikan
pelatihan teknologi sederhana yang sesuai serta edukasi tentang konservasi sumber daya hayati terutama secara ex situ berupa kebun raya, LIPI juga memberikan bibit tanaman, pupuk organik beserta peralatannya dan ikan yang jenisnya disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan dan kesesuaian daerah.
Pada periode 2017 tersebut, sebanyak 33 jenis tanaman, 49 varietas tanaman, empat jenis ikan dan pupuk organik/Pupuk Organik Hayati (POH) telah diberikan ke daerah dengan jumlah peserta sebanyak 7.800 orang. Kontribusi yang diberikan diharapkan dapat terus dilanjutkan untuk pengembangan daerah. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah daerah perlu
melakukan monitoring dan evaluasi dengan penunjukan koordinator kegiatan.
Buku ini dibuat untuk bahan referensi potensi daerah tertentu (21 provinsi, 50 kabupaten/kota, 69 desa/kelurahan, 69 kecamatan) yang dapat dikembangkan dengan teknologi sederhana yang dimiliki LIPI untuk pengembangan ekonomi daerah.

Rafflesia merupakan flora dilindungi berdasarkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 7 tahun 1999.  Semua anggota marga Rafflesia dikategorikan sebagai tumbuhan
dengan status genting (EN 3cd) dalam Red list IUCN 1994.  Populasinya menurun terus seiring dengan laju kehilangan hutan. Bila tidak segera ditangani maka dalam waktu dekat dikhawatirkan akan punah.  Upaya penyelematan flora langka yang menjadi maskot puspa langka ini diawali dengan penyusunan Strategi Rencana Aksi Konservasi (SRAK) Rafflesia Indonesia 2015-2025 ini. Strategi dan Rencana Aksi Konservasi Rafflesia ini harus menjadi acuan dan panduan semua pihak yang berkepentingan dengan upaya penyelamatan Rafflesia.  SRAK juga harus menjadi bahan pertimbangan dalam penataan ruang wilayah yang menyangkut kawasan hutan habitat Rafflesia.

Biodiversity conservation is a collective responsibility and its implementation is a consequence of sustainable development principle that has been applied by IndonesiaGovernment. Aqua Danone Group is a multinational company which produces bottled drinking water has been participate and contribute tot he sustainable development through “Aqua Lestari Program”. In line with the sustainability, Aqua Danone Group has also participated in a program award of company performance in environment management (PROPER). One of prerequisites to achieve green category in PROPER award is biodiversity conservation action. For those reason, Aqua Danone Group has developed BiodiversityParks (Taman Kehati) in Babakan Pari and Mekarsari Sukabumi Regency), Lido and Ciherang (Bogor Regency). The objectives of biodiversity park development are to collect and cultivate life specimens of threatened flora, to provide habitat for animals, to produce seedlings and genetic resources of local tree species, to provide area for education, research and development, science and ecotourism,to provide green open area and increasing vegetation land cover. Biodiversity Park development is including planning, development and management and monitoring, supported by environment education, conservation campaign, training and empowering local communities.The existence of Biodiversity Park in industrial area and settlement gave positive impact to biodiversity, environment and community through increasing diversity index of flora and fauna, providing amenity and aesthetics, and enabling environmental education for students studying at schools in the vicinity of the park
