Hai #sakiSINTAS
Beberapa minggu yang lalu, kami berkesempatan berbagi cerita tentang pengenalan profesi di bidang konservasi di beberapa kampus yang ada di Kota Padang.
Semoga teman-teman semakin bersemangat untuk belajar tentang konservasi serta dapat ikut berkontribusi dalam upaya konservasi di Indonesia.
.
A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to share the wildlife conservation career at several universities in Padang City, including the Biology Department in Andalas University, the Faculty of Forestry in University of West Sumatra Muhammadiyah, and the Biology Department in Padang State University.
We hope that students will be more enthusiastic about conservation and be able to contribute to biodiversity conservation in Indonesia.

How scary is the owl #SakiSINTAS?
This owl is called a brown wood owl. This species can be found in dense tropical forests from along the coast to the hills, generally in the lowlands up to an altitude of 500 masl. The distribution area is from India, Myanmar, eastern Thailand, Sumatra, and Kalimantan. The size of the female is larger than the male. In addition, the brown wood owl weight ranges from 800 - 1100 grams. Feeds on small mammals, such as mice, rats, shrews, and small birds and reptiles. The brown wood owl is strictly nocturnal and relatively shy. The song of male is a single hoot, followed by a vibrating note who whoowwwwooh. Duration of first note 0.1 - 0.3 seconds. When its young are approached (e.g. by a troop of macaques), flapping its wings violently against foliage and threatening with bill-snapping, growls, hoarse hoots, huh huh huh, and a short barking wow wow wow. Begging-call of young a hoarse wheeze, quivering at end errrr.

Meskipun penelitian mengenai mamalia karnivora sudah sering dilakukan, namun ternyata untuk spesies karnivora kecil masih kurang mendapat perhatian. Salah satunya adalah binturong. Yuk cari tahu tentang binturong!
.
Although carnivoran mammals seem well studied and include many flagship species, most small carnivoran species receive little attention. This is the case for the binturong. Binturong belongs to the Viverridae family. Binturongs are the largest civet species, with a weight of 6 - 20 kg and a body length of up to 95 cm. It has thick black fur slightly frosted, often with a paler head. Found in both primary and secondary forests at various elevations, the Binturong is mostly arboreal but also frequently descends to the ground. This nocturnal creature is a strongly arboreal forest species feeding on invertebrates, small vertebrates and fruits. It may be predominantly frugivorous and feeds largely on various species of figs, making their potential role in tropical forest seed dispersal significant, but advanced studies are needed. The conservation status of binturong is vulnerable.

Tahun ini, kami melakukan pemasangan kamera pengintai di salah satu habitat macan tutul jawa yaitu di kawasan Cagar Biosfer Blambangan. Kegiatan ini terlaksana berkat dukungan dari BKSDA Jawa Timur dan juga Perhutani Divisi Regional Jawa Timur. Lokasi pemasangan tepatnya berada di kawasan Gunung Raung, Gunung Watu Gampit dan Gunung Rante.
.
This year, we had a chance to install some camera traps in one of the Javan leopard's habitats, the Blambangan Biosphere Reserve. This activity was fully supported by the East Java Nature Conservation Agency (BKSDA) and the Indonesian State Forestry Company East Java Regional Division. The location is in the area of Mount Raung, Mount Watu Gampit and Mount Rante.
The Monitoring was carried out in the rainy season. However, the weather was not a big deal for the team. Throughout the survey trip, the team also noted several leopard prints such as footprints, scratches, dirt and hair from leopards.
This monitoring is expected to be a baseline on the Javan leopard population in this biosphere reserve area. Hopefully the Javan leopard remains sustainable in its habitat.

Tim Panthera Malaysia melakukan kunjungan ke Banda Aceh pada tanggal 17 sampai 20 Oktober 2022. Seru sekali bisa saling berbagi informasi! Semoga kita bisa bertemu kembali di lain kesempatan ya!
.
Panthera Malaysia visited our site between 17th and 20th October 2022. It was held at the Banda Aceh office of the Leuser Conservation Forum (FKL). During the meeting, the three institutions discussed Panthera's work in Aceh and Malaysia. FKL and SINTAS Indonesia shared experiences about wild cats monitoring using camera traps in the Leuser Ecosystem, while Panthera Malaysia shared about The PoacherCams. This camera covertly captures human activities and sends images and locations to law enforcement officials in real-time via wireless networks. It is so pleased to be able to share knowledge and activities with other fellow conservationists! Hoping we can meet again another time!

Harimau sumatera merupakan hewan karnivora. Tapi, kenapa di kotorannya ditemukan daun-daun ya?
.
The sumatran tiger is a carnivore animal. However, why did we find grass on sumatran tiger faeces? The grass found on sumatran tiger faeces came from its prey. One of sumatran tiger prey is sambar deer. Sambar deer is a herbivore animal that feeds on plants or grass. Sumatran tigers produce grass in their faeces when they prey on sambar deer that have just eaten.

Apakah menurut #SakiSINTAS kambing hutan memiliki habitat yang sama dengan kambing biasa? Tentu saja tidak! Namanya juga kambing hutan, hidupnya ya di hutan hehe 🙂
Kambing hutan dapat ditemukan di hutan primer dan sekunder atau pada lereng dengan ketinggian 200 sampai 3000 mdpl.
.
#SakiSINTAS do you think Sumatran serow has the same habitat as the domestic lamb? The answer is no. Sumatran serow can be found in both primary and secondary forests or steep mountain slopes between 200 and 3000 masl. In Sumatra island, Sumatran serow is found in Gunung Leuser National Park, Kerinci Seblat National Park, and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. Sumatran serow inhabits a small area which is marked with trails, dung heaps, and scents. Suitable sheltered resting places in caves or under overhanging rocks and cliffs.

Kali ini mari kita kenalan sama rusa sambar. Rusa sambar dapat ditemukan pada berbagai tipe hutan, tipe lingkungan dan ketinggian. Rusa merupakan hewan herbivora atau pemakan tumbuhan. Memiliki diet yang fleksibel, mereka dapat beralih antara browser (pemakan tumbuhan tinggi) dan grazer (pemakan rumput) tergantung pada kondisi setempat.
.
Sambar deer can be found in various forest types, environmental conditions and altitudes. Sambar deer are herbivores that feed on plants. Having a flexible diet, sambar deer may switch between browser and grazer depending on local conditions. Active at any time of the day or night. Male have antlers up to 110 cm long and often three tines. Antlers are the branched horns on the head of an adult deer (typically a male one), which are made of bone and are grown and cast annually. Moreover, the weight of sambar deer is up to 350 kg.

Hai #sakiSINTAS
Apakah kalian pernah ketemu hewan yang satu ini?
Yes! Burung kuau raja atau yang dikenal dengan sebutan argus dapat ditemukan di hutan Peninsular Malaysia, Kalimantan, dan Sumatra. Burung ini memiliki bulu panjang yang sangat cantik dan bintik seperti mata pada bulunya.
.
Great argus or kuau can be found in the rainforest of the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, and Sumatra. The bird has beautiful long feathers and many eye spots on it. This species feeds on leaves, nuts, seeds, and invertebrates. Male great argus impresses the female by clearing a mating ring, before making a ringing call. When a female gets attracted, he will start dancing. Then he will raise his tail and spread his wings to form a vast fan.

Padang, West Sumatra 12nd - 13rd October 2022 West Sumatra Natural Resource Conservation Agency (BKSDA) and SINTAS Indonesia hosted the Training of Habitat Suitability Model for Translocated Sumatran Tiger. This training was for the Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) of Nature Resources and Ecosystem Conservation in Sumatra.
We used the Maximum Entropy application to model the suitable locations for Sumatran tigers previously rescued due to conflicts with humans. Through this modelling, we can identify the location based on the presence of tigers and their prey.
This training is the first step in conserving the Sumatran tiger. After that, we need to secure the release area. This action certainly need to be done simultaneously through collaboration with the community so that it will create human tiger coexistence.

Kamera trap Panthera merupakan salah satu alat rancangan dari partner kami, Panthera. Tidak seperti kamera trap lainnya, kamera ini bergantung pada teknologi dan dikhususkan untuk mengambil foto. Tahun lalu, tim ranger telah mendapatkan pelatihan mengenai metode pemasangan camera trap dan cara mengoperasikannya menggunakan smartphone Android. Pada bulan lalu, Meidina, project officer kami untuk survei kucing liar di Kawasan Ekosistem Leuser, memberikan pelatihan penyegaran metode dan pengambilan data di Stasiun Penelitian Soraya. Tujuan utamanya adalah untuk mengingatkan kembali tentang metode pemasangan kamera jebak, sekaligus pelatihan kepada anggota baru tim ranger.
.
Camera traps Panthera is a brand new camera trap from our partner, Panthera. Unlike the others, camera traps Panthera rely more on technology and only take photos. Last year, the team rangers got trained to install camera traps in the field and how to set up the camera trap by using an Android smartphone. Last month, Meidina, our leading officer for wild cats survey in Leuser Ecosystem, gave training on method and data sampling at Soraya Research Station. This training aims to refresh the installation of camera traps and train new members of the Panthera survey team.
