Abstract

A rapid bird survey was done in a small conservation area of industrial timber concession of PT BMH (Bumi Mekar Hijau), namely KPPN (Kawasan Pelestarian Plasma Nutfah), South Sumatra Province. The area has 448 ha, dominated by degraded secondary swamp forest surrounded by Acacia plantation. Three survey methods were applied to assess bird diversity in this area: transect line, mist-netting and audio-visual station recording. A total of 36 species was recorded during survey. Among three methods applied, transect line is the most effective method to detect more bird species (29 species), followed by audio-visual station recording (26 species) and mist-netting (three species). There are eight species which protected by Indonesian law and two birds are listed as Near Threatened (NT) by International Union for Conservation of Nature or IUCN. Although number of species birds recorded are not significance, but this area still support habitat for various birds diversity, and the forest remaining should be well-managed to support its conservation goals.

Abstract

The Sumatran Striped Rabbit (Nesolagus netscheri ) is  a naturally rare, which is a protected animal based on Government Regulation Number 7 of 1999 and renewal of Permen LHK No. P.106 which are categorized as Data Deficient  by the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) since 2019. Samples were obtained from Pagar Alam, South Sumatra. Most commonly found at elevations  above 600 m in montane and sub-montane primary habitat. Molecular genetic characterization of sumatran striped rabbit is to know genetic information and genetic identification of N. netscheri. Primers 12S rRNA were used in this study to characterize Sumatran striped rabbit. A 1 band were detected ranged from 900 to 1000 bp. Molecular markers represent reliable tools which may have a great impact in rabbit breeding and genetic improvement of rabbits. Molecular markers on Nesolagus netscheri is expected to tools in the identification of Sumatran striped rabbits from South Sumatra.
