One of the problems
to raise awareness about forest and primate conservation in Javan gibbon’s habitat are very limited information even more
there is no baseline species
diversity, ecology, spatial location and conservation status of the
protected species. All these information are useful if we use to talk with people in the
village to motivate them to conserve their biodiversity actually. The specific
aim of this activities are to mine information about biodiversity especially
wildlife that usually found in Kayupuring village area’s based on community
knowledge and their field observation, and we add more detail information on
their basic ecology and its conservation status, then we present on the village
biodiversity map.
This program is a part of Our Coffee and Primate
Conservation Project that funded by Fortwayne Children Zoo and Singapore Zoo,
cooperation with Wildlife Lab, Forest Resource Conservation Dept, Faculty of
Forestry, Gadjah Mada University, of Yogyakarta. Located at Kayupuring village, on 17-19
June 2014, we have meeting series
and guided by GIS expert from the university to discuss about wildlife that
usually found in their village and forest, than we ask them to describe as
clear as possible based on their field observation and we match this information
to the field guide book as scientific clarification. And finally we use Google
earth, to map wildlife encounter by the villagers.
