Fig plants (Ficus spp.) are considered as a key candidate to wildlife conservation in tropical rainforest for its potency on their microhabitat and food supply throughout the years. In this research, we focused only on the Ficus crassiramea (Miq.) Miq. To shows its role for hornbill conservation, we observed the different species of hornbill which visiting the trees and also we observed time, duration, frequency and activity of visits of the hornbill. For the purpose, four trees of F. crassiramea had been observed continuously for 6 d from 06.00 am to 05.00 pm in two fragmented tropical rainforest located in Penajam Paser Utara Regency, Borneo, Indonesia. The result showed, there were three species of hornbill which are visiting the plants in fruiting phase, namely Anthrococeros malayanus (Raffles, 1822), Anthrococeros albirostris (Shaw & Nodder, 1807), and Buceros rhinoceros (Linnaeus 1758) while fig tree in non-fruiting phase is only visiting by A. malayanus and A. albirostris. There is difference between A. malayanus, A. albirostris and B. rhinoceros in time, duration and frequency of visits on F. crassiramea. The most dominant activity of the third hornbill on F. crassiramea in fruiting phase are foraging rather than perched like on non-fruting phase tree. The result convinced the important of F. crassiramea as food source for hornbill conservation.

Poverty alleviation has become one of Indonesia's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets to be achieved by 2030, with poverty placed as a primary focus in national development. This study aims to compare the empowerment processes undertaken by  “Gerakan Ayo Kita Peduli “ and  “Pusat Kesejahteraan Sosial “ (Social Welfare Center, Puskesos) in Husein Sasatranegara, Bandung. The research employs a qualitative approach with a comparative model. The findings indicate that  “Gerakan Ayo Kita Peduli “ is more effective in providing empowerment due to its targeting of priority groups such as the elderly, orphans, and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise (UMKM) practitioners. The program also enhances community capacity through the establishment of  “Tokopeduli. “ On the other hand,  “Puskesos “ carries out planned activities through neighborhood deliberations (musyawarah kelurahan), but it has not effectively improved living standards due to limited human resources. Both initiatives can conduct evaluations and implement improvements to achieve more effective empowerment.  “Gerakan Ayo Kita Peduli “ should strengthen the educational aspect, while  “Puskesos “ should enhance collaboration and community involvement. Abstrak Pengentasan kemiskinan telah menjadi salah satu target Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) yang diupayakan Indonesia untuk dicapai pada tahun 2030 dengan menempatkan kemiskinan sebagai perhatian utama dalam pembangunan nasional. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan proses pemberdayaan yang dilakukan oleh Gerakan Ayo Kita Peduli dan Pusat Kesejahteraan Sosial (Puskesos) di Kelurahan Husein Sasatranegara, Bandung. Kajian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan model komparatif. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa Gerakan Ayo Kita Peduli lebih optimal dalam memberikan pemberdayaan karena menyasar kelompok prioritas seperti lansia, yatim dhuafa, dan penggiat UMKM. Program ini juga meningkatkan kapasitas masyarakat dengan pembentukan Tokopeduli. Puskesos juga memiliki kegiatan terencana melalui musyawarah kelurahan, namun belum efektif meningkatkan taraf hidup karena keterbatasan sumber daya manusia. Keduanya dapat melakukan evaluasi dan perbaikan untuk mencapai pemberdayaan yang lebih efektif. Gerakan Ayo Kita Peduli perkuat aspek pendidikan, sementara Puskesos tingkatkan kolaborasi dan keterlibatan masyarakat.
