Abstract. Safe’I R, Latumahina FS, Dewi BS, Ardiansyah F. 2021. Short Communication: Assessing the state and change of forest health of the proposed arboretum in Wan Abdul Rachman Grand Forest Park, Lampung, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 2072-2077. Forest health is the fundamental of sustainable forest management. As such, forest health needs to be continually monitored and maintained. This study assessed the state and change of forest health of the prospective arboretum in Wan Abdul Rachman Grand Forest Park (Tahura WAR), Lampung, Indonesia, aiming that the arboretum can serve for integrated conservation and education forest (Tahura War). This research used the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method by combining the parameters of vitality (i.e., tree damage and tree crown condition) and biodiversity (tree species diversity) across four Forest Health Monitoring plot clusters. The results showed there was a change in the state of forest health of the prospective arboretum in Tahura WAR. The first measurement showed that 50% of plot clusters had a status of bad, while 25% was moderate and 25% was good. The results of the second measurement showed that 50% of plot clusters had a status of moderate, while 25% was bad and 25% was good. This finding suggests that the prospective arboretum experienced changes toward better conditions in health status. Even so, it is still necessary to carry out regular forest health monitoring activities to determine trends.

ABSTRAKGunung Madu Plantations (GMP) membangun penangkaran rusa sebagai salah satu upaya konservasi ex-situ bagi rusa sambar dan rusa totol, satwa pada habitat aslinya dalam kondisi terancam punah sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya konservasi ex-situ. Perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui tingkat kesukaan dan ketersediaan pakan alami dan drop in di dalam penangkaran. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada Bulan Oktober sampai November 2015 di Penangkaran Rusa GMP. Metode yang digunakan yaitu palatability test method dan direct observation method terhadap 8 ekor rusa sambar (Cervus unicolor) dan 10 ekor rusa totol (Axis axis). Berdasarkan hasil preferensi pakan rusa yaitu rumput gajah (Pennisetum purpureum) 25.9 %, rumput sauhen (Penicum colonum) 22.25%, rayutan (Hypoestes polythyrsa) 21.87%, lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) 21.24% and dedak padi (Dedak oriza sativa) 8.74%.Kata Kunci: Preferensi, Penangkaran, Rusa Sambar, Rusa totol. ABSTRACT Gunung Madu Plantations (GMP) has built deer sanctuary as a part of conservation effort for sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) and spotted deer (Axis axis), this faunas has suppresed by extinction in its natural habitat which means need to be protected by ex-situ concervation effort. Important to conduct the research with aimed to recognize deer's preference towards its served feeder (drop-in) and its availability. The research conducted in October to

Avifauna is one of the biodiversity that has a role in the ecosystem, namely as a seed spreader, helps pollination, and as an environmental bioindicator. The Elephant Training Center (PLG) is not only a conservation centre for Sumatran elephants but also serves as a habitat and preserves the diversity of all animals including avifauna species. One form of conservation efforts towards avifauna is to record the diversity of the avifauna species present in that location. This study aims to determine the diversity of bird species found in the Way Kambas National Park PLG. The study was conducted using the point count method at three observation locations: garden area, grassland, and swamp area with three repetitions. The results of the study found 33 species from 21 families (727 individuals) with moderate species diversity values (1 <H '<3). The diversity of bird species affects the existence of some species in a habitat so that it affects the quality of habitat and plays an important role as a bioindicator in an ecosystem. Bird conservation efforts need to be carried out and supported by all parties to maintain the existence of birds in their natural habitat.Key words: Avifauna, diversity, conservation, national park, elephant training center.

Gunung Madu Plantations (GMP) Inc. contained  high biodiversity, one of  that is water birds in its plantation. Division I and Division II are known as the places where diverse water birds inhabited. Gunung Madu Plantation Inc. It self didn’t have database of water birds biodiversity yet. According to these, the research  need to be done to analyze water birds biodiversity in Division I and Division II of GMP Inc. The research was conducted in October-November 2015, which used of  point count method. The study showed about 10 species were found with total individual about 3420  individual, which included within 4 families; Ardeidae, Alcedinidae, Anatidae and Rallidae. The biodiversity index about (H’=2,137), which categorized as mediocre level, in stable condition and eveness point about (J=0,928).                                                     Keywords: biodiversity, water birds, point count

Background: Nowadays, pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is still a major global cause of death. Indonesia is a country with a high burden of the disease and is ranked second as a contributor to tuberculosis in the world after India, China, the Philippines, and Pakistan [1] along with the phenomenon of deforestation [2] and global warming [3]. Forest restoration and reforestation are considered costeffective nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation and mitigation to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, provide habitat for species and balance temperatures.Methods: There is no research data on the contribution of the economic value of reforestation to reduce the incidence rate of infectious diseases especially for TB, which is very important for mitigating against the global warming. This research was conducted to determine the economic value of ecosystem services as compensation for the reforestation program. This research was carried out in Lampung
