Abstract. Pattiselanno F, Apituley JRM, Arobaya AYS, Koibur JF. 2019. Short Communication: Using wildlife for local livelihood – Experiences from the Bird’s Head Peninsula, West Papua, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1839-1845. Wildlife products are valuable commodities, and wild meat is considered as premium value because it has a high value per unit weight compared with other forest products Wildlife products are commonly used for consumption purpose, generating household income and cultural reasons. Because cultural values differ among ethnic groups, it is important to understand how wildlife contributes to local livelihoods in different areas of the Bird’s Head Peninsula. Data was obtained opportunistically during fieldwork to different parts of West Papua Province from 2010 to 2018. Study sites were not intentionally selected, but they were considered during the involvement of authors in research and survey across the Bird’s Head Peninsula of West Papua Province Data was collected through indirect observation and semi-structural interviews. A literature review was also completed to supplement the primary data collected from the fieldwork. The results indicated many people rely on wild meat as an alternative source of food for the household. Wildlife also offered forms of income generation such as sale of bushmeat products. Acquisition of animal parts as cultural artifacts, for personal adornment or for trophies was still a widespread practice throughout the areas. Religious and cultural aspects also contributed significantly to the use of wild meat for traditional or spiritual aspects as well. Finally, some reasons have been identified that derive peoples’ attitudes in using wildlife across the Bird’s Head Peninsula, and they are for consumption, sale and the relationship between wild animal species and cultural values.

We conducted a study in eleven villages in the West

Deer is a wild animal that has economi value and can be utilized by the commnity as a source of protein of animal origin so that the deer can be breed by the communty. In papua deer have been cultivated or breed in a relativery large scare. The purpose of cultivation or captivity is to know the daily behavior or deer timor (Cervus timorensis) in brooder breeding condtion with large numbers of pet populations. The time of study for ±one month is from the beginning of september to the and of september 2017. Using 10 sample from 24 deer in breeding, 3 aduit males, 2 young males, 3 adult females and 1 young females and 1 culf. Using time observation method with observation technique. Analyze data using exel to find the percen tage of social activity from each time period. Each time period was divided into I 06:00-08:00(6,48%); II 08:00-10:00(25,93%); III 10:00-12:00(19,44%); IV 12:00-14:00(7,41%); V 14:00-16:00(6,48) and VI 16:00-18:00(34,26). Our findings showed that social activity/interaction in group much more observed in the afternoon.

INTISARILima ekor betina Kanguru Pohon Kelabu (Dendrologus inustus) dewasa dengan rerata umur 1 s/d 2,5 tahun, bobot badan 10,83 kg dan panjang tubuh 72,8 cm, dibedah memakai peralatan bedah dan diambil organ reproduksinya. Karakteristik organ reproduksi didokumentasikan dengan kamera digital, diukur dan ditimbang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi eksperimen deskriptif dengan teknik studi kasus. Analisis data menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan korelasi bagi beberapa informasi yang dibutuhkan lalu ditampilkan dalam nilai rerata dan standar deviasi (SD). Hasil pengamatan diperoleh panjang organ reproduksi betina D. inustus berkisar 18,88±0,78 cm (kiri) dan 19,00±0,78 cm (kanan) dengan panjang ovarium berkisar 1cm (kiri/kanan) dengan berat berkisar 0,59±0,85 g (kiri) dan 1g (kanan). Diameter dan panjang tuba fallopi, cornu uteri, corpus uteri, dan serviks masing-masing adalah: 0,57±0,01 mm (kiri) dan 0,60±0,01 mm (kanan), dan 3,00 (kiri) dan 3,26±0,18 cm (kanan); 0,54±0,02 mm (kiri) dan 0,56±0,02 mm (kanan), dan 4cm (kiri) dan 4,8±0,45 cm (kanan); 1,16±0,09 mm (kiri) dan 1,3±0,12 mm (kanan), dan 1cm; 0,3mm (kiri/kanan) dan 3cm (kiri/kanan), sedangkan panjang vagina dan vulva berturut-turut adalah 4 dan 2 cm. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa bentuk dan model organ reproduksi D. inustus menyerupai organ betina mamalia umumnya, namun semua organ berjumlah dua dengan sekat yang tampak jelas serta ukurannya yang berbeda. (Kata kunci: Kanguru Pohon Kelabu, Organ reproduksi betina)ABSTRACT Five females of 1 up to 2.5 years old Gray Tree Kangaroo (Dendrologus inustus), 10.83 kg body weight and 72.8 cm body length were dissected, and then the reproductive organ were observed for its morphology, length, and weight using digital camera, tape measured and scale. This study used experimental studies-descriptive case study technique, statistical analytic and correlation displayed in the average value and standard deviation (SD). The length of female D. inustus reproductive organ was 18. 88±0.78 cm (left) and 19.00±0.78 cm (right). The length of ovarian was 1 cm (left/right), the weights of left and right of ovarian weight were 0.59±0.85 g (left) and 1 g (right), respectively. Diameter and length of fallopian tube, uterine horn, corpus uteri, and cervical were 0.57±0.01 mm (left) and 0.60±0.01 mm (right) and 3.00 cm (left) and 3.26±0.18 cm (right); 0.54±0.02 mm (left) and 0.56±0.02 mm (right) and 4 cm (left) and 4.8±0.45 cm (right); 1.16±0.09 mm (left) and 1.3±0.12 mm (right) and 1 cm (left/right); 0.3 mm (left/right) and 3 cm (left/right), respectively. Length of vagina and vulva were 4 and 2 cm, respectively. The result showed that shape and model of D. inustus reproductive organs were similar with the mammalian female reproductive organs in general but all of the organs have two sparated parts with different sizes.
