“…The expansion of rubber plantations in southwest China has caused the near extinction of the northern white-cheeked crested gibbon ( Nomascus leucogenys ) and the Hainan gibbon ( Nomascus hainanus ) ( 11 ). Similarly, deforestation due to the establishment of rubber plantations in India is reported to have severely affected the Bengal slow loris ( Nycticebus bengalensis ), the western hoolock gibbon ( Hoolock hoolock ), and Phayre’s langur ( Trachypithecus phayrei ) ( 11 , 12 ). Modeling the overlap between primate species’ distributions and forecasted future agricultural production for the 21st century indicates that regions predicted to undergo the greatest agricultural expansion over the next decades comprise 68% of the global area currently occupied by primates (Fig.…”

“…Such reports of forest degradation also echoed from the Bhadra Tiger Reserve, Biligiri Rangan Hills Temple Sanctuary, and Sariska National Park. These activities lead to poaching, jhum cultivation, construction, and developmental activities, which resulted in the extinction of some primates and other wildlife animals [22]. All these activities and resource use intensity lead to altered vegetation through time [23] resulting from reduced richness, regeneration, and density of forest trees [24].…”

Habitat loss due to human activities and climate change is synergistically posing serious threats to the global biodiversity leading to irreversible extinction of several species. In wake of recent extinction, several forests are declared as protected areas where no more human activities are allowed. However, the scope of these protected areas got broadened from mere conservation to poverty alleviation and sustainable development during the past decades. Though these protected areas seem to be supportive of the biodiversity conservation, several challenges and gaps have emerged that need to be addressed for effective conservation and sustainable management in these protected areas. Therefore, the present chapter aims to address the roles, challenges, and approaches for conservation, and sustainable management in protected areas of India. Based on the published literature, we have found that protected areas proved to be a successful strategy for the conservation of wild animals and plants. However, management of poaching, man-wildlife conflicts, funding, extensive resource use, and tourism is still a challenge for some national parks of the country. Although governmental policies have addressed some of these challenges, only limited success has been achieved so far. Therefore, further studies need to assess the efficiency of protected areas for biodiversity conservation and devise the mechanisms for effective sustainable management of these protected areas.

“…Satwaliar terdapat pada berbagai tipe habitat, baik habitat hutan maupun non hutan, termasuk daerah perairan dan pekarangan (Alikodra, 2010;Choudhury, 2013;Keenan et al, 2015). Habitat yang heterogen memberikan kemungkinan bagi beragam kelompok satwaliar, seperti burung dan primata untuk hidup berdampingan (Gibson et al, 2011;Mazumder, 2014).…”

“…Jenis-jenis tumbuhan pakan primata, seperti jenis cempedak (Arthocarpus integer, kedongdong hutan (Ficus fistulosa) dan kandis (Garcinia celebica) dapat ditemukan dikedua tipe hutan tersebut. Sebagian jenis primata yang ditemukan juga memiliki sifat adaptasi yang tinggi, yakni mampu bertahan pada hutan bekas penebangan (Kuhl et al, 2011;Mazumder, 2014), seperti monyet ekor panjang.…”

Penetapan 'umbrella species' dalam pelaksanaan konservasi satwaliar sangat penting agar berjalan secara efektif dan terarah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan informasi keanekaragaman jenis satwaliar (primata dan mamalia darat) pada berbagai tipe habitat dan jenis satwa 'umbrella species' untuk mendukung program konservasi di Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser (TNGL), bagian hulu Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Besitang. Penelitian dilaksanakan selama 6 bulan, Mei-Oktober 2015. Metode pengamatan menggunakan kombinasi variable circular-plot method dan transek berpetak. Jalur pengamatan di letakkan pada setiap tutupan lahan sepanjang 1.000 m dengan area teramati sekitar 5 ha. Penetapan 'umbrella species' dilakukan melalui pembobotan dengan merujuk pada kriteria dalam Departemen Kehutanan (2008). Primata yang teridenfikasi sebanyak 6 jenis sedangkan mamalia 16 jenis. Indeks keanekaragaman jenis primata dan mamalia termasuk kategori rendah sampai sedang dengan indeks kelimpahan sebesar 5,60-15,32. Jenis satwa yang banyak ditemukan adalah beruk Macaca nemestrina (Linnaeus, 1766) dan babi hutan Sus scrofa (Linnaeus, 1758). Berdasarkan kriteria penilaian dan pertimbangan potensi konflik yang tinggi ditetapkan jenis 'umbrella species' adalah gajah (Elephas maximus sumatranus Temminck, 1847). Implikasi konservasi yang direkomendasikan untuk dikembangkan dalam melindungi satwaliar langka, seperti gajah di sekitar TNGL diantaranya adalah meningkatkan penelitian distribusi dan populasi satwa, perlindungan habitat dan kantong-kantong populasi, mengembangkan database dan monitoring distribusi satwa dengan sistem informasi geografis (GIS), minimalisasi perburuan dan memperbaiki sistem penegakan hukum serta mitigasi konflik dengan satwa, seperti gajah dan orangutan.
