“…Specifically, in the gunungan wayang kulit purwa, animals interacting directly with Ficus trees are hornbills, monkeys, and squirrels. This description is consistent with the conditions in nature, showing that animals that often visit Ficus trees are monkeys, hornbills, and squirrels (Koli, 2016;Sengupta et al, 2020;Chong et al, 2022). Furthermore, the size of the canopy of Ficus trees is also proportional to absorbing carbon emissions and other pollutants harmful to the environment.…”

This study aims to explore the concepts of ecology and biodiversity, the value of environmental preservation in gunungan wayang kulit purwa, and its correlation to science learning or environmental education in a science subject at the junior high school level to increase environmental awareness. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. This research included ethnographic research associated with symbolic interpretation in anthropology. The informants of this study were a puppeteer (dalang), a javanology expert, a gunungan wayang kulit purwa creator, and a biodiversity expert chosen by purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, literature reviews, and content analysis. Data triangulation was applied to ensure the data validity. The data were analyzed using a spiral analysis model, including managing, reading, marking, describing, classifying, interpreting, and visualizing data continuously. The study results show that the gunungan wayang kulit purwa contains the conservation value and concept of ecology and biodiversity. This concept has a correlation with the material on ecology and biodiversity in the independent curriculum in a science subject at schools. The ecological concept includes biotic and abiotic components, symbiosis, pollinators and predators, food chains, food webs, competition, and the value of environmental preservation. The findings in the form of a link between ecological concepts and biodiversity in the gunungan wayang kulit purwa have implications for the potential use of gunungan wayang kulit purwa as a learning resource for science education in schools or environmental education to increase environmental awareness of the young generation.

“…Among the Asian hornbills, Oriental pied hornbills ( Anthracoceros albirostris ) have demonstrated incredible adaptability. All Asian hornbill species typically only inhabit forests; however, Oriental pied hornbills have been able to adapt to both semi-urban and rural areas [ 51 , 52 ], with reports of some individuals even nesting in clay jars instead of their usual tree crevice [ 53 ]. They have also adapted to a more diverse diet.…”

“…While most hornbill species are frugivorous, Oriental pied hornbills are omnivorous and often also predate on nests of other birds [ 43 , 54 , 55 ]. Their ability to adapt to variable environments has enabled them to overcome challenges, such as habitat loss and degradation, and to thrive in the urban environment in Singapore [ 51 , 55 ]. Alongside this, Asian hornbills such as the Oriental pied hornbill are often known for their unusual breeding behaviour.…”

Oriental pied hornbills (Anthracoceros albirostris) solve invisible displacement tasks in a test of Piagetian object permanence

Object permanence, the ability to mentally represent objects even when they are not directly accessible to the senses, is of vital importance for the survival of both human and non-human animals. The Oriental pied hornbill ( Anthracoceros albirostris ) is an Asian species of hornbill displaying remarkable adaptability in various environments, yet little is known about their cognitive abilities. Their breeding behaviour is unique, as the female hornbill seals herself inside a cavity before laying eggs and the male feeds her and their offspring without visual contact, strongly suggesting the presence of object permanence to some degree. In this study, six Oriental pied hornbills underwent testing for object permanence, including a series of seven standard Piagetian tasks involving visible and invisible displacements. The subjects consistently demonstrated spontaneous object permanence in all stages leading up to the invisible displacement stage. Half of the subjects achieved full stage 6 double invisible displacement Piagetian object permanence, while the other half reached stage 5 double visible displacement. Breeding behaviour and the duration of developmental stages are proposed as potential factors influencing object permanence ability in this species of hornbill.
