“…Jumlah pakan yang dikonsumsi tergantung pada jenis kelamin dimana hasil penelitian Sawitri dan Takandjandji (2016) dan Francis Cabana et al (2017) Finke (2015), pemberian pakan yang berkualitas berpengaruh pada pertambahan berat badan badan, dimana pakan yang baik akan mempercepat laju pertumbuhan yang optimal. Konsumsi bahan segar dan bahan kering pada perlakuan C (Tabel 4) adalah yang tertinggi, demikian pula pada konsumsi energi bruto, sehingga trenggiling yang mendapatkan perlakuan pakan C mempunyai rata-rata pertambahan berat badan yang tertinggi.…”

The use of alternative feed for Sunda pangolin in captivity is one way to cope with a shortage of feed. The aims of the research was to determine the impact of the use of alternative feed toward feed consumption and daily weight gain of pangolin in captivity. The research was conducted at Research Forest Dramaga, Bogor. The research material used by 4 individual pangolin consists of 2 males and 2 females with an average weight of 4.28 ± 0.22 kg. Research using 4x4 Latin Square Design, with 7 days of preliminary period and 14 days of data collection. The treatment applied were 4 alternative feeding i.e A= 50% kroto + 50% egg; B= 50% kroto + 50% tofu; C= 50% kroto + 20% egg + 30% tofu; D= 50% kroto + 18% egg + 26% tofu + 6% termites. The results showed that the effect of alternative feed not significantly (P<0.05) on feed consumption and body weight gain pangolin. Pangolin with treatment C consumed feed based on dry matter as much as 63.08 grams per day or 10.46% from body weight and the biggest weight gain 35.0 grams per individual per day.

“…Moreover, pangolins' biological and ecological characteristics also make them vulnerable to threats as they have a slow reproduction rate and are easy to hunt (Pantel and Anak 2010;Challender et al 2019). Among the eight species of pangolin worldwide, the Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica) and Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) are two of the most widely traded, usually to supply the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and as delicacies in China (Cabana et al 2017;Xing et al 2020). Although it was scientifically proven that its scales and meat have no medicinal properties (Jin et al 2021), the uses of pangolin's derivatives in traditional medicines in Asia are mostly due to cultural beliefs (Xing et al 2020).…”

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species listed Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica) as critically endangered and remained among the most traded mammals and other pangolin species. In Malaysia, various conservation works on this species have been conducted these past years through government and NGO works. Nevertheless, their population is still declining despite all the efforts. To date, little to nothing is known about the local perception regarding the Sunda pangolin conservation. Therefore, through the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) approach, this study evaluates Sabahan’s awareness level regarding the Sunda pangolin conservation. A total of 109 respondents were interviewed from all across Malaysia to investigate their perception of Sunda Pangolin conservation. The KAP index score shows that respondents’ attitude toward Sunda Pangolin conservation is the highest (93.34%), followed by Knowledge (81.15%) and Practice (79.63%), of which all three fall within good KAP score. They also agreed that spreading awareness and being proactive in supporting conservation work helps to prevent this species from extinction. Interestingly, the correlation analysis using Spearman rho’s coefficient shows a positive relationship between KA and education but not for Practice. Generally, Malaysians had a positive understanding of the Sunda pangolin’s current status and the legal information regarding this species. This research may help improve species conservation strategies, particularly in Sabah, Malaysia. There is an urgent need to improve the Sunda pangolin conservation program in the future. Factors that influence Practice needs to be identified and scrutinized. Public awareness is not the only factor that needs to be considered for improvement in conservation works. More importantly, the people who work in the conservation field.
