Landscape ecology and urban biodiversity in tropical Indonesian cities

Abstract: Indonesia has recently been faced with a number of great problems: poverty, natural disasters such as tsunami, earthquakes, flooding and typhoons, volcanic eruptions, loss of biodiversity, decreasing water quality and quantity, increased pollution, and aesthetic degradation of the landscape. These disturbances have been caused by rapid changes in land use and land cover, deforestation, the application of monoculture farming systems in commercial agriculture, urbanization, industrialization, and other types of … Show more

“…Moreover, we also deployed the Indonesian natural product compounds for virtual screening purpose to find the suitable lead compounds for combating Ebola. The reason for choosing the Indonesian natural product compounds because of Indonesia, as one of the largest megadiversity countries, has no less than 38,000 flowering plants that grow around the nation, with 55% of them are endemic plants [51,52].…”

“…Interestingly, the effects of roadsides and wetland detention basins relative to conventional counterparts were infrequently studied when compared to other GI types despite their high frequency and importance in urban environments. Road ecology has been a field of study for several decades and previously research has highlighted that when managed, can be rich in both native and planted species (Arenas, Escudero, Mola, & Casado, 2017;Arifin & Nakagoshi, 2011). Further exploration of the potential to vegetate roadsides could have significant effects on biodiversity because of the large area they occupy in cities and high degree of connectivity roadways share to natural habitat or other GI types (von der Lippe & Kowarik, 2008).…”

“…Improved management is essential to retain resilience in the face of global climate change and ongoing urban development pressures and to build a sustainable city. The Indonesian government has ratified a law to ensure that cities retain a minimum area of 30% green open space to provide for these important ecological services (Arifin and Nakagoshi 2011). Good management of natural open spaces will unlock indirect job opportunities in the tourism sector and enable potential economic spin-offs and social well-being.…”
