“…Rural people of Cisokan watershed knew three kinds of tigers in the area, namely macan loreng or lodaya (Panthera tigris sondaica), macan tutul or macan totol (Panthera pardus melas), and macan kumbang (Panthera pardus) is a black panther of sub-species of panther. Panthera tigris sondaica was considered to be extinct in West Java region before 1980s (Whitten et al 1999;Iskandar 2014), but Panthera pardus was still found in the Cisokan upper watershed (Shanida et al 2018) Like most rural Sundanese people, rural people of Bojong Salam and Sukaresmi Villages have myths on tigers. They believe that the King of Pajajaran (Western Java), Prabu Siliwangi, transformed into a tiger after he died.…”

Abstract. Permana S, Iskandar J, Parikesit, Husodo T, Megantara EN, Partasasmita R. 2019. Changes of ecological wisdom of Sundanese People on conservation of wild animals: A case study in Upper Cisokan Watershed, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1284-1293. In the past Sundanese rural people had a very close relationship with the environment. They utilize natural resources based on traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and is strongly influenced by their perception of nature. This article elucidates the mythology of Sundanese rural people on wild animals and the changes of rural people perceptions and their behavior to wild animals in the rural ecosystem based on a case study in Bojong Salam and Sukaresmi villages, Rongga district, West Bandung, the upper Cisokan watershed, West Java. Method used in this study was qualitative, while some techniques, including observation, participant observation, and semi-structured interview were applied. The result of study showed that in the past Sundanese the rural people of Upper Cisokan watershed, West Bandung, West Java owned myths on some wild animals that is inherited from their ancestor through oral and using mother language. The influence of these myths on wild animals caused the rural people had prohibited to kill these animals and important role for traditional conservation. Nowadays, however, some myths on wild animals of rural people have not eroded or not recognized by young generations. Consequently, some taboos in hunting and catching animal based on myths on wild animals have tended not been applied to conserve wild animals traditionally. Therefore, to develop appropriate nature conservation, the biophysical, the socio-economic and cultural aspects must be holistically considered.

“…Leopards are particularly fond of areas that have trees for shelter and lurking activities as they are strong climbers (Gunawan et al 2012). Besides being found in natural forests, leopards in Cisokan are also found in production forests -pine forests where there are many human activities and planting coffee plants (Shanida et al 2018). According to Gunawan et al (2012), the Javan leopard does not only use pine forests exclusively as its main habitat, but it also uses other types of vegetation for its daily activities, even it uses caves, rocky outcrops, and grooves or dried rivers as its shelter.…”

Abstract. Husodo T, Febrianto P, Megantara EN, Shanida SS, Pujianto MP. 2019. Diversity of mammals in forest patches of Cisokan, Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1281-1288. Most species on Java, Indonesia are ecologically associated with or dependent on forests, the island’s high deforestation rates are a major threat to its species. Until now, various efforts to conserve mammals are still focused on natural ecosystems, such as forests. There has not been much research on mammals carried out specifically in non-conservation forest areas, whereas many regions in Indonesia have extensive community lands in the landscape and are directed to be areas that have a conservation function, besides still functioning as a production system. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the diversity of mammals that are still found in Cisokan especially those that have high conservation status and their habitat. Combination of several research methods applied, such as semi-structured interview, sign survey, direct observation, camera trapping, and collapsible trap. Mammalian diversity in the Cisokan forest patched is found in 26 species and among them are endangered species, such as Javan Leopard, Pangolin, and Slow Loris. These three species occupy diverse land cover from natural forest to human lands, such as production forests, settlements, rice fields, and agroforestry or mixed gardens. The existence of these species on human land has the potential for human-wildlife conflict, so it needs to be studied further in wildlife management in Cisokan.

“…In addition, interviews with residents of the Babakan Bandung village and other villages indicated some problems of leopards' feeding on people's dogs and goats (LIPI 2012). According to Shanida et al (2018a), leopard was found in Pasir Nangka, Pasir Laja, Sarongge, Batu Nagok, Pasir Taman, Batununggul, Cilengkong, Cisuren, Cigintung, Cileungsing, Cipanas, and Pasir Bedil/Japarana. The other protected species, Leopard cat was found in Datarmala, Pasir Bedil, Cirumamis, Cilengkong, Batununggul, Pasir Taman, Cigintung, Ciawitali, and Sarongge (Shanida et al 2018b).…”

Abstract. Husodo T, Shanida SS, Megantara EN. 2019. Biodiversity management plan in the non-conservation area, Cisokan hydropower plan area, Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 1524-1536. Based on data from various environmental studies at the Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage (UCPS) Hydropower plan area, further studies need to be carried out that can provide clearer guidance on how to protect and restore the environment (including habitat) around the UCPS, protect, and manage the endangered biodiversity through adaptive approaches and ecosystem management. One of these studies was the UCPS Biodiversity Management Plan (BMP). The aim of this study was to identify the strategy for biodiversity management at the project site. Methods of this study were based on several years of qualitative and descriptive-analytical studies, which updated information from earlier studies. Information on the area’s biodiversity was obtained directly through field surveys and indirectly through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) with local community members and other stakeholders in the area. This article presents the strategy for biodiversity management at project site, including minimizing habitat gap and habitat loss; expanding and enriching habitats; making corridors; protecting the natural forests (protection of remnant forest); controlling access; managing fire, the impact of traffic on native fauna, land clearing and human-wildlife conflict; minimizing impacts to biodiversity, particularly threatened species; integrating management with adjoining land managers (PLN, perhutani, the community); strengthening capacities for integrating and institutionalizing biodiversity conservation and management; conducting campaign for biodiversity awareness, communication, and education; and developing value-added products and alternative sustainable livelihood for bio-resource-dependent communities.
