Field Guide to the Primates of Indonesia


Book Description

This primate field guide can be used to refer to information on each species, or it can be used to find which species exist on each island, as shown at the back of the book. A list of primates in Indonesia is provided with local, English, and scientific names. Once the name is identified the user can go to the description of the genus and species. Also given is the conservation status of each species except for the most recently described, whose status is not yet known. The information on each species' natural history, behavior, ecology, and where to see it in parks and/or forested areas outside parks is included. Field Guide to the Primates of Indonesia primate drawings are by Stephen Nash and photographs were donated by many of the author's friends from Indonesia and abroad.




Monkeys on the Edge


Book Description

Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) have a wide geographical distribution and extensively overlap with human societies across southeast Asia, regularly utilizing the edges of secondary forest and inhabiting numerous anthropogenic environments, including temple grounds, cities and farmlands. Yet despite their apparent ubiquity across the region, there are striking gaps in our understanding of long-tailed macaque population ecology. This timely volume, a key resource for primatologists, anthropologists and conservationists, underlines the urgent need for comprehensive population studies on common macaques. Providing the first detailed look at research on this underexplored species, it unveils what is currently known about the population of M. fascicularis, explores the contexts and consequences of human-macaque sympatry and discusses the innovative programs being initiated to resolve human-macaque conflict across Asia. Spread throughout the book are boxed case studies that supplement the chapters and give a valuable insight into specific field studies on wild M. fascicularis populations.




Konservasi Biodiversitas, Teori dan Praktik di Indonesia


Book Description

Konservasi Biodiversitas di Indonesia Di tengah era globalisasi, aspek ekonomi seringkali menjadi fokus utama yang melenakan, menjadikan biodiversitas rentan terhadap tuntutan negara-negara maju yang telah lebih dulu menerapkan standar lingkungan yang tinggi pada hasil produksi mereka. Keadaan ini sering kali memaksa kita untuk mengadopsi kebijakan yang sesuai dengan tuntutan global, padahal banyak aspek mendasar yang perlu dipertimbangkan. Dalam buku "Konservasi Biodiversitas di Indonesia," Jatna Supriatna, seorang ahli konservasi sumber daya hayati dengan pengalaman puluhan tahun, menegaskan pentingnya pendekatan baru yang lebih integratif dan membumi untuk konservasi biodiversitas. Ia menyampaikan gagasan-gagasan inovatif tentang bagaimana mengelola dan memanfaatkan kekayaan hayati Indonesia—yang merupakan salah satu yang tertinggi di dunia—tanpa merusak lingkungan. Jatna mengusulkan penerapan teknologi terkini, pengadopsian kearifan lokal, serta inisiasi kebijakan pemerintah yang pro-lingkungan dan masyarakat. Dengan mengintegrasikan metode keilmuan konservasi yang berkelanjutan, buku ini menunjukkan bahwa bukan tidak mungkin Indonesia dapat berjalan seiring dengan tuntutan global, sambil tetap berpegang pada prinsip pembangunan yang berwawasan lingkungan. Buku ini menjadi panduan penting bagi semua pihak yang peduli terhadap keberlanjutan biodiversitas Indonesia, sekaligus menawarkan solusi praktis untuk menjaga kekayaan alam tanpa mengorbankan masa depan lingkungan dan masyarakat.




Indonesian Primates


Book Description

Indonesia possesses the second largest primate population in the world, with over 33 different primate species. Although Brazil possesses more primate species, Indonesia outranks it in terms of its diversity of primates, ranging from prosimians (slow lorises and tarsiers), to a multitude of Old World Monkey species (macaques, langurs, proboscis moneys) to lesser apes (siamangs, gibbons) and great apes (orangutans). The primates of Indonesia are distributed throughout the archipelago. Partly in response to the number of primates distributed throughout the Indonesian archipelago, Indonesia is classified as the home of two biodiversity hotspots (Wallacea and Sundaland). In order to be classified as a hotspot, an area must have a large proportion of endemic species coupled with a high degree of threat including having lost more than 70% of its original habitat. Two areas within Indonesia meet these criteria. The tremendous diversity of primates in Indonesia, in conjunction with the conservation issues facing the primates of this region, created a need for this volume.
