Husodo T, Megantara EN, Mutaqin AZ, Kendarto DR, Wulandari I, Shanida SS. 2024. The protection effort of leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis Kerr, 1792) in the Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 169-176. Humans develop various infrastructures to meet electricity needs so that it is to improve human welfare besides the increasing population. Hydropower development cannot be separated from land clearing, which damages and eliminates the habitats of wild animals, including leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis Kerr, 1792). Humans also cleared land as agricultural land to fulfill their needs. Fulfilling the needs of electricity and agriculture is necessary to improve human welfare. Besides, leopard cats need a suitable habitat to meet their needs. Therefore, protection effort is required to fulfill leopard cats' and humans' needs. The study aims to reveal the protection efforts in the Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage, West Java, Indonesia. A qualitative approach was applied through literature reviews. The protection effort of leopard cats was conducted through stakeholder participation in the UCPS area. As the initiator, Indonesia Hydropower Company (PT. PLN) involves various stakeholders related to the construction of the UCPS hydropower plant, including Perum Perhutani, contractors, and the local people. Indonesia Hydropower Company (PT. PLN) protects leopard cats by managing the impacts produced by the UCPS hydropower plant and biodiversity.
... Studies on the ecology of leopard cat have been carried out in Java. The leopard cat has been studied in the UCPS hydropower development area by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (2012), Meijaard and Ferguson (2014), PPSDAL (2017), Shanida et al. (2018), Husodo et al. (2019a), Husodo et al. (2019b), Husodo et al. (2019c), and Megantara et al. (2019). Leopard cats were also found in the Ciletuh Geopark, Kamojang, Mount Salak, and Darajat, West Java (Megantara et al. 2019;Husodo et al. 2019b). ...
Shanida SS, Megantara EN, Husodo T, Mutaqin AZ, Kendarto DR, Wulandari I. 2023.Habitat preference of leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis Kerr. 1792) in the Cisokan Hydropower Development Area, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 2284-2293. Leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensisKerr. 1792) can occupy various habitats, including degraded and human-modified landscapes such as agricultural lands, plantations, and settlements. Nonetheless, there is little information about their responses to infrastructure development impacts the habitat preference of leopard cats. This study aims to reveal the habitat preferences of leopard cats in the Upper Cisokan Pumped Storage (UCPS) hydropower development area, Cianjur Regency and West Bandung Regency, West Java. Direct observation was conducted to collect habitat preference in terms of biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic parameters and analyzed using Vanderploeg and Scavia's Resource Selection Index (VSI). The results showed that in term of biotic factors, leopard cats preferred natural forests, shrubs, and rice fields; tree canopy area of ??51%-75%, tree DBH >20 cm, tree height 0-5 m and 11-15 m, and tree density of 0-20 trees. Leopard cats preferred 76%-100% shrubs canopy; ground-plant cover of 26%-75% with withered grass cover of 76%-100%. According to their abiotic factors, leopard cats preferred habitats with north and south, gentle, and lower slopes. The leopard cats also preferred habitat with wet soil. In term of anthropogenic factors, leopard cats preferred habitat close to water sources (<500 m). Leopard cats chose habitats with moderate distances (500 m-1000 m) from anthropogenic disturbances with weak intensity. Agricultural activities could affect its habitat preference directly. Leopard cats were found at various levels of disturbance in human-modified lands, such as rice fields and shrublands. Since the main prey is cosmopolitan animals, as long as there is human-modified land, prey availability will remain guaranteed. Although the leopard cat can tolerate anthropogenic disturbances, there is little information on the direct impact of construction activities on this population, so further research is needed to observe their population and habitat in the construction area.
... Studies on the ecology of leopard cats have been carried out, specifically on Java. The studies of leopard cats have been studied in the UCPS hydropower development area by Husodo et al. (2019a), , Megantara et al. (2019), The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (2012), Meijaard and Ferguson (2014), PPSDAL (2014), PPSDAL (2017), and Shanida et al. (2018).

Globally, leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis) can be found in various land cover types. Information about leopard cats is still low in Indonesia, especially in Java. Java Island has high human activities that impact leopard cats, such as the UCPS hydropower development area, a non-conservation area. The UCPS hydropower plant is in the upper catchment area of the Cisokan River as a tributary of the Citarum River. Although leopard cats can adapt to various land cover types, monitoring their existence is necessary. This study aims to reveal the distribution of leopard cats in the UCPS hydropower development area, Cianjur Regency and West Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Sign survey and literature were applied in this study. Fifty-eight leopard cat findings were found in the UCPS hydropower area. Leopard cats were found in 16 of the 47 grids from 2012-2022. After 5-10 years, leopard cats still use the same area in certain areas to meet their needs. In eight of 16 grids, 50% of the grids used by leopard cats were habitats used repeatedly. They were most commonly found in shrubs (39%), riparian (20%), and pine plantations (15%). Leopard cats were located at 445-895 masl and are most commonly found at 400-800 masl. Leopard cats are found in the UCPS development area and Perhutani Land. After 5-10 years, leopard cats still use the UCPS development area, so the habitat still fulfils their daily needs. Further monitoring is needed to determine the ecological status of the leopard cat population during the construction and post-construction process.
... The population increase will affect land-use change processes such as forest clearing for agriculture, settlement, and infrastructure expansion, causing deforestation (Prasetyo et al., 2011). A present forest remains in Java, covering around 7% of the land area (Husodo et al., 2019). With natural forest covering just under 10% of the total area (Imron & Djuwantoko, 2003) and less than 10% of Java's land remaining forest remainder is primarily a mosaic of rice fields, urban areas, and villages (Whitten et al., 1999). ...
Java Island is one of the tropical areas for bird migration, especially the Asian-Australian flyway of migratory birds. The SMETF is one of the protected forest areas that migratory birds can visit in Java. This research aims to identify migratory birds in SMETF. Transect and point count methods are used to observe migratory bird movements and their activities. In the research area, four migratory birds were identified: Ficedula zanthopygia, Agropsar sturninus, Pernis ptilorhynchus o., and Accipiter soloensis. The first and second species showed many activities for four months from October 2020 to January 2021, and this is an indication that both are using the research site as a wintering habitat. The activities of the Pernis ptilorhynchus o., Accipiter soloensis were dominated by flying "flock" over the forest. Only the Pernis ptilorhynchus was observed carrying out hunting activities, indicating that this bird uses the area as a stopover area. This research also identified illegal hunting techniques, such as ngaleugeut and mikat, as severe threats to migratory birds in the SMETF.
... 1). Previous records on the island were based on reports by local people (Yossa et al., 1991;Husodo et al., 2019), tracks and spraints found in the vicinity of slow-flowing rivers, narrow mountain creeks, irrigation channels and rice fields, all in western Java (Melisch et al., 1996;Megantara et al., 2019). Live individuals were sighted near drainage channels in southern Jakarta (Meijaard, 2014) and photographed by camera traps in Cisokan , both also in western Java. ...
The knowledge about the distribution of the Small-clawed Otter Aonyx cinereus on the Indonesian island of Java largely dates to the 20th century. We present the easternmost photographic evidence for its presence on Java. A camera trapping survey in 2018 yielded 28 notionally independent events of the Small-clawed Otter in a mangrove ecotourism site located east of the city of Surabaya. Most of these events show solitary individuals at night. Two duos were recorded in fishponds, and family groups between mid-November and end of December. The mangrove habitat along the coastline of this site is polluted by plastic waste, and microplastic entered the food chain through molluscs and fish, the main prey of the Small-clawed Otter. Further surveys are warranted to determine the distribution and conservation needs of the Small-clawed Otter in coastal wetlands of eastern Java.
... Although we did not report grizzled langurs in coffee gardens, it is possible that they forage on other crops (e.g., fruit trees) in proximity to the forest and we did not detect them with our camera traps. There are surprisingly few data on the distribution and habitat use of the Sunda porcupine on Java, but camera trapping studies do suggest they are occasionally found in more open or regenerating habitats over a large altitudinal range [47][48][49][50]. ...
Complex agroforestry systems can host similar biodiversity levels to adjacent continuous forests and can offer important ecosystem services for wildlife. Species inhabiting adjacent forests, as well as species that prefer agroforestry systems, can benefit from this habitat matrix. It is necessary, however, to understand the species-specific adaptability to such a complex matrix. Indonesia is a biodiversity hotspot and hosts many endemic species that are threatened with extinction. Its human population relies heavily on agriculture, meaning that finding a balance between crop productivity and biodiversity is key for the long-term sustainability of local communities and wildlife. We aim to determine the influence of the presence of shade trees and distance to the forest on the detection rates of wildlife in coffee home gardens. In West Java, Indonesia, we monitored 23 gardens between April 2018 and March 2021 via camera traps, totalling 3856 days of monitoring in shade-grown and 3338 days in sun-exposed gardens. We also collected data in the nearby montane rainforest, totalling 1183 days of monitoring. We used Generalized Additive Models to estimate the influence of shade cover and distance to the forest on the detection rates of wildlife. The Sunda leopard cat Prionailurus javanensis was found more frequently in shade-grown gardens and used both the forest and agroforest matrix. Wild boars Sus scrofa mostly occurred in gardens adjacent to the forest, while barred buttonquails Turnix suscitator were associated with gardens far (>1 km) from the forest. Several species (civets Viverricula indica and Paradoxus musangus javanicus, Horsfield’s treeshrew Tupaia javanica, Javan ferret badger Melogale orientalis, Javan mongoose Herpestes javanicus) were not influenced by shade cover and distance to the forest, suggesting they are well adapted to the agroforestry system. Still, species of high conservation importance, such as Javan leopard Panthera pardus melas, Sunda porcupine Hystrix javanica, and grizzled langur Presbytis comata, were present in the forest but not in the agroforest, suggesting that the replacement of the forest by the agroforestry matrix is still detrimental. Nevertheless, it is important to maintain the complexity of the agroforestry system and connectivity with the neighbouring continuous forest to favour the long-term sustainability of this environment and the conservation of endemic species.
... Indonesia's rate of deforestation reached 1.3 million per year between 2000 and 2012 (Wegscheider et al. 2018). The primary factor causing forest deforestation includes the expansion of small-scale agriculture (Mutolib et al. 2017;Austin et al. 2019), oil palm plantation (Eldeeb et al. 2015, Vijay et al. 2016), illegal logging (Khalid et al. 2019), corruption (Eldeeb 2015;Pachmann 2018), granting of forest concession (Santika et al. 2017;Chen 2019), and human settlement Husodo et al. 2019). ...
Forest conversion in Dharmasraya District massively occurred from 2000 to 2014. In 2000, forest area reached 86% of 33,550 ha. In 2014, forest cover reduced to only 16% with an increase in plantation area (rubber and oil palm), covering 59% of the total area. This study was aimed to examine the perception, attitude, and motive of the local community regarding forest conversion to the plantation. This study was located in PFMU (Production Forest Management Unit) Dharmasraya West Sumatra, which included a production forest area. This study was conducted from February to August 2018 with a case study approach. A total of 40 households, was selected as respondents. Snowball sampling was applied to interview the key informants. Data were analyzed using the interactive model, which included data reduction, data presentation, also conclusion drawing and verification. The study result indicated that forest is owned by the local community based upon the customary law, and the state does not have the right to manage and claim forest ownership. In terms of the economic aspect, the community benefited greatly from wood availability in the forest as the source of income. According to the local community, the conversion of forests into plantation did not have a significant effect on the environment. In fact, the local community agreed that land-use change from forest to plantation will provide greater benefit than preserving the forest. The expansion of plantation was found to be the motive for land clearance by cutting trees to obtain ownership over the forest. © 2020, Society for Indonesian Biodiversity. All rights reserved.
... Insectivores (16%) (Andreychev 2020) are somewhat inferior to rodents. In comparison to Cisokan, Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia, the proportion of rodent species from other mammals is higher (Withaningsih et al. 2018;Husodo et al. 2019). This is a feature differing Mordovia of many other mammal faunas, where representatives of the other animal orders predominate (Wirdateti et al. 2013;Sulistyadi 2016;Medina et al. 2018;Shanidah et al. 2018). ...
Andreychev A. 2020. Proportion faunal assemblage of rodents in geoecological districts of Mordovia, Russia. Biodiversitas 21(9): 3961-3968. In one natural area, animals may have different distribution. In some areas they inhabit, and in other areas, they do not inhabit. Scientists have been working on this issue for a long time. In this study reports that the species composition and distribution of species varies depending on geoecological districts. Twenty-eight rodent species have been recorded in the territory of Mordovia. The largest number of species in the region belongs to those living in coniferous and broad-leaved forests (42.9%). In the second place in terms of representation are species widely distributed in several natural areas (28.5%). They are slightly inferior to the types of steppe fauna (25%). The taiga type of fauna is represented by only 3.6% of the total number of registered species. For each geoecological district, the features of the rodent fauna are given and rare species are identified. The forest-steppe region of Mordovia is compared in rodent fauna with other regions of Russia with different typical faunal assemblages.
... This is a high indicator among other units. In comparison for Cisakan, Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia, the proportion of insectivorous species from other mammals is 7.7% (Withaningsih et al. 2018;Husodo et al. 2019). This is a distinctive feature of Mordovia from many mammalian faunas, where representatives of the orders carnivores, rodents and bats predominate (Wirdateti et al. 2013;Sulistyadi 2016;Medina et al. 2018;Shanidah et al. 2018). ...
In this study, reports that the species composition and occurrence of species in geo-ecological districts are not the same. 12 insectivorous mammals species have been recorded in the territory of Mordovia. The largest number of species in the region belongs to those living in coniferous and broad-leaved forests (42%). In the second place in terms of representation are species widely distributed in several natural areas (33%). They are slightly inferior to the types of taiga fauna (25%). For each geo-ecological district, the features of the rodent fauna are given and rare species are identified. The forest-steppe region of Mordovia is compared in insectivorous mammals fauna with other regions of Russia with different typical faunal complexes.
... Gumert et al [15] stated that M. fascicularis are edge species that are often found along rivers in Tanjung Puting National Park. Furthermore, Brotcorne et al [16] also stated that M. fascicularis prefer to use sleeping trees that are close to areas of human activity. ...
We conducted research on mammals diversity in the Mount Sawal Wildlife Reserve on March 2012. Data collection was obtained by direct observation and interviews. They are includes direct encounters, traces/signs of the mammals presence (ex: faeces, traces/footprints, odors, scratch marks, food scraps, etc.) as well as information from the community around the forest. Observations were carried out in seven observation path/forest block in Mount Sawal namely Belandongan, Cibaruyan Jero, Gintung, Gunung Luhur, Kigugula, Jamikuwu, and Sawah Gunung. We documented at least 10 species of mammals have been recorded, including Panthera pardus melas , Presbytis comata , Trachypithecus auratus , Macaca fascicularis , Muntiacus muntjak , Hystrix javanica, Aonyx cinereus, Prionailurus bengalensis, Mydaus javanensis, and Sus Scrofa . The existence of mammals is relatively evenly distributed in all observation path/forest block in The Sawal Mountain. Six species are protected by Indonesian Law, including Panthera pardus melas , Presbytis comata , Trachypithecus auratus , Muntiacus muntjak , Hystrix javanica, and Prionailurus bengalensis . Information on the diversity of mammals is expected to be a scientific consideration in the management area of the Mount Sawal Wildlife Reserve.
