Kemampuan Kawasan Nir-Konservasi dalam Melindungi Kelestarian Burung Endemik Dataran Rendah Pulau Jawa Studi Kasus di Kabupaten Kebumen

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Capability of Nir-Conservation Area for Preserving Jawa Lowland Endemic: Case
Study in Kebumen District. Indonesia region is inhabited by 1.598 birds which 372 Indonesian
endemic birds and 56 species of them are Jawa endemic. Amongs of jawa endemic birds, 19
species are lowland occupant. Indeed the birds play important roles in ecosystem as agents of
pest population control, pollination, and seed dispersal. In lowland area of Jawa, intensive
transformation of land use exacerbated by no conservation area may threaten presence of the
endemic birds. This study aims to assess caring capacity of disrupted area in low lands for
preserving endemic birds of Jawa.
The study was conducted in Bedegelon river covering northern mountaneus area of
Kebumen district from October-November 2007 using encounter rates methode. Survey was
carried out in three farm types: agroforestry (wanatani), intercropping agriculture area
(tumpangsari) and mixed area of vegetation-settelment area (sempadan sungai).
Result shows that four spesies Jawa lowland endemik birds was found in observed area.
Lonchura leucogastroides and dicaeum trochileum found at all farm type, Prinia familiaris
found at intercropping agriculture area (tumpangsari). Alcedo coerulescens were observed at
agroforestri area (wanatani) and mixed of vegetation-settelment area (sempadan sungai) farm
type.
