Komunitas Herpetofauna dan Potensinya bagi Sektor Ekowisata pada Kawasan Ketenger-Baturraden di Selatan Kaki Gunung Slamet, Jawa Tengah
Abstrak: I expressed the
distribution, broad habitat association, and ecotourism potential of
herpetofauna based on four habitat types on
Ketenger-Baturraden,MountSlamet,Central Java. The data was gathered by
opportunistic searching. Sorensen index was used to determine similarity
between communities; and cluster analysis was used to determine the habitat
utilization. As the results, 35 species were recorded, comprising 16 frogs, 11
lizards and 8 snakes. The species richness was decreased from natural forest to
habitat types that open and having homogenous vegetation. The herpetofauna
communities between natural forest and limited production forest had the
highest similarity (50%). The natural forest is important habitat and should be
conserved. Based on habitat types, there were nine groups of herpetofauna. The
ecotourism potential of herpetofaunal richness on Ketenger-Baturraden is not
yet exploited.
