Pendugaan Populasi Harimau Sumatra dan Satwa Mangsanya di Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan
Abstrak: Bukit Barisan Selatan
National Parks has been given a named by World Heritage Committee as The
Tropical Rain Forest of Sumatra (The World Heritage site) in July 2004 in
Shozou China. However, many of Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park’s forest
have already been wrecked by irresponsible people. Illegal logging is a big
problem in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Parks. Indonesian’s forests are home
to megabiodiversity in the world, but deforestation has caused a lengthening
list of the inhabitant species to be classified as endangered. For example, the
Sumatran tiger has a category to be an appendix I species by Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).The decline of a species is
very often a strong indicator of degradation in the local habitat, which can
also negatively impact the biodiversity of that area. Perhaps the greatest
threat to the survival of the tiger is destruction of its habitat. With the
expansion of human populations, the logging of forests, the elimination of
natural prey, and the spread of agriculture, there is continuation of
destruction toward Sumatran tiger population. Monitoring the Sumatran tiger and
its prey using camera trap can provide a data base on the continuity of the
Sumatran tiger population management.
