In nature, pangolin population trends to decrease because of illegal hunting. In order to protect them, it needs to anticipate with captive breeding. The purpos of this research was to provide information and to analyze the pangolin behaviour ensure the success of captive breeding. The method was interview with the keeper, observation of the pangolin and the cages. Numbers of pangolin used in the research were 11 individual. Parameters used were behaviour of moving, sleeping and feeding. The size of the cages were 2 m x 5 m x 2 m. The behaviour of the pangolin were walking (3.51%), coming to food (2.72%), climbing (2.23%), and standing (0.64%). Position of sleeping behaviour was rounded (5.82%), and then following as supine (2.45%) and stretching of body (0.82%). This condition relates with sleeping position or life protected in the nature from predators. Drinking activities (3.44%) was more than eating behaviour (2.79%), urinoir (1.53%), and defecation behaviour (1.4%).
Orang Rimba is one of the ethnic groups living in and outside of Bukit Duabelas National Park Jambi Province. To support living in a group nomadically, orang rimba utilized many wildlife species and hold diverse utilization patterns. Study on etnozoology was conducted to get information on wildlife utilization especially on what species, what for, how to process and what is the value behind. Research was carried out in September-October 2013. Data were collected by open and structured interview to Orang Rimba's groups in Makekal Tengah, Makekal Hilir, Air Hitam, and Terap. The results showed that there were 29 wildlife species used by Orang Rimba for animal protein resource (consumption) (48.28%), local medicine (20.69%)), protected by custom (24.14%), and for sale (6.90%). Meat is the main part used by Orang Rimba (62%). According to customary law of Orang Rimba, wildlife hunting is permitted in the forest except inside core forest which is the core zone of Bukit Duabelas National Park and prohibited to hunt indigenous protected wildlife.
The Siberut Biosphere Reserve, consist of Siberut National Park as core area and production forest managed by PT S3 (48.420 ha) and former KAM Company (49.650 ha) as buffer zone. National park and production forest were habitat of four primated endemic species such as Hylobates klossii Miller, 1903; Simias concolor Miller, 1903; Presbytis potenziani Bonaparte, 1856; and Macaca pagensis Miller, 1903, in ABSTRAKCagar Biosfer Pulau Siberut terdiri dari kawasan konservasi Taman Nasional Siberut sebagai zona inti dan hutan produksi yaitu IUPHHK PT Salaki Suma Sejahtera (S3) seluas 48.420 ha di bagian utama Pulau Siberut dan eks IUPHHK Koperasi Andalas Madani (KAM) seluas 49.650 ha sebagai zona penyangga. Kawasan taman nasional dan hutan produksi adalah habitat dari empat jenis primata endemik, Hylobates klossii Miller, 1903; Simias concolor Miller, 1903; Presbytis potenziani Bonaparte, 1856; dan Macaca pagensis Miller, 1903, 65% populasinya berada di hutan berbukit. Populasi keempat jenis primata di areal bekas tebangan kawasan Siberut Utara masing-masing 6,54 individu/km²; 8,70 individu/km²; 10,32 individu/km²; dan 33,10 individu/km². Populasi ini dua kali lebih tinggi dari populasi di taman nasional, sedangkan di areal penebangan setelah lima tahun di bagian selatan populasi primatanya 35% lebih rendah dari populasi bagian utara. Untuk melindungi populasi primata taman nasional dari dampak penebangan, diperlukan daerah penyangga hutan produksi dengan taman nasional selebar 1.500 m, sedangkan pelestarian populasi primata efektif di hutan produksi dilakukan dengan membangun wilayah konservasi di setiap blok areal kegiatan tebangan selama lima tahun (RKL) seluas ±2.300 ha, dan wilayah konservasi habitat primata di tujuh RKL mencapai luas 30% dari kawasan hutan produksi.
