“…Harimau memiliki kontribusi ekologis yang signifikan di ekosistemnya. Sebagai spesies payung (umbrella species), perlindungan terhadap harimau yang merupakan top predator akan memberikan perlindungan terhadap spesies lain, baik yang secara langsung ataupun tidak langsung merupakan bagian dari rantai makanan spesies harimau tersebut (Kumar, 2021). Harimau sumatra menghuni kisaran tipe ekosistem yang cukup luas.…”

“…Demikian pula halnya dengan harimau benggala yang dikenal mampu beradaptasi pada kisaran lingkungan yang luas (Seidensticker and McDougal, 1993). Harimau benggala diketahui dapat menghuni berbagai tipe ekosistem, misalnya hutan hujan tropis, hutan pinus tropis dan sub tropis, sabana alluvial, padang rumput, stepa, hutan terbuka, semak-semak, mangrove, dan bahkan dijumpai pada ketinggian diatas 3000 mdpl di Himalaya (Matthiessen, 2000;Wikramanayake et al, 2010;Kumar, 2021).…”

Tiger Panthera tigris has a significant ecological role in its ecosystem, however, its population in nature has been declining drastically due to habitat degradation/loss, poaching of the tigers and their prey, wildlife trade, and human-tiger conflict. All P. tigris sub-species are included as endangered species on the IUCN red list and included in CITES Appendix 1. One of the efforts made to conserve endangered species is to link ex-situ conservation efforts with in-situ conservation. Providing enrichment can increase the complexity of the captive environment and further improve animal welfare by triggering active behaviour and preventing the emergence of stereotyped behaviour that often occurs in tiger species kept in cages at zoos. The Bali Zoo is an ex-situ conservation organization that plays a role in efforts to conserve tigers outside their natural habitat. This study aims to determine the types of enrichment given to sumatran tigers and bengal tigers at the Bali Zoo. This research was conducted in February-March 2021 using the direct observation method. This study recorded that various types of enrichment had been given which included food enrichment, sensory enrichment, physical enrichment, cognitive enrichment, and social enrichment to sumatran tigers and bengal tigers at the Bali Zoo. This provision has been able to reduce stress levels in these animals. Furthermore, although provision various types of enrichment have been well conducted in Bali Zoo, it is advisable to make more variety in anticipation to avoid causing boredom to the animals.

“…Anthropogenic threats to tiger are of preeminent concern, both where this results in the intentional killing of tigers, such as the killing of tigers for the purpose of trade in their body parts or as a result of human-tiger conflict, as well as where this results in accidental fatalities, such as road kills traffic collisions between vehicles and tigers [ 13 , 14 ]. As a result, engagement with community stakeholders is essential for ensuring the success of tiger conservation [ 15 ].…”

Community attitudes towards large carnivores are of central importance to their conservation in human-dominated landscapes. In this study, we evaluate community attitudes and perceptions towards the Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis) and bears (Ursus thibetanus and Ursus arctos), as well as their prey species, namely sika deer (Cervus nippon), roe deer and wild boar (Sus scrofa), in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin province, northeast China. We surveyed 139 households and found that community members’ perceptions of large carnivores and their prey species were influenced by their predominant economic activities; their prior interactions with wildlife; their household income level; and whether they were either long-term residents of Yanbian or had migrated to the region from elsewhere in China. We recorded fairly neutral attitudes towards large carnivores among the communities we surveyed, but strongly negative attitudes were shown towards wild boar, particularly where respondents had lost agricultural products to crop raiding by wild boar. We recommend conservation stakeholders in northeast China utilise this finding to encourage support for large carnivore recovery and conservation by targeting messaging around the importance of the tiger as a key predator of wild boar in the ecosystem. Furthermore, our findings suggest that government provided compensation paid for cattle lost to large carnivore predation (notably, by tigers) may be helping to reduce animosity from cattle owners towards large carnivores. However, we also highlight that compensation for loss of livestock is therefore performing a useful role in mitigating human-wildlife conflict, that there are potentially unintended consequences of the current compensation program, for example it fails to dissuade livestock grazing in protected areas.
