“…From the ecological aspect, the butterfly acts as a balancer of the ecosystem through its herbivorous nature in the caterpillar and adult phases (Knerl and Bowers 2013;Soule et al 2020). From the tourism aspect, butterflies of various colors can attract ecotourism (Jensen and Langergaard 2020;Lemelin and Jaramillo-López 2020;Amil et al 2021). Thus, as one such ecotourism area, Lombok Forest Park has an interest in preserving butterflies.…”

Abstract. Ilhamdi ML, Al Idrus A, Santoso D, Hadiprayitno G, Syazali M, Hariyadi I. 2023. Abundance and diversity of butterfly in the Lombok Forest Park, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 688-695. The lack of studies on butterflies on Lombok Island has prevented the biology and ecology of this insect group from being widely known. Further, the absence of data on insect communities impacts conservation management, especially that of the Lombok Island Forest Park. Insects can only be effectively managed for conservation by knowing their basic biology and ecology, yet almost nothing about the butterflies on Lombok Island has previously been quantified. This study aims to analyze the abundance and diversity of butterflies in the Forest Park of Lombok Island, Indonesia. The research was carried out from January to July 2022. Further, the samples were collected from three habitat types: waterways, forest middle lanes, and forest edge lanes. Butterfly data collection was carried out on the left and right of each line that became the transect. During this period, 1524 individuals from 42 butterfly species were collected. The most abundant species was Jamides celeno (Ra: 7.54%), while the species with the lowest abundance was Lampides boeticus (Ra: 0.26). The abundance of other species ranged from 0.45% to 6.95%. The results of the analysis show that the diversity of the butterflies in Lombok Island Forest Park is quite high in each of the habitat types surveyed. The data from this research can be used to design and implement conservation management, especially for butterflies.

Biodiversity, which is essential for the provision of ecosystem services, is in decline. However, knowledge about how biodiversity is perceived and appreciated is scarce. This gap is addressed using priority species for conservation in the Pisloy community, Jipijapa, Manabí, Ecuador. The interviews with the experts (N = 56) allowed us to calculate the Local Conservation Priorities Index (IPCL). The collaborators (N = 152) contributed knowledge, attitudes, responsibility and community participation. A total of 45 species were registered, belonging to the biological groups of Birds (25 species), Liliopsida (13) and Insects (8) priority for their conservation. The collaborators only recognized 40%. The species with the highest conservation priority were the Aves Brotogeris pyrrhoptera, Chaetocercus berlepschi, Pachyramphus spodiurus and Pseudastur occidentalis, followed by the Brassia jipijapensis, Encyclia angustiloba and Oncidium estradae. Insects obtained the lowest IPCL. To conserve the species, it is proposed to carry out training for the local population, the creation of protection areas and continue with the activity of community tourism. This information is necessary to improve the relationships between biodiversity and the management of biodiversity within natural ecosystems.
