PENANGKAPAN DAN PERDAGANGAN TRENGGILING JAWA (Manis javanica Desmarest, 1822) DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Conservation status of sunda pangolin (Manis javanica , 1822) is listed as protected species. However, this Desmarest species is threatened by illegal trade. The pangolin is a scaly and toothless mammal. The main foods of this species are ants and termites. Some people believe that sunda pangolin is beneficial to the health so that trigger of very high commercial value. The research objectives were to determine the public perception on its utilization related to poaching and illegal trade and also to estimate the number of illegal trade during the period of 2002 to 2015. Snowball and purposive sampling techniques were carried out in data collecting by using questionnaire to respondents as key informants. Communities perceived that Sunda pangolin have a high economic value of wildlife that can increase people's income (40%) and can be poached if there is a chance (52%). Over the last fourteen years, as much as 319,460 of sunda pangolins were exported. To address these issues can be done through improving regulation in line with international regulations such as CITES, capacity building of rangers and investigators in related to online trading and use of electronic evidence, increasing public awareness, DNA forensics, as well as cooperation with related parties.

Political Economy Analysis (Pea) And Market Analysis Of Illicit Wildlife Trafficking (A Case Study On Pangolin Illicit Trafficking: Indonesia-China)

“…Furthermore, Nijman (2015) established the price from the collectors to intermediaries is about RM 80 (US$ 24.00) for a kilogram. In the transit point (Malaysia), the intermediaries earn around RM 100 (US$ 30.00) per kilogram from Malaysian sellers, then sell it to the Chinese market at RM750 (US$ 227.00) per kilogram (Takandjandji and Sawitri, 2016).…”

The illegal hunting and exploitation of porcupines for meat and medicine in Indonesia

“…comm). Further, incidents in the provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra, where the greatest number of porcupines were seized (on average approximately 32-33 animals per incident), have frequently revealed these areas to be important wildlife trade hubs where animals are smuggled out of Indonesia (USAID 2015; Tankandjandji and Sawitri 2016;Gomez et al 2017). According to USAID (2015), there was a noticeable increase in poaching activities within Kerinci Seblat National Park in Sumatra around 2010 onwards reportedly driven by export markets.…”

UKURAN MORFOMETRIK DAN MERISTIK PADA TRENGGILING JAWA (Manis javanica Desmarest, 1822) DARI PULAU SUMATERA, JAWA DAN KALIMANTAN

“…Empat populasi trenggiling di Asia (Botha dan Gaudin, 2007;Lim dan Ng, 2008;Mishra dan Panda, 2011) termasuk trenggiling jawa, mengalami penurunan akibat perburuan dan perdagangan ilegal. Trenggiling adalah satwa nokturnal arboreal (Manis tetradactyla) dan terestrial (M. javanica dan lainnya) yang terdapat di hutan hujan tropis primer dan sekunder, areal pertanian dan perkebunan, termasuk pemukiman dengan tanah yang lembut dan berpasir, tersedia pakan dan air (Gaudin et al, 2009;Mahmood et al, 2014;Takandjandji dan Sawitri, 2016;Thapa et al, 2014). Trenggiling jawa tersebar di Asia Tenggara dari Myanmar menuju Lao PDR, Thailand, Vietnam, Kamboja, Semenanjung Malaysia, Indonesia (Pulau Sumatera, Jawa, Kalimantan dan kepulauan sekitarnya), Brunei Darussalam, dan Serawak (Lim dan Ng, 2008;Thapa et al, 2014).…”

“…Perusakan habitat termasuk penebangan hutan yang tidak terkendali turut pula menyebabkan menurunnya ketersediaan sumber pakan trenggiling. Selain itu, keberadaan pemburu juga mempengaruhi laju pertumbuhan morfometrik trenggiling (Kuswanda, 2014;Takandjandji dan Sawitri, 2016).…”
