Activity Budget of Ex-captive Sumatran Orangutan Post Release in Sumatran Orangutan Reintroduction Centre in Jambi
Get PDFExcaptive orangutans were not have a proportional activity budget for their suitable food, so that many individuals have been failed to adapt.Assessment daily activity budget should to have for excaptive orangutans to determine successful adaptation to independent life. Our reserachconducted on 13 individuals who were divided into two groups according to behavioral characteristic were seven individuals tame and six individualssemiwild. We recorded their activities for 9-10 days (7.290–8.100 minutes) after their released via instantaneous sampling method with a sampleinterval for 2 minutes. The results showed that group of semiwild spent duration on feeding (43%) higher than tame (28%), whereas tame spent onresting (55%) higher than semiwild (38%). Results of analysis on daily activities of two groups showed significant differences in resting, feeding andother activities among the two groups (n1=70; n2=56) have probability value of Mann Whitney Test resting: p=0,000<0,05; feeding:p=0,000<0,05; other activities: p=0,009<0,05. Only moving activity showed no significant difference results (n1= 70, n2=56; p=0,507>0,05).Semiwild group has activity budget similar to wild orangutans in natural habitat.Keywords: activity budget, ex-captive, sumatran orangutan

Forest fires in TNGC occur every year and fluctuated from year to year. Forst fires destroy ecosystems and interfere the function of TNGC. Anti Fire Community (MPA) is a partnership which consist of local communities involved in forest fire control. Community partnership will never succeess without the MPA’s participation.

This research method is done by questionnaires, observation and interviews. The results showed that MPA positively perceive that dry season as supporting factors and community activities that involve a fire as direct factors of forest fires. The public perception is not always in line with the participation. A strong perception does not guarantee a high participation, it might be the opposit (low participation). The highest MPA’s participation in forest fires control is in forest fighting activities. Affecting factors on MPA\u27s participation in forest fire control activities are economic factors ie wage, logistics dan goods. Occuring gap between the ideal conditions and real conditions is 80,95 percent. Perceptions which is not in line with the participation and the emerge gap is suspected to cause unoptimized of forest fire control conducted by MPA in TNGC.
