Biodiversity is an essential resource for humans. High biodiversity determines the stability of environmental functions and services in various ecosystems and shows how abundant the wealth of germplasm can be utilized to improve people’s welfare. One of the biodiversity that can be utilized is microbes.

Kementrian kehutanan merupakan salah satu sektor yang bertanggung jawab dalam pengurusan tersedianya ketahanan pangan, salah satu tugasnya adalah  menyediakan lahan hutan untuk pengembangan pangan dalam bentuk agroforestri.

Konversi hutan di Indonesia telah menjadi lahan agroekosistem telah berjalan sejak abad 16 hingga sekarang. Banyak hutan dikonversi menjadi lahan perkebunan, sebagian menjadi hutan sekunder, semak belukar dan lahan terbuka. Peningkatan konversi hutan tersebut di dorong oleh laju pertumbuhan jumlah penduduk Indonesia lebih dari 1,3 pertahun.

Beberapa tahun belakangan ini, Indonesia dikagetkan dengan masalah kesehatan dan gizi, yaitu stunting atau gagal tumbuh pada balita. Meskipun menurun dari tahun ke tahun, angka stunting tersebut masih berkisar di atas standar yang ditetapkan oleh World Heatlh Organization (WHO) maksimum sebesar 20%.

A long-term commitment to fundamental biological research relevant to the needs of bio-based industry should be maintained. The genetics of plants and bacteria that lead to an understanding of genes that control plant pathways and cellular process, the physiology and biochemistry of plants and microorganism directed towards improving bioconversion process, and modification of plant metabolism represent major research interest.

The tourism industry represents one of the main sectors in the global economy, often referred to as the world’s largest single industry . Biodiversity, the variety of life on Earth, is a large part of what makes tourist destinations such as tropical forests, beaches, coasts and islands , mountains, rivers and lake and national parks, so attractive . Approximately half of the leisure trips taken globally are to natural area.

Spesies asli adalah spesies yang terbentuk secara alami di suatu wilayah sejalan dengan proses pembentukan geomorfologi kawasan tersebut. Spesies endemik adalah spesies asli yang hanya ditemukan di wilayah tertentu dan unik untuk lokasi geografis tertentu seperti pulau, negara, zona, atau tipe habitat.

The concept of flagship species has its genesis in the field of conservation biology. The flagship species concept holds that by raising the profile of a particular species, it can successfully leverage more support for biodiversity conservation at large in a particular context.

Perubahan landskap sudah berjalan lama di Indonesia, dimulai sejak pada abad 16, banyak hutan telah mengalami kerusakan akibat berbagai aktivitas manusia, seperti penebangan liar, perubahan tataguna lahan hutan, dan aktivitas perladangan.

The 2030 Sustainable Development’s agenda was agreed by the 193 States Members of the United Nations. Sustainable development and sustainability cannot be separated since sustainability is considered as the long term goal of sustainable development.

Penangkaran adalah proses pemeliharaan tanaman atau hewan di lingkungan yang terkendali, seperti suaka margasatwa, cagar alam, kebun binatang, kebun raya, dan fasilitas konservasi lainnya (bahkan termasuk peternakan, rumah pribadi, dan dan laboratorium).

The variety of life on Earth is essential for the welfare of current and future generations. The conservation, restoration and sustainable use of biological diversity can help solve a range of societal challenges. For example, “Protecting ecosystems and ensuring access to ecosystem services by poor and vulnerable groups are essential to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger.

Keanekaragaman hayati adalah komponen utama dalam keseimbangan ekosistem dan pendukung dalam keberlangsungan hidup manusia. Pemenuhan kebutuhan sandang, pangan dan papan masyarakat sangat tergantung pada keanekaragaman hayati sebagai sumber daya utama (bioresources) terutama dari sisi ekonomi.

Publication is a certificate for a person to be recognized as a researcher. Even, without adequate publicity, someone working at a research institute can not be considered as a researcher. Through a publication, a researcher can contribute to the welfare and salvation for mankind.

Volcanoes are one of the most spectacular and beautiful features of the physical world. On the other hand, great volcanic eruptions in historic times have brought death and destruction to many areas around the world. Volcanoes pose a threat to almost half a billion people; today there are approximately 500 active volcanoes on Earth, and every year there are 10 to 40 volcanic eruptions.

Increasing population growth and rapid use of bio-resources lead to decreasing of natural capital. The natural ecosystem has been changed into man-made ecosystem such as agriculture, forestry, urban system and other land use activities. Biodiversity as a component of natural capital is always affected by the activities. Consequently this condition affect the ecosystem health.

Borneo or Kalimantan is the largest island in Asia and third largest in the world with an area of 743,330 km2, and the highest peak is Mount Kinabalu (4,095 m) in Sabah, Malaysia.

Sulawesi, formerly known as Celebes, is one of the large islands of Indonesia. It is the most important island in the “Wallacea subregion”, situated in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago, between Borneo (Kalimantan) and the Moluccan islands.

Tropical peatlands are common in Southeast Asia (about 70%), especially in Indonesia. They are significant carbon sinks and store large amounts of carbon and their damage can significantly impact on the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide. 

The biodiversity or biological diversity was introduced in the mid-1980s by naturalists who were worried about the rapid destruction of natural ecosystems. The destruction has caused habitat fragmentations and loss, extinction and loss of species, and decreasing environmental services.

Global climate change models (GCMs) predicted that by the end of 21st century, in comparison to averages prior to the 1980s, global warming will bring about : a 3-4 C increase in mean temperature, a 30-40% decrease in rainfall, significant changes in seasonality, a rise in sea level and more frequent severe weather events relative to pre-1980s records (IPCC 2007)

Borneo or Kalimantan is the largest island in Asia and third largest in the world with an area of 743,330 km2; the highest peak is Mount Kinabalu (4,095 m) in Sabah, Malaysia. The widest part of the island is located in Indonesia (73%), the rest is in Malaysia (26%) and Brunei Darussalam (1%).

Agro-ecosystem biodiversity includes all components of biodiversity relevant to food and agriculture, including genetic crops and livestock resources. While species extinction is a matter of increasing concern, changes in biodiversity in the world’s agricultural landscapes have been largely escaped attention.

Komoditas pertanian merupakan andalan utama bangsa-bangsa di Nusantara selama ratusan tahun untuk menjaga kesejahteraan perekonomian. Dari bangsa maritim Austronesia yang menyebar ke seluruh perairan Nusantara dengan perahu kecil bercadik.

As the agenda of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has concluded in 2015, world leaders have also called for new ambitious agenda in order to improve human life and to protect the environment for the next generation. The agenda, known as the Sustainable Development Goals, is projected to overcome a number of issues that include programs for poverty and hunger alleviation, health care and education betterment, sustainable urban development, climate change countermeasure, and ocean and forest protection.

Kerusakan lingkungan di Indonesia, baik di laut maupun di darat, memberi tekanan yang sangat besar terhadap kelestarian keanekaragaman hayatinya. Namun, harapan atas kelestarian dan upaya pemanfaatannya secara berkelanjutan terus tumbuh sejalan dengan banyaknya pihak-pihak yang tidak mau menyerah atas degradasi yang terus terjadi.

Secara ekologi Provinsi Jawa Tengah merupakan kawasan yang unik karena menjadi batas ekosistem bagian barat Pulau Jawa yang basah dan bagian timur yang kering. Sebagai daerah ekoton, Jawa Tengah memiliki perwakilan habitat dan jenis-jenis biota dari Jawa bagian barat maupun timur

Dataran tinggi merupakan bagian kecil dari kontur bumi, namun memegang peranan penting dalam iklim dan geomorfologi. Daur hidrologi sangat tergantung pada kawasan pegunungan. Kurang dari 20% permukaan bumi di Indonesia terletak di dataran tinggi (> 1000 m dpl.). Hanya di Papua, dataran tinggi mencakup kawasan yang cukup luas

Wilayah perkotaan sering kali dilupakan dalam kajian keanekaragaman hayati. Kajian ini umumnya mengambil lokasi di tempat-tempat terpencil, yang jauh dari aktivitas manusia, seperti hutan, gunung, pantai dan lautan yang jauh dari proses antropogenik.
