Tingkat Hunian Beruang Madu (Helarctos Malayanus) Di Suaka Margasatwa Bukit Rimbang Bukit Baling (Smbrbb)
The Malayan sun bear (Helarctos malayanus) is one of the large terrestrial carnivore species inhabiting tropical forests of Kalimantan and Sumatra. The species plays important role in tropical ecosystems. However, this species faces threats that are mainly driven by human activities in the form of habitat loss and fragmentation due to human development such as settlements, encroachment, logging, fires as well as poaching and conflict with human being. In addition, pivotal information on biological regarding proportional habitat models through manual covariates and human dimension are little studied. This study aims to determine the abundance and occupancy with habitat relationship of Malayan sun bears in the Bukit Rimbang Bukit Baling Wildlife Reserve (BRBBWR). Field data collection was implemented by using systematic camera trapping for tiger studies in three different sampling blocks of the SMBRBB. The study spent 8,125 day trap nights and covered 1.446 km2 of effective sampling areas. The abundance of sun bears represented by trapping success rate (TSR) in three blocks of the SMBRBB area is vary where the highest was in northwestern (8.26). The highest occupancy rate was in the southern block (0.66) followed by the northwestern (0.56) and the smallest was in the northeastern (0.55). The study result also describes effects of habitat parameters that is important for sun bear’s conservation. The study is expected to provide the fundamental biological information of sun bears as protected animal by Indonesian laws for the management of sun bear habitat in the area.
