Studi Populasi Tapir Asia (Tapirus Indicus) Dengan Bantuan Kamera Jebak Di Blok I Pt. Alam Bukit Tigapuluh, Tebo, Provinsi Jambi
The high rate of deforestation in Sumatra has led to habitat fragmentation, which impacts population decline and puts several species at risk of extinction. One of the endangered species found in PT. ABT is the Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus). This study aims to estimate the population density of the Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus) in the ecosystem restoration area of PT. ABT Block I, as well as to identify its distribution patterns based on elevation and activity time. The data used in this study were obtained from camera trap surveys conducted by the WWF-Indonesia Central Sumatra Program research team during the 2020–2024 period, covering an area of 22,095 hectares in Block I of PT. ABT. A systematic sampling method was applied, dividing the study area into 22 grids measuring 2 × 2 km, with 2 km spacing between grids. For data analysis, tapir density estimation was performed using DENSITY 5.0 software with Spatially Explicit Capture-Recapture (SECR) modeling. The estimated tapir densities in phase 1 (2020), phase 2 (2021) and phase 3 (2022) were 9.61 individuals/100 km², 6.62 individuals/100 km², and 15.66 individuals/100 km², respectively. Tapir density estimates in the study area remained relatively high in phase 3 and were moderately high in phases 1 and 2. Spatial distribution patterns in all three phases showed that tapirs were more frequently encountered in areas with relatively high elevation (281–330 m above sea level). Peak tapir activity occurred between 17:00 and 20:00, indicating that this species is nocturnal.
