Identifikasi Jenis Mamalia Di Arboretum Universitas Riau Menggunakan Camera Trap
ABSTRACT
Biodiversity plays a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance, and
mammals are one of the key taxa that reflect habitat quality. This study aimed to
identify mammal species and determine their encounter rates in the Arboretum of
Universitas Riau Campus using camera traps. The research was conducted from
August to October 2024 in both northern and southern parts of the arboretum,
covering approximately 11 hectares. A total of five camera trap stations were
installed at strategic locations such as animal trails, water sources, and feeding
areas. Data analysis was performed by classifying species and calculating
encounter frequencies. The results recorded nine mammal species, including pigtailed
macaque (Macaca nemestrina), long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis),
plaintain squirrel (Callosciurus notatus), common treeshrew (Tupaia glis), ground
squirrel (Tupaia tana), bush rat (Rattus tiomanicus), asian palm civet
(Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), and wild
boar (Sus scrofa). The highest encounter rate was observed for pig-tailed macaque
(Macaca nemestrina), while species such as ground squirrel (Tupaia tana) and
long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) were less frequently detected.
Conservation status assessment based on national regulations (Regulation of the
Minister of Environment and Forestry No. P.106/2018), CITES and IUCN Red
List indicated that several species are categorized as protected and vulnerable.
This study highlights the importance of arboretum areas as biodiversity refuges
within campus of Universitas Riau.
