In this study, we present the description of a previously undocumented species of Cnemaspis found in the region of Tamil Nadu, India. Molecular analysis of the species reveals its placement within the Cnemaspis beddomei Theobald, 1876 clade, with a range of genetic divergence on the ND2 gene, spanning from 9.5% to 30.2% in comparison to its congeners. Although bearing a resemblance to the well-known Cnemaspis ornata Beddome, 1870, the new species exhibits a distinct set of non-overlapping morphological characteristics that set it apart. These findings are supported by molecular data, solidifying the distinction between the newly described species and its close relatives.

The Banteng (Bos Javanicus d'Alton 1823) is an endemic species in Indonesia that is threatened with extinction and whose population continues to decline in the wild. The aim of this study is to determine the timing of artificial insemination (AI) in the Banteng based on follicle size and uterine enlargement. For this study, two female Banteng were used in Taman Safari Indonesia, Cisarua, Bogor. Habituation was performed to facilitate data collection. Optimal timing for AI is determined by examining the reproductive organs using Ultrasonography (USG) to detect changes in the uterus and ovaries and monitor clinical signs of estrus. Follicle size and uterine examination was performed on days -1, 0, and +1 for 3 estrus cycles. Insemination was performed 2-3 times during estrus until ovulation occurred. The results showed that the average follicle size of both Banteng was 1.09 ± 0.02 cm on day -1, 1.31 ± 0.02 cm on day 0, and 1.33 ± 0.03 cm on day +1. Artificial insemination was performed with a double dose of frozen semen when the Banteng were still rideable, and the follicle size ranged from 1.23-1.38 cm. Pregnancy was examined by ultrasound on day 21 after mating; both Banteng females were pregnant after AI. It can be concluded that AI technique can be used in captive Banteng breeding program by studying the development of follicles and uterine enlargement.

Understanding and identifying butterfly species in various land uses serves a crucial eco-logical function in protecting biodiversity and improving environmental policy decisions. However, such a study on the diversity of butterflies from different land use types in and around Chebera Churchura Na-tional Park, southwestern Ethiopia, is extremely lacking. Thus, the present study aimed to quantify the species richness and abundance of butterflies in the Chebera Churchura National Park and its surroundings, which are prioritized for their conservation. Data was collected from January 2021 to June 2021 following the line transect method in the three habitat types using a standard insect net. In total, 2118 individuals representing 79 species and 38 genera belonging to five families were recorded. The Nymphalidae were the most dominant butterfly family, accounting for 45 species (57%) of the total butterflies observed, while the Heaspariidae contributed the least. Among the 79 species, 9 were very common, 32 were common, 37 were rare, and 1 was very rare. Based on butterfly species richness and composition, riverine forest had the greatest diversity and abundance with 65 species and 1028 individuals, and the least species composition was recorded in mosaic habitat with 26 species and 350 individuals, and the difference in diversity was significant. The study region was generally found to be rich in the diversity and abundance of butterflies in all three forms of land use. However, the study area is currently becoming an investment hub, and many road development projects are being planned. Ongoing human activities will devastate and harm the richness, abundance, and diversity of butterfly species. As a result, such human-induced activities need to be carefully studied to protect biodiversity.

Shyamlatal, a natural rain-fed wetland located at an elevation of 1300m in Champawat District, owes its prime conservation value in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, India. Because there is a scarcity of data on bio-resources that are critical to ecological functioning, the present study documented the species composition and seasonal patterns in richness and abundance of butterflies for their future management and conservation in a wetland environment of the Shyamlatal. A record of 64 species and 45 genera under six butterfly families was made from the catchment area of watershed and surrounding forests surveyed during 2016 to 2018. Nymphalidae with 28 species over 45.84% of the total individuals was the most dominant taxonomic group of butterflies. Species on conservation priority were rare (17.18% species), habitat specific (18.75% species), legally protected (7.81% species) and endemic (20.31% species) butterflies of the Himalaya. The overall species richness and diversity of butterflies varied across seasons and the high similarity in butterfly composition was observed during summer and autumn. Results provided baseline information on the importance of mosaic of vegetation in sustaining rich butterfly diversity around the wetland, which must be managed and conserved for maintaining ecological health and integrity of the region. The results also revealed that human activities have negative consequences on butterfly diversity in the study area.

, Lichens not only play a major role in plant succession as pioneer species but also provide many ecosystem services. Various anthropogenic activities like habitat destruction, air pollution and over exploitation of lichens for economic uses seem to be the main threats for loss of lichen diversity. Hence, for in situ conservation of lichens, it is a prioritised need to document lichen species of a locality. Lichens of Assam are being extensively studied from a taxonomic point of view in recent years. An accurate and updated checklist of lichens is not available so far. Here we expand the knowledge of the lichen of Assam by critically surveyed the literatures and prepared an updated list of total 657 species of Assam.

The coral reef ecosystem in the Spermonde Archipelago manifests great potential in ecosystem services. However, it has been degraded to “severely damaged”. In this study we investigated the law enforcement related to coral reef conservation, especially the damage caused by destructive actions. We used mixed qualitative and quantitative methods. We explored existing laws, conductedsemi-structured interviewswith6 informants (five fishermen and one judge), collected data on regional convictions data,and surveyed 48 respondents with a quantitative questionnaire, in 5 sampling sites: South Galesong District, Takalar Regency; KodingarengLompo Island,Sangkarrang District Makassar city, Kapoposang Island; Sarappoand Papandangan Island; PangkajeneandKepulauan Regency. This study detected 26 destructive cases, in which the perpetrators were found guilty by the court with the consideration that their actions damaged the coral reef ecosystem. The perpetrators used bombs, cyanide, and cantrangnets to catch fish and collect corals for trading. The imposed sentence was mild and far from the maximum penalty, both in imprisonment and fine. Notably, none of the perpetrators were sentenced to half of the main legal threats. 96% of (n = 48) respondents in our study area disagreed with the mild penalty. A mild penalty may not provide deterrent effects to the perpetrators or others who have an intention to conduct similar activities.The questionnaire showed that most of the locals know about the conservation area (66%) and its regulation (88%). The best solution to strengthen the conservation effort is to quickly establish a fisheries court in Spermonde Archipelago, which is also supported by locals (92% agreed to the establishment). A fisheries court could examine, adjudicate, and decide fisheries criminal cases, such as illegal fishing and destructive fishing within their jurisdiction. The court could be established by Presidential Decree and it will be under supervision of the Supreme Court of Republic of Indonesia.

This survey reveals how the community in Rimbang Baling Wildlife Sanctuary in their understanding of positive laws, especially the state regulation, both concern the rule of law and laws related to conservation. In addition, their attitude towards sharia law such as the wildlife fatwa (MUI’s Fatwa No 4/2014) is about the protection of endangered wildlife to maintain ecosystem balance. We ask which rules must be obeyed first, the religious regulations, such as fatwas, or government rules? It has been revealed in this study that sharia complied with 20.1% (intervention villages = intervention) and 17.1% (control villages = control), government regulations of 15.3% (intervention), and 10.9% (control), while those who answered that both regulations must be obeyed were of 53.3% (intervention) and 65.1% (control), and the rest answered “don’t know”. The survey also questioned of hunting and trading of endangered animals prohibited by MUI Fatwa No. 4 of 2014. The respondents were on opinion that agreed and strongly agreed of 57.8% (intervention) and 65.1% (control), disagreed of 22.5% (intervention) and 21.7 (control), while the remainder was neutral, of 15.9% (intervention) and 10.9% (control). The results of relations of attitudes towards wildlife conservation between intentions and the resulting Spearman correlation values were of: p, 389 ** (control) and p, 523 ** (intervention). This means that, for the control villages, the correlation of the two variables is suficien; on the other hand, the correlation in the intervention area has a strong value. The intervention areas, villages: Aur Kuning, Pangkalan Serai, Lubuk Bigau, and Kebun Tinggi, have relatively higher attitudes than the control villages, namely: Gajah Bertalut, Sungai Santi, Terusan, and Tanjung Permai.
