Abstract

The expansion of oil-palm plantations in Indonesia is often blamed as the driving causes of deforestation and impacts on environmental changes including the destructed biodiversity. Our understanding regarding environmental impacts on biodiversity is still limited. We address this issue by examining the diversity of butterfly and bird species under two type habitat conditions in Central Borneo. We calculated the butterfly and bird species number, richness, evenness, similarity, and composition inside the established oil-plantation area comprising four large-scale plantations and seven smallholding plantations, as habitat after plantation establishment.  In comparison, we did so similarly inside secondary forest and shrubs, as habitat before oil-palm plantation establishment.  Our results revealed that the habitat after plantation establishment exhibited a higher number of butterfly and bird species than the habitat beforehand.  However, the richness, evenness, and similarity indices for the species revealed variations, which were affected by dominant species in two habitats.  The establishment of oil-palm plantation brought about significant impacts on the composition of species and affected the species similarities between two habitats. The oil-palm plantation landscape and reserved forest vegetation were essential in supporting diversity and ecological role of species on habitat condition after oil-palm plantation establishment.

Abstract

The expansion of oil palm plantations in Indonesia is often blamed as the drivers of natural resource destruction and decrease the tropical biodiversity. Herpetofauna is one of biodiversity on oil palm plantation, but information about its species diversity is still limited. This research was aims to reveal the variation of diversity of Herpetofauna on oil palm landscape in central Borneo. Field inventory was conducted on seven types of land cover i.e. young oil palm, mature oil palm, old oil palm, High Conservation Value area, secondary forest, shrubs, and smallholder plantation. We used Visual Encounter Method to invent Herpetofauna spesies on all land cover type. This study reveal that the diversity of Herpetofauna species in PT BLP varies by land cover type. The land cover types of HCV and Secondary Forest have the largest number of species (12 species). Secondary Forest is the type of land cover with the highest abundance among other types of land cover, followed by old oil palm plantations. The oil palm plantations lanscape with different type of land cover can be part of the habitat for several Herpetofauna species and managed for sustainable oilpalm scheme.
