Flora Fauna Nusantara has carried out a series of biodiversity research and monitoring activities across several regions of Kalimantan, including North Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, and Central Kalimantan. These activities were conducted as part of ongoing efforts to document and monitor the condition of Kalimantan’s tropical forest ecosystems, which are recognized as one of the world’s important centers of biodiversity.
Biodiversity in Kalimantan
During the field surveys, the research team implemented various observation and data collection methods to assess both flora and fauna diversity. Vegetation studies were conducted through tree diameter measurements and the establishment of vegetation plots, while wildlife observations involved direct monitoring using binoculars and field identification techniques.
In addition, insect sampling was carried out using insect nets, alongside the installation of traps to monitor small mammals and reptiles inhabiting forest ecosystems. Survey activities were performed not only during daytime but also at night to document nocturnal wildlife species that are active after dark.
Observation activities
The biodiversity monitoring program serves as part of broader conservation and sustainable ecosystem management efforts in Kalimantan. The collected data are expected to provide important baseline information that can support future decision-making processes related to forest protection, biodiversity conservation, and long-term environmental management in the region.
