Judul: Pengelolaan Lanskap Untuk Kegiatan Wisata Birdwatching Elang Jawa (Nisaetus bartelsi) Di Taman Nasional Alas Purwo
Abstrak: Elang Jawa (Nisaetus bartelsi) merupakan raptor endemik Pulau Jawa yang terancam punah. Elang jawa tersebar di hutan dataran tinggi dan hutan dataran rendah. Taman Nasional Alas Purwo (TNAP) merupakan habitat elang jawa di hutan dataran rendah. Elang jawa merupakan satwa kunci TNAP yang harus ditingkatkan upaya konservasinya. Wisata birdwatching merupakan cara konservasi elang jawa di TNAP dengan pemanfaatan berkelanjutan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah pemetaan perjumpaan elang jawa dan menganalisis karakteristik preferensi habitat berburu dan habitat bersarang, menganalisis potensi pengembangan wisata birdwatching elang jawa, dan memberikan rekomendasi pengelolaan lanskap untuk kegiatan wisata birdwatching elang jawa. Data dikumpulkan dengan teknik observasi habitat berburu dan bersarang, literatur, wawancara pengelola, dan kuisioner pengunjung yang digunakan untuk analisis lanskap, analisis vegetasi, analisis pohon sarang, dan analisis SWOT. Hasil menunjukan elang jawa ditemukan di Seksi Pengelolaan Taman Nasional (SPTN) 1 Tegaldlimo dan SPTN 2 Muncar dengan pemanfaatan hutan alami yang tinggi. Kondisi habitat bersarang dan berburu ditemukan pada slope datar hingga curam dengan elevasi 0-167 mdpl serta sekitar sarang ditemukan sungai. Vegetasi pakan mangsa elang jawa strata A dan B dengan keragaman sedang ditemukan pada habitat berburu dan bersarang. Bendo (Arthocarpus elastica) menjadi pohon sarang karena memiliki model arsitektur rauh, strata A, dan emergent tree. TNAP memiliki potensi mengembangkan wisata birdwatching elang jawa. Namun, dengan kondisi fasilitas kurang mendukung dan infromasi terbatas. Kondisi tersebut menghasilkan rekomendasi berupa perencanaan wisata birdwatching elang jawa, restorasi habitat menggunakan preferensi vegetasi di TNAP, melakukan promosi dengan berbagai media, serta bekerjasama dengan stakeholders terkait., Javan Hawk-Eagle, JHE (Nisaetus bartelsi) is an endemic raptor in Java Island with endangered status. JHE are spread in highland forests and lowland forests. Alas Purwo National Park (APNP) is JHE habitat in lowland forests. JHE is a key animal in APNP must be improved in conservation efforts. Birdwatching is way of JHE conservation in APNP with sustainable use efforts. Purpose of this study was to map JHE encounters and analyze the characteristics of hunting and nesting habitat preferences, analyze the potential for developing JHE birdwatching tourism, and provide recommendations landscape management for JHE birdwatching tourism. Data obtained from observations in hunting and breeding habitats, literature, interviews to maintener, and questionnaires to tourists which were used for landscape analysis, vegetation analysis, nest tree analysis, and SWOT analysis. The results is JHE was found in the National Park Management Section (NPMS) 1 Tegaldlimo and NPMS 2 Muncar with high utilization of natural forests. Nesting and hunting habitat were found at 0-167 MASL and flat to steep slopes and around the nest found river. Prey vegetation of JHE has strata A and B was found in hunting and nesting habitats with moderate diversity. Bendo (Arthocarpus elastica) were a nest tree because it had an rauh architecture model, strata A, and emergent tree. TNAP has potential to develop JHE birdwatching tourism. However, the condition of facilities was not supportive and information was limited. These condition resulted recommendations in the form of planning JHE birdwatching toursim, Habitat restoration using vegetation preferences in APNP, promotions with various media, and collaborating with related stakeholders.
