1. 0:03This is related to a type of primate
2. 0:06that, well, I’m actually very fond of
3. 0:09as well, um. Types of gibbons in
4. 0:13Indonesia. Next. So, in terms of
5. 0:21evolutionary history and adaptation,
6. 0:23gibbons are the final type, the last
7. 0:26group, which is almost, nearly perfect.
8. 0:31So, they are a type of ape, and on the
9. 0:35left are the more primitive types, and
10. 0:38monkeys are even earlier than that.
11. 0:43Next, now in the world there are 20
12. 0:48types of gibbons spread from India,
13. 0:51Bangladesh, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand
14. 0:53, there are some in China, on the
15. 0:56islands, and in Indonesia there are
16. 0:58nine types. Currently, there is one in
17. 1:03Java, four in Kalimantan, um, four in
18. 1:10Sumatra including those on the islands,
19. 1:12and we also have one hybrid population
20. 1:14in Central Kalimantan in the upper
21. 1:16Barito River. That is a hybrid of
22. 1:20Hylobates muelleri and Hylobates
23. 1:22albibarbis there, which is currently
24. 1:25recorded that natural hybrid
25. 1:27populations only exist in Hutan Lindung
26. 1:29and in the Upper Barito which is in
27. 1:32Kalimantan. Then, yes, in Java there is
28. 1:36already one, um, out of these nine
29. 1:41types, two have not been included in
30. 1:43the government regulation, the
31. 1:45protected species regulation. The ones
32. 1:48in West Kalimantan, yes, sending a
33. 2:00letter about, um, this for the
34. 2:01protection of this species, and, um,
35. 2:04all of them currently have an
36. 2:05endangered status, it. Now, what is
37. 2:15interesting, um, regarding gibbons is
38. 2:17that, like the title says, they have a
39. 2:20loud call. This is the type in in
40. 2:25Mentawai, Mentawai Islands. Next, this
41. 2:38is the Javan gibbon; it already has a
42. 2:41sound as well. This is the one in
43. 3:02Muelleri in the northern part of East
44. 3:04Kalimantan starting from the Wehea
45. 3:06forest and its surroundings. Maybe
46. 3:10there is a sound. Oh, there isn't. Next
47. 3:19. This is the agilis in Sumatra. So, if
48. 3:26this is the Ungko, which we often
49. 3:29encounter throughout, um, Sumatra,
50. 3:35starting from below Lake Toba to the
51. 3:38east, right, to South Sumatra. There
52. 3:45are two, sometimes there are two color
53. 3:47variations, which are, light brown like
54. 3:49this, and also the dark ones. Then next
55. 3:54. Siamang, yes, this is the largest
56. 4:01among the gibbon species in the world,
57. 4:04spread from Aceh to the easternmost
58. 4:06part of Sumatra. Next. Now, this is
59. 4:17starting to be a focus in one of the
60. 4:19areas in Java that my friends and I are
61. 4:21currently working on, specifically
62. 4:24gibbon calls. So, I am currently very
63. 4:28active with the calls, and I have taken
64. 4:31one focus of activity at a location in
65. 4:34Central Java outside of the
66. 4:35conservation area. And what started the
67. 4:40activities of my friends and me
68. 4:42currently, was from research that I
69. 4:45conducted in the year 2000, Uh, 2008 to
70. 4:502010, at that time I was still at the,
71. 4:52at the wildlife lab with Mas Setiawan
72. 4:54as well. So, at that time, we started,
73. 4:58uh, this survey and from, uh, this
74. 5:01research, I then chose one location
75. 5:03that became, uh, what can I say, uh,
76. 5:06the most densely populated at that time
77. 5:09that we found, namely in Petung Kriono,
78. 5:12Petungkriono District, in the Sawo
79. 5:14Kembang forest, which then, uh, we felt
80. 5:17, if it was just research, yeah, it
81. 5:22wouldn't be enough to answer or provide
82. 5:25a solution for the conservation of this
83. 5:27animal, and it’s more about combining
84. 5:30research with other conservation
85. 5:32activities up until now. Next. Now,
86. 5:40this is quite interesting, what we
87. 5:42found in Petung Kriono, that, uh, one
88. 5:45of the initial things was that coffee
89. 5:48became a threat to the gibbons, because
90. 5:50, uh, in many places, of the 13
91. 5:53locations we mentioned in Central Java,
92. 5:56the, uh, coffee planting, uh, yeah,
93. 5:58involved clearing natural forests,
94. 6:01right. So, in Java, it’s a bit
95. 6:03different perhaps compared to
96. 6:05Kalimantan because almost all of this
97. 6:08area is under state forestry and many
98. 6:10people utilize that land for forest
99. 6:13commodity products, and one of them is
100. 6:15coffee. And this coffee, actually, uh,
101. 6:19when we started in 2012, was a threat
102. 6:22because in almost every location where
103. 6:24we found gibbons, there was coffee
104. 6:26there. And then this sparked a project
105. 6:31idea in 2008, the Coffee and Primate
106. 6:33Conservation Project, which, which is
107. 6:38actually a practice, there is one
108. 6:40practice, uh, a coffee cultivation
109. 6:42system in the forest like the one in
110. 6:44Sawo Kembang that we must encourage. So
111. 6:47, between, uh, the community gaining
112. 6:50economic benefits, they can also
113. 6:52protect the forest like that. And this
114. 6:56is what we keep pushing, practices of,
115. 7:00uh, what is it, uh, land use and
116. 7:02protected animals that are on the land,
117. 7:05and through coffee, it finally becomes
118. 7:09a medium to introduce the Javan gibbon
119. 7:12as well. As a leader, and in the early
120. 7:17stages of the project, indeed those of
121. 7:19us who were only involved in research
122. 7:21also had to learn about business, and
123. 7:24also how this coffee, this coffee
124. 7:26business runs. And in the early
125. 7:30activities, it was about how to involve
126. 7:34, uh, the active hunters at that time
127. 7:37to stop and, uh, find a more
128. 7:40sustainable job. And one of them is
129. 7:44this coffee, which actually has quite a
130. 7:48high economic value. Next, so, after
131. 7:56all this time, up until now, it is
132. 7:58still running, uh, some consistency,
133. 8:00what is it, uh, the involvement of
134. 8:02these residents is quite, quite, quite
135. 8:04worth being proud of. And finally, new
136. 8:09jobs emerged that didn't exist before,
137. 8:13like coffee processors, roasters, and
138. 8:17other roles related to the coffee
139. 8:20production chain and business that
140. 8:24popped up locally. This also motivates
141. 8:30our network to promote Javan gibbon
142. 8:33coffee, or coffee from the gibbon's
143. 8:35habitat, as a marketing tool for gibbon
144. 8:38conservation in Central Java, which we
145. 8:41continue to push. Next. Yeah. This
146. 8:50means that entrepreneurship is also
147. 8:51very important. We, as a small
148. 8:54organization, feel that way. Many
149. 8:58conservation projects in Indonesia are
150. 9:02heavily dependent on foreign donors, so
151. 9:05we feel it's time we manage our own
152. 9:09finances independently, even if on a
153. 9:12small scale. This is proven by our
154. 9:18coffee and conservation project, which
155. 9:21is still running; we can build
156. 9:23profitable business partnerships while
157. 9:25simultaneously preserving the forests
158. 9:28where the gibbons live. Moving on. This
159. 9:35is one of the economic values. In 2017,
160. 9:39we started exporting to Singapore, and
161. 9:43to this day, we continue to receive
162. 9:47significant value for our activities at
163. 9:51Swara, allowing us to expand to
164. 9:55surrounding villages, not just Sa
165. 9:58Kembang. Okay, next. Now, this is a
166. 10:07marketing strategy; after creating a
167. 10:11product, we must also be able to sell
168. 10:14it. This means we need market
169. 10:18penetration, using schemes recognized
170. 10:22by the market. How can this coffee be
171. 10:27sold or accepted in the market? I think
172. 10:32official recognition or certifications,
173. 10:36or perhaps other measures, are very
174. 10:40important. Consumers and what,
175. 10:53wildlife-friendly, produced from this
176. 10:57project location. Yeah. I think this
177. 11:07marketing strategy is something we have
178. 11:09to think about and be capable of.
179. 11:13Because if our product remains just a
180. 11:16commodity, with no extra value, we will
181. 11:19surely lose to other local products.
182. 11:23And In 2013, we went to the Singapore
183. 11:29Zoo and sold our coffee there, which
184. 11:32encouraged the continuation of these
185. 11:35activities up to this day. So When in
186. 11:41Singapore, don't forget to stop by our
187. 11:43own coffee stall there. Wow, next.
188. 11:52After we did the survey in 2010, we
189. 11:55conducted a follow-up in 2023 on the
190. 12:00landscape we started in 2008, where the
191. 12:04initial gibbon population was around
192. 12:08800. It turns out that now, there is
193. 12:12already a population of 2,000. What is
194. 12:18also worrying is the forest
195. 12:19fragmentation that is becoming, uh,
196. 12:21wider, yes, getting worse in several
197. 12:23locations. Continue. Aha. These are our
198. 12:37activities in the gibbon sound and
199. 12:38conservation, yes. So, we have had
200. 12:42routine activities since 2013, namely,
201. 12:44uh, regeneration, which aims to
202. 12:46regenerate researchers and gibbon
203. 12:48conservation activists. And since 2013,
204. 12:52we have been conducting, uh, well, uh,
205. 12:55special training for gibbon survey
206. 12:57methods. Introducing people, inviting,
207. 13:01what, students or staff, uh, of
208. 13:04forestry or, uh, NGOs who are
209. 13:06interested, for, for us to come, we ask
210. 13:08them, to introduce them to how the
211. 13:11gibbon survey technique itself works.
212. 13:15Because, uh, we think this program is
213. 13:18also popular, these gibbon species,
214. 13:21among, conservationists in Indonesia,
215. 13:24and finally, until now there are
216. 13:27perhaps hundreds of alumni spread
217. 13:29across all, uh, nine species, uh, in
218. 13:32Indonesia. Now there is already a
219. 13:36network conducting, even the smallest,
220. 13:39small-scale activities related to
221. 13:42gibbons, and one of them is actually in
222. 13:45MAWi, uh, next. That was in 2015, we
223. 13:52invited participants, uh, to that. Then
224. 14:01we try, uh, to push for conservation
225. 14:06activities also for, uh, primates or
226. 14:12gibbons that are only there and, uh,
227. 14:16quite important needs that are there.
228. 14:22There are not many research activities
229. 14:24and it is high because since what, the
230. 14:27Sundaland separated, it was mentioned
231. 14:29that 500 years prior, this was already
232. 14:32isolated, so the endemicity is quite
233. 14:34high and, uh, currently there are six
234. 14:37species in the Mentawai Islands and we
235. 14:39then focus on, uh, the Kloss's gibbon
236. 14:42which has, uh, cultural strength.
237. 14:45Certainly, the experience in Central
238. 14:47Java is very different from, from that
239. 14:49in Mentawai, yes. Finally, trying to
240. 14:51approach, what, uh, doing it culturally
241. 14:54, uh, also for gibbon conservation in,
242. 14:57in Mentawai. Next. So this is, if, uh,
243. 15:05try to click again, the morning call is
244. 15:11very different indeed. Previously. Can
245. 15:17the sound be
246. 15:22not there, right? Bring it closer to
247. 15:26the sound program image up there, Mas.
248. 16:23Yes, that is the female's sound that we
249. 16:26can fully hear, usually in the morning.
250. 16:30Yes, next. Yes, the sound is similar to
251. 16:35a bird. That is absolutely correct. Uh,
252. 16:37this, this is one of the cultural
253. 16:39strengths in Mentawai. So there is the
254. 16:41UMA and the SIKEREI. Next, uh, that is
255. 16:44the center of, uh, cultural activities
256. 16:47which until now is actually quite
257. 16:50closely related to, with nature and, uh
258. 16:53, what, uh, largely related to natural
259. 17:00conditions which currently are also
260. 17:01very, very, uh, what, uh, the
261. 17:03challenges are getting harder to apply
262. 17:05these customary rules there. And and
263. 17:08next, try to click again. Now, this is
264. 17:14one, try clicking it, uh, a dance
265. 17:17performance that actually, uh, tells
266. 17:20the story about him, uh, who is in
267. 17:23there, and this has become, uh, one of
268. 17:27the rituals. And I think this is one of
269. 17:31the, uh, first dances that exists in
270. 17:34Indonesia, which is from this quite,
271. 17:44you know, uh, very, er, closely
272. 17:46connected to, uh, natural conditions
273. 17:49and tells from generation to generation
274. 17:52that this is Zilo, who is actually
275. 17:54quite close to them. But the current
276. 17:58condition is also very worrying. Almost
277. 18:00all, uh, of those outside the
278. 18:02conservation area have lost a lot of,
279. 18:03uh, uh, forest for, for, land and also
280. 18:05for residential use and quite, and what
281. 18:06we are doing is also trying to look at,
282. 18:08uh, uh, the culture, how this, uh,
283. 18:11social power, uh, exists in Siberut to
284. 18:13this day, because, and sikerei, sikerei
285. 18:14is like a shaman, you know. So that is
286. 18:20the center of, uh, cultural activities
287. 18:24which is also increasingly disappearing
288. 18:27. Uh, even on other islands besides
289. 18:30Siberut, like Sipora, it's no longer
290. 18:31there, the sikerei is no longer there,
291. 18:32and what exists now, the umah (
292. 18:33traditional houses) are also quite old.
293. 18:36And what comes next? Will this, uh,
294. 18:50culture of the Mentawai also withstand,
295. 18:52or will it face quite complex
296. 18:53challenges in the future? Next, this is
297. 18:55what we are trying to encourage there
298. 18:56through, yes, a small scale from, from
299. 18:57a tribal group, one of those there, we
300. 18:58collaborated with Maling, one of the
301. 18:59people who has a house there, a member
302. 19:00of the tribe, to, yes, try to
303. 19:01appreciate the animals or, uh,
304. 19:02creatures that they previously hunted,
305. 19:03but, uh, have stopped hunting now. And
306. 19:07every year, starting in 2018, we try
307. 19:14our activities for education there
308. 19:21teaching them to observe the forest,
309. 19:28observe fauna, bird watching, and some
310. 19:35universities that are quite, quite,
311. 19:36this is now also very good for
312. 19:38collecting visual documentation photos
313. 19:39for education. Our educational goal is
314. 19:43to be able to make that book, uh, a
315. 19:45field guide there for teachers, to be
316. 19:47distributed in schools there so that,
317. 19:49uh, yes, so that the current generation
318. 19:50also understands about appreciating
319. 19:52that, all this time, all animals were
320. 19:54hunted, but now we must preserve them
321. 19:56like that. Next, well, this is what Ibu
322. 20:05Ilmi mentioned at the beginning, uh,
323. 20:14all these conservation areas have
324. 20:23coffee, right. Now, this is one more,
325. 20:28ma'am, add one more, it must become
326. 20:29adventure tourism and this is quite
327. 20:30good there and, and it's also
328. 20:30pride-inducing, uh, we can build
329. 20:31cooperation and also invite, uh, people
330. 20:32who want to appreciate what we have,
331. 20:33value what we have. Now, this is to see
332. 20:42nature and this is also below. (No
333. 20:57translation provided for this segment)
334. 21:00Finally, we formed a small group for
335. 21:03related special interests, as many
336. 21:06tourists were coming to see specific
337. 21:09types of primates and birds, which
338. 21:12ultimately encouraged the protection of
339. 21:15those forests. Approaching other
340. 21:20members of the tribe. How this can be
341. 21:24appreciated instead of hunted, because
342. 21:27there are people willing to pay to see
343. 21:30them in the wild, and I think this has
344. 21:33great potential to be developed, and
345. 21:36that is the real story. Thank you.
346. 21:39Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and
347. 21:41blessings.
