| Mapping of possible corridors for Javan Leopard (_Panthera pardus spp. melas_) between Gunung Merapi and Gunung Merababu Naitonal Parks, Indonesia | |
| 2015 Full Book | |
Javan Leopard (_Panthera pardus spp. melas_) as the remain big cat species in Java Island after the extinction of Javan Tiger in 1980s has been detected occupying the area of Gunung Merapi and Gunung Merbabu National Parks. Its population is threatened by habitat loss, fragmentation habitat, volcanic and wildfire hazard. Unfortunately, the distribution of this species has not been identified. In addition, since those habitats are separated by a main road and highly populated settlements, the research about corridors for the leopards also have not been conducted yet. Considering the facts above, the main objective of this research is to predict and map the possible corridor for Javan Leopard between Gunung Merapi and Gunung Merbabu NPs landscape by using remote sensing and GIS approach. In order to achieve that, Species Distribution Modelling (MaxEnt) was demonstrated to predict the leopards' distribution and Least Cost Path was applied to figure out the possible paths which connect those two NPs. |
