"Cagar Alam (CA) Keling II/III merupakan salah satu cagar alam di Jawa Tengah yang mengalami gangguan akibat pemanfaatan masyarakat sekitar, sehingga kawasan tersebut tidak berfungsi sebagaimana awal penunjukannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui keanekaragaman avifauna atau kelompok burung sebagai informasi untuk menentukan rencana pengelolaan di kawasan tersebut. Metode pengamatan burung di lapangan menggunakan point count. Data pengamatan selanjutnya dianalisis dengan menggunakan indeks keanekaragaman Shannon Wiener. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan ditemukan 23 spesies burung dari 6 ordo dan 14 family. Sebanyak enak spesies yang ditemukan tercatat dilindungin dalam peraturan pemerintah No. 7 Tahun 1999 tentang pengawetan jenis tumbuhan dan satwa serta UU No. 5 Tahun 1990 antara lain Halycon Cyanoventris (Bubulcus ibis). Kuntul kecil (egretta garzetta), dan Cinnyris jugularis (burungmadu sriganti). Indeks keanekaragaman (Shabbob Wiener) di kawasan tersebut sebesar 2,68."

"The number of primates on the brink of extinction continues to grow due to threats such as habitat loss, hunting, and disease. The need to respond with effective conservation measures has therefore never been greater. This edited book brings together an international team of contributing authors with wide-ranging expertise to provide a comprehensive synthesis of current research principles and management practices in primate conservation. The chapters are grouped into three sections: background and conceptual issues, threats, and solutions. In the first section, the authors consider why we should conserve primates, summarize the conservation status of primates, discuss species concepts and their relevance to conservation, review primate conservation genetics, and describe primate abundance and distributions. The second section includes discussion of threats from habitat destruction and degradation, primate trade, hunting, infectious diseases, and climate change. The third section considers solutions to primate conservation challenges from several perspectives: protected areas, landscape mosaics, human-primate conflict, reintroduction, ecosystem services, and evidence-based conservation. The book concludes with consideration of some future directions for primate conservation research."

"The importance of conservation is growing each year, with increasing concerns over the destruction of biodiversity and the rising awareness of ecosystem services generating new debates on the human-nature relationship. This compact overview integrates the process, theory and practice of conservation for a broad readership, from students to practitioners. Taking a global perspective, it uses examples from around the world to show how general themes, patterns and drivers acting at different scales come together to cause problems at the local level"-- Provided by publisher."

"This book has a wider approach not strictly focused on crop production compared to other books that are strictly oriented towards bees, but has a generalist approach to pollination biology. It also highlights relationships between introduced and wild pollinators and consequences of such introductions on communities of wild pollinating insects. The chapters on biochemical basis of plant-pollination interaction, pollination energetics, climate change and pollinators and pollinators as bioindicators of ecosystem functioning provide a base for future insights into pollination biology. The role of honeybees and wild bees on crop pollination, value of bee pollination, planned honeybee pollination, non-bee pollinators, safety of pollinators, pollination in cages, pollination for hybrid seed production, the problem of diseases, genetically modified plants and bees, the role of bees in improving food security and livelihoods, capacity building and awareness for pollinators are also discussed."
