Abstract
I am undertaking a revision of the tropical tree genus Ryparosa Achariaceae, to resolve poor species delineations within this widespread but little studied
taxon. The 26 currently circumscribed tropical trees in the genus Ryparosa Achariaceae Blume. are distributed throughout both the South East Asian and
Australian component of the Malesian bioregion. The current poor state of species recognition in the genus is largely due to the diiculty and timing of capturing
male and female loral morphologies in specimen collections and the oversight of key morphological features of ecophysiological signiicance. Most notably

amongst these are the production of ant reward food bodies and stem domatia to aid myrmecophylic mutualisms to varying extents between species. It is thus
necessary for me to acquire fresh herbarium specimen material for me to properly describe the species relations within the genus. This revision combines phenetic
techniques of agglomerative classiication of morphological and ecophysiological characters in concert with a phylogeny to resolve speciic boundaries. I plan to
collect ield samples in Sulawesi and Kalimantan with the help of staf from Bogor Kebun Raya and perform the analysis in Australia and the United Kingdom on
material collected in Indonesia and other South East Asian countries.

Abstract
A collaborative expedition to Papua Barat in June-July 2014 is proposed involving partners from the RBG Kew and UNIPA. The aim of the expedition is to build upon
the success of recent collaborative ield work to explore and document the lora of the Arfak Mountains especially Saurauia and orchids using conventional

Abstract
The “maidenhair ferns” Adiantum are quintessential ferns—beautifully dissected, terrestrial, and shade-loving. The “shoe-string ferns” vittanoids are highly
simpliied, canopy-dwelling epiphytes exhibiting accelerated rates of molecular evolution. Analyses of DNA sequence data have revealed a surprisingly robust
relationship between Adiantum and the vittarioids. Nonetheless, there are many areas of uncertainty within this lineage, with important consequences for its
taxonomy. To this end, we have begun a global systematic study of this group aiming to clarify generic and subgeneric classiications, while also shedding light on the
origin and evolutionary history of the vittarioids. Adiantum and the vittarioids are most diverse in tropical regions, and the Indonesian lora is especially rich. We have
therefore proposed ieldwork in Indonesia to make collections of these plants, and other associated fern and lycophyte species. Our collections will not only serve to
elucidate relationships within the Adiantumvittarioid assemblage and allow for a reassessment of generic and subgeneric circumscriptions, but will also improve
our understanding of the Indonesian.

Abstract
The challenge of protecting the biodiversity of the planet, while at the same time meeting the needs of local rural populations is one that faces conservation projects
globally. This project is a collaboration between Biosphere Foundation, Yayasan Dwi Asih Scjahicra “YDAS” an Indonesian non-proit foundation, and Menjangan Jungle
Beach Resort, which owned and operate by PTTrimbawan Swastania Sejati TSS. It is being initialed to research agricullure and forestry mclhods that will improve the
economic condition of local subsistence fanners in the region surrounding the West Bali National Park. By improving and diversifying agricultural and forest production, the
project aims to improve the economic condition of the local community thus reducing encroachment on the marine and forest resources of the National Park.
The Project
As local farmers depend almost entirely on their crops for survival, any new crops or fanning systems have lo be fully tested and proven to work well in the local area
before they will be readily adopted. To this end Starting in 2011 2 research plots will be established, one for agricultural research and one for forestry enrichment and erosion
control: 1 The agriculture research plot will be established using one of the plots already
being farmed under 4hc STS method. The 0.4 ha plot will be rented for one year from the farmer and used lo test drought resistant food crops and fodder crops.
Possible candidate crops will include drought resistant bean varieties, chickpea, cassava. Cow pea, Millet and vegetable crops.
The crops will be raised using KM Bokashi fertilizer and compost. Where possible organic methods will be used for pesl control, however as the initial aim is lo lest for
drought tolerance and adaptation lo the local soils, it may be necessary to use some non¬organic pesl controls in the initial trial. The aim will be to extend the growing
season to at leasl six months of the year. To augment water supply research will be

carried out with rain water harvesting techniques and the use of a solar pump lo deliver well water to the crops.
2 The forestry enrichment ami erosion control plot will be established in an area of Ihc monsoon forest that was destroyed by lire in 2007. This 55 I la. area is already
eroded iluc to lack ol forest cover. The plot will initially be cleared of invasive species including iantana camara, Acacia nilotica and Chromolacna odorata. It will
then be planted with tree species that are valued for fodder, wood carving, erosion control, and wild bird food.
These will include: .
Cassia Fistula Golden shower •Xanthaxyluin rhesfsa Crocodile wood Azadurachta indica { Necni tree Manilkara Kauki Wild Sapodilla Sclifeicerct oleosa Lak Tree
Toona sinensis Indonesian Mahogany Albczia lehekkiodes Bast Indian Walnut Tree Acacia leucophloea While Bark Acacia Santalum album Sandalwood
The plot will be monitored for I growth and survival rales of the above species and 2 response of the invasive plants to removal activity.
The time frame for Ihis this initial research phase will be one year and another one year for evaluation. Success indicators in the short term will be an increase in crop
production, and the establishment of healthy trees in the forestry plot ~ a 40 survival rale for the trees will be considered successful. In the long term, indicators
will be the successful adoption of the farmjng and forestry methods by other local larmcrs with a resulting reduction”pressure on the national park resources.
To complete the research opportunity is presented by the establishment of Mount Malimun Salak National Park MMSNP as the biggest Biodiversity Conservation
Centre in Asia by the Minister of Forestry, “lu’s is a collaboration between the National Ministry of Forestry and scholars from University of Indonesia, IPB, and
Gajali Mada University, along with the wide community to build the unit for Centre of Research for Trees and Primary Plants CRTP2 within the national park borders.
Additionally as a research facility, CRTP2 is also intended to educate the wider community around the area on how to tend to tree seedlings so they can be safely
handed over to the community in an attempt for natural plant restoration from degradation within the area.

The Biodiversity Conservation Centre within MHSNPeonsists of four programs i.e.: 1.
Umd degradation restoration 2.
Biodiversity conservation 3.
Community development 4.
Biodiversity and area development Derivation from these programs expands to sustainable sub-programs i.e.
maslerplanning, cultivation, plantation, economicsocialcultural community development, lora fauna conservation, water conservation, environment,
research, and education - these span across short, medium, and long-term timelines within two years from 2010 to 2012.
The immediate activities in the horizon are putting together the Maslerpkm. Held activities related to community socialisation and development, cultivation, and
plantation which will be shortly followed with advice to optimal MHSNP utilisation as both a science research facility and as an ccolourism venue as well.
Willi its relation to community development activities, an agriculture research, forestry enrichment, and erosion control will be conducted as part of the
comparison study for ihis program i.e. for lowland forest area within West Bali and highlands enclosure on Mount lluliimm Salak.
