3.4.4 Threatened Trees Species Distribution

The aim of plant species distribution mapping is to identify species that threatened under IUCN List. Preliminary survey during the preparation of the declaration of the national park that was conducted in 2005 by Fernando Santana, was implemented transect data record within three target protected areas such Jaco, Paitchao-Tutuala and Lore Reserve. Survey was applied transect line by observing within radius 200 meters from estimated track line at three different area, Jaco Tutuala and Lore. Data recorded is number of trees species that counted along the track line and stored as tabular format. Statistical data processing is applied to identify dominants tree species, endangered, near threatened, threatened and red list species that must be considered as high values forest that would be protected. Table 7 IUCN protected trees species recorded within several points on surveyed Local Name Scientific Name Family Paitchao Jaco Lore IUCN Aina Pterocarpus indicus Fabaceae 465 5 105 Red List Aibesi Intsia bijuga Fabaceae 128 29 Red List Aimanuhirus Anthiaris toxicaria Moraceae 43 9 Red List Valuvalur Elaeocarpus arnhemicus Elaocarpaceae 16 7 0 Threatened Note: Data in Paitchao, Jaco and Lore are numbers of frequency counted Unfortunately data was recorded without geo-positions marking, and it’s difficult to plot into spatial distribution. Through this data processes discovered the trends of trees that most frequent. Table and figure below are described IUCN protected plants species frequency counted by transect of Tutuala Forest, Jaco Forest and Lore Forest. Appears that Tutuala Forest is the most high frequents of four protected species, while Jaco only recorded two protected species with less number and Lore Forest with three protected species on IUCN Red List on Pterocarpus indicus, Intsia bijuga, Anthiaris toxicaria and no record for Elaocarpaceae. The endemic Indonesia and Timor-Leste, Pterocarpus indicus is highly frequented and follow by Intsia bijuga. 22 Figure 7 Dominant trees species listed in IUCN as protected species
