Based onassessment criteria and consideration to high conflict potential show that ‘umbrella species' are elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus Temminck, 1847).
Species conservation can be subjective because it is hard to determine the. Primate and mammal diversity index are with the category of low to moderate with abudance index between 5.60-15.32. Umbrella species are species selected for making conservation related decisions. Primate were identified about 6 species and terrestrial mammal of 16 species. Determination of 'umbrella species' is done through valuating by referring to the Department of Forestry criterias (2008). The observation was made using combination of variable circular plot and strip transect methods. The research was carried for six months, from May to October 2015. Conserving the sage-grouse, an umbrella species, helps protect a wide array of other wildlife that rely on the same habitat.
This study was aimed to obtain information wildlife diversity (primates and terrestrial mammals) and ‘umbrella species' on various type of habitats to support conservation programs in the Gunung Leuser National Park (GLNP), of Besitang Watershed, North Sumatera. To protect the bird in the 11 states where it occurs, the federal government has adopted a core-habitat strategy, pioneered in part by Audubon, which aims to limit development on lands most critical to the species’ survival. However, if only the sites supporting the largest butterfly populations are preserved, or if portions of habitat patches classified as being of ‘marginal’ value to the butterfly are lost, then the proportion of plant species receiving protection drops substantially.The determination of ‘umbrella species' in the wildlife conservation implementation is very important to be effective and directed. If all sites presently occupied by the butterfly were preserved intact, upwards of 98% of the native spring-flowering plant species would receive some measure of protection. Umbrella species can be both plants and animals species with either of the species offering protection to the other. A past study of a plan to make grizzly bears an umbrella species in Idaho found, for instance, that birds, mammals, and amphibians would benefit as background species, but most reptiles wouldn’t. Umbrella species is a faster and less expensive means of conservation since it reduces the cost of investment in sampling that is necessary for prioritizing an area for conservation. It is often faster and less expensive to sample a few species than it is to survey the entire assemblage. The concept of an umbrella species is further. The idea of umbrella species is straightforward: the conservation of some species is thought to provide a protective umbrella to numerous co-occurring species. The use of umbrella species as a conservation tool is highly debated.
This study examined the distribution of the butterfly and native grassland plant species across 27 habitat patches in the San Francisco Bay area in an effort to determine the value of the butterfly as an ‘umbrella species’.Ĭonservation activities designed for the Bay checkerspot butterfly were found to provide a tenuous protective umbrella for other elements of the grassland community. Even a carefully chosen umbrella species can leave holes in coverage for certain background species. Animals may also be considered umbrella species if they are charismatic. At the present time only one animal species restricted to this community, the Bay checkerspot butterfly Euphydryas editha bayensis, is protected by the United States Endangered Species Act. Umbrella species are vital to efficient in-situ conservation efforts. The serpentine soil-based grasslands of central California and severely threatened by non-native plant species and suburban sprawl.
