Quarry Sandy Clay Hambalang A short overview of landscape elements and biodiversity Research Location Biodiversity and Sustainability Wetlands Area of Quarry Sandyclay Hambalang Permanent ponds surrounded by tree Temporary small wetlands Highly structured shallow wetland with ready vegetation Small rivers over rocks and cliffs Biodiversity and Sustainability Terrestial Landscape Element of Quarry Sandyclay Hambalang Cliff faces with limited vegetation Dry, barren areas with little vegetation on the upper benches Mature tree plantations Areas of shrubs and small bushes Biodiversity and Sustainability Significant species at Hambalang According to the short survey, Hambalang appears to provide significant habitats for the following species groups: Birds (Aves) Herpetofauna (Amphibia, Reptilia) Mammals (Mammalia) Dragonflies (Odonata), Butterflies (Lepidoptera), Grasshoppers (Orthoptera) Plants (Plantae) Biodiversity and Sustainability Butterflies (Lepidoptera) Butterflies were seen commonly in all landscape elements, but especially at the lowest level where vegetation is plentiful Many species were seen taking in minerals on moist clay soil Vegetation diversity suggest reproduction by many species Biodiversity and Sustainability Grasshoppers (Orthoptera) Grasshoppers were very common on the dry upper benches and also the wetlands on the lowest levels Many different species are involved, suggesting that Hambalang offers significant habitats for this group Biodiversity and Sustainability Dragonflies (Odonata) Dragonflies were encountered with many species around the wetlands on the lowest level of the quarry Other areas away from wetlands were used for hunting, especially the cliffs Biodiversity and Sustainability Mammals (Mammalia) No species encountered, but tracks indicate the presence of several medium to large species. In some Place we were found monkey Biodiversity and Sustainability Herpetofauna (Amphibia, Reptilia) Frogs were very common in wetlands area especially in transition area, and Lizards were founded in mature tree area Biodiversity and Sustainability Birds (Aves) Female Painted Snipe Berkik-kembang besar Yellow Bittern Bambangan kuning Javan Kingfisher Cekakak jawa Golden-headed Cisticola Cici merah Biodiversity and Sustainability Thank you for your attention We hope this presentation leaves you inspired Biodiversity and Sustainability
