Main Ideas & Concepts

  • Biodiversity (keanekaragaman hayati) is the diversity of life at three connected levels:
    1. Genetic diversity (keanekaragaman gen)
    2. Species diversity (keanekaragaman jenis/tipe)
    3. Ecosystem diversity (keanekaragaman ekosistem)
  • These three levels are interconnected, so changes in one level can affect the others.

1) Genetic Diversity (Keanekaragaman Gen)

  • Genes are chemical substances that determine hereditary traits of each individual.
  • Genes exist in many different forms (alleles).
  • When individuals with different characters mate/cross, offspring show more variation because genes combine from both parents.

Examples

  • Snail species Cepaea nemoralis Same species, but different shell colors due to different alleles (gene-level variation).

  • Bananas Different varieties (shape, size, taste) despite still being “bananas,” showing gene-level diversity.

2) Species Diversity (Keanekaragaman Jenis/Tipe)

Species/types are characterized by:

  • Morphological, anatomical, and physiological similarities
  • Ability to mate with each other

Species diversity refers to the variations found between different species/types.

Examples

  • Onion plants family (Allium)
    • Allium cepa var. agregatum
    • Allium sativum (garlic)
    • Red onions and other Allium varieties mentioned
  • Big cat family (genus Panthera)
    • Lion (Panthera leo)
    • Tiger (Panthera tigris)
    • Leopard (Panthera pardus)
    • Jaguar (Panthera onca)

3) Ecosystem Diversity (Keanekaragaman Ekosistem)

  • An ecosystem is the interaction between:
    • Living organisms with each other
    • Living organisms with their abiotic environment (non-living factors)
  • Different abiotic conditions lead to different types of organisms that can adapt, creating ecosystem diversity.

Examples of Ecosystem Types

  • Mountain vegetation ecosystems
  • Grassland vegetation
  • Mountain forest vegetation
  • Tropical rainforests
  • Beaches
  • Freshwater and seawater
  • Artificial ecosystems

Indonesia-Specific Examples (Plant Distribution by Environment)

  • Coconut trees thrive in coastal areas
  • Sugar palm trees thrive in mountain areas
  • Palm and areca nut trees thrive in lowland areas

Indonesia’s Biodiversity: Distribution of Fauna and Flora

Indonesia is described as:

  • Located in the tropics
  • Between two continents
  • Having the second-highest biodiversity after Brazil
  • Known as a “mega biodiversity” country and the world’s botanical warehouse

A) Distribution of Fauna (Animals)

Based on two imaginary dividing lines:

  • Wallace Line (Garis Wallace)
  • Weber Line (Garis Weber)

Divides Indonesia into three areas:

  1. West of the Wallace Line → mostly Oriental (Asian) fauna
    • Examples: elephants, tapirs, one-horned rhinos, Sumatran tigers, orangutans, proboscis monkeys, sun bears
    • Includes: Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan
  2. Between Wallace and Weber lines (transition area)
    • Includes: Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara
    • Animal overlap occurs:
      • Oriental animals crossing into Sulawesi (examples: owls, squirrels, pigs)
      • Australian animals present too (examples: maleo, anoa, tarsier)
  3. East of the Weber Line → mostly Australian fauna
    • Includes: Maluku and Papua
    • Examples: cassowaries, parrots/parakeets, marsupials (tree kangaroos, wallabies), Komodo dragons, deer, pigs, cuscus

B) Distribution of Flora (Plants)

Divided into three vegetation types:

  1. Wet tropical forests
    • Many types of trees (examples mentioned: nutmeg tribe, black wood, mangosteen)
    • Lianas (climbing vines), e.g., taro-like creeping plants, climbing pandan
    • Climbing palms/rattan
    • Large herbal plants (examples: ginger, bananas)
    • Epiphytic plants (ferns, orchids)
    • Parasitic plants (example mentioned: Rafflesia arnoldii)
  2. Seasonal forests
    • Dominated by plants producing wood/oil and food (examples: teak, sandalwood, eucalyptus, candlenut, tamarind)
  3. Savanna grasslands
    • Many palm trees, gebang trees, acacia, cactus

Threats to Biodiversity (Causes of Decline)

  • Human industrial development can threaten biodiversity sustainability, leading to decline in quality and quantity.

Causes listed

  • Destruction/destruction of habitats
  • Introduction of new animal/plant species into habitats without careful research
  • Excessive use/overexploitation of plant and animal species in a habitat
  • Environmental pollution in ecosystems
  • Climate change (e.g., global warming)
  • Development of agricultural and forestry industries
  • Overexploitation during metal mining
  • Use/extraction of marine biota

Vulnerable/Endangered Animals Mentioned

  • Orangutans, rhinos, bulls, tapirs, sun bears, elephants, anoas

Conservation Efforts to Preserve Biodiversity

In-situ Conservation (Konservasi In-situ)

  • Preserving biodiversity in its natural habitat
  • Examples given:
    • National parks
    • Nature reserves

Ex-situ Conservation (Konservasi Ex-situ)

  • Preserving biodiversity by removing it from its habitat and keeping it in another place
  • Examples given:
    • Zoos
    • Animal collections
    • Botanical gardens

Benefits of Biodiversity for Humans

Biodiversity provides many benefits, including:

  • Food
  • Clothing
  • Building materials
  • Household goods/materials for cultivation
  • Sources of germplasm for science
  • Medicinal materials
  • Beauty/ornamentals

Examples of Benefits (as listed)

  • Food sources
    • Staple foods: rice, corn, wheat, sago, sweet potatoes
    • Side dishes: fish, chicken, cow, goat, shrimp
    • Vegetables: spinach, kale, cabbage, etc.
    • Fruits (general category)
  • Clothing materials
    • Cotton, silkworms, sheep’s hair
  • Building materials & household/craft materials
    • Teak, mahogany, bangkirai, sengon, ironwood, coconut trees, bamboo
  • Income through cultivation
    • Animal raising: laying hens, broiler chickens, dairy cows, freshwater fisheries
    • Plant cultivation: fruit plants, vegetables, spices, ornamental plants, plantation crops
  • Medicines
    • Noni fruit: preventing/treating high blood pressure and diabetes
    • “Mustache plant” (as stated): effectiveness for kidney stones (as claimed)
    • Earthworms: treating typhus
  • Beauty/ornamentals
    • Anthurium, ornamental plants, “monstera” (mentioned), and other ornamental examples (as stated)

Germplasm and Related Technology

  • Germplasm is material carrying hereditary traits in the form of whole organs or parts of plants/animals, used to create new superior organisms.
  • Germplasm helps maintain trait characteristics across generations (examples mentioned):
    • “Rojolele rice” passes rojolele traits
    • “Butter cassava” passes butter cassava traits
    • “Cilembu sweet potato” passes Cilembu traits
  • Mentioned breeding methods:
    • Tissue culture in plants
    • Cloning in animals
