Global Ecology and Conservation
Indonesia, a global biodiversity hotspot, confronts escalating threats from land-use change, triggering extensive forest fragmentation and threatening biodiversity. This review by Dr. Tien Lastini, S. Hut., M.Si. and her colleagues synthesize existing literature on Indonesian forest fragmentation, highlighting key findings, methodologies, and knowledge gaps. Pressures such as agricultural expansion and infrastructure development induce changes in forest conditions and biodiversity, resulting in diverse impacts such as habitat destruction, altered animal behaviors, and human-wildlife conflict. We propose a comprehensive biodiversity conservation strategy for fragmented landscapes, encompassing integrated land use planning, habitat connectivity, restoration, wildlife-friendly infrastructure, agroecology, community-based conservation, buffer zones, invasive species management, education, outreach, transboundary cooperation, translocation, monitoring, research, and innovation.
