EX-SITU CONSERVATION OF PLANT SPECIES IN INDONESIA WITH A FOCUS ON WALLACEA

Abstract
Biodiversity conservation is a national priority in Indonesia as a part of the implementation of sustainable development. Both in-situ and ex-situ conservation should be practised so as to make certain that biodiversity can be conserved, studied and sustainably utilized. The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) and Ministry of Environment & Forestry (KLHK) are responsible for the conservation of biodiversity as the scientific authority and management authority, respectively. Several pathways of ex-situ conservation may be undertaken through restoration of degraded ecosystems, improvement of fallows, development of arboreta, botanical gardens (BG), city parks, and biodiversity parks, planting road-side trees and rehabilitation of degraded lands using indigenous species, particularly rare and protected species. Ex-situ conservation of plant species through the above-mentioned pathways will become increasingly important, as in-situ conservation is facing many constraints. Several sites in Wallacea have been designated as ex-situ conservation areas such as the Toraut Arboretum at Bogani Nani Warta Bone in North Sulawesi [proposed by the Wallacea Development Institute (WDI), and established by local government in 1994], and five new botanical gardens: Massenrempulu, Jompie, Minahasa, Pucak, and Kendari. This paper describes the roles of the floristic conservation pathways and outlines the development of the above-mentioned arboretum and botanical gardens as case examples.

GEOGRAPHICAL AND GENETIC DIVERSITY OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS IN THE WALLACEA, INDONESIA

Abstract
Ambon Bay is situated in the Wallacea biogeographical area. Despite various studies on marine natural resources reported from this bay, limited information is available on marine bacteria that produce compounds with potential biotechnological applications. We report here preliminary results of our attempt to isolate bacteria of this group from Ambon Bay. Nine different isolates were obtained, but only eight indicated potential as producers of compounds with biotechnological potential. Two isolates indicated agarolytic bacteria characteristics, whereas one showed the properties of exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing bacteria. Three isolates produced various pigments. Two were identified tentatively as members of actinomycetes, a group known as a prolific producer of antimicrobial compounds. Preliminary identification of the cell morphologies of each isolate revealed the dominance of cocci-shaped bacteria. Most of them showed optimal growth in 1 to 7 days when incubated at 30°C. These results indicate that Ambon Bay waters and the surrounding area could harbour marine bacteria with potential features for biotechnological applications.

MINING MICROBIAL SYMBIONTS FOR SPONGE-DERIVED NATURAL PRODUCTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE WALLACEA
Christine M. Theodore & Phillip Crews*
*Corresponding author. E-mail: pcrews@ucsc.edu
Abstract
The Indonesian Coral Triangle is a biodiversity hotspot bisected by the Wallace line. It is becoming clear that ecological and anthropogenic factors are impacting the region. Our research is focused on the biosynthetic products of sponges. These natural products, which are beneficial to human health, will be lost if biodiversity were to decrease. For decades, chemists have looked to marine sponges as a source of novel pharmaceuticals. Over time, there has been growing suspicion these metabolites may actually be produced by microbial symbionts. Herein, we discuss a brief history of sponge natural products chemistry. Sponge associated microorganisms and their likely role in the production of clinically relevant compounds are explored through three case studies. The potential intellectual and pharmaceutical impact locked within the sponges of the Indonesian Coral Triangle is immense. We conclude that conservation, protection and management of this resource are vital from an ecological and human health perspective.

HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH A MOLUCCAN WOODCOCK: EXPERIENCES OF A MODERN FIELD BIOLOGIST IN WALLACEA
John C. Mittermeier*
*Corresponding author. E-mail: john.mittermeier@gmail.com
Abstract
One hundred and fifty years after Alfred Russel Wallace visited the Malay Archipelago much still remains to be discovered about the fascinating species that inhabit the islands now known as Wallacea. While modern fieldwork brings opportunities, and a few difficulties, that Wallace himself would not have imagined, many of the challenges facing field biologists in the twenty-first century are the same as those experienced by Wallace himself. Here I describe the struggles and excitement of Wallacean fieldwork through our efforts to obtain the first photographs of an endangered bird species, the Moluccan Woodcock Scolopax rochussenii, on Obi Island in the Northern Moluccas.
