IDENTIFIKASI BENTUK KONFLIK HARIMAU SUMATERA (PANTHERA TIGRIS SUMATREA) DENGAN MASYARAKAT DI KECAMATAN PASIE RAYA KABUPATEN ACEH JAYA
The conflict between Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae) and local communities is a conservation issue that requires serious attention, including in Pasie Raya Subdistrict, Aceh Jaya Regency. The aim of this study is to identify the forms of conflict occurring between the community and Sumatran tigers, as well as the conflict management actions undertaken by the local people. This study uses the One Score One Criteria System approach, and data analysis was carried out using scoring analysis. The results show that the conflicts include attacks on livestock, threats to human safety, and damage to fields or plantations caused by wildlife. The main factors contributing to the conflict include habitat degradation due to land-use change, forest fragmentation, and a lack of conflict mitigation efforts. The impact of the conflict not only causes economic losses for the community but also leads to social tensions and poses a threat to the survival of the critically endangered Sumatran tiger population. Addressing the conflict between Sumatran tigers and local communities in Aceh Jaya requires the development of a community-based conflict management system.

ANALISIS PERAMBAHAN KAWASAN KONSERVASI TAMAN NASIONAL GUNUNG LEUSER DENGAN PENDEKATAN DRIVERS-PRESSURES-STATE-IMPACT-RESPONSES (DPSIR)
Gunung Leuser National Park (GLNP) is an important conservation area in Aceh with high biodiversity, but it is currently under pressure due to forest encroachment for agricultural and plantation development. One of the affected areas is Gampong Pucuk Lembang, Kluet Timur Subdistrict, South Aceh Regency. This study analyzes the driving factors, impacts, and responses to forest encroachment using the DPSIR (Driving Forces–Pressures–State–Impacts–Responses) framework. A descriptive qualitative method was employed through observations, interviews, and questionnaires involving 76 respondents. The results show that encroachment is driven by economic needs, limited productive land, and the lack of alternative livelihoods. The impacts include reduced forest cover and increased risks of flooding and landslides. Response efforts such as forest patrols, environmental education, and community economic empowerment have been implemented but remain suboptimal. This study concludes that reducing forest encroachment in GLNP requires improving community welfare and raising awareness of environmental conservation. In addition, more sustainable livelihood alternatives and stricter law enforcement are necessary to address encroachment effectively. The findings are expected to provide a foundation for developing more sustainable conservation area management policies that balance environmental preservation and community well-being.

ANALISIS DAMPAK KEBAKARAN HUTAN TERHADAP SIFAT KIMIA TANAH DI TAHURA POCUT MEURAH INTAN ACEH
Forests are a valuable resource for living creatures. Forest disturbances are increasing, one of which is caused by fires. Forest fires impact the chemical properties of soil. The aim of this research is to determine and analyze the impact of forest fires on the chemical properties of soil in Tahura Pocut Meurah Intan Aceh, so that when forest and land rehabilitation is carried out it will be easier to manage them.Testing of soil samples is carried out in the laboratory, then data analysis is carried out referring to the established criteria for assessing soil chemical properties. The parameters observed were soil pH, C-organic, N-total, P-available, K-exchangeable (K-exc), and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). The results of the study showed that the chemical properties of the soil have the same criteria between unburned and burned land, namely: C-organic value and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). The N-total and K- exchangeable (K-exc) values are higher in unburned land compared to burned land. While the P-available and soil pH values are lower in unburned land compared to burned land. Alternative directions for rehabilitating pre-burn and post-burn forests and land, prioritized by: (1) Vegetative Method: Selecting types of plants that grow quickly and are tolerant of high acidity such as Jabon, Mahogany, Acacia, Eucalyptus, Pulai, Sungkai, and Pine. To increase soil pH and fertility in Ultisol soil, dolomite and organic fertilizer are given: manure and compost and inorganic fertilizer (NPK fertilizer) before planting; (2) Civil Technical Method: Building water reservoirs, fire breaks and land management without burning; (3) Non-Technical Method: Socialization, counseling and increasing the role of the community in forest and land fires, as well as training and simulations for forest and land fire management.

EFEKTIVITAS KEBIJAKAN PPTPKH TERHADAP RESOLUSI KONFLIK TENURIAL DI KECAMATAN ATU LINTANG, ACEH TENGAH
Tenurial conflict in forest areas remains a complex structural problem affecting environmental sustainability, community welfare, and forest governance. Land conversion from forest areas into coffee plantations and other crops in Atu Lintang District has triggered persistent tenure conflicts between communities and the government. This study aims to analyze causal factors, policy implementation, impacts, and settlement patterns of tenure conflict through the Land Tenure Settlement in Forest Area Planning (PPTPKH) policy. A mixed-method descriptive approach combining policy study and case study was applied. Data were collected through interviews, observation, questionnaires, and institutional documents. Results indicate that tenure conflicts arise due to intergenerational land occupation, limited land outside forest areas, differing perceptions of forest status, and weak legal certainty. Implementation of PPTPKH contributes to conflict reduction by providing legal recognition and management access, although limitations remain due to incomplete inclusion of community land claims. Strengthening transparency, stakeholder participation, and monitoring mechanisms is recommended to enhance policy effectiveness.

ANALISIS VEGETASI HABITAT KEDIH (Presbytis thomasi) DI STASIUN PENELITIAN SORAYA KAWASAN EKOSISTEM LEUSER
The natural habitat of the Kedih (Presbytis thomasi), an endemic primate of northern Sumatra, is increasingly threatened by illegal logging activities. This issue is also prevalent around the Leuser Ecosystem Area, one of the key habitats for Kedih. The Soraya Research Station, located within the Leuser Ecosystem, serves as an important habitat for this species. This study aims to determine the composition and structure of vegetation as a crucial component of the Kedih's habitat in the area. The research employed a field survey method using a line plot sampling technique. A total of 100 plots were established, with plot sizes of 2×2 m for seedlings, 5×5 m for saplings, 10×10 m for poles, and 20×20 m for trees. Materials used in this study included tally sheets and the vegetation present in the Kedih’s habitat (Presbytis thomasi), while the tools included: 1) nylon rope; 2) measuring tape; 3) compass; 4) smartphone with Avenza Maps installed; 5) measuring tape; 6) hagameter; 7) binoculars; 8) tally sheets and writing tools; 9) camera; 10) reference books. Recorded data included species count, stem diameter, crown-free height, and total height. Data analysis used the Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index and Importance Value Index (IVI). The results revealed 145 species from 45 families with a total of 1,914 individual plants. At the tree level, dominant species included Sloetia elongata and Shorea multiflora. The pole level was dominated by Sloetia elongata and Mallotus paniculatus, while the sapling level was dominated by Mallotus paniculatus and Glochidion glomerulatum. For seedlings, the dominant species were Mallotus paniculatus and Knema laurina. The vegetation diversity index ranged from moderate to high, indicating that the forest structure still supports the ecological function of the Kedih habitat. These findings highlight the importance of certain species such as those from the Moraceae and Euphorbiaceae families in maintaining forest ecosystem continuity for arboreal species like Kedih. Therefore, vegetation conservation in this area is crucial to ensuring the sustainability of Kedih populations in their natural habitat.

Study on the transformation of an animal corridor into a botanical forest parkIn trumon sub-district, south aceh district
The Forest Area in Trumon District, South Aceh Regency is a forest area that connects Gunung Leuser National Park (GLNP) with Singkil Wildlife Reserve (SMRS) in Trumon District, South Aceh Regency. This area has an area of ± 2,307 hectares and functions as a buffer zone that allows for animal migration routes between the two areas so that the habitat of key wildlife species such as Rhinos, Elephants, Tigers, Orangutans and various other species is intact (not fragmented). This relatively small area has a major role in maintaining biodiversity, improving ecological dynamics and maintaining the integrity of the overall ecosystem of the surrounding area. Previously part of the area was a residential area that was acquired by the government through the Leuser Development Programme and designated as an Animal Corridor Area based on South Aceh District Head Decree No. 593.33/170.A/1998 dated 20 July 1998. To support proper management of the area, a Conservation Response Unit (CRU) was established between 2011 and 2014.Although it has been designated as a conservation area, the existence of this corridor is inseparable from various human activities that threaten its sustainability so that ± 700.13 ha of corridor area is converted to function and becomes an open area. This encroachment continues to spread to the Singkil Wildlife Reserve Area which is converted into oil palm plantations.The destruction of forests in the animal corridor area and its surroundings has triggered various natural disasters and conflicts between humans and animals, especially elephants, tigers and orangutans.Based on these problems, the management of this animal corridor was upgraded to the status of a Botanical Forest Park (TAHURA).Tahura Trumon was established through a Decree number SK.171/MENLHK/ SETJEN/PLA.2/2/2023 concerning the change of function between Forest Area Functions from a portion of Permanent Production Forest to a Botanical Forest Park (Tahura) covering an area of 1,865 Ha.The ministerial decree instructed the Governor of Aceh to manage TAHURA Trumon in accordance with its new protection status. On 6 December 2023, the Governor of Aceh officially handed over the management of Tahura Trumon to the Regent of South Aceh, which became the starting point for the development of a management plan and management body for Tahura Trumon at the district level.

Socio-economic study of oil palm farmers' behaviour in the buffer zone village of singkil swamp wildlife reserve
The Singkil Wildlife Reserve is located at the end of the Alas-Singkil River estuary, which is increasingly threatened by oil palm plantations. The purpose of the study was to find out the socio-economic situation of the community in the buffer village and to assess the community's knowledge about the Singkil Swamp Wildlife Reserve. The research method used is the survey and interview method with the PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) approach and the determination of the number of respondents using the Sevilla Consuelo 2007 method. The results showed that the buffer community was aware of the existence of Singkil Swamp SM, but did not know its function and clear boundaries. This leads some people to encroach on the area, hunt and engage in other illegal activities. The socio-economic status of the buffer villages is classified as upper middle class, with an average income of Rp 1,500,000 and an average expenditure of over Rp 2,000,000 due to the number of dependents in a family for daily needs and the cost of palm fertiliser. Due to high expenditure compared to income, most people borrow from financial services and take up other jobs such as selling credit, opening stalls and illegal activities in the area. Education of the buffer village communities 82% have formal education, of which 43% are primary school graduates.

STUDI PERILAKU MAKAN ORANGUTAN SUMATERA (PONGO ABELII) DI STASIUN RISET SUAQ BALIMBING ACEH SELATAN
Orangutans are one of the great apes and are classified as frugivorous primates, meaning they consume fruit as their main food source. However, they still need other foods to meet their energy needs, such as flowers, leaves, cambium, pith and insects. This study aimed to determine the eating habits of Sumatran Orangutans (Pongo abelii) at the Suaq Balimbing Research Station, as well as the types of food they consume. The method used was Focal Animal Sampling. Data were recorded using Instantaneous Sampling, which involved observing behaviour every two minutes, and Ad Libitum Sampling, which involved observing behaviour outside the observation time interval. The subjects of observation were adult male and female Orangutans, with two individuals of each sex. The results of the analysis showed that the frequency of eating was 55% higher for Kewin, as he is a dominant adult male. In contrast, the frequency of eating was 43% lower for Trident, as he prefers to taste various foods and look for food sources for his child. Based on observations, Orangutans eat 15 types of fruit, two types of insects, five types of leaves, four types of roots and two types of shoots.
PEMASANGAN PAGAR LISRIK KEJUT DALAM UPAYA MITIGASI KONFLIK GAJAH DI GAMPONG BLANG DALAM KECAMATAN MANE KABUPATEN PIDIE
The Mane District in the Pidie Regency is one of the areas in the Aceh Province where conflicts between humans and wildlife are most common, particularly with Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus). In order to mitigate these conflicts, BKSDA Aceh and FFI collaborated to install a 6.5 km electric shock fence in Gampong Blang Dalam. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of electric shock fences in mitigating elephant conflict. This research was conducted in Gampong Blang Dalam in the Mane District of the Pidie Regency. A purposive sampling technique was used and the observation location was intentionally selected based on the installation area of the electric shock fence. Installing electric shock fences on agricultural land was approved by the community, and conflicts with elephants, as well as community fear, decreased. Socially, installing electric shock fences increased the community's sense of security compared to before. Economically, installing electric shock fences can increase protection of agricultural and plantation crops, improving the community's economy
