Abstract

Keberadaan hutan lindung yang tersisa di kawasan Malang Selatan sangat rentan akan kerusakan habitat satwa liar akibat tingginya aktivitas manusia. Keberadaan kukang Jawa (Nycticebus javanicus) saat ini mampu bertahan hidup pada kawasan yang dikeliling oleh aktivitas manusia yang tinggi. Oleh karena itu, pengaruh aktivitas manusia terhadap keberadaan kukang Jawa yang ada di hutan lindung RPH Sumbermanjing Kulon, Jawa Timur perlu diketahui. Pengambilan data titik keberadaan individu kukang Jawa dilakukan secara langsung dan tidak langsung. Wawancara dengan masyarakat dan pencatatan bentuk aktivitas manusia di sekitar hutan lindung RPH Sumbermanjing Kulon, Jawa Timur juga dilakukan untuk mengambil data. Analisis data dilakukan dengan mengukur jarak antara keberadaan kukang Jawa dengan keberadaan aktivitas masyarakat menggunakan program ArcGis 10.3. Berdasarkan perjumpaan langsung dan informasi dari masyarakat ditemukan enam individu kukang Jawa. Kukang Jawa cenderung ditemukan
jauh dari pemukiman dan jalan setapak, namun ditemukan dekat dengan jalan utama dan wisata pantai yang berada di sekitar hutan lindung. Oleh karena itu, keutuhan kawasan hutan lindung perlu tetap dijaga dari segala bentuk aktivitas manusia yang tinggi.
