    This study examined orangutan nests in a high conservation value area of an oil palm plantation in East Kalimantan. The researcher conducted surveys of orangutan nests along transects in four conservation areas that were established 10 years prior. The most common tree species containing nests was the Kijahe tree, making up 19.7% of nests. Nests were found in all age classes from A to E, showing orangutans continue to use the conservation areas. Over half of nests were located at the peak of trees. Most nest trees only contained one nest, and nest height was closely related to tree height since orangutans typically nest in main branches. The ongoing presence

    ABSTRACT

    Guruh Futhu Syurowo Study of Orangutan Nest at High Conservation Value Area of Oil
    Palm Plantation of PT Telen District in East Kutai District of East Kalimantan (Supervised by
    Yaya Rayadin and Albert L. Manurung).
    Several oil palm plantation areas in East Kalimantan initially was built within
    orangutan habitat area, therefore during palm oil plantation activities, several orangutans still
    live in plantation area. Then, for the sake of biodiversity conservation at palm oil plantation
    area, the company has determined HCV (High Conservation Value) in the palm oil plantation
    functioned as a orangutan habitat. Thus, the present study is aimed at conducting study of
    nest for orangutan as well as nest characteristic identification as well as orangutan nest
    density in connection with the existence of orangutan at the HCV area at PT Telen Palm oil
    plantation area. The method used was orangutan nest survey along the survey path (transect)
    at 4 HCV areas of PT Telen. HCV areas of PT Telen in general have been built since 2007,
    thus the present study will give a condition description of orangutan at HCV area after having
    been built for 10 years. From the result of this study, it was shown that orangutan nest which
    was mostly found is the tree type of Kijahe (Croton argyratus) with percentage of 19.7%
    followed with Semecarpus sp. Type. (Forest manggo) 8 nests (12.1%) and Pterospermum
    javanicum 7 nests (10.6%). From the class identification result of nest at ABKT location,
    variation was found from every nest age class, ranging from A to E showing that HCV areas
    of PT Telen are still used as nest by orangutan. Identification result of nest position
    characteristics also shows that the highest percentage value of nest position is on the peak of
    tree (23/45 nests, 51.11%). Meanwhile, the total number of nest per tree is one tree has one
    nest (32/45, nest tree, 71.11%). The relationship between the height of the orangutan nest and
    the height of the nest tree is closely related because most orangutans nest in the position of
    the main branch. Therefore, the greater the height of the orangutan nesting tree, the higher the
    main branching position in the tree. In general, it is shown that after these 10 years, the palm
    oil plantation has just been found out to be built at HCV area, some potential nests of
    orangutan were still found. This shows that orangutan still utilizes the HCV areas as their
    shelter.
