Stimulus: The Javan rhino is the rarest large mammal on earth, with fewer than 80 individuals left in Ujung Kulon National Park. Their habitat is threatened by invasive plant species that destroy their food sources, and by the risk of natural disasters like tsunamis.

As a wildlife conservationist, how would you solve the complex problem of the Javan rhino’s habitat being threatened by both invasive plants and natural disasters? Provide a strategic plan.

Jawaban: A strategic plan involves two main steps: 1) Active habitat management by systematically removing invasive plant species that destroy their food sources, and replanting their natural food. 2) Establishing a second, separate habitat (translocation) outside of Ujung Kulon. This ensures that if a natural disaster like a tsunami hits one area, the entire population will not be wiped out.

27. [Uraian / Esai] (HOTS)

Stimulus: Bekantans (Proboscis Monkeys) are endemic to Borneo. Lately, the rise of ecotourism has led to a situational problem: many tourists feed wild Bekantans with human food like bread or snacks to take better pictures. This makes the monkeys aggressive and sick, as their stomachs are specialized for digesting certain leaves.

Evaluate the impact of irresponsible ecotourism described in the text. What strict regulations should the local government create to protect the Bekantans while keeping tourism alive?

Jawaban: The irresponsible feeding disrupts the monkeys’ health, alters their natural diet, and makes them overly aggressive. To solve this, the government must create strict regulations such as: prohibiting tourists from feeding wildlife entirely, imposing heavy fines for violators, requiring tourists to be accompanied by certified local guides, and setting a minimum observation distance to prevent direct contact.

Penjelasan: Siswa diekspektasikan untuk dapat mengevaluasi dampak negatif dari aktivitas manusia (pariwisata) dan menciptakan solusi berupa regulasi yang seimbang antara pariwisata dan konservasi satwa liar.

 

28. [Uraian / Esai] (HOTS)

Stimulus: The Maleo bird, found in Sulawesi, does not incubate its eggs using its body heat. Instead, it buries its eggs deep in warm sand or geothermal soil. Unfortunately, because the eggs are quite large and nutritious, humans often dig them up to eat or sell, causing a severe decline in the Maleo population.

Design a community awareness program to stop people from stealing Maleo eggs. What is the core message of your campaign, and how would you involve the local community to protect the eggs instead?

Jawaban: The core message could be ‘Save Maleo, Save Our Heritage’. The program would involve educating locals about the bird’s critically endangered status. More importantly, I would suggest hiring the egg poachers as paid conservation rangers or ecotourism guides. By turning poachers into protectors, they earn an alternative, sustainable income, making the community value the Maleo alive rather than just for its eggs.

Penjelasan: Soal ini meminta siswa untuk mencipta (Creating) sebuah program edukasi dan konservasi. Fokusnya adalah mengubah perilaku masyarakat dengan pendekatan ekonomi dan sosial.

 

29. [Uraian / Esai] (HOTS)

Stimulus: Sumatran elephants often wander into human settlements and agricultural fields because their natural forest habitats are being rapidly converted into palm oil plantations. This leads to human-wildlife conflict, where elephants destroy crops and humans retaliate by poisoning or shooting the elephants.

Analyze the root cause of this human-elephant conflict. Propose a balanced solution that protects both the farmers’ livelihood and the elephants’ lives.

Jawaban: The root cause is habitat loss due to the rapid expansion of agriculture and palm oil plantations into the forest, leaving elephants with no food and nowhere to go. A balanced solution includes creating dedicated wildlife corridors so elephants can migrate safely, and planting specific barrier crops that elephants naturally dislike (like chili, garlic, or citrus) around the edges of the farms to deter them without causing any physical harm.

Penjelasan: Soal meminta analisis penyebab konflik manusia-satwa liar dan merancang solusi yang seimbang (win-win solution), sebuah kemampuan pemecahan masalah yang kompleks.

 

30. [Uraian / Esai] (HOTS)

Stimulus: Tarsiers are tiny, nocturnal primates endemic to Sulawesi. They have massive eyes for seeing in the dark and are very sensitive to loud noises, stress, and bright lights (like camera flashes), which can cause them to become so stressed that they harm themselves.

Imagine you are drafting guidelines for a group of international wildlife photographers coming to photograph the Tarsiers. Write three critical rules they must follow and explain why each rule is necessary.

Jawaban: 1) No camera flashes allowed: Tarsiers are nocturnal, and bright flashes can damage their extremely sensitive eyes and cause panic. 2) Keep absolute silence: They are sensitive to loud noises, which can disorient and severely stress them. 3) Maintain a safe distance and never touch them: Close human proximity causes extreme anxiety, which can unfortunately trigger self-harming behavior in Tarsiers.

Penjelasan: Siswa ditugaskan untuk menciptakan (Creating) sebuah panduan berbasis konteks sifat biologis hewan, menunjukkan pemahaman mendalam tentang materi dan etika konservasi.

Semoga Bermanfaat. (kangjo)
