INTRODUCTION
Forest utilization programs might effects on biological diversity, in this case focus on
butterfly, second largest order (Lepidoptera) in the class insecta.
Roles :
Pollinator
Part of the food web
Natural pest control
Bioindicator

Negatively influence by :
Land clearing
Land-use changes
Forest convertion

Study site was located at PT. Wana Hijau Pesaguan (WHP) Ketapang district,
Kalimantan Barat. The aim of this study was to examine butterfly diversity in the
protection area.
METHOD
Line transect in three locations
at protection area :
The
Wildlife Conservation
Area (KPSL)
Germplasm
Conservation
Area (KPPN)
Buffer Zone (BZ)

Identified up to the
species level base on
Corbet and Pendlebury
(1992), Peggie and Amir
(2006), Peggie et al.
(1995), and Yong (1993).

Data analysis was performed by calculating the diversity index of Shannon-Wiener,

richness index of Margalef and eveness index of Pielou (Magurran 1988).

Family found

RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Nymphalidae, the most abundant family that contribute highest number of

species in superfamily of Papilionoidea (Borror dan White 1970).

Highest number of species and indvidu from Nymphalidae influence by the
presence of plants as food resources, and shelter.
Butterfly from Nymphalidae family most easily adaptable to environmental
changes rather than other family.

CONCLUSION
Family Nymphalidae were found as dominant family in protection area. Highest
number of butterfly species were found in KPSL, while highest number of individu
are found in KPPN.
