Sustainability of Butterfly Conservation In Bantimurung Tourism Park, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the sustainability factors supporting conservation of butterflies in a well known butterfly tourism park, Bantimurung. A careful observation and interviews were conducted to collect the primary data for this study. Data were then analyzed using analysis of vegetation and interpretation. Secondary data gathered for this study were tabulated and interpreted. Results showed that both biotic and abiotic factors supporting the life cycle of the butterflies are of paramount importance in the sustainable conservation of butterflies in Bantimurung Butterfly Tourism Park. Efforts are required to conserve several plant species for the breeding of butterflies, especially Aurantivolia Linn, Annona muricata Linn, Ixora sp, Hibiscus sp, Rosasinensis Linn and Aristolochia. This study implies that preservation of a conducive butterfly habitat is strongly required to ensure the sustainability of butterfly population in Bantimurung. It is therefore recommended in the future that more work should be conducted to investigate the types of liming, fertilizing and contour planting in breeding the butterflies for their future protection and conservation leading towards the sustainability of Bantimurung as the only unique Butterfly National Park in Indonesia
