Návrh péče o soukromou rezervaci Green Life v Indonésii
Balcařík, Štěpán
Bachelor thesis describes a protection of tropical rainforests in Indonesia on the case of Czech-Indonesian private reserve Green Life on Sumatra. For a better understanding is first of all explained the state of nature conservation in Indonesia, the next chapter then describes the Gunung Leuser National Park and the imminent threats facing it. The last part of literature retrieval deals with the project Green Life itself, which the reserve is part of. The next chapter assesses the current reserve development, the involvement of volunteers and collecting data from camera traps. In conclusion, there are proposed some development opportunities, which could enrich the Green Life project in the future.

Problematika pěstování palmy olejné na Sumatře
Petrášková, Linda
Petrášková, L. Problems of oil palm growing in Sumatra. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel university in Brno. Faculty of regional development and international studies. Institute of environmental and natural resources. Supervisor: prof. Ing. Ilja Vyskot, CSc. This bachelor thesis is focused on Problems of oil palm growing in Sumatra. The first part of the work characterizes the mention history and the origin of the agriculture commodity and the way of cultivation and utilization. Subsequently, it seeks to bring its growing global importance closer to the main productive areas. The second part outlines business aspects and the development of economic indicators due to the acceleration of oil palm production in Indonesia. The main part of the thesis is devoted to the analysis of the selected environmental, social and economic aspects that are created or deepened by the overexploitation of monoculture. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the highlighted aspects and to propose suitable recommendations for improving the situation.

Taxonomic revision of the genus Gracula in the Island of Sumatra and the southwest located islands
Švejcarová, Tereza ; Kopecký, Oldřich (advisor) ; Petr, Petr (referee)
Hill Mynas Gracula have a wide distribution range covering all of Southeast Asia. They became a popular cage bird due to their ability to mimic human speech. Massive demand had a tragic impact on the wild populations of Hill Mynas throughout their range. Since the first description of the species there have been significant discrepancies in the classification. Continuous pressure on the wild populations caused an urgent need of conservation attention in many places, which was hindered by taxonomical uncertainties. Decades of specialists disagreements caused crossbreeding of mynas from different areas and thus disappearance of their typical characteristics. The only possible way for taxonomic revision has become a field research. This research was focused on the taxonomic revision of the Common Hill Myna Gracula religiosa in Sumatra and its nearby islands, where the highest diversity of the genus taxa occurs. The aim was to evaluate the current situation of the wild populations and to collect the largest possible set of morphometric information. The analyses uncovered that studied taxa are all clearly distinguishable. Taxon miotera from the island of Simeulue, oftenly overlooked in literature, showed the largest differences as well as taxon robusta from Nias. If taxon robusta is recognised a full species, miotera should be upgraded to a species level as well. Mynas from the additional two locations show differences too and are both clearly distinguishable from the others. The differences dont show such significance to treat these taxa as species without further combination of morphometry and genetics. A surviving population of the Nias Hill Myna Gracula (r.) robusta, last recorded by scientists in 1939 was found during this research as well as acoustic evidence of taxon miotera from Simeulue which was also identified as possibly extinct.

Tropical rainforests in modern civilization
Suchanová, Veronika ; Lisa, Aleš (advisor) ; Dvořák, Antonín (referee)
This thesis deals with the selected issues regarding tropical rainforests in modern civilization. It explains what the tropical rainforest is and where it is located. The thesis points at the importance of the tropical rain forestry, and warns of increasing threats primarily due to deforestation. The thesis also shows possible approaches to deal with the issue and presents a practical example of a functional project in real life.
