    Application of Endocrine Concept in Conservation

    This document discusses applying endocrine concepts to conservation of Sumatran tigers. It first provides background that Sumatran tiger numbers have declined to around 350 currently due to habitat loss and hunting. It then explains the reproductive system is regulated by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and gonads producing hormones like GnRH, FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Finally, it proposes inducing GnRH hormone in female tigers after delivery to accelerate their re-entry into estrus cycles and shorten birth spacing, to aid conservation efforts.

    About the Sumatran Tiger

    Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a subspecies that


    remains in Indonesia. Two other subspecies that have been there are
    the Java tiger and the Bali tiger have been declared extinct before.
    According to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, currently the
    number of Sumatran tigers continues to decline due to habitat loss and
    hunting on a large scale. When compared to the 1970's year about 1,000
    individuals, now, it is estimated that only about 350 individuals only.
    Sumatran tiger can breed anytime. The pregnancy
    period is about 103 days. Usually the female tiger gives birth
    to 2 or 3 tiger at once, and at most 6 baby. Sumatran tiger
    can live for 15 years in the wild, and 20 years in conservation.
    Endocrine concept applications can be tried to apply to
    Sumatran tiger conservation. In general, the reproductive
    hormone is produced by three main parts there are
    Hypothalamus, Pituitary, and Gonadotropin. These three parts
    play an important role in synthesizing or secreting
    reproductive hormones.

    Tropical tigers will reproduce throughout the year.
    Generally, females enter the lust cycle about 30-40 days, with
    long lust between 4-8 days. In the lust age the females can
    copulate up to 40 times. If GnRH hormone induced in the tiger
    in the breeding area after delivery, it is expected to
    accelerate the tiger to re-enter the cycle of lust for a faster
    span or spacing of the birth time that will occur.
