On Sunday, November 12th, 2023, the Herpetology Study Group (KSH) conducted the KSH Srawung #2, a continuation of the previous KSH Srawung held with KSAT in July. In this event, KSH collaborated with the Biology Nature Enthusiasts of Sunan Kalijaga (BIOLASKA) from UIN Sunan Kalijaga. Similar to the first KSH Srawung, this event aimed to strengthen bonds and facilitate knowledge exchange between the two organizations. The participation rate for this event was relatively high, with 16 representatives from KSH and 8 representatives from BIOLASKA.
The KSH Srawung #2 took place in room 2 of the Sinarmas Building at the Faculty of Biology, UGM, starting from 08:30 AM until 01:00 PM local time. The event was divided into two sessions, the first session covered the identification and sampling techniques of herpetofauna, presented by Muhammad Afnisa’a Rozaqi and Anthera Al Firdaus Prissandi representatives from the KSH Senior Council. Before moving on to the second session, the event continued with a “Guess the Picture” game organized by the committee. The second session consisted of insights shared by BIOLASKA representatives, Dwi Fatmawati and Isnaini Fitriana, who shared knowledge on expedition preparation and techniques.
The KSH Srawung #2 ran smoothly from start to finish. All participants were visibly enthusiastic and actively engaged, posing questions during each knowledge-sharing session. The event concluded with a certificate presentation for each speaker and a group photo session. The hope is for even more spectacular collaborations between KSH, BIOLASKA, and other organizations involved in Herpetology in the future.
