The Royal Golden Cocoon of Java: Cricula trifenestrata
Proportion of the area of the contribution comprising Key Biodiversity Areas: 0%
Indonesia is a country blessed with multifarious natural resources, including the notorious “pest” namely the Cricula Trifenestrata wild silkworms. Although there is no Cricula Trifenestrata wild silkworms in Japan, the advance science and technology to uncover the potential of Cricula Trifenestrata wild silkworms’ golden cocoons utilization as various crafts, textile and health products have been discovered by Japanese scientists since 1988. However, despite the advance science and successful initiative, (for more than 35 years) Cricula Trifenestrata wild silkworms are still labelled as “pests” in Indonesia and the rest of the world. Massive (online and offline) disinformation and misinformation (intentional or/ and unintentional) happening at local, regional, national and international level is hindering the access and participation in scientific knowledge and its applications for sustainable development (especially in developing countries). https://zenodo.org/records/15385396 Daily tracking of Cricula trifenestrata wild silk moths: https://www.facebook.com/criculatrifenestrata Habitat coordinates: -7.9348431914577935, 110.40235126180919 https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6864-3075
