Abstract

Exploration studies of ferns in Papua Indonesia are still limited, while habitat pressure is increasing due to massive development. The purpose of this study was to quickly explore potential habitats of ferns in several areas in Manokwari Regency, West Papua Province. Direct observation methods and fern collections were carried out without observation plots. The ferns collected were unique and rare ferns. Samples from the collection were then carefully observed and made into sketches to facilitate the description process. Taking research location points and measuring environmental parameters were also carried out in areas where ferns were found. The results of the study showed that there was a diversity of habitat types, environmental conditions and how ferns grew. 10 types of ferns were found from four observation locations. The ten ferns were Psilotum nudum, Psilotum complanatum, Microsorum diversifolium, Nephrolepis biserrata, Blechnum orientale, Lycopodium cernuum, Lycopodium phlegmaria, Selaginella wildenowii, Stenochlaena palustris, and Lygodium microphyllum. Rare species tend to be less abundant, while cosmopolitan and potentially invasive species are very abundant. Literature studies show that more than 80% of the fern species that have been successfully inventoried have the potential to be medicinal plants. Based on the results of this initial study, quantitative ecological studies and bioprospection of ferns in Manokwari, West Papua still need to be carried out as an effort to conserve ferns Keywords: habitat exploration; Psilotum; Lycopodium; fern bioprospecting

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the use of plants as traditional medicine by indigenous Papuans in the Arfak Mountains. The local population residing in the villages of the Arfak Mountains primarily consists of the Arfak tribes, including the Hatam, Sough, and Meyah. These communities have traditionally relied on local plants to address various health issues. The research employed a descriptive method, incorporating interviews and direct field surveys. Respondents were selected based on their extensive knowledge of medicinal plant use. The results revealed that 20 plant species are utilized by the local population to treat a range of health conditions. These include coughs, colds, fevers, flatulence, itching, boils, malaria, external wounds, hypertension, body aches, internal pain, lumps, fertility issues, facilitation of childbirth, and ailments attributed to witchcraft. Some plants are used individually, while others are combined with different plants. Processing methods include mashing, boiling, or squeezing to extract the liquid. Utilization methods involve drinking, chewing and swallowing the juice, or applying it to affected areas. The plant parts used include leaves, stems, tubers, and flowers.

Abstract

Papua has a high level of species diversity and endemism. This community service activity (PKM) is motivated by the decreasing of Papua's biodiversity due to anthropogenic activities and global warming, so it is necessary to make efforts to increase public awareness, especially among the children about the concept of protection, management, and use wisely and sustainably for Papua's diversity. Therefore, we carried out socialization about the Papuan animals and their conservation status to students at SMA Negeri 1 and SMA YPPK St. Arnoldus Jansen in Bintuni Bay District, West Papua Province on 10-11 December 2021. Socialization activities involve lectures, questions, and answers, filling out questionnaires, and giving rewards. The results showed that 61.54% of participants did not know the conservation status of animals in Papua based on Indonesian and international regulations. In addition, as many as 87.18% of participants stated that some animals in Papua were sold in the market and participants also consumed some of these animals. However, the participants' desire to protect Papua's animals is quite high (94.87%).
