Abstract

Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) have great potential in supporting the economy of forest communities through sustainable utilization based on local wisdom. This study aims to analyze the potential of NTFPs, identify value chains, and formulate development strategies to improve the welfare of forest communities. The study was conducted in three villages: Tuwung Village, Luwuk Kanan Village, and Sei Gohong Village in Central Kalimantan. The research method used a qualitative and quantitative approach through interviews, observations, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and market analysis. The development strategy analysis used SWOT. The results showed that NTFPs: rattan (Calamus spp.), stingless bee honey (Trigona sp.), and medicinal plants: bajakah (Uncaria gambir Roxb.), Dayak onion/lemba onion (Eleutherine bulbosa) are the types of NTFPs most dominantly utilized by the community, both for personal use, sale, or partly for personal use and partly for sale. However, the NTFP value chain is still weak in post-harvest aspects, processing, and market access. The SWOT analysis results show that the NTFP product development strategy falls into Quadrant IV (defensive strategy). This defensive strategy involves rationalizing activities, focusing on one or two potential superior products. Tuwung Village focuses on stingless bee honey, Luwuk Kanan Village on rattan, and Sei Gohong on medicinal plants (bajakah, Dayak onions/lemba onions). Furthermore, strengthening community capacity, improving group institutions, diversifying products, and supporting policies are key to realizing a sustainable NTFP-based economy. This study confirms that value chain development and appropriate strategies for selecting NTFP products are crucial for promoting inclusive and sustainable economic development for communities surrounding forests in Central Kalimantan.

Abstract

Uncaria is a genus of plants that have medicinal properties and chemical content. Uncaria cordata (Lour.) Merr is a herbal plant that is still rarely known for its efficacy in herbal medicinal ingredients. Uncaria cordata (Lour.) Merr it self contains metabolic compounds in the form of flavonoid, phenolic, steroid, saponin, terpenoid and alkonoid. This study aims to test the effectiveness of Uncaria cordata (Lour.) Merr as an antimicrobial on Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas sp. and Edwardsiella ect.) Merr as an antimicrobial on Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas sp. and Edwardsiella ictaluri bacteria and the type of bacteria that are more effective in using Uncaria cordata (Lour.) Merr in inhibiting the proliferation of disease-causing bacteria in cultured fish. The results showed that Uncaria cordata (Lour.) Merr, was able to inhibit the proliferation of bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas sp. and Edwardsiella ictaluri with an average diameter of the inhibition zone of Aeromonas hydrophila bacteria at a concentration of 100% forming an inhibition zone of 21.7 mm with a very strong inhibition zone category, in the bacteria Pseudomonas sp. at 100% concentration formed an inhibition zone of 21 mm with a very strong inhibition zone category, and in Edwardsiella ictaluri bacteria at 100% concentration formed an inhibition zone of 21.3 mm with a very strong inhibition zone category. The 100% concentration of Uncaria cordata (Lour.) Merr is the most effective concentration to inhibit bacterial proliferation.

Abstract

Medicinal plants are one of the essential ecosystem services provided by Indonesia's tropical forests. However, threats such as deforestation, forest degradation, climate change, and overharvesting jeopardize the existence of medicinal plants. This study aims to examine the diversity of medicinal plant species in three village forests in Central Kalimantan. The identification of medicinal plant species, including their local names, growth forms, and the number of individuals, was conducted using observation plots. Analysis was performed by calculating the Species Diversity Index, Species Richness Index, and Species Evenness Index. This research identified 69 species and 650 medicinal plant individuals. The study found that the diversity, species richness, and evenness of medicinal plant types varied across locations. Two villages exhibited medium diversity and richness index values (H’= 2.47 – 2.87; R= 3.82 – 4.48), while only one village was classified as having high values (H’=3.07; R=6.81). The species evenness index in all three locations showed a high category (E=6.69 – 11.54). The medicinal plants utilized by the community were predominantly climbers, herbs, and trees. High diversity of medicinal plant species was found in forest areas protected by customary regulations. This research conclude that di diversity of medicinal plant categorized as medium-high, and there are sign of declining biodiversity. Therefore, conservation program is urgently needed and encourage relevant stakeholders to participate.
