Abstract

In rural forest areas, plants and animals provide communities’ daily needs as well as marketable products that generate income for local communities. Healthy forests not only provide important ecological functions but also contribute to an indigenous population’s economy and culture. Papua is an important region in the world to study the social importance of tropical rainforests, as this vast region contains over 250 ethnic groups, most of whom depend on forest ecology for their livelihood. This research was aims to understand the process and utilization technique of Raja’s seeds (Pangium edule) as a traditional food source according to the indigenous knowledge of the Aifat people in Kumurkek, Aifat sub-District, Maybrat Regency. The study uses descriptive methods, field observations, and semi-structured interviews. Results indicate that there are six stages of Raja’s seeds processing, including seed harvesting, poaching, slicing, soaking in a river, and culminating in consumption. Tools and materials used in processing the seeds include machetes, wood, stone, and metal pans.  As of now, there is no conservation scheme to preserve the Raja plant. However, the knowledge of Raja plant production is still bequeathed among relatives according to local tradition. Further research is needed in order to find other benefits of this species, such as use as a natural pesticide and other potential products that can provide additional income for the Aifat sub-District.

Abstract

The ant-plant Sarang Semut is one of the medicinal antimicrobial plants that is very beneficial to human health. As such the plant has widely been exploited in their natural habitat. The silviculture of this plant is not available due to limited knowledge about the existence in nature. Therefore, it is imperative to undertake the ecological study on the growth site of this plant in nature to collect the basic information for the culture and cultivation of this plant. The method used in this research was the descriptive method with the survey technique in Gunung Meja Nature Tourism Park, Manokwari.  The research showed that one species of ant-plant was found namely Myrmecodia cf. schlechteri Valeton. The plant is epifit to selective host plants such as  Garcinia picrorrhiza, Sterculia macrophylla, Intsia bijuga, Pometia coreacea, and Antiaris toxicaria. The ideal growth zone of this plant is in Zone 2 and 3.
