Abstract

There are still many plant species that the public currently needs to be made aware. It is because the uses of plants still need to be well explored, which has left them with little practical usefulness. The potential of these plants can be utilized as a tool in educational media and as items with creative and unique value in the commercial sector. Carnivorous plants are among them. In addition to having unique shapes, art enthusiasts can use this plant to turn their interests and skills into terrarium products. TERRAVOR is an innovative terrarium product with carnivorous plants as the main ingredient. This product specializes in carnivorous plants found in the Sumatra region to educate the public regarding the sustainable use of these plants and their status in nature so that the use value of these plants can be maintained for an extended period. This workshop aims to educate the public, especially a society of nature-themed art lovers, about the sustainable use of carnivorous plants. This one-day workshop involved a society interested in terrarium techniques and the uniqueness of carnivorous plants. In this workshop, participants consisting of 13 people who have natural-themed artistic talent were introduced to the ins and outs of carnivorous plants, their conservation status, how to cultivate them in terrarium conditions, and their care. The results of this workshop showed that the number of participants' understanding of the importance of carnivorous plants increased. In addition, participants know more about how to use it sustainably without destroying its natural populations.

Abstract

The practice of cultivating Galo-galo bees has been steadily developing each year in West Sumatra. All parts of the Galo-galo bee, from honey to propolis, can be effectively utilized to produce commercial products, thereby enhancing the community's economy. Community service activities at Sungkai Green Park Ecotourism (ESGP) in Lambung Bukit Village, Padang, assist the community in cultivating Galo-galo bees. These activities involved providing colonies, conducting socialization sessions, offering mentoring and discussions, and collecting data on local plants and insects. Additionally, knowledge regarding the use and processing of honey and propolis was shared. These community service activities, conducted from September to December 2023, have had a positive impact, particularly on the community around the ESGP area. This aligns with the goal of the initiative, which is to provide education and hands-on practice in Galo-galo bee cultivation.
