Abstract

Nelambo Suon (Rubiaceae) is one of the traditional antimalarial medicinal plants used by people in Walma and Heriapini Districts, Yahukimo. This plant lives on cliffs and grows wild in home yards to tropical rainforests. The purpose of this activity is to provide education to the community about how to use the Nelambo Suon plant as a prevention of malaria. The activity was carried out in Perumnas 4 Waena, Jayapura City to people from Walma and Heriapini districts who were studying further. The method of this activity is Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and training in making medicinal herbs to prevent and treat malaria. Activities were carried out in August-October 2022, which were carried out well and smoothly. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in understanding in the utilization of Nelambo Suon plants up to an average of 78.57% (74.44% to 94.74%). This increase is expected to be able to maintain the understanding and motivation of the community to continue to pay attention and utilize the Nelambo Suon plant as a traditional medicine to prevent and cure malaria.

Abstract

The use of plants for human needs is very high, especially among communities in suburban and rural areas. Communities are highly dependent on forests as their main source of sustenance. The purpose of this study was to determine the use of Nelambo Suon (Bikkia sp.) plant stems among the Yali tribe in Yahukimo Regency, Papua. The method used was a survey, which was conducted through field observations and interviews using questionnaires. This study was conducted in four villages, namely Sabelebi, Muhumu, Kinkun, and Ohena, in the Heriapini District of Yahukimo Regency, Papua Mountains. This study involved 43 respondents consisting of primary informants, key informants, and supplementary informants. The results of the study show that the Bikkia plant is widely used by the Yali tribe in the Papua Mountains. The bark can be used as a remedy for malaria, while the trunk is used to make sehen arrows, suap arrows, and wangkun sticks (for harvesting crops). As many as 88.37% of the community acknowledged that the trunk of this tree is very strong and can be used for various purposes. However, conservation efforts for this plant have not yet been undertaken by the community. Considering that Bikkia sp., found in Yahukimo, is one of several species with limited distribution in the world, conservation efforts are needed.
