Abstract

Indonesia is the second richest country in terms of biodiversity, particularly in plant species. Generally, the community utilizes plants for traditional medicinal purposes, which is the essence of the field of Ethnobotany. This research aims to identify plants with the highest Use Value (UV) and Fidelity Level (FL) in the local community for treating Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The study was conducted in the Sanggabuana Conservation Foundation area, Karawang, West Java. The methodology involved field observation, interviews, plant identification, and documentation of medicinal plants and residents during interviews. The research revealed that plants with the highest Use Value (UV) were Solanum torvum (tekokak) and Physalis angulata (ciplukan) at 5.26%. The plant with the highest Fidelity Level (FL) for treating Diabetes mellitus was Moringa oleifera (kelor) with a value of 10.53%. Moringa oleifera can be used as a medicinal plant for Diabetes mellitus due to its phytochemical content, such as flavonoids that function as antidiabetics. The parts of the moringa plant used are the leaves, and the processing method involves boiling.

Abstract

Mount Sanggabuana with an altitude of 1,074 above the sea level has an exciting and high biodiversity. Still, currently, its status is being sought to officially become a National Park and not many research reports have been found that discuss birds in the area. The purpose of this paper is to determine the diversity of bird species in the Sanggabuana Area, Cintalaksana, Tegalwaru, Karawang, West Java. The research was conducted on 15-17 August 2024 using the point count method. Based on the results of observations, 26 bird species from 16 families were recorded and there are five bird species protected according to the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 20 of 2018, one of which is the bido snake eagle (Spilornis cheela) from the Accipitridae. The diversity of bird species in the Sanggabuana area is classified in the medium category, details of the H' value in the primary forest (Jalur Hutan) of 2.54 and in the secondary forest (Jalur Curug) of 2.55. The dominating bird species in the primary forest habitat is Takur tohtor (Psilopogon armillaris) while in the secondary forest is Cucak kutilang (Pycnonotus aurigaster).
