Abstract

Coastal ecosystem is one the most significant ecosystem on earth supporting numerous natural processes and human life. The two significant ecosystems which play that role are mangroves and coral reefs ecosystems. As earth is cover by water area where coral reefs occur and lands in between where mangroves occur possess a pivotal combination of supportive ecosystem functions including ecological and socio-economic values.However, apart from its’ significances, they are being threatened by antropogenic activities and this is being worsened by cimate changes. Some emerging challanges have to be faced and tackled in order to create a sustainable coastal management and conservation. This has to involve many stakeholders, governments, local people, or non-governmental organizations to work together within beneficial collaborative works. Certain sustainable steps can be promotedwithin the context of management and conservation of coastal ecosystem for mangroves and reefs: 1) decide reefs are wanted and recognize their value; 2) adopt the precautionary principle in making management decisions; 3) reduce reef overexploitation; 4) use science for managing more effectively; 5) do new science to advance management; and 6) recognize and take advantages of synergy among impacts and among management actions.If we do not do these immediate actions, the extinction of mangroves and reefs are likely to happen, then resulting in worse impacts for people.

Abstract

Keberadaan pepohonan dengan beragam model arsitektur di area-area ruang terbuka hijau (green open space) di daerah urban perkotaan bertujuan bukan hanya untuk menambah nilai aestetik dari suatu Kota, tetapi juga memberikan manfaat jasa ekosistem (ecosystem services) yang signifikan, seperti penyerapan polutan di udara dan konservasi biodiversitas. Studi desktriptif-eksploratif ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi model arsitektur pohon di area-area ruang terbuka hijau yang dipilih secara purposive sampling yang berada di Kota Kupang. Data hasil observasi dianalisa secara deskriptif kualitatif dengan berpedoman pada referensi arsitektur pohon tropis karya Francis dan Oldman An Essay on The Architecture and Dynamics of Growth of Tropical Trees. Model arsitektur pohon yang terobservasi pada area-area ruang terbuka hijau Kota Kupang terdiri dari 26 Species yang tergolong dalam 15 Famili. Dari ke 26 species pohon tersebut, terdapat 8 model arsitektur pohon, yaitu model Attim, Aubreville, Champagnat, Corner, Rauh, Raux, Scarrone, dan Troll. Keberadaan pepohonan tersebut perlu dikonservasi bahkan ditingkatkan dari segi luas tutupan kanopi serta diversitas spesies pohonnya sehingga nilai aestetiknya tetap terjaga dan bahkan semakin baik serta mampu menjaga jasa ekosistem (ecosystem services) yang diberikan, baik manfaat kepada masyarakat publik sebagai penyerap polusi karbon monoksida dan nitrogen oksida, maupun untuk biodiversitas yang ada di dalam ekosistem tersebut sebagai fungsi konservasi.

Abstract

Despite being considered one of the most important ecosystems on earth, mangrove forests have been threatened by humans, which can lead to global mangrove loss. Therefore, the restoration of mangroves on both a global and a certain spatial scale is required. One of the mangroves that benefit local communities ecologically is occurring along the Oseapa coastline in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara Province. In order to successfully restore degraded mangroves, a comprehensive assessment of their healthiness level is necessary. Hence, the MonMang Android-based application developed by BRIN can be used to collect the data within observation transects and plots and then analyze the healthiness level. The Oesapa mangrove forest is a habtat for 8 mangrove species belonging to 5 families. They are Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina, Ceriops tagal, Lumnitzera racemosa, Sonneratia alba, Rhizopora mucronata, Rhizopora apiculata, and Xylocarpus sp. The MonMang application reveals that the overall mangrove healthiness is at Moderate level. In addition, we found that Site 2 has the lowest Mangrove Health Index (MHI) value, with an average of 35.00-65.00. This indicates that the reforestation is strongly suggested in this area. It can be prioritized for restoration efforts to improve healthiness and mangrove cover. The spatial re-plantation also needs to be conducted in other locations within Oesapa mangrove forest which possess Moderate level of mangrove healthiness. Moreover, stump occurrence and garbage coverage vary across the observation sites. Site 2 has the highest proportion of stump occurrence, possibly due to past mangrove dieback. Garbage coverage varies across the sites, with plots closest to seaward having the lowest coverage and those close to settlements having the highest. These findings highlight the need for further restoration efforts to maintain the sustainability of mangrove forest along the Oesapa coastline.

Abstract

Indonesia, a tropical forest country with enormous biodiversity, has a significant potential for herbal plants, which can be used as medicines and natural remedies. These plants are abundant in densely forested areas and can also be found in traditional markets, contributing to economic growth and preserving traditional culture. Traditional markets offer a variety of herbal plants, including ginger, turmeric, galangal, lime, and pepper, which have been used for centuries in Indonesian cuisine. Local communities can easily access these affordable medicinal plants, especially those with limited access to modern health services. However, limited studies have explored the variety and potential economic market values of these plants, particularly in Kupang East Nusa Tenggara. Therefore, we conducted an etnopharmacological study on the potential herbal plants in the traditional markets of Kupang. 25 herbal plant species from 14 families in four traditional markets in Kupang revealed their potential for health and economic benefits. These plants contain various pharmacological components, including anti-oxydant, anti-bacteria, anti-inflammation, and anti-viral properties. Along with health benefits, the circulation of these plants in the traditional markets in Kupang can not only create economic benefits but also can also promote the preservation of indigenous cultural heritage and the sustainability of traditional practices as well as biodiversity conservation.

Abstract

Open green spaces are crucial for urban landscapes, providing huge benefits such as biodiversity conservation and promoting human health. They can be found in various forms like parks, gardens, and natural reserves. In Indonesia, open green spaces are a trend and prioritized by local authorities because the increasing number of buildings, roads, and vehicles in urban areas that potentially decrease air quality due to contamination of dust, CO2, and other pollutants. A study on the vegetation composition in Kupang open green spaces is needed to understand its potential benefits and serve as a baseline for developing extensive open green spaces with specific vegetation composition. The results reveal that from the 26 plant species that planted to green the areas, over 69% vegetation is suitable to be planted while 31% vegetation is moderately suitable. The majority of these plants are from the Fabaceae, with 34% of the vegetation in the green areas, followed by Anacardiaceae at 31%. The remaining species are moderately suitable, with Verbenaceae having 7% and the rest at 4% each. The vegetation in these areas plays various roles, such as filtering solid particles, absorbing cement dust, suppressing noise, reducing acid rain impacts, increasing water infiltration, improving aesthetics, and conserving groundwater. These roles are crucial for Kupang's urban environment, which faces potential environmental issues such as air pollution, solid particle pollution, drought, and noise pollution. The results indicate that the vegetation used to green the areas can create significant roles for the urban environment and the people.
