Abstract

Ethnobotany is the study of the relationship between plants and humans, including the use of plants by local communities. Traditional medicinal plants are plants that are often used by local communities for their health benefits. This study aims to describe the types of medicinal plants used and how they are processed using traditional methods in the village of Passi, West Passi subdistrict, Bolaang Mongondow district. This research is descriptive qualitative with an interview method and descriptive analysis technique. The results of this study show that there are 37 types of medicinal plants used with a total of 23 families found. The methods of processing traditional medicinal plants are: boiling, squeezing, soaking, pounding, and not processing. The most commonly used processing method is boiling, with 24 types of medicinal plants using this method. The parts of the plants that are most commonly used are: stems, fruits, flowers, leaves, roots, gel, sap, rhizomes, and tubers. The most commonly used parts are leaves, rhizomes, and fruits.

Abstract

Waterbird diversity in Tondano Lake reflects ecological degradation caused by water-hyacinth invasion and sedimentation. This study analyzed the diversity and abundance of waterbirds in Tondano Lake, Indonesia, across wet (February-May) and dry (June-October) seasons in 2025 to assess their role as bioindicators of ecosystem health. Multi-season observations were carried out monthly along a 6.5 km transect at ten strategic points. Eight waterbird species from three families were recorded, with Egretta garzetta being the most abundant (29.1%) and Alcedo atthis the least (4.8%). The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H' = 1.92) indicates a moderate level of species diversity, which reflects a pattern of ecological simplification when compared to pristine tropical lakes such as Lake Sentarum (H' = 2.5). Waterbird abundance showed significant negative correlations with water hyacinth density (r = -0.68, p = 0.032) and water depth (r = -0.72, p = 0.019), revealing that invasive vegetation and shoaling are primary drivers of habitat loss. These findings demonstrate that waterbirds function as sensitive bioindicators of ecological stress, highlighting the urgent need for integrated watershed management to prevent further community collapse.
