Abstract

The Kaili Tado ethnic group of Central Sulawesi maintains a rich ethnobotanical tradition in which plants play essential roles in life cycle ceremonies that mark the stages of human existence from birth and marriage to death. This study aimed to identify and analyze the species, uses, symbolic meanings, and conservation status of plants employed in the traditional rituals of the Kaili Tado community. The research was conducted in Langko Village, Lindu District, Sigi Regency, from July to August 2025, using a qualitative descriptive ethnobotanical approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and field documentation involving twelve key informants, including traditional leaders, ritual practitioners, and elder community members. A total of 11 plant species were recorded, representing diverse functions and cultural symbolism. Plants such as Oryza sativa (rice), Cocos nucifera (coconut), and Areca catechu (areca nut) symbolize prosperity, purity, and strength, respectively, while others like Kalanchoe pinnata and Jatropha curcas serve as protective and purifying agents. Most species are easily available around home gardens, but a few such as Piper betle and Calamus sp. are becoming scarce. The study demonstrates that the Kaili Tado community’s ritual plant use reflects deep ecological awareness and moral philosophy, emphasizing balance between humans and nature. Ethnobotanical documentation of these practices is essential not only for preserving cultural heritage but also for promoting biodiversity conservation and environmental education.

Abstract

Objective: Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by microplastic pollution, which can accumulate in commercially important fish species and potentially affect human health. This study aimed to identify the characteristics and abundance of microplastics in the digestive tracts of mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis) and skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) from Boneoge waters, Donggala Regency, and examine the relationship between digestive tract size and microplastic abundance. Method: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using 30 specimens of each fish species collected from local fishermen. Digestive tract samples were digested using 10% KOH, incubated at 75°C, filtered, and observed under a binocular microscope. Microplastic abundance was expressed as particles per gram of digestive tract weight. Simple linear regression analysis using SPSS 25 was performed to evaluate the relationship between digestive tract size and microplastic abundance. Results: Three microplastic types were identified: film, fragment, and fiber, with film being dominant in both species. Total microplastic abundance reached 3.940 particles/g in mackerel tuna and 3.071 particles/g in skipjack tuna. Regression analysis showed a weak positive relationship between digestive tract size and microplastic abundance (R² = 0.137 and 0.140), suggesting that other environmental and biological factors play a greater role. Novelty: Providing the first baseline data on microplastic contamination in mackerel tuna and skipjack tuna from Boneoge waters, Central Sulawesi, and contributes to SDG 14 (Life Below Water) by strengthening evidence-based efforts to address marine microplastic pollution.

Abstract

Araceae is a group of herbaceous plants that grow on land (terrestrial), in water (aquatic), and by climbing on trees (epiphytic). Araceae plants are widely known by the community as ornamental plants commonly found in home gardens; however, they can also be found growing wild in forests. Tropical regions such as Indonesia provide highly suitable habitats for these plants. Approximately 90% of Araceae genera and 95% of their species occur in tropical areas. This study aimed to describe and determine the species density of plants belonging to the Araceae family in Saluopa Waterfall area, Wera Village, Poso Regency. This research employed a quantitative descriptive design using a survey method, with sampling conducted through the belt transect method. The population in this study consisted of all Araceae species found in the Saluopa Waterfall area, Wera Village. The sample included all Araceae individuals recorded along the observation transects. Documentation and specimen collection were carried out for each Araceae species to enable identification based on morphological characteristics, followed by density analysis. The results revealed 10 species belonging to the Araceae family, distributed across nine genera: Aglaonema, Colocasia, Dieffenbachia, Xanthosoma, Homalomena, Schismatoglottis, Rhaphidophora, Scindapsus, and Syngonium. The density values ranged from 0.02 to 0.24 individuals per meter, comprising ten species from nine different genera. The highest density species was Colocasia esculenta (0.24), followed by Homalomena rubescens (0.17) and Dieffenbachia seguine (0.13) while the lowest one was Schismatoglottis calyptrata (0.02).
