The journal publishes critical reviews, original research papers, short communications, notes and comments covering all aspects of ethnobiology. Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology readership is as wide and diverse as ethnobiology itself, with readers spanning from both the natural and social sciences. Not surprisingly, a glance at the papers published in the Journal reveals the depth and breadth of topics, extending from studies in archaeology and the origins of agriculture, to folk classification systems, to food composition, plants, birds, mammals, fungi and everything in between. Research areas published in Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology include but are not limited to neo- and paleo-ethnobiology, zooarchaeology, ethnobotany, ethnozoology, ethnopharmacology, ethnoecology, linguistic ethnobiology, human paleoecology, and many other related fields of study within anthropology and biology, such as taxonomy, conservation biology, ethnography, political ecology, and cognitive and cultural anthropology. Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology does not limit itself to a single perspective, approach or discipline, but seeks to represent the full spectrum and wide diversity of the field of ethnobiology, including cognitive, symbolic, linguistic, ecological, and economic aspects of human interactions with our living world. Articles that significantly advance ethnobiological theory and/or methodology are particularly welcome, as well as studies bridging across disciplines and knowledge systems. Journal of Tropical Ethnobiology does not publish uncontextualized data such as species lists; appropriate submissions must elaborate on the ethnobiological context of findings.

Abstract

Olele is a village with quite high tourism potential, one of which is medicinal plants which are quite high and varied. This study aimed to identify species of medicinal plants in the village and identify their potential as ecotourism support. It was conducted using an indepth interview technique with a qualitative type. The data obtained will then be documented and identified using the book and the Plant-Net application. The results showed that 17 species of medicinal plants were identified from the results of interviews, and then validation was carried out on domestic tourists who were in the village to find out the personal interests of each tourist. The development of tourist areas has also been responded positively by the community and local government.

Abstract

The Sumatran tiger is one of the keystone species increasingly under threat. Several traditional communities perceive the tiger has an essential role in a broader aspect of life; the animal constitutes an integral part of their culture. This study discusses the interaction between the traditional Malay community around the Kerumutan Wildlife Reserve (KWR) in Riau, Sumatra, and the Sumatran tigers. We collected data through in-depth interviews with several local traditional leaders recruited by snowball sampling. The local people around the wildlife reserve believed that the tiger is a sacred animal and thus should be protected. The community perceived that the animal has several roles in guarding their village against evils. To respect the presence of the tiger, people around the KWR performed a ritual of Menyemah Kampung once a year. However, many changes have been taking place that change nature and the people, including the Menyemah Kampung ritual. Local people’s perception changes toward the ritual may also affect the conservation of the Sumatran tiger.

Abstract

Pulai (Alstonia scholaris), kayu manis/cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii, Cinnamomum iners), pakanangi/kisereh (Cinnamomum parthenoxylon/Cinnamomum porrectum), kulilawang (Cinnamomum halmaherae), agarwood (Aquilaria sp., Gyrinops versteeghii, and Gyrinopsis cumingiana), and pasak bumi (Eurycoma longifolia) are some medicinal plants species that grow in plantations or natural forests. The exploitation of these species causes their existence to be scarce or almost not known, with the result that is needed the policy to save the existence of medicinal plants species. Industries of herbal medicine which exploit the raw material from nature need to build seedlings and enrichment areas. The collaboration between medicinal industries with local people to build medicinal plant species plantations can be developed. This study informs a field review of some medicinal plant species from several regions during the research activities from 2005 to 2009.

Abstract

Data collection on natural resources, especially wild edible plants (WEPs) in the forest around Kamojang Crater, needs to be done because it is a life support area for the Garut Regency and Bandung Regency. It has abundant biological wealth, community dependence on forest resources is high, and there is still a lack of data collection on the use of WEPs by the community to support sustainable development (SDGs). Environmental management and sustainable use of natural resources are problems that still need to be solved. The aims of this study were to (1) conduct a systematic study of WEPs used by communities in the forest buffer zone of Kamojang Crater, (2) record traditional knowledge related to WEPs, (3) analyze various uses of WEPs, and (4) evaluate species of significant cultural significance to communities in the Kamojang Crater forest buffer zone. The study carried out semi-structured interviews, key informant interviews, and participatory observations in the forest buffer area of Kamojang Crater, Samarang Subdistrict, Garut Regency, West Java, focusing on the nearest village to the Kamojang Crater. A total of 50 informants were involved in the snowball method to obtain information about WEPs, including local names, food categories, parts used, consumption methods, and other local uses. Several quantitative and qualitative methods have been conducted, consisting of RFC and CFSI calculations to identify the most culturally significant WEPs, and ANOVA to evaluate the variables of sex, age, occupation, and education. The study obtained data on 80 species from 37 families of WEPs consumed by the community in the forest buffer area of Kamojang Crater. The families are Asteraceae (19.23%), Euphorbiaceae (6.41%), Solanaceae (6.41%), Malvaceae (5.13%), and Apiaceae (5.13%). WEPs as side dishes with high CFSI values were Limnocharis flava (L) Buchenau, and Pilea melastomoides (Poir.) Bl., Nasturtium officinale W.T. Aiton, Oenanthe javanica (Blume) DC., Monochorea vaginalis (Burm. f.). Analysis of community age affects knowledge about WEPs, while gender, education, and occupation of the informants have not influenced it.

Abstract

Boli fruit (Xylocarpus granatum J.Koenig) is one of the mangrove plants used by the Balikpapan Bay surrounding community as sunscreen. The seed part of the Boli fruit is simply processed to make sunscreen powder. Local communities around mangrove forests, especially women who work in gardens or ponds, use this fruit as a cold powder to withstand the heat of the sun which can discolor the skin. The mangrove area is one of the habitats located in Balikpapan Bay. The study aimed to describe the local people knowledge, composition and structure of mangrove vegetation on Balikpapan Bay, East Kalimantan. Vegetation data collection was carried out using the plotted path method (2 paths and 33 plots). Vegetation analysis parameters include relative density, relative frequency, and relative dominance. The results of the study found that there are eight mangrove species consisting of seven clans and five tribes. Xylocarpus granatum species is present at every stage of growth. Mangrove trees are found in a diameter distribution between 10 and 20 cm. Trees with a height of more than 15 m dominated the area.

Abstract

We used the point-centered quarter method for trees and quadrats for saplings in home gardens of 42 hamlets within 40 districts in the Bogor Regency, West Java, to investigate the floristic composition and structure of home garden tree communities. We found a diverse range of fruit trees. A total of 64 fruit tree species were identified accounting for 93.2% of all tree species. Artocarpus heterophyllus and Nephelium lappaceum were the two species with the highest importance value, frequency, and degree of association. The Artocarpus heterophyllus–Nephelium lappaceum association or in the local names Nangka– Rambutan association is justified based on these species’ characteristics. The distributional patterns of tree species support categorizing them into six groups: very common, common, rather common, rather rare, rare, and very rare. Annona squamosa, Phyllanthus acidus, Syzygium polyanthum, Glochidion borneense, Mangifera foetida, and Diospyros philippensis were the fruit tree species that made up the extremely rare group. Nephelium lappaceum, Artocarpus heterophyllus, and Lansium domesticum, had the highest importance value (40%) at the tree level, whereas Punica granatum, Annona muricata, and Averrhoa bilimbi at the sapling stage. Species diversity indices for trees and saplings in the sampled home gardens fell into the H' = 1 to 3 categories, while similarity indices among the home gardens species composition were quite low (IS 64%). The fruit tree species had a low ability to regenerate.
