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

The exponential growth of the human population in the last few decades has had an impact on the exponential increase of agricultural land. One of the consequences arising from the forest land conversions is the increasing number of conflicts between wildlife and humans. Although human-wildlife conflicts are also common in Indonesia, efforts to inventory and monitor the types of conflicts and their distribution are still limited. Mammals and birds are the only two groups of wildlife that are widely studied. This study tries to collect data on the incidences of human-water monitor interactions that are often reported by online news. The collection of news from online media (web scraping) is done automatically using the python package GoogleNews. The collected news articles were stored in a spreadsheet format and processed to obtain information on the location and type of conflict. The scraping process collected 1,838 news articles related to water monitors that represented 189 cases of human-water monitor conflicts. However, there were only 172 conflict cases that had detailed information of the location. The spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed a significant clustering pattern in the Jakarta Metropolitan area. The most common incident was water monitors coming into a house or neighborhood. The reports also uncovered that at least eight people lost their lives and seven water monitors were killed or sold. In addition, there were about 81 captured water monitors with uncertain or untraceable status. Commercially harvesting water monitors, particularly in highly urbanized cities, can be a reasonable solution for this problem.

Abstract

Lichen is a symbiosis between fungi and algae. Lichen family Lobariaceae is a group of foliose that is very sensitive to air pollution. This study used lichen explorations in Gunung-Gede Pangrango National Park (TNGGP) area which is good for biodiversity reservoir as a method. During exploration, on ascending tracks of Curug Cibeureum, Lobaria pulmonaria was found. The main characteristic of L. pulmonaria is they have isidia, lobulus, tomentum, cephalodium, and rhizine squares types, are reactive to the K + reaction test, have wavy lobus, and look like resemble lungs and photobiont as green algae. It also can be found in tree trunk substrate at an elevation above 1 to 2 Meters. The tree barks' characteristic which is being overgrown by L. pulmonaria woody, rough surface, moist, wet, and has gemma (bud). According to the lobus abundance indicator and wide lobus, it can be concluded that air quality in TNGGP ascending tracks of Curug Cibeureum has an excellent category.

Abstract

One of the raptors commonly found in Indonesian forests is Crested Serpent-eagle (Spilornis cheela). However, its population in its natural habitat is hampered due to habitat loss, illegal trade, and hunted for pets. Pusat Suaka Satwa Elang Jawa (PSSEJ) is a rehabilitation center specialized for mountain eagles, focused on rehabilitation and releasing the eagles to their original habitat. Eagles taken care of in PSSEJ were handed over from the public, Nature Conservation Agency (BKSDA), or other conservation institutions. Other than as a rehabilitation center, PSSEJ became an education and conservation center for raptors as a continuous effort to manage natural resources and biodiversity. Crested Serpent-eagle that are not eligible to be released based on observation in the rehabilitation stage would be kept in a display cage. The display cage is purposed as a conservation education facility for PSSEJ visitors. This study aimed to find daily activity frequency of Crested Serpent-eagle in PSSEJ display cage as information that supports conservation education. The observation was conducted for five days from 08.00 am - 04.00 pm using ad libitum sampling and focal animal sampling methods. Based on the results, it could be concluded that the biggest percentage of Crested Serpent-eagle’s daily activity in the display cage is perching at 71.6%. This percentage is similar to the percentage of eagle perching activity in nature. Although the percentage of its activity is similar, the Crested Serpent-eagle in this study has a very small possibility of being released into the wild because, after more than one year of rehabilitation, its dependency on humans has not disappeared.

Abstract

Kaboa (Aegiceras corniculatum) is a type of mangrove known as a typical plant in the Sancang Beach area because of its legends and myths. Currently, the number of Kaboa plants on Sancang Beach is decreasing. One of the causes can occur due to human interference, disturbances to the habitat or exploitation of these plants. The reduction of such species can be avoided by knowing the extent of people's knowledge of the Kaboa plant (Aegiceras corniculatum) and the ethnoconservation attitudes carried out. This study used quantitative methods with a correlational approach. It was conducted in Sancang Village, Sagara Village, Karyasari Village, and Karyamukti Village, Garut Regency with a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire given to 100 respondents from the four villages. The results showed that local people's knowledge of Kaboa plants was in the good category with an average value of 77.48/100 while the ethnoconservation attitude of the community towards Kaboa plants was in the partial category with an average value of 82.13. The value of the relationship between local community knowledge and ethnoconservation attitudes towards the Kaboa plant is 0.620, which indicates that there is a strong and unidirectional significant relationship between indigenous people's knowledge about the Kaboa plant (Aegiceras corniculatum) and the ethnoconservation attitude carried out. The level of indigenous knowledge that is considered good and the indigenous conservation attitude of the people who are in the category of favoring the Kaboa plant must be maintained and even increased so as to provide opportunities to maintain and preserve the Kaboa plant in its habitat

Abstract

Rural people of West Java have rich local knowledge on use of plant species to treat various ailments. The traditional medicinal plants have been predominantly cultivated in home-garden agroforestry systems. Nowadays, however, the local knowledge of Sundanese rural people on both ailments and medicinal plants have eroded. In addition, various plants in the homegarden systems have decreased due to conversion of the traditional homegardens to monoculture commercial crops. Rural people in Cibunar, Sumedang, West Java have still strongly maintained Sundanese cultures, including using local knowledge on various ailments and medicinal plants to treat various ailments. This study aimed to elucidate (1) the local knowledge of rural people of Cibunar, Sumedang on illnesses; and (2) role of the homegardens as source of medicinal plants. Method used in this study was mixed-method, qualitative and quantitative with ethnomedicine and ethnobotanical approach. The result of study showed that rural Sundanese community has vernacular names of illnesses, including gering or sakit in Indonesian. Based on local rural people perception, various illnesses can be caused by many factors, poor sleep, bad eating, weather, food poisoning, work fatigue and accidents, including injuries. Treatment of illness according to the local people is usually undertaken by self-treatment, buy medicine from small shops (warung), go to a community health center (Puskesmas), and go to healer (dukun). The traditional agroforestry of homegarden systems have played an important role as sources of medicinal plants, and providing various foods, and resistant with environmental changes, including pests and climate changes.

Abstract

Ngunggahne Beras is a respect to Dewi Sri as the keeper and fortune giver for farmers. The people of Jugo Village preserve the tradition well. Uborampen prepared by the villagers in the Ngunggahne Beras tradition is different from other villages. The uborampen consists of various plants that are sublime symbols and offering to God. This study is conducted using an ethnographic approach through an in-depth interview with performers of tradition and traditional figures. The interview results show that all plants used in the tradition are obtained from Jugo Village. The plants mostly planted are rose (74%), jasmine (62%), and rice (61%). Plants obtained from other areas include pandan mendong (99%), pinang (betel palm) (96%), and coconut (96%). Therefore, the Ngunggahne Beras tradition is the application of ethnoconservation conducted by the Jugo villagers. Through tradition, the villagers have conserved rose flower (Rosa sp), jasmine (Jasminum sp), white champaca (Michelia alba), cananga (Cananga sp), latundan banana (Musa acuminata), coconut (Cocos nucifera), betel leaf (Piper betle L), dadap serep (Erythrina subumbrans), betel nut (Areca catechu), kebak (Macaranga sp) leaves, pandan mendong (Fimbristylis umbellaris), and rice (Oryza sativa).
