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 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.

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
