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 book edited by Prof. M.G. Paoletti comprised of 29 articles on minilivestock. It is indeed a quite interesting book opening our mind that different people are exploiting different resources beyond our imaginations The articles describe from all sort of consumed small invertebrates such as termite, honey pot ant, various forms of larvae such as of caddis fly, larvae of Dobson fly, instars caterpillar larvae, and also other insects such as locust, giant water bugs, crickets, 'gastropods, etc., include a number of small vertebrates such as frogs, birds, turtles, reptiles, rats, porcupines and others . This book is also well illustrated with interesting pictures of the subjects. The book begins with an introductory article by M.G. Paoletti and A.L Dreon. It describes a large number of minilivestock which becomes the potential protein resource in some areas. They are largely consumed by people around the world and considered as alternative food resources. Although the kind of minilivestock described in this book is only a part of so many other consumable creature found in this planet, in fact it offers description on the varieties of different small animals either invertebrates or vertebrates which are quite familiar to different ethnic groups dispersed in this world. It is reasonable therefore that both expressed their concern on the possible extinction of species and the loss of traditional knowledge which are most of them not well recorded yet. In one hand there are so many tribal societies which are fast adopting new way of life and becoming alienated to their inherited customs and practices. They do not consume any more what they have traditionally consumes. In the other hand the massive mobilization of capital has destroyed the natural environment leading to the lost of the habitat of so many organisms formerly available as protein resources for the indigenous or tribal people. This book is probably one of the rarest of the kind. The Paoletti and Dreon have rightly summarized their concerns on the inadequate understanding of local knowledge, on the possible extinction of species, and the arguments of why minilivestock is important. The practice of consuming small creature probably has already taken place since the beginning of human long history. A long list of animals can probably still be deduced not only what the authors of the book have presented, but we also could enrich (our knowledge) from the fact that some of the Chinese restaurants still serve various plates of different animals as delicacy: meat of reptiles, monkeys, various sea creatures and even

Abstract

This article explained the Javanese cockfighting and their significance and value. Generally, the Javanese classify the chickens according to their feature and function, each feature has a symbolical significance according to its function. In this article also discussed about the fowl, status attributes and belief, selection, breeding and preparation of fighting cocks, and cockfighting, matches, role, and regulation and cultural significance of the practice and significance of cockfighting to germ-plasm conservation. The practice of the cockfighting of the society has a great significance to the effort of maintaining the genetic variability of indigenous fowls. It motivates people with limited settlement space to actively participate in breeding different varieties of fowl and it gives opportunity to the common with a limited capital to earn extra money from breeding only a limited number of cocks. After all, the cockfighting and all its other correlating activities are forming a unity which is consciously developed by the Javanese and merit to be regarded as an art and becoming a part of the sophistication of the fowl domestication.

Abstract

This article deals with the observations made in a field research in a Barak Toba, North Tapanuli, North Sumatra, concerning the traditional agricultural rem and the ethnobotany of benzoin. The society of North Tapanuli classify three kinds of benzoin tree according to the quality of the resin, i.e., hamijon toba, ham.rjon durame and lranlijon bole. Ilarnijon toba is identified as Sri-ras paralloloncurem Perk., which is cultivated at locations above 1000 in contour and produce the best quality resin. HArnijon durarne which is cultivated at lower elevation site 500-1000 try., produces a lower quality material. It can be identified as StsTax benzoin Dryand. And for the harnijon bubo has not been exactly identified, but concerning the morphology and habitat of the tree and the characters of its resin seem to suggest that it may be a kind of natural hybrid of the two species referred to above., The resin can be obtained from the trees of 6-70 years of age. The quality of the resin is primarily determined by the species of benzoin tree. The older the trees. however, the lesser the amount of high grade resins. The commercial blend-benzoms are manufactured by blending different quality resins in various proportions. Even the daminar, a non benzoin material, is mixed to fairly high percentages.

Abstract

As so far, modern medical system has rapidly progress; however traditional medical system is still prevailing for the most Indonesian people. Bogani ethnic in Residency of Bolaang Mongondow still use traditional medical system. As evidence, traditional medicine ingredients are still used in their daily living. In the case, traditional medicine was used to treat many diseases, from minor diseases (headache, cough, and influenza, to the acute ones such as lung inflamed (113C), liver and tetanus. The research objectives are : (1) to inventory and describe the medicine plant species; (2) to study plant usage as traditional medicine ingredients for many diseases ; (3) as conservation effort of traditional medicine knowledge because most of them not inherited and have limited data, and (4) to collect scientific information regarding the peculiar property of medicine herb where the research information is potential for pharmacology research in order to discover a new medicine ingredient. A rapprochement method for the research is ethno-directed sampling. Following Friedberg (1993) in Purwanto (2002), eihno-directed sampling methods is a data collection of medicine herb material that based on the local knowledge (ethnic) about medicine herbs, treatment technique, ingredients technique and other aspects that related to public health and conducted with ethnoscience approach. Ethnoscience is an approach that enable us to achieve deep understanding and reveal community knowledge system about medicine herb, treatment technique, ingredient technique and other aspect that related to public health. Qualitative and quantitative approach was used as data collection technique. The result showed that there were 56 species of herbs used as traditional medicine material for Bogani ethnics in Bolaang Mongondow; North Sulawesi. The herbs were generally collected from forest area, garden near with settlement area and indeed from cultivation product at yard. There were 34 families of medicine herbs and most of them including family of Euphorbiaceae, Labiatae, Verbenaceae, Araceae, and Asteraceae. Chemical analysis results showed that 8.9 % of medicine herbs contained terpenoid, 42.8 % of medicine herbs contained steroid, 53.5 % contained tannin, 50 % contained flavonoid, 75 % contained alkaloid, and 30 % contained saponin. The analysis indicated that most of herbs positively contained alkaloid as active medicine compound. However the analysis was only as pretest in determining active compound in a medicine herb. There are some medicine herbs classified as endemic should be given priority to be cultivated immediately because their existence are more and more scarce such as Areca vestrana, Musa sp,and Ficus nunahassae. The herbs are almost extinct and need other proper alternative to conserve them.
