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

This study mainly explored plants uses among East Sumba People and how they relate to conservation efforts, especially in several villages, including Lambanapu Village, Kampung Adat Wunga, Prailiu, and Praiyawang. The methods used in this study were combinations of field data collections, interviews, and observations. The findings showed that the traditional uses of plants fall into five use-categories: plants for weaving tenun ikat, building traditional houses, food sources, medicines, and rituals. Local people performed conservation efforts by planting the necessary plants in their garden, protecting local forests, and only using plants/trees which are ready to be harvested. In some occasions, rituals were also performed before harvesting the plants. The traditions showed that Sumba people respect the supernatural beings and the harmony between nature and human.

Abstract

Indonesia has various tribes or ethnicities scattered in various islands. These tribes have a wealth of knowledge, and local wisdom as a hereditary tradition that are useful for the modern society because of their closeness to nature, for example the tradition of managing plants traditionally. Jengkol (Pithecellobium jiringa (Jack) Prain.) is widely known by the Indonesian community, easily found in forests so that a few people cultivate the plant. Cimanggu Village is an area where people still have knowledge from generation to generation in terms of managing jengkol. This study aimed to document the ethnobotany of jengkol as a food plant. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method using interview with 30 respondents obtained by snowball sampling technique. The results showed that only 10% of respondents still remembered the processing of Jengkol. The abundance of Jengkol in Cimanggu Village has decreased due to a low interest in the cultivation of Jengkol. There are three types of jengkol, i.e. Jengkol Ngora, Jengkol Kolot, and Sepi, that are known within the community, each Jengkol has different characteristics, processing methods, and uses.
