Abstract

Educating in the Anthropocene is challenging! We experience human systems entangling with Earth systems regularly and often negatively and with such force and impact. How are we preparing our future citizens to be able to make responsible decisions when the future is uncertain and change inevitable. Our young people must be able to interpret climate data and manage misinformation accurately to disrupt the insidious strategies of the fossil fuel companies and oligarchs. As educators it is up to us to shift the focus towards understanding how the challenges we face are best framed as socio-ecological (not environmental issues) and that although our futures are uncertain in many ways, change is inevitable. I have found that teaching climate impacts doesn’t increase competencies for change and action but increases anxiety and disillusionment. Leverage for curriculum change is coming, via the OECD PISA 2025 Science Framework - specifically 'Agency in the Anthropocene' (White et al, 2023) and should see curricula responding in the medium term. In the short term we must support schools to enable teachers to become informed and resourced to provide high-quality climate change education. Action oriented strategies for learning develop learner agency (and compel teacher agency) and may lead to schools becoming climate education hubs for communities.In Australia, we are advocating for renewed policy (curriculum and beyond) that will enable and support (and resource) climate change education. In this presentation I will outline the research that informs the policy drive as well as the classroom practices that empower teachers and students to become informed future citizens who make responsible decisions.

Abstract

Field biologists and ecologists often handle large quantity of data, to provide comprehensive conclusion of ecosystem (biology + environment) interactions. However, this also raised an issue of the capacity to obtain such large numbers of data for the study. One such effort is to integrate publicly available data with public volunteerisms (citizen science initiatives) in understanding and protecting marine ecosystems. Furthermore, with additional advancement of computational power, machine learning, and available free resources to guide users in such efforts. Here presents three complementary research projects demonstrating data mining and citizen science approaches across international, national, and local scales. Furthermore, machine learnings were used to identify the patterns and help policy makers to understand the threats we are facing. International collaborations revealed significant change of Okinawan (Japan:1919 & 2018) land use due to coastal development, especially to convert to fishing ports and civilian recreational areas. This has raised the public awareness of anthropogenic developments across diverse coastal environments from ocean areas to sandy beaches. The national-scale project utilized volunteer data of Reef Check Malaysia from 513 sites to assess coral reef health, by narrowing on key indicator species such as hard corals, parrotfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, and sea urchins. This citizen science generated targeted conservation guideline to protect the highly biodiverse ecosystem. Finally at the local level, the 20-year-old Merambong Shoal seahorse conservation project conducted population monitoring since 2005, address the vulnerable species in face of coastal developments. Machine learning clustering techniques revealed how geographical barriers influence seahorse distribution patterns in this critical habitat. The research emphasizes three key takeaway messages: valuable insights exist within publicly available datasets, data analyst is required in conservation, and coding skills are essential and can be learned easily. These findings demonstrate how integrating citizen science with academic research creates powerful frameworks for environmental and conservation guidelines and policies.

Abstract

Ethnobotany stands at the intersection of biodiversity, cultural heritage, and sustainable development. This lecture explores the dynamic relationships between people and plants across diverse Indonesian landscapes, spanning urban traditional markets to remote sacred forests. Drawing from empirical research conducted in Pasar Gede, a culturally significant traditional market in Surakarta, the presentation highlights how urban ethnobotany thrives within complex multicultural environments. Here, edible, medicinal, and ceremony plants serve not only economic and health-related functions but also act as vessels of cultural identity and memory. The lecture further examines ethnobotanical practices in conservation settings, focusing on sacred forests such as Bukit Badindiang in West Sumatra. Managed through customary law, these forests demonstrate how belief systems, cultural values, and ecological stewardship are deeply intertwined. Local governance based on spiritual and ethical frameworks effectively safeguards rare and ecologically vital plant species, contributing significantly to biodiversity preservation and carbon sequestration. Through case studies, this presentation argues that ethnobotany is not merely about cataloguing plant uses but is an active mechanism for sustaining biocultural diversity. It highlights the urgent need to integrate indigenous knowledge into modern conservation strategies, fostering collaborative models that respect local wisdom while addressing global environmental challenges. Ethnobotany, as demonstrated through these Indonesian landscapes, offers a compelling framework for understanding how culture and nature co-evolve, ensuring resilience for both ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) constitutes a significant health burden in Indonesia, accounting for approximately one-third of all deaths. Hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia are established primary risk factors for CVD. This mini-review synthesizes current knowledge on CVD, the characteristics of probiotic bacteria, and the potential of Indonesian fermented foods to mitigate CVD risk. Indonesia boasts a rich and diverse array of traditional fermented foods, including tape, tempeh, dadih, sayur asin, tempoyak, and growol. Notably, many of these foods harbor diverse probiotic microorganisms, such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Lactococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Weissella, Pediococcus, Rhizopus, Penicillium, and Saccharomyces. Various studies have explored the beneficial effects of probiotics, with hypocholesterolemic and hypolipidemic effects increasing in recent years. Consistent consumption of probiotics has demonstrated the potential to reduce total serum cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, liver cholesterol, and triglycerides, while concurrently elevating high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The impact of probiotics on lipid profiles is influenced by many factors, such as the specific probiotic strain, dosage, and the individual's dietary habits and overall health status. This review highlighted the promising role of probiotics derived from Indonesian fermented foods as a complementary strategy in preventing cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the problem-solving abilities of pre-service biology teachers in addressing coastal environmental issues through a Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) approach. The research employed a descriptive method, using tests and interviews as data collection techniques. The HOTS-based test was administered to students enrolled in the Environmental Education course at Pattimura University. The test instrument was developed based on five problem-solving indicators: problem identification, problem analysis, formulation of alternative solutions, evaluation of solutions, and decision-making including follow-up planning. In addition to the test, unstructured interviews were conducted to explore students' perceptions of the questions and the challenges they encountered. The results showed an average student score of 74.0, with the highest score in problem identification (84), followed by problem analysis (76), solution evaluation (74), alternative solution formulation (72), and the lowest in decision-making and follow-up actions (64). These findings suggest that while students demonstrated strong abilities in identifying and analyzing coastal environmental problems, their capacity to design practical and implementable solutions requires further development. The outcomes of this study provide a foundation for developing a more context-based curriculum in Ambon that addresses local coastal environmental issues.

Abstract

This study introduces and evaluates a generative STEM education model grounded in the Subak landscape of Bali, designed to integrate Indigenous ecological knowledge with contemporary science learning frameworks. The model draws on the principles of generative justice-defined as value circulation within communities-and entropic modulation-a concept referring to balancing variation and structure for resilience. Culturally Situated Design Tools (CSDTs), which are simulation-based tools for visualizing ecological processes, were employed to model sustainable farming practices in Subak, focusing on intermittent irrigation data that connects water surface levels, drying periods, drying duration, and timing with changes in temperature, methane emissions, and rice yield. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining design-based research, participatory action research, classroom observations, focus groups, and pre/post assessments. Preliminary findings indicate a 27% improvement in students’ conceptual understanding, particularly regarding Subak water management, greenhouse gas emissions, and the relationships between irrigation practices, environmental conditions, and rice production. These findings demonstrate that the Subak-based generative STEM model not only enhances student engagement, systems thinking, and ecological literacy but also offers concrete evidence for developing a culturally grounded framework for decolonizing STEM education.

Abstract

The escalating rise of antibiotic resistance poses a significant challenge to discovering new, effective antibiotics. This crisis represents one of the most critical threats to global health, potentially leading to a future where even minor infections could become fatal. Endophytic fungi have recently emerged as a promising source of novel bioactive compounds. This review highlights the potential of endophytic fungi isolated from mangrove vegetation to produce new antimicrobial agents. Mangrove-derived endophytic fungi are found in healthy leaves, hypocotyls, roots, stems, and flowers. The symbiotic relationship between mangrove vegetation and these fungi promotes the synthesis of diverse bioactive compounds, including newly discovered molecules such as cytospyrone, cytospomarin, penicibrocazines, thiocladospolides, coumarin, isocoumarins, and dihydroradicinin. Beyond their antimicrobial potential, these fungi also produce compounds with antifungal, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-filarial, antibiofilm, influenza antiviral, antimycobacterial, and biological control properties. The traditional approach to antibiotic development is complex, challenging, costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. To overcome these obstacles, research must integrate machine learning for big data analysis and molecular-based exploration, including genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics.
