<![CDATA[Ethnobotany plays a significant role in drug discovery. However, some species are often overlooked due to the lack of cultural importance. In this paper, we conducted a literature review on two lesser-known Ficus species in Indonesia, namely Ficus septica Burm.f. and Ficus deltoidea Jack. Compared to F. benjamina, these two species remain understudied. Our results showed that there are three recorded different uses of F. deltoidea and twelve of F. septica. The utilization of F. deltoidea is purely for ethnomedicine (100%), while F. septica is used for ethnomedicine (69%), culture (23%) and others (8%). The stems (50%) and the roots (50%) are the only plant parts utilized from F. deltoidea, while almost all plant parts of F. septica are utilized. Traditionally, F. deltoidea is used as an aphrodisiac, to treat internal diseases and wounds, and to increase stamina. Studies support the use of F. deltoidea as a cure for internal diseases and wounds as it has antimicrobial compounds. F. septica is traditionally used to cure boils, anthelmintic and fever for children, appendicitis, asthma, venomous snake bites, skin diseases, eye-redness, haemorrhoid, and tuberculosis. Studies support that F. septica could cure boils as its chemical compounds inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, the bacteria that cause boils. Furthermore, there are many other active compounds found in these species which are still understudied. Therefore, we conclude that F. deltoidea and F. septica have the potential to be used as modern medicine and require more in-depth research using the most advanced methods and technology.]]>

<![CDATA[Macrobenthos is a biological resource of water that lives on the bottom of the waters with characteristics that have a high level of sensitivity to changes in environmental quality as a bioindicator of pollution and environmental quality. The purpose of the study was to determine macrobenthos diversity as an indicator of pollution in the Kalianget coastal mangrove forest. Descriptive research with random sampling method with squared transects. Data collection through observation of macrobenthos populations. Research results a) the greatest diversity of macrobenthos of the class Crustaceans obtained 9 species, class Gastropods 5 species, class Bivalves found 3 species and from class Polychaeta found 1 species. b) The Macrobenthos Diversity Index on the Kalianget coast is 1.084539 with the category of moderate macrobenthos diversity, has moderate community stability and polluted waters but is still within the threshold that living things can tolerate.Diversity; Index diversity; Macrobenthos; Mangrove ecosystems]]>

<![CDATA[Bats are one of the animals that have great environmental services. Habitat destruction is one of the reasons for the reduction in the number of bats. the study of the habitat and population of bats is important considering the damaged habitat. This research was conducted by using the caving technique and sex comparison analysis. These cave-dwelling bats occupy a humid location, lack of light and temperatures ranging from 34°C. cave-dwelling bats are dominated by females.]]>

<![CDATA[West Lombok is one of the areas on the island of Lombok which has a lot of tourist charm, especially natural tourism. Birdwatching is a bird watching activity that can increase environmental awareness and a source of economic income for tourism managers (ecotourism). The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of bird species in Sandik City Park located in West Lombok. Bird observation using the Encounter Rates method. From the results of the study, 11 species of birds were found, consisting of honey-sucking, insect-eating, and grain-eating species. The value of bird species diversity was in the medium category (H'=2.28), with the highest number of birds dominated by the Passer montanus. The Scaly-crowned Honeyeater (Lichmera lombokia) is a bird typical of the island of Lombok that can be found easily along with other honey-sucking birds in the morning at Sandik City Park. The primadoma plant perch for chirping birds in the garden is the Coral Tree (Erythrina crista-galli). By knowing the level of diversity of bird species and the characteristics of their preferred habitat, it is necessary to serve as a guide for the government in managing city parks to be more friendly to animal life, especially birds. Preservation of birds that are maintained in city parks is a feature of habitat sustainability which indirectly brings economic benefits to park managers.]]>

<![CDATA[Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease after severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in developed countries including Indonesia. Drug resistance becomes major issue worldwide and needs prospective therapeutics development. Plant with medicinal properties including Physalis peruviana is one the promising object to be new anti-TB drug candidate. This study aimed to analyze the inhibitory activity of anti-TB agents from aerial parts of P. peruviana. Ligand and protein samples were obtained from PubChem and RCSB PDB, respectively. The bioactive compounds were evaluated their antibacterial prediction and drug-likeness properties throughout PASS Online and SwissADME webservers. Selected ligands then docked via PyRX and measured the output by binding affinity. Visualization of the best outputs was carried out using BIOVIA Discovery Studio. The result showed that phytofluene had the lowest binding affinity topping the isoniazid as control with -7.2 and -5.1 kcal/mol after targeting enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase (InhA) protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This concluded that phytofluene functioned as predictive anti-TB therapeutic candidate. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to validate this outcome.]]>
