Abundance and Distribution of Medicinal Plants in Madapi Forest Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) Rejang Lebong, Bengkulu

AbstractStudies of abundance and distribution of organisms are fundamental to ecology. The identity of host species is known to be one of the major factors influencing ectoparasitic flea abundance, but explanations are still needed regarding how host taxa influence abundance parameters of different flea species. This study was carried out at La Malinche National Park (LMNP), Tlaxcala, Mexico, where previously 11 flea species had been recorded on 8 host species. Our aims were to list micromammal flea species, to determine flea infection parameters [flea prevalence (FP) and flea mean abundance (FMA)] and to analyse the influence of host species on these parameters. A total of 16 species of fleas were identified from 1178 fleas collected from 14 species of 1274 micromammals captured with Sherman®traps from March 2014 to December 2015 in 18 sites at LMNP. Some host species influence FP and FMA, in particular,Microtus mexicanusandPeromyscus melanotisshowed particularly higher infection values than other host species.Plusaetis aztecusandPlusaetis sibynuswere identified as the most abundant flea species.

The Village

Kesejahteraan masyarakat merupakan hal penting yang perlu terus ditingkatkan, salah satunya dapat dilakukan dengan mengelola sumber daya alam atau potensi lokal. Kecamatan Poncokusumo merupakan bagian dari wilayah Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru (TNBTS) yang menyimpan berbagai potensi lokal, salah satunya yaitu tanaman berpotensi obat. Keberadaan tanaman berpotensi obat dapat dijadikan sebagai tonggak dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat di Kecamatan Poncokusumo, terutama di desa Argosuko. Berkaitan dengan permasalahan tersebut, dilakukan beberapa upaya pendampingan: 1) pembuatan simplisia, 2) penyusunan komposisi simplisia sebagai bahan obat, hingga 3) pengemasan dan pengurusan ijin PIRT/BPOM. Partisipan dalam penelitian dan pengabdian adalah ibu-ibu PKK desa Argosuko sebanyak 30 orang, berasal dari 3 dusun (Keden, Wangkal Kidul, dan Wangkal Lor). Hasil penelitian dan pengabdian masyarakat menunjukkan bahwa seluruh ibu-ibu PKK bisa mengikuti kegiatan pendampingan yang diadakan. Melalui program pendampingan, ibu-ibu PKK memperoleh pembekalan bagaimana memperkaya pengetahuan tentang pembuatan bermacam-macam simplisia yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi, bagaimana menyusun komposisi simplisia sebagai bahan jamu herbal, bagaimana cara melakukan pengemasan yang menarik konsumen, dan bagaimana mendapatkan legalitas dari dinas terkait. Sehingga harapannya, di masa depan ibu-ibu PKK dapat mengatasi masalah perekonomian akibat ketidaktahuan dalam mengelola potensi lokal sebagai sumber ekonomi untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan keluarga dan masyarakat.Kata kunci—pendampingan, branding, simplisia, kesejahteraan masyarakatAbstractCommunity welfare is an important thing that needs to be improved, one of which can be done by managing natural resources or local potential. Poncokusumo Subdistrict is part of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS) which stores a variety of local potential, one of which is a potentially medicinal plant. The existence of potential medicinal plants can be used as a milestone in improving the welfare of the community in the District of Poncokusumo, especially in the village of Argosuko. In acquintance with this problem, several assistance efforts have been made: 1) manufacturing of simplicia, 2) preparation of the composition of simplicia as a medicinal ingredient, up to 3) packaging and processing of PIRT/BPOM permits. Participants in the research and service were 30 PKK Argosuko village women, coming from three hamlets (Keden, Wangkal Kidul, and Wangkal Lor). The results of research and community service show that all PKK can participate in the mentoring activities that are held. Through the mentoring program, PKK got a briefing on how to enrich their knowledge about making various kinds of simplicia that have high economic value, how to arrange the composition of simplicia as herbal medicinal ingredients, how to do packaging that attracts consumers, and how to obtain legality from related agencies. Therefore, it is expected in the future, PKK can overcome economic problems due to ignorance in managing local potential as an economic source to improve the welfare of families and communities.Keywords—assistance, branding, simplicia, community welfare

This study was undertaken to enumerate the medicinal plants of the area, find out the conservation status, and record the folk knowledge from the inhabitants of Turmic Valley during 2011-2013. The valley is located in the Rondo division of the District Skardu on the Northeastern side of the Indus River. The detailed information about the local flora regarding medicinal uses was collected from the local herbal healers (Hakeems) and other knowledgeable people. Locally used herbs of the area prevent and cure the people from various diseases such as joint pains, bronchitis, flu and fever, lowering blood pressure, constipation, liver disorders, stomach and abdominal problems, etc. The most common medicinal herbs found in the region belong to the families Gentianaceae, Berberidaceae, Umbelliferae, Labiatae, Rosaceae, Compositae, Urticaceae, and Ranunculaceae. The inhabitants of the valley mostly use the 42 plant species for the treatment of different health problems. Forty-two species of plants (including 4 Gymnosperms, 1 monocotyledon, and 37 dicotyledons) and 35 types of diseases have been identified during the current study. Thymus linearis, Rosa webbiana, Urtica dioca, Pleurospermum candollei, Berberis spp., Delphinium brononianum, and Mentha angustifolia were the commonly used plant species in the valley. The collected baseline data of this study will be helpfulfor young researchers in the fieldof taxonomy, ethnobotany, pharmacology, organic chemistry, and particularly for biodiversity conservation. Over exploitation, habitat destruction, and over grazing are the major threats for the loss of the important flora of the area.
