Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) regarding local food plants is knowledge that is owned by local communities and is passed down from generation to generation. LED is obtained through a long process of adaptation and is used by local communities to address environmental problems. The Kabola ethnic group also has LEK regarding food plants used to solve food problems on dry land, but the LEK owned by the Kabola ethnic community is in danger of being lost. The method used is a mixed method (Mixed Methodology), which combines qualitative methods and quantitative methods, data collection begins with an exploration using a qualitative case study method by means of in-depth interviews followed by a quantitative survey method of the plant species mentioned during the interview. The results showed that the Kabola ethnic group still collects wild food plants from forests, former gardens and riverbanks, even though they have cultivated various types of food crops; The Kabola ethnic group community collects food plants during the rainy season and dry season, but most food gathering activities are carried out at the end of the rainy season and during the dry season; The people of the Kabola ethnic group collect food by using simple tools while leaving certain parts of the plant from which the food is collected; The people of the Kabola ethnic group still pass on local knowledge about foodstuffs to the younger generation through stories, personal experiences and providing examples or direct practices about plants that can be used to meet food needs; The Kabola ethnic group cultivates local food plants, but these cultivation efforts are only carried out individually and have not received support from the local government.

Gorgonian species play an important ecological role in the structure and function of marine communities. Human activities are negatively affecting the conservation status of gorgonian populations in the Mediterranean. Acquiring knowledge of gorgonian distribution is therefore a key step required to promote efficient management and conservation actions. However, information on the distribution of gorgonian species is lacking in many Mediterranean areas. This study aimed to provide an overview of the geographic and bathymetric distributions of gorgonians in the coastal waters of the Tunisian coast (1136 km). The sampling design encompassed three sectors, 27 localities and 87 sites. Information was collected from scuba diving (26 sites) and local ecological knowledge surveys of fishermen and divers (132 interviews), as well as from a literature review. Overall, the occurrence of eight gorgonians was confirmed at 54 out of the 87 sites surveyed in Tunisian coastal waters (7-120 m depth). The species that were found were Eunicella singularis, Eunicella cavolini, Paramuricea clavata, Paramuricea macrospina, Leptogorgia sarmentosa, Eunicella verrucosa, Corallium rubrum and Ellisella paraplexauroides. The highest gorgonian species richness and abundance was recorded in northern, followed by eastern Tunisian waters. In the southern areas only one species was recorded. This pattern was related to the rocky substrate that characterizes the northern and eastern coasts of Tunisia. This study is the first to report the occurrence of E. singularis, E. cavolini, E. verrucosa and Leptogorgia sarmentosa in northern and eastern Tunisian waters. The results are discussed in the hope of guiding future conservation and management actions for gorgonian assemblages in Tunisia.

Literature and language play important role in forming the character of a country. Language that is delicate, neatly arranged, and expressed with good manner in various occasions creates lovely, beautiful, well-mannered, civilized impressions either for the speaker or the listener. Therefore in a long time, whether when it is in the position as lingua franca for the Nusantara people or when it is in the position as regional language, Malay, and Malay literature, has played important role in forming Malay country’s character. Speaking and doing literature using Malay that is based on the ethical and aesthetic values not only colour the life of the noblemen in the kingdom palace, but also among the people. The delivery of certain messages orally through pantun or literary texts such as poem and gurindam that contain a lot of moral values, really contributes to the forming of Nusantara people’s personality and character. The problem is that country’s character is not the destiny or fate, not something that has been available on its own; it is a “course” or “duty”. It must be planted, internalized, built, formed, and kept ground inside the country’s children selves. In this context, language plays important role. Language is the symbolic system that with it men can form, raise, and develop their culture. In relation to it, the position and function of Indonesian and regional (Malay) languages must be reinforced: “schools oblige to develop Indonesian and regional languages to become the part of country’s character building.”AbstrakSastra dan bahasa memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk karakter suatu bangsa. Bahasa yang halus, tertata rapi, dan disampaikan dengan tatakrama yang baik dalam berbagai kesempatan menimbulkan kesan elok, indah, santun, terhormat, beradab, baik bagi pembicara maupun pendengarnya. Demikianlah dalam waktu yang lama, baik tatkala berkedudukan sebagai lingua franca bagi masyarakat Nusantara maupun ketika berkedudukan sebagai bahasa daerah, bahasa Melayu, pun sastra Melayu, telah memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk karakter bangsa Melayu. Berbahasa dan bersastra dengan bahasa Melayu yang berlandaskan pada nilai-nilai etika dan estetika itu tidak hanya mewarnai kehidupan para bangsawan di istana kerajaan, melainkan juga di tengah rakyat jelata. Penyampaian pesan-pesan tertentu secara lisan melalui pantun atau melalui teks sastra seperti syair dan gurindam yang banyak mengandung nilai-nilai moral, sangat kontributif bagi pembentukan kepribadian dan karakter masyarakat Nusantara. Masalahnya adalah karakter bangsa itu bukanlah nasib bukan pula takdir, bukan sesuatu yang telah tersedia dengan sendirinya; ia adalah “ikhtiar” atau “tugas”. Ia harus ditanamkan, diinternalisasikan, dibangun, dibentuk, dan terus diasah di dalam diri anak-anak bangsa. Dalam konteks ini bahasa memainkan peranan penting. Bahasa adalah sistem simbol yang dengannya manusia dapat membentuk, memelihara, dan mengembangkan kebudayaannya. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, kedudukan dan fungsi bahasa Indonesia dan daerah (Melayu) harus diperkuat: “sekolah-sekolah wajib mengembangkan bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa daerah menjadi bagian dari pembangunan karakter bangsa.”

This article investigates the folk taxonomy of four artisanal fisheries communities in Ilhabela/SP. The local folk taxonomy shows how these fishermen identify, name and classify fish resources in the environment exploited by them. Forty-two fishermen from four different local communities of Ilhabela were interviewed through a structured questionnaire and photographs of fish species with occurrence for the southeast region of Brazil. Respondents identified the 24 species listed as 50 generic names and 27 binominal specific names, mainly related to aspects of fish species morphology such as color, shape and size. These fish were classified into eight groups according to local criteria related to the morphology, ecology and fishing forms associated with the capture of species. The morphological aspect was identified as the most used feature by respondents to name and classify local fish, followed by ecological aspects such as behavior, diet and habitat. The comparison of local criteria used for the groups was similar to the scientific taxonomy criteria, showing a detailed local ecological knowledge by this group of fishers.

Iskandar J, Iskandar BS, Azril, Partasasmita R. 2017. The practice of farming, processing and trading of tobacco by Sukasari people of Sumedang District, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 1517-1527. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L) is an original crop of Cuba, Latin America, discovered by Christoper Columbus in 1492 and introduced to Europe. Moreover, it was distributed to Asia countries, including Indonesia. Local people of Sukasari village, Sukasari sub-district, Sumedang district, West Java, has cultivated tobacco for a long time, since the Dutch colonial, based on local ecological knowledge transmitted by inter-generations. As a result, local people of Sukasari village have rich knowledge on the tobacco. Nowadays, however, since the agricultural lands as well as tobacco farmers have decreased, the local ecological knowledge of the Sukasari people have eroded. This paper elucidates the local ecological knowledge of Sukasari people, Sumedang District of West Java on landraces, cultivation, process, and local trading of tobacco. The method used in this study was qualitative with descriptive analysis applying the ethnoecological approach. The result of the study showed that the Sukasari people have predominantly cultivated four landraces of the tobacco. The cultivation of tobacco include the selecting of seeds, nursery, preparing land, planting, caring, harvesting and processing of tobacco products, requiring diligent efforts and high skill. Today, the cultivation of tobacco has many constrains, such as climate anomalies, decrease of agricultural lands, and the lack of finance; consequently, the tobacco farmers have less enthusiasm to cultivate the tobacco. As a result of decreaase of tobacco cultivation, the local ecological knowledge of the Sukasari people has eroded and may extinct in the near future.

Climate change impact is calling for international attention and collaborative efforts through multilateral and bilateral agreements to reduce it. It is a complex environmental problem that is not only naturally induced but made more stressful by anthropocentric capabilities in the quest for better lifestyles. Although climate change causes and impact are known, its mitigation strategies are compounded by human wants at the expensive of their own sustainable survival. This chapter explore different ways of promoting climate change awareness through environmental education. It is important to accompany all climate change awareness efforts by recognition of local ecological knowledge that promote resilience as well as engage in research to enhance sustainable development in local communities.

Despite many years of experience in the river restoration field, which has become one of the most promising areas of water resources management, significant challenges and problems remain. These include the scope and scale of restoration measures, developing the reference model, assessment of restoration success, and the engagement of local stakeholders. Progress in addressing these challenges to river restoration could be achieved by changes in current approaches through the appreciation and integration of local communities and their local ecological knowledge (LEK). The results of discussion on ecological restoration indicate that ecological knowledge, which combines the interests of local communities and the environment, could be used in restoration projects. However, in the case of river restoration, this type of knowledge is systematically overlooked. In our paper, we discuss common river restoration problems and supportive elements that may be found in LEK. We conclude that the local stakeholders’ involvement and strong establishment of their position in the river restoration processes should be reconsidered. We believe that the application of LEK has large potential for improving water resources management and restoration of aquatic ecosystems and remains a key factor in a successful future of river restoration.

Understanding local community perceptions on impacts, causes, and responses to climate change is vital for promotion of community resilience towards climate change. This study explored local ecological knowledge (LEK) held by local communities on climate change trends and impacts in the Middle Zambezi Biosphere Reserve (MZBR), Zimbabwe. The objectives of the study were to (i) investigate local community perceptions on trends and causes of climate change, (ii) identify biophysical impacts of climate change at the local level, and (iii) explore the ecosystem-based adaptation strategies towards climate change. The study used a mixed methods approach where a household questionnaire survey (n=320), key informant interviews (n=12), and focus group discussions (n=8) were used to collect data between April 2015 and October 2016. Results from the study show that local communities have observed decreasing rainfall and increasing temperatures as key indicators of climate change. Local communities observed water scarcity, changes in vegetation phenology, livestock and wildlife mortalities, and food shortages due to drought as the major impacts on their livelihoods. LEK can contribute to adaptive management strategies that enhance resilience of socioecological systems (SES) in the face of climate change by providing information on the status and use of biophysical components of the environment and by highlighting potential local adaptation strategies that can sustain key livelihood practices.

In some conservation forest areas, interaction between local communities and natural resources is still very strong. The people who live around Taman Hutan Raya Sultan Thaha Syaifuddin Jambi Province  are known to still use some species of plants for medicinal purposes. The tradition and knowledge of local people in the rural areas about the use of plants to meet their daily needs has been going on for a long time even before an area is designated as conservation forest. The purpose of this study was to inventory the species of plants that are used as medicine by the community around Tahura STS Jambi, especially the understorey. This research was conducted at Tahura STS Jambi in July-September 2018. The method used in this study were interviews and surveys directly in the field so we only documented every kind mentioned by the informants and has a presence in the field. The results of the study showed that 22 lower-level plants were used as medicine by the community around Tahura. These plants are used as medicine for various medical and non-medical diseases. This  number of species is considered as an indicator of decreased knowledge and utilization of medicinal plants by communities around forest.
