Abstract. Elfis, Titisari PW, Suharni N, Khairani, Janna N, Permatasari T, Chahyana I. 2020. Ethnoornithological study in selected villages of Riau Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1645-1652. Riau Province, along the central-eastern coast of Sumatra, is an area of high bird diversity. The purpose of this study is to document and analyze the ethnoornithological local wisdom of some selected villages and use it to develop a strategy for biodiversity conservation in Riau. The method used in this research involved direct observation of some areas that have local accumulated natural history knowledge and interviews with selected informants of the local community. Some bird species were found to be central to the local culture, and these included the Punai Saluang/Sumatran Green-pigeon (Treron oxyura Temminck), Serindit Melayu/Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot (Loriculus galgulus Linnaeus), Bubut/Greater Coucal (Centropus Sinensis Stephens), and Rangkong Gading/Helmeted Hornbill (Rhinoplax vigil Forster). These bird species are used in traditional medicine, rituals and symbols in Riau Province. Serindit Melayu/Blue-crowned Hanging Parrot is a symbol of the Malay community in Riau and averts evil in the village of Gema. Rangkong Gading/Helmeted Hornbill body parts are used in ritual treatment to cure various diseases by the TalangMamak Tribe in Rantau Langsat. Punai Saluang/Sumatran Green-pigeon is used as a metaphor in folk literature of the Malays in the Pelalawan area, and Bubut/Greater Coucal (Centropus sinensis Stephens) body parts are used as traditional medicine by the Malays in Kuok Village. There are several aspects that need to be studied further to conserve these birds, including the ecology, reproduction, and behavior aspects. Through preservation of these ethnoornithological rituals and education of the younger generation, these and other species of birds can be better sustained in and around the culture of Riau society.
Mangrove forest is a unique and vulnerable ecosystem. This ecosystem serves both ecological and economic purposes. The Siak government has begun to develop the Sungai Apit District mangrove area, which has potential. The goal of this research was to develop a sustainable mangrove ecotourism strategy through five research goals: (1) identification of mangrove species diversity; (2) identification of ecotourism supply; (3) identification of ecotourism demand, (4) development strategy of mangrove ecotourism, and (5) development of the potential for mangrove ecotourism to increase the SDGs value. This research was conducted from January to April 2020. The supply and demand of natural tourism objects and attractions were assessed using ADO-ODTWA criteria analysis. The IFAS/EFAS and SWOT analysis was used to develop a mangrove ecotourism development strategy based on the valuation of ADO-ODTWA aspects. The contribution of mangrove ecotourism to UNESCO’s SDG indicators for sustainable development. According to research, there are 35 species of mangroves on the Sungai Apit coast. The outcomes demonstrated that the feasibility level of tourism attractions (204 points) and supporting elements (472 points) met high-level criteria. It indicated that the area had a high potential for development as a mangrove ecotourism area. Based on IFAS/EFAS, SWOT analysis and the grand strategy selection matrix, the position of mangrove ecotourism strategy was in Quadrant I (Strength-Opportunity). The strategy that could be developed included (1) developing special interest mangrove ecotourism product; (2) increasing facilities; (3) improving the quality of human resources; (4) developing a network on the website and (5) increasing coordination with the Government. By implementing ecotourism strategy, the SDGs can be achieved, including: no poverty (goal 1); decent work and economic growth (goal 8); climate action (goal 13); life below water (goal 14); life on land (goal 15); and partnerships to achieve goals (goal 17).
Kegiatan penguatan kapasitas ibu rumah tangga dalam pemanfaatan tanaman obat keluarga (TOGA) berbasis mangrove di Desa Sungai Rawa Kecamatan Sungai Apit Kabupaten Siak. Berdasarkan observasi di lapangan diketahui bahwa beberapa ibu rumah tangga telah menanam TOGA, namun demikian jumlah TOGA yang ditanam jumlahnya terbatas. Sebagian dari mereka telah mengetahui khasiat TOGA dan secara teknis juga telah mampu mengolah TOGA, namun demikian mereka belum memahami khasiat TOGA secara ilmiah. Metoda pelaksanaan kegiatan ini berupa bimbingan teknis dengan teknik penyampaian ceramah yang digunakan untuk menyampaikan materi tentang TOGA serta demonstrasi yang digunakan untuk menunjukkan cara mempraktekkan budidaya TOGA serta pegolahannya menjadi ramuan obat keluarga. Kegiatan ini telah terlaksana dan berhasil dengan baik. Hasil pelaksanaan kegiatan dapat dicermati antara lain meningkatnya pengetahuan para ibu rumah tangga melalui pemahaman tentang aneka jenis tanaman obat berbasis mangrove. Keterampilan penanaman dan pengolahan tanaman obat menjadi minuman kesehatan yang dapat diharapkan meningkatkan mutu kesehatan keluarga. Kegiatan ini tergolong berhasil karena terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan peserta kegiatan, sebagian besar peserta menunjukkan ketrampilan yang memadai pada saat melakukan demonstrasi praktik langsung mulai dari pembuatan media tanam, penanaman, hingga pemeliharaan tanaman obat berbasis mangrove pada lahan pekarangan di Desa Sungai Rawa Kecamatan Sungai Apit
