Biodiversitas 20: 190-197. Study the Talang Mamak tribe is an isolated community that lives traditionally in the downstream Indragiri River, Riau Province, Indonesia. This tribe is one of the oldest Malay tribes (Proto Malay), relatively still maintaining hunting and gathering mode of life even though now some of them began to settle and farm. The study aims to identify their local wisdom and analyze it in the context of bioresource utilization to sustain their living needs. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and triangulation. The informants to be interviewed were selected using purposive sampling. The study showed that the local wisdom of Talang Mamak Tribe had sustainable dimension in managing bioresources which inherited from their ancestors. This cultural heritage guides the community to always live in harmony with the universe which is reflected in ritual activities such as melambas and basolang menugal (clearing land for farming), manumbai (harvesting timber from the forest) and manjumbai (harvesting honey). Sociologically, the traditions or customs carried out by the Talang Mamak tribe are an effort to preserve and maintain bioresource, so as to create a balance of relations between humans and nature.
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.

Konservasi merupakan bagian dari konsep ekologi mengenai bagaimana melindungi dan menjaga sumber daya alam. Konservasi memberikan pengetahuan serta keterampilan serta mengubah pola pikir dan sikap individu terhadap lingkungan. Pembelajaran berbasis konservasi merupakan hal yang penting untuk dilakukan, mengingat peserta didik dapat berpartisipasi dalam kelestarian lingkungan. Tujuan dari penelitian untuk mengembangkan serta menghasilkan perangkat media pembelajaran digital mengenai konservasi Gajah Sumatra (Elephas maximus sumatranus) dalam bentuk elektronik modul. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret hingga Juli 2020 di Taman Nasional Tesso Nilo dan Program Studi Pendidikan Biologi Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Islam Riau. Metode yang digunakan adalah observasi langsung, FGD (Focus Group Discussion), wawancara, dan angket. Sedangkan pengembangan media pembelajaran e-modul dibuat dengan mengikuti model ADDIE. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 3 validator (1 ahli media, 2 ahli materi, 1 dosen pengampu) dan 35 mahasiswa. Hasil dari validasi dalam pengembangan elektronik modul ini mendapat skor di atas rata-rata dengan kategori sangat valid ditinjau dari aspek desain media, program dan kualitas isi. Berdasarkan hasil validasi tersebut pengembangan media pembelajaran e-modul konservasi gajah sumatra (Elephas maximus sumatranus) mendapat respon yang sangat baik, efektif, dan layak digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran.
