The research was aimed to figure out the structure and composition of mangrove species in the delta of Siganoi River, Inanwatan District, South Sorong Regency, Papua. Belt transect was used and the data was analyzed using formula according to Clintron and Novelly. Research showed that ten species (seven genus) from five families were found in this area. At tree and sapling stages, Sonneratia alba performed the highest density with 324,1 trees/ha and 765,5 sapling/ha respectively, while at seedling stage Aegiceras corniculatumc with 69 seedling/ha. The highest frequency was found on trees and sapling of Sonneratia alba 0,966 and 0,431 respectevely. At the seedling stage, the highest frequency was found on species Aegiceras corniculatum (3970).

PENDAHULUANPapua memiliki sumberdaya flora dan fauna yang beragam, di Papua terdapat antara 20.000-25.000 spesies tumbuhan berpembuluh dan 60-90% di antaranya merupakan spesies endemik (Johns, 1997). Hutan tropis dataran rendah Papua memiliki kekayaan spesies tumbuhan yang tinggi, namun sebagian besar spesies tumbuhan terancam punah akibat kegiatan pembangunan yang dilakukan dewasa ini (Conservation Internasional, 1999). Salah satu kelompok jenis flora yang dapat dipelajari pemanfaatannya secara tradisional di lingkungan kebudayaan dan sistem sosial suatu kelompok masyarakat tradisional adalah tumbuhan pewarna alami. Kelompok tumbuhan ini dapat menghasilkan warna alami, serta digunakan untuk obat-obatan tradisional, pewarna bahan makanan, pewarna peralatan/perlengkapan tradisional dan magis.Menurut Husodo (1999) terdapat kurang lebih 150 jenis pewarna alami di Indonesia yang telah diidentifikasi dan digunakan secara luas dalam berbagai industri seperti pada komoditas kerajinan (kayu, bambu, pandan) dan batik (katun, sutra, wol). Jenis pewarna alami menghasilkan warna-warna dasar, misalnya: warna merah dari Caesalpina sp., warna biru dari Indigofera tinctoria, warna jingga dari Bixa olleracea dan wana kuning dari Mimosa pudica. Masyarakat Papua secara turun-temurun telah menggunakan pewarna alami sebelum dikenal bahan pewarna sintetis untuk mewarnai perlengkapan dalam kerajinan tradisional. Makabori (1999) mengemukakan bahwa terdapat delapan jenis hasil hutan non kayu yang dijadikan sumber bahan pewarna alami oleh masyarakat Papua, yang pemanfaatannya tersebar di beberapa daerah yaitu: Biak, Yapen, Arfak, dan Sorong. Delapan jenis tumbuhan pewarna alami tersebut adalah Arcangelesia sp., Callophylum inophyllum, Leea zippetiana, Morinda citrifolia, Nauclea sp., Premna corymbosa, Pterocarpus indicus, dan Rhizophora mucronata. Pewarna alami bisa diperoleh dengan cara ekstraksi dari tanaman yang banyak terdapat di sekitar. Bagian tanaman yang merupakan sumber pewarna alami adalah: kayu, kulit kayu, daun, akar, bunga, biji, dan getah. Tumbuhan pewarna alami oleh masyarakat asli Papua digunakan sebagai sumber pewarna untuk mewarnai pakaian, makanan, kosmetik, magis, dan untuk barang kerajinan (Wibowo, 2003
The aim of the research was to: (i) identify the type and extent of forest land use alteration at Sorong Natural Tourism Park (or SNTP), (ii) investigate society activities that cause forest land use alteration, and (iii) make the zoning level of environmental damage (iv) investigate the causative factors of forest land use alteration at SNTP. The method used was survey with field observation and semi-structural interview techniques. The primary data of biophysical aspects consist of type and extents of land usage by society; while data of socio-cultural aspects consist of level of community dependency upon land and the existing of local institution and management of SNTP. Secondary data that had been collected consist of study results documentation and report of SNTP management aspects. Data were analyzed by using (i) qualitative descriptive analysis of society socio-cultural and management aspects, (ii) spatial analysis of biophysical aspects, and (iii) environmental analysis of biophysical, socio-cultural and management aspects. Evaluation of environmental analysis was used to arrange directive and environmental management strategy at SNTP. Result of research indicated that since its establishment in 1981 to 2009, SNTP forest land utilizing for settlements, forest product extraction and shifting cultivation activity by society had been cause of land use alteration occurred which was incompatible with area function about 11,53%. Changing in the land use caused by society activities in land utilizes such settlements, forest product extraction and shifting cultivation. Level of environmental degradation in the catchments area of damage SNTP level indicates that 8.01% of total of land area was in slightly damaged, 2.36% was moderately damaged and 1.16% is in heavily damaged. Inadequate support on socio-cultural aspects of society at SNTP and the lack of founding and supervising upon SNTP management was pointed as causative factors on environmental damage. Based on level of environmental damage, community based forest management system will be able to be implemented as environmental management strategy at SNTP.
Abstract. Rahawarin YY. 2017. Non-timber forest products extracted activities of the upstream Mamberamo basin's traditional communities of West Papua,. The aim of this study is to find utilization activities of extracting nontimber forest products by local communities on the upstream part of Mamberamo Basin. Survey, observation and semi-structural interview were taken to generate data and information. The result showed that the local communities extracted several of non-timber forest products over the course of their generations to fulfill basic daily necessities. There were several types of non-timber forest products that have been used by local communities either from plants wild animals that living across different types of forest. These activities were lasted for generations so that people called it as a traditional conservation. They are still exist recently and believed to maintain the long-lasting of non timber forest products continuity to keep the availability of traditional food sources for the daily needs over generations.
This research is executed aim to know the plant species and the way of exploiting permanent wood upon which traditional boat making by Yachai tribe in Mappi regency. The Method that used in this research is descriptive method with the structural semi interview technique and direct perception in field. Result of research indicate that the tribe Yachai exploit the plant species have permanent wood upon which traditional boat as much 26 species from 14 family. There are 8 wood species which is often used for the body of boat and also own the good quality according to Yachai tribe, that is Atam (Scihizomeria serrata Hochr), Batki (Adinandra forbesii Baker.

While to part of oar exploit 2 wood species that is Bach (Buchanania Arborescens.Bi) and Tup (Litsea ampala Merr). Yachai Tribe recognized 3 boat model owning different size measure and function, that is
