“…Nearly 10% angiosperm species are under threats to be extinct due to population pressure, habitat loss and over consumption [27]. Even 75 medicinal plant species only under the two families (Apocynaceae and Vitacease) and 28 species to be threatened due to habitat destruction and over exploitation [28]. In addition, 94 of 179 species of Orchidaceae and 26 of 86 species of Lamiaceaeae are threatened [29].…”

The study is based on intensive survey of relevant literature which reviews the present status, threats, conservation initiatives and major legislation related to conservation of forest ecosystems and plant diversity. The three natural forests (Hill, Sal and mangrove forest) are the key habitats of plant diversity and cover about 2 million hectares of land. Despite a flora diversity rich country, the existence of many plant species is currently under threat as evident by continuous degradation of natural forest in Bangladesh. There is an increasing pressure on the biodiversity of this country to meet the needs of the increasing population of Bangladesh. As a result, many plant species are gradually declining and are facing extinction. Over exploitation of natural ecosystems, land use changes, permanent infrastructures in natural ecosystems, illegal logging, natural disasters, climate change effects and limited forest protected areas (FPAs) are key threats to plant diversity. Government has made some initiative to conserve the remaining plant diversity including declaration of FPAs, national conservation strategies and establishment of environment related acts. At present 47 FPAs are established as in-situ and ex-situ conservation approaches to preserve plant diversity. Several preservation plots, clone banks and arboreta are also functioning as conservation approaches. The country has several laws that address forest and biodiversity conservation, several of which has been amended in last decade. Recently the country has taken some policies and projects in small scale to ensure effective conservation of plant diversity through sustainable management practices. Although co-management by FPAs authority and local participant has some advantageous effects, the existing conservation practices are still poor to effective conservation of flora diversity.

“…Masyarakat umum juga dapat dilibatkan secara tidak resmi melalui edukasi pada pembelajaran di tingkat sekolah dan perkuliahan. Selama ini riset tentang tumbuhan langka masih terbatas dilakukan oleh para ahli dari instansi terkait, seperti Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) (Widjaja et al, 2014;Robiansyah & Davy, 2015;von Rintelen et al, 2017;Susiarti et al, 2018), North Carolina Natural Heritage Program N.C. Department of Natural andCultural Resources (Robinson, 2018), IUCN (Hilton-Taylor, 2000;Dodo, 2015), Ministry Of Science, Technology and Innovation Government of Malaysia (Chua et al, 2010), Fauna and Flora (CITES, 2017), dan berbagai Perguruan Tinggi (Soejono, 2014;Harun-ur-Rashid et al, 2014), tetapi diperkirakan belum ada publikasi tentang literasi tumbuhan langka melalui pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu dalam rangka berorientasi pada pengenalan dan pengamatan tumbuhan langka Indonesia, maka studi tentang literasi tumbuhan langka pada mahasiswa Biologi perlu dilakukan melalui tugas perkuliahan Biologi Tumbuhan yaitu mini riset.…”

RARE PLANT LITERACY FOR BIOLOGICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS AS A RESULT OF THE TASK OF MINI RESEARCH AbstractIndonesia is known as one of the mega biodiversity countries, but ironically biodiversity in Indonesia has actually decreased, so that there are around 240 species of plants already included in the list of endangered plants. Therefore a movement is needed to educate the academic community, in this case Biology Education students through lecture assignments about endangered plant literacy. Thus the problem in this study is how the literacy of endangered plants of Biology Education students as a result of mini research in plant biology lectures. This research is a descriptive research. The research instruments included a mini research assessment sheet, which included aspects of the accuracy of determining plant species which included endangered categories, descriptions of morphology, classification and benefits of these plants. Biology Education students are assigned to survey, inventory and observe endangered plants in West Java. Overall endangered plant literacy of Biology Education students is good, but the aspect that is still lacking is in determining plant species in endangered categories. One of the plants found in Sukabumi area is Cynometra cauliflora including vulnerable plants. Need to develop assignments and assessments to assess endangered plant literacy of students to be more comprehensive. AbstrakIndonesia dikenal sebagai salah satu negara mega biodiversitas tetapi ironisnya keanekaragaman hayati di Indonesia justeru mengalami penurunan, sehingga ada sekitar 240 jenis tumbuhan sudah masuk dalam daftar tumbuhan langka. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan suatu gerakan untuk mengedukasi masyarakat akademis, dalam hal ini mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi melalui tugas perkuliahan tentang literasi tumbuhan langka. Dengan demikian masalah yang diangkat pada penelitian ini adalah bagaimana literasi tumbuhan langka mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi sebagai hasil tugas mini riset perkuliahan biologi tumbuhan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif. Instrumen penelitian meliputi lembar penilaian mini riset, yang meliputi aspek ketepatan penentuan spesies tumbuhan yang termasuk kategori langka, deskripsi morfologi, klasifikasi dan manfaat tumbuhan tersebut. Mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi ditugaskan untuk mensurvey, menginventarisasi dan mengobservasi tumbuhan langka yang berada di daerah Jawa Barat. Secara keseluruhan literasi tumbuhan langka mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi termasuk baik, tetapi aspek yang masih kurang sekali adalah pada penentuan spesies tumbuhan dalam kategori langka. Salah satu tumbuhan yang ditemukan di daerah Sukabumi adalah Cynometra cauliflora termasuk tumbuhan berstatus rawan. Perlu pengembangan penugasan dan asesmennya untuk menilai literasi tumbuhan langka mahasiswa agar lebih komprehensif.

“…In Bangladesh, the plant is locally known as Surjamukhi ludi, Lata Aam, Lati Aam. It is found in the Chattogram Hill Tracts, Cox's Bazar, and Sylhet evergreen forests [1]. Traditionally, the stem of this plant is used in the treatment of yaws, dysentery, and liver discomfort; whereas the root is used in treating heartburn, jaundice, and diarrhea internally.…”
