“…The Lio people of Ende, Flores, Indonesia, are known for their rich traditional knowledge of ethnomedicine. The Lio population is dispersed across traditional villages surrounding the Kelimutu National Park, with the Kelimutu Three-Color Lake as the epicenter for their annual ritual called "patika" (Winarto 2019). Their intensive interaction with the surrounding environment has equipped the Lio people with ethnomedical knowledge to prevent and treat various diseases afflicting the community .…”

Background: Ethnomedicine research employing the positivist paradigm has documented the types and benefits of flora and fauna used in traditional medicine. However, it has failed to explain the production of ethnomedical knowledge. A multidisciplinary approach provides opportunities for ethnomedicine research to explore the role of traditional knowledge sources in producing ethnomedical knowledge and analyze the impact of modern knowledge dominance on the existence of ethnomedicine. This study aims to document Lio's traditional healing practices and investigate the sources of their knowledge and transmission methods.Methods: Lio's people ethnomedicinal data and traditional healing practices were gathered from seven Lio's traditional healers through semi-structured questionnaires. Ethnomedicinal data were quantitatively analyzed using Use Value (UV) and Family Importance Value (FIV). Qualitative data obtained from semi-structured interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques.Results: This study concludes that the Lio people possess significant potential in terms of knowledge and raw materials for traditional medicine. Dreams serve as a medium for Lio herbalists to obtain and pass on ethnomedical knowledge to the next generation. The younger generation's interest in pursuing a career as herbalists has declined due to the modernization of the healthcare system in rural areas. Conclusions:The communities of the Rwenzori region depend a lot on herbal medicine to treat various diseases irrespective of the availability of modern health care.

Currently, the Kelimutu National Park (KNP) is developing a conservation partnership approach to improve the welfare of local communities while restoring degraded ecosystems. This approach provides access to the community so that it is expected to be able to increase participation and be able to live harmoniously with the KNP environment. Communities around KNP still depend on forests and forest land to find a source of livelihood. Also, partnership schemes can be a solution to overcome tenurial conflicts. This study aims to describe the efforts of conservation partnerships in increasing sustainable livelihood assets , including natural, human, physical, social and financial capital, so that they can be used to measure the success of implementing conservation partnerships. This study uses qualitative methods with in-depth interviews and observation as data collection techniques. The results show conservation partnership in KNP increases natural capital as KNP establishes traditional zones for traditional coffee agroforestry practices, human capital through eco-interpreter training, social capital by strengthening Saga indigenous groups, and financial capital which indirectly increases accessibility and infrastructure needed for rural development. economy and tourism. Nonetheless, further efforts are still needed to increase the effectiveness and success of this conservation partnership program.
