“…Underutilize fruit resources can be used to combat malnutrition, hunger and reduce the impact on overexploited fruits. The use of forest food plants like fruit plants that can contribute to food self-sufficiency could be one of the ways to combat food insecurity (Belem et al (1996). Underestimation, underutilization and high population growth leading to deforestation must lead to the loss of diversity of wild fruit species (Ohiokpehai 2003;Bagra et al 2006).…”

Abstract. Suwardi AB, Navia ZI, Harmawan T, Syamsuardi, Mukhtar E. 2020. Ethnobotany and conservation of indigenous edible fruit plants in South Aceh, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1850-1860. The traditional knowledge system is immensely important in the context of plant resource conservation, utilization, and environmental management. The objectives of this study, therefore, were to document local knowledge on the diversity, utilization and sustainable management of indigenous fruit yielding species in the South Aceh region of Indonesia. This research was based on extensive field surveys, plant collection, and interviews with the local people, and a total of 56 indigenous edible fruit species belonging to 24 families were identified. Furthermore, the recognized varieties have numerous applications and serve multiple use categories. For example, they have been adopted as food (56 species), by medicine (16 species), construction materials (14 species), furniture (13 species) and firewood (12 species). These indigenous edible fruits are mostly used in the treatment of cough, stomach ache, diarrhea, fever, and digestive problems, and the following species are commonly traded in traditional markets Durio zibethinus, Garcinia mangostana, Mangifera indica, Mangifera foetida, Mangifera odorata, Baccaurea macrophylla, and Baccaurea lanceolata. The agricultural expansion activities in South Aceh region are assumed to present significant threats to the sustainability of indigenous edible fruit species. Conservation of indigenous fruit plants can be performed through the preservation of traditional knowledge and the promotion and domestication of indigenous fruit plant species.

“…In the ethnobotanical literature, ecosystem services such as nutritional and medicinal use of fruits and leaves and, to some extent, the use of firewood and construction materials, are emphasized (see e.g. Belem et al, 1996;Lykke et al, 2004;Zizka et al, 2015). However, this literature does not give a spatially explicit understanding of where in the landscape they are harvested, making it difficult to attribute these services to specific land units.…”

Assessment of ecosystem services and benefits in village landscapes – A case study from Burkina Faso

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

a b s t r a c tMost methods to assess ecosystem services have been developed on large scales and depend on secondary data. Such data is scarce in rural areas with widespread poverty. Nevertheless, the population in these areas strongly depends on local ecosystem services for their livelihoods. These regions are in focus for substantial landscape investments that aim to alleviate poverty, but current methods fail to capture the vast range of ecosystem services supporting livelihoods, and can therefore not properly assess potential trade-offs and synergies among services that might arise from the interventions. We present a new method for classifying village landscapes into social-ecological patches (landscape units corresponding to local landscape perceptions), and for assessing provisioning ecosystem services and benefits to livelihoods from these patches. We apply the method, which include a range of participatory activities and satellite image analysis, in six villages across two regions in Burkina Faso. The results show significant and diverse contributions to livelihoods from six out of seven social-ecological patches. The results also show how provisioning ecosystem services, primarily used for subsistence, become more important sources of income during years when crops fail. The method is useful in many data poor regions, and the patch-approach allows for extrapolation across larger spatial scales with similar socialecological systems.

“…Si cela ne semble pas être le cas des connaissances médicinales des Peulh sur C. schweinfurthii, nos résultats révèlent que les Peulh détiennent plus de connaissances sur l'utilisation de l'espèce comme fourrage que les Turka et les autres groupes ethniques. La particularité dans l'utilisation de cette catégorie affiliée aux Peulh se justifie par le fait qu'ils sont des éleveurs, et sont à ce titre, les mieux outillés dans l'alimentation du bétail (Belem et al 1996). Ayant migré dans la région pour la recherche de zones de pâturage, les Peulh se sont familiarisés avec la nature à travers l'alimentation de leur bétail, surtout durant les périodes de manque de fourrage herbacé.…”
