Abstract

We aimed to highlight the current condition and the potential of 33 kabuyutan in Ciomas Village, Indonesia. The ethnobotanical approaches were used to identify plant species. Through the free listing method, about 332 plant species were reported and a third four of them existed in kabuyutan. The findings strengthened the potential of kabuyutan to be local biodiversity hotspots which would support the global conservation strategy. However, more than half of species were exotic. We suggested that dissemination of knowledge is essential to nourish people's awareness in dealing with locality and environmental conservation by encouraging and strengthening the custodian's role.
