Question from Ms. Putri Giriyanti 2020.07.13 01:42:29 Dear Ms Pisca Hana Marsenda I really respect about your research. I was wondering about the local wisdom of Orang Rimba. Did they get all the plants in their area? What is the various level of biodiversity that you found in that area? And do you have some information about how they first threats or how they know that the plants can be used to be food or traditional medicine? Thank you,

Reply from Ms. Pisca Hana Marsenda 2020.07.15 09:11:28 Thank you for your question Ms. Putri. The Twelve Hills of National Park has wide 60500 ha, so all the plants are there. There live 900 orang Rimba. In the national park has high biodiversity especially plants. The highest level of biodiversity is species diversity. Most of Orang Rimba live in the forest an their life very dependent on biodiversity there. They knew the use of plants because they tried to cultivate them one by one step by step. After they know about the benefit of the plants well. They teach and give information to the others. For your information, the goverments have given to some houses of Orang Rimba^s family. Some of them have choosen to stay in the forest. Thank you.
