Abstract
This paper is an effort to inform about the potential of medicinal plants in forest areas in the Borneo region. Given the high rate of destruction of rainforests on Borneo, literacy and conservation efforts of medicinal plants that are part of the forest ecosystem are important. This study developed BBIS, namely Borneo Biodiversity Information System. BBIS is the development of computer-based technology for managing information on Borneo's natural resource biodiversity in order to improve the knowledge management of medicinal plants. In particular, development of the Biodiversity Information System which can be used as an exploring media for exchange information society on Borneo's biodiversity. Profile biodiversity complete and well managed will be a reference in the process of monitoring the use of biological diversity, strategies, and plans related to the biodiversity of the medicinal plants on Borneo Island.
Highlights
Borneo is the third largest island in the world known as one of the two centers of world plant diversity
From the study [3] of various studies conducted in the Borneo forest area, it can be seen that this area has the potential for diverse medicinal plants
Based on the results of exploration and initial inventory conducted from various research locations spread in East Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, and South Kalimantan, medicinal plant species used by ethnic groups were recorded in Kalimantan
Summary
Borneo is the third largest island in the world known as one of the two centers of world plant diversity. The Kalimantan region includes five provinces, i.e. West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan This 73% of the area of the island of Borneo) [2]. The potential of medicinal plants in the forest area in Borneo is quite diverse, some of which have been utilized by the community around the area as well as untapped. From the study [3] of various studies conducted in the Borneo forest area, it can be seen that this area has the potential for diverse medicinal plants. The potential recorded at this time has not shown the potential of Borneo medicinal plants as a whole, but can describe the potential of medicinal plants in a variety of certain forest areas. The potential of this medicinal plant is spread in various forest areas both conservation areas such as national parks, research forest areas, protected forests and other forest areas
