Abstract
Abstract: Plants as forest food sources have potential comparative advantages as alternative resources. The existence of the Production KPH Unit VIII Muntai Palas as a management unit can improve the quality of forest management in South Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The purpose of this research was to take an inventory, analyze the utilization and formulate a conservation village development strategy. This research is explorative with the method of determining four village locations (Kepoh, Pasir Putih, Batu Betumpang, and Bencah) and selecting informants by purposive sampling. The results of the study found 33 families, 54 genera, 73 species with a total of 1858 individuals consisting of 1.071 seedlings, 385 saplings, 173 poles and 226 trees. The highest value of species diversity in the medium category was found in Kepoh village, while the species with the highest value of importance (LUVI) differed in each observation village. Kepoh was owned by Sandoricum koetjape Village (LUVI 11.14), Pasir Putih village was mostly inhabitated by Mangifera odorata (kuweni) with a LUVI value of 9.68, Batu Betumpang Village was mostly covered by Nephelium lappaceum (rambutan) (LUVI 11.20) and Bencah village (LUVI 10.84 ) belongs to Garcinia nigrolineata (kandis). The Strength-Opportunity (SO) strategy was applied in the development of sustainable forest conservation villages with the support of the diversity of forest food sources and regional policies as well as opportunities for the development of tourism forests, health forests, educational forests, natural laboratories and investment in natural resources and the environment to realize a sovereign forest conservation village. independent food.

Highlights
Utilization and preservation of forest food source plants cannot be separated from the activities of the community around the area, where people's lives are very dependent on the forest, local wisdom appears which is contained in community ethnobotany in the use and preservation of forests
Kepoh was owned by Sandoricum koetjape Village (LUVI 11.14), Pasir Putih village was mostly inhabitated by Mangifera odorata with a Local User's Value Index (LUVI) value of 9.68, Batu Betumpang Village was mostly covered by Nephelium lappaceum (LUVI 11.20) and Bencah village (LUVI 10.84) belongs to Garcinia nigrolineata
The wealth of forest biodiversity in the form of forest food plants found in the research area both in quality and quantity is the capital for the development of the forestry sector
Summary
Utilization and preservation of forest food source plants cannot be separated from the activities of the community around the area, where people's lives are very dependent on the forest, local wisdom appears which is contained in community ethnobotany in the use and preservation of forests. The establishment of KPHP Unit VIII Muntai Palas in South Bangka Regency based on the decision of the Minister of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia number: SK.797/MENHUT-II/2009 concerning the determination of the area for the protected forest management unit (KPHL) and the production forest management unit (KPHP) of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. They have duties and functions, among others, to organize forest management and open investment opportunities to support forest management objectives. The usefulness of plants as food sources is generally known by people who are old because along with the development of science and technology, many people have forgotten the benefits of forests as biological resources
