Abstract:
The Tengger tribe community has local knowledge of using forest products, especially non-timber ones. The use of non-timber forest products from the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS) area has various uses, including food, medicine, and traditional rituals. The local knowledge of the Tengger tribe community in the use of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) can be used as a reference in determining the types of non-timber forest products that can be developed in conservation partnership programs in the context of community empowerment. This research aims to analyze the types of non-timber forest products that can be implemented in conservation partnership programs in the context of community empowerment. The research was conducted in July – September 2023, in 3 (three) villages located in 2 (two) districts, namely Ngadas village (Enclave), Poncokusumo District, Malang Regency, as well as Ranupani (Enclave) and Argosari villages (TNBTS buffer villages), Senduro District, Lumajang Regency.. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques, namely semi-structured interviews, documentation studies, and observations. Data analysis in this research uses Miles and Huberman analysis. The technique used to select informants was purposive sampling. Snowball sampling was used to select informants. To find out the types of non-timber forest products that are utilized and can be implemented in conservation partnerships based on local knowledge of the Tengger tribe community, informants were used, namely traditional community leaders and ordinary people in the villages of Ngadas about 10 people, Ranupani about 10 people and Argosari about 15 people.
Based on the research results, information was obtained that the types of non-timber forest products that are utilized and can be implemented in conservation partnerships are based on local knowledge of the Tengger tribe community. They consisted of the families Asteraceae (3 species), Fabaceae (1 species), Schizophyllum (1 species), Auriculariaceae (1 species), Apiaceae (2 species), Apocynaceae (1 species), Melastomataceae (1 species), Acoraceae (1 species), Lauraceae (1 species) and Fabaceae (1 species), with various uses, including for food, medicine and for traditional ritual purposes.
