"Siberut Island, which is one of the largest islands of the Mentawai Islands, West Sumatra has biodiversity with high endemicity levels. The Mentawai community is very dependent on these local biological resources in daily life such as consumption, medicines and culture. However, documentation regarding the use of biodiversity is still small so that it is feared that the information will be lost as local wisdom by modernization will be lost. The Community Service Team from Bandung Technology Institutes chaired by Dr. Dian Rosleine recording the use of local biological resources by the Mentawai community as an effort to protect the wealth of local knowledge. During the data collection, the team consisting of Lecturers of the School of Biological Sciences and Technology (SITH ITB), Aditya Dimas Pramudya, M. Si; Four biology study program students (Mutia Salsabiyla, Robi Dandi, Maha Yudha Samawi, and Hantoro Ilham Mahendra) and Dr. Nuranas from Andalas University succeeded in dicuing as many as 163 plant species used for consumption, treatment, and cultural activities by Sikerei (shamans); 47 species of birds; And map the distribution of four Mentawai endemic monkeys, namely: Bilou (Hylobates Klosii), Joja (Presbytis Potenziani), SIMAKOBU (Simias Concolor), and Bokkoi (Macaca Siberu). This biodiversity information is distributed to elementary schools (SD), junior high schools (SMP), State Vocational High Schools (SMKN), and Senior High Schools (SMA) in the South Siberut area and Matotonan Village in Bnetuk Poster. In addition, the ITB community service team disseminated this information to students at SMA N 1 Siberut Selatan with the hope of the younger generation on Siberut Island aware of the wealth of biodiversity that arose a desire to protect it."
