Synopsis

Bali Island has a vast extent of vegetation, and the Balinese have good use of this in cultural, religious, and daily access aspects. This book uncovers the study of vegetation in Bali, extending from the seaside to the mountains. Moreover, in the ethnobotanical aspect, this book presents the result of a study on how Balinese people utilize the biodiversity bestowed on them. The first part of this book will present the research on Bali's vegetation status. After we comprehend the diversity of Bali's natural vegetation, the second part of this book shows a comprehensive directory about the use of plants among Balinese, including which part of the plants is used. We hope that this book will be a contribution to the knowledge of Bali biodiversity’s status and thus become a reference for Bali’s native vegetation. Furthermore, we hope that book will be a data source on Balinese local wisdom of biodiversity utilization.

Kuswata Kartawinata, Field Museum of Natural History

Kuswata Kartawinata is currently a Research Associate at the Integrative Research Center, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, USA, primarily working on tropical forest ecology and taxonomy of Indonesian plants (1992–present). He was Director of the Herbarium Bogoriense, Lembaga Biologi Nasional (National Institue of Biology), Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) in Bogor (1978–1984). He joined Herbarium Bogoriense in 1959 and has experienced more than 50 years studying plant ecology and taxonomy. He also held several positions, including Tropical Forest Biology Program Manager at the SEAMEO-BIOTROP (Regional Center for Tropical Biology) in Bogor (1972–1975); Program Specialist in Ecological Sciences at UNESCO-ROSTSEA (Regional Office for Science and Technology for Southeast Asia) in Jakarta to manage the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) program, including conservation of biodiversity for Southeast Asia and the Pacific (1984–1992); Senior Program Officer at the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in Chicago, USA, to manage the biodiversity conservation program for Asia and the Pacific (1992–1998); Director of Malinau Research Forest, Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in Bogor, to manage the program on Forest, Science and Sustainability in East Kalimantan (1998–2001).
