Before the availability of a vaccine, Indonesian population relied on traditional medicines to prevent COVID-19. Any species used by indigenous people could lead to further investigations in modern pharmacology, to preserve ancient knowledge, and to plan for plants’ conservation. The study aimed to discover and record species, methods of preparation, route of administration, and motivation in using medicinal plants by the Indonesian population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants of survey were selected from the people who live in Java and Bali for responding to an online structured questionnaire. Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC) was employed in the quantitative analysis of the collected data. The pharmacological relevance of the five plants with the highest RFC was further reviewed. The results showed that respondents used 59 plants from 28 families. Five species with the highest RFC were Curcuma longa (0.707), Zingiber officinale (0.674), Cymbopogon citratus (0.269), Kaempferia galanga (0.174), and Curcuma zanthorrhiza (0.165). Most plants were prepared by boiling (77.97%) and administered orally as a single ingredient or mixed with other herbals. Respondents believed that the plants were beneficial as immune-booster (71.26%), maintain good health (24.85%) and stamina (12.28%), and prevent viral infection, including COVID-19 (5.39%). The most commonly used plants might be scientifically based to boost immunity. However, their usage against COVID-19 and the medicinal value of herbal mixtures should be further investigated.
在获得疫苗之前，印度尼西亚人口依靠传统药物来预防COVID-19。土著居民使用的任何物种都可能导致现代药理学的进一步研究，保存古代知识，并为植物保护制定计划。该研究旨在发现和记录2019冠状病毒病大流行期间印度尼西亚人口使用药用植物的物种、制备方法、给药途径和动机。调查的参与者是从爪哇和巴厘岛的居民中挑选出来的，让他们回答一份在线结构化问卷。采用引文相对频次(Relative Frequency of Citation, RFC)对收集到的数据进行定量分析。进一步综述了RFC最高的5种植物的药理意义。结果显示，受访者使用了28科的59种植物。RFC最高的5种分别是姜黄(0.707)、黄姜(0.674)、香茅(0.269)、高兰山柰(0.174)和花椒(0.165)。绝大多数采用水煮法制备(77.97%)，单药口服或与其他草药混用。受访者认为这些植物具有增强免疫力(71.26%)、保持健康(24.85%)和耐力(12.28%)、预防包括COVID-19在内的病毒感染(5.39%)的功效。最常用的植物可能是有科学依据的，可以提高免疫力。然而，它们对COVID-19的使用以及中草药混合物的药用价值有待进一步研究。

Three colored langur (Presbytis chrysomelas ssp cruciger Thomas, 1892) is a primate that has been recognized as a critically endangered species in accordance with the International Union for Conservation of Nature, however still not protected and lacks substantial information about the bio-ecology of their natural habitat. The habitat plays a determining factor not only in space utilization but also the daily activities of the three colored langurs (P c cruciger). The aim of this preliminary study is to collect information regarding their habitat characteristic, feed species, daily activity, and canopy stratum utilization. This research was conducted between July and August of 2021 at Bukit Semujan, Lupak Mawang Resort, Danau Sentarum National Park. The method implemented was to collect the habitat characteristic by plot samples, and their daily activity data by scan sampling with consecutive recording. The study demonstrated that langur inhabited both primary as well as mixed forests (swamp, cultivation land, and secondary forest). There were 27 species as feeds of langurs and the most preferred types of feed are Gita susu (Willughbeia coriacea), Merepat (unidentified), and Karet (Hevea brasiliensis). The most preferred feed compositions consisted of leaves (50%), fruits (30%), and seeds (20%). The most frequently utilized stratum for activities was stratum C (70,49%) and B (27.87%). The highest daily activities were categorized into three parts of time, the morning was dominated by social (44,26%), the afternoon was dominated by rest (59,7 7%), and the evening was dominated by social (73,68%). The highest social activities shown by three colored langurs were agonistic (48,48%), followed by vocalization (39,39%), playing (10,61%), exploring (1,52%), and sexual (0%).
