Pengenalan Biodiversitas Melalui Kreativitas Mahasiswa KKN: Implementasi Papan Nama Tanaman Sebagai Media Edukasi Lingkungan di Kelurahan Condongcatur

Introduction

Pengenalan biodiversitas melalui kreativitas mahasiswa kkn: implementasi papan nama tanaman sebagai media edukasi lingkungan di kelurahan condongcatur. Mahasiswa KKN meningkatkan pemahaman biodiversitas tanaman lokal di Condongcatur lewat papan nama edukasi. Tingkatkan kesadaran lingkungan dan apresiasi keanekaragaman hayati.

Abstract

Biodiversitas adalah keragaman diantara makhluk hidup, dari berbagai sumber termasuk daratan, pesisir, lautan dan ekosistem perairan lainnya serta kompleksitas ekologis dimana mereka merupakan bagiannya. Ketidakpahaman masyarakat tentang keberagaman hayati merupakan masalah sentral yang perlu diatasi. Kurangnya informasi tentang tanaman lokal dan fungsinya dalam ekosistem dapat menyebabkan kurangnya apresiasi terhadap keanekaragaman hayati dan dampak negatif terhadap keseimbangan lingkungan. Maka dari itu, perlu adanya upaya yang kreatif dan edukatif untuk membangkitkan minat dan kepedulian terhadap biodiversitas. Tujuan utama kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat Kelurahan Condongcatur tentang biodiversitas tanaman lokal melalui implementasi papan nama tanaman. Manfaatnya melibatkan peningkatan kesadaran lingkungan, peningkatan pemahaman terhadap keberagaman hayati, dan mendorong partisipasi masyarakat dalam pelestarian tanaman lokal. Sehingga dengan adanya kegiatan ini, dapat membantu Masyarakat dalam memahami lebih dalam terkait suatu tanaman melalui manfaat yang dihasilkan dan nama latinnya. Peran mahasiswa Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) Teknik industri dalam melibatkan kreativitasnya untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap biodiversitas menjadi esensial. Implementasi papan nama tanaman dianggap sebagai inovasi yang dapat membantu menciptakan hubungan yang lebih erat antara masyarakat dan lingkungan lokal mereka. Selain itu, papan nama disini nantinya akan berfungsi sebagai pengenal tanaman dan edukasi yang lebih terkait suatu tanaman tersebut.

Review

The submitted work, "Pengenalan Biodiversitas Melalui Kreativitas Mahasiswa KKN: Implementasi Papan Nama Tanaman Sebagai Media Edukasi Lingkungan di Kelurahan Condongcatur," addresses a highly relevant and pressing issue: the lack of community understanding regarding local biodiversity. The abstract clearly articulates the problem of insufficient information leading to a lack of appreciation for local flora and its ecological role, which can negatively impact environmental balance. The proposed solution, involving the creative input of Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) students from Industrial Engineering to implement plant name boards as an environmental education medium, is a commendable and practical initiative. The project's primary objective—to enhance community knowledge in Condongcatur about local plant biodiversity—is well-defined and aligns perfectly with the broader goal of fostering environmental awareness and participation in conservation efforts. While the core idea of using plant name boards as an educational tool is sound and innovative, the abstract could benefit from further elaboration on certain methodological specifics. It mentions the "creativity of Industrial Engineering KKN students" as essential, but the exact nature of this creativity in the context of biodiversity education and board implementation (e.g., innovative design, durable material selection, strategic placement, or the inclusion of interactive elements) could be more explicitly detailed. Furthermore, beyond "benefits" and "Latin names," it would be valuable to understand what specific educational content these boards will convey, such as ecological function, traditional uses, conservation status, or phenology. Clarifying how the community's understanding and participation will be measured or observed post-implementation would also strengthen the proposed study's rigor. Overall, this project holds significant promise for increasing local environmental literacy and fostering a deeper connection between the community and their immediate natural surroundings. The simple yet effective approach of using educational signage is a practical way to disseminate information and stimulate curiosity. To further enhance the impact and potential generalizability of this initiative, future work or a more detailed proposal could consider outlining strategies for long-term maintenance of the boards, methods for assessing the sustained engagement and knowledge retention within the community, and the potential for replication in other areas. This initiative is a valuable step towards community-based conservation and environmental education, and its clear objectives and local focus make it a strong contribution to bridging the knowledge gap regarding biodiversity.
