Objective:
1. To determine the Medicinal Value Plants Utilised by The Indigenous Community of Suku Semaq Beri
Tribe During Pregnancy, Childbirth and Post-natal Care in Sungai Berua and Sungai Pergam,
Terengganu.
2. To collect the samples of herbs, shrubs and trees that have been using by the indigenous community
of Semaq Beri tribe during pregnancy, childbirth and post-natal care.
3. To preserve the specimens of collected plant parts as herbarium.
Timetable:
This study will be started in January 2025. The first month will be the time for preparation of documents and materials for sampling. Field trips for data collection of the medicinal value plant list using in-depth interviews and observation methods will be started in February, beginning at Kampung Sungai Berua, Kuala Berang and continuing at Kampung Sungai Pergam, Kemaman in April. Analysis of the data collected will be conducted in May. After that, the samples of herbs, shrubs and trees will be collected in June and September. During this period of collection until November, the specimen will be preserved for the purpose of herbarium. Each specimen will be continuously checked until it is stored. The final report will be prepared starting from November and submission will be done in December upon completion.
Scoring Rubric
Reviewer's name:
Collection Improvement (max. 120 points)
-
Facilitating access to the physical collections by digitization (e.g., data entry, setting up database structure with an outline of the platform to be used, purchasing equipment, and imaging specimens) – up to 30 points.
-
Enhancing physical collections by improving the conservation status of specimens in the herbarium (e.g., better folders, protecting covers, mounting paper, labeling, etc.) – up to 30 points.
-
Curating specimens (e.g., updating families, species identification, identifying types) – up to 20 points.
-
Increasing our understanding of the flora or funga by making new herbarium specimens available, such as processing of backlog or collecting and mounting of new specimens from understudied sites – up to 20 points.
-
Securing collections by distribution of duplicates (or orphan collections) to other regional or international herbaria or shipping endangered collections to another herbarium – up to 20 points.
This proposal scores:
/120
Methods & Funding (max. 40 points)
-
Match between the proposed budget and methods for the aims described – up to 10 points.
-
Perceived need, the extent to which the project will benefit from IAPT funding: e.g., due to active floristic work or contribution to poorly collected sites, due to threatened conditions of collections, and for the degree of involvement of others (outreach and education). We give more points for herbaria in low- and middle-income countries – up to 20 points.
-
Sharing duplicate specimens with other herbaria – up to 10 points.
This proposal scores:
/40
Broader Impacts (max. 40 points)
-
Degree of regional importance of the collection or the taxonomic importance of the targeted collection – up to 10 points.
-
The project will yield durable benefits (specimens, digitized metadata, databases, websites) – up to 15 points.
-
The project involves outreach/mentoring and broad dissemination – up to 15 points.

Plan:
A study will be conducted to determine the sustainability of indigenous knowledge and practice by the Semaq Beri tribes at two villages, Kampung Sungai Berua, Kuala Berang and Kampung Sungai Pergam, Kemaman in Terengganu, Malaysia. These two villages will be the sampling location in this study that will be carried out over a period of one year. There will be two trips at each sampling location, one for interview and another one for sample collection, therefore, there will be four field trips during this study.
First of all, the data will be gathered through group and individual interviews with women conducted by female interviewers at two villages. This interview session will be conducted twice in the quarter half of the sampling period. The question on what the plants name are in local, which plant part being used and how is the preparation for the purpose of pregnancy, childbirth and post-natal care will be ask during the interview. The recorded information will be in the database for sample collection in the field. We will employ local guides from the indigenous community who practice the gathering of medicinal value plants in the forest surrounding their resident. Each herb, shrub and tree that is mentioned and shown to us will be recorded and samples will be taken for the purpose of species identification and herbarium collection. The voucher specimens of the identified species will be deposited in the herbarium at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, Terengganu.
