This document discusses research on developing commercial products from wetland plants to improve community welfare. It presents three case studies:
1. Kelakai ferns, which have the potential to be developed into food products and feed pellets due to their high mineral content and organic compounds. Research is needed to standardize kelakai flour and assess its potential for functional food and medicine.
2. Galam trees, which are commonly used for construction materials, fishing gear, firewood and charcoal. Research is exploring using galam wood vinegar as a latex clumper, plant growth accelerator, and wood preservative.
3. Lotus seeds and flowers, which a university is helping to develop into food products

How this habitat is maintained??? -→ optimize the use of these
plants into commercial products → How to doing this???
6. FACTS1. Group of ferns with
native habitat on peatlands
2. High resilience: easy to
adapt to various soil
environmental conditions,
resistant to exposure to
high light intensity.
3. High productivity: a fast
rate of growth and
reproduction (by shoots,
rhizomes and spores).
4. High mineral content: Fe (50-300
ppm), Ca (4000-6000 ppm), Mg, Zn, Al
Research Results: variability of mineral
content, antioxidant activity, anti-
glycation, anti-osteoporosis,
composition of secondary metabolites,
food development (tea, baby porridge)
5. The content of organic
compounds: Vit. C, Vit. A, folic
acid, alkaloids, flavonoids,
saponins.
6.Etnopharmacology:
Dayak Kenyah people in
overcoming anemia
7. Until present day, only

has been done ???
2. HARMFUL???
Why? - Why? There
is a solution already ???

24. Concluding Remarks
1. The potential market opportunities forsuperiorwetland-based products have not yet been widely
developed(stillonalocalscale)andstillrelyonsmallindustriesduetoinsufficient quality and quantity
of raw materials.
2. In order for the market to be broader it is necessary to consider major industrialization. For this
purpose,theguaranteeofqualityandquantityofrawmaterialsmustbefulfilled.Potential spatial data,
distribution, species, habitat, etc. and standardization of raw materials are required. It is necessary to
carry out various research conducted in collaboration between interested parties
3. Products produced must be research-based in orderto produce superiorproducts and be ready for
downstreaming to industry. Forthis purpose, community involvement should be carried out from the
beginning.
4. Developmentofcommercialproductsbasedon local products typical of peatlands needs to be done
in protecting the peat ecosystem itself by increasing peatland productivity in order to improve the
welfare of the surrounding community, maintain local wisdom, support national and international
development.
