Abstract
The Taxus Sumatrana plant has the potential to convert cancer, but the
existence of this medicinal plant is still less popular in the community. Only
some people, such as the Jambi people of Indonesia, are aware of the plant's
properties and utilize it for herbal medicine. The Indonesian government has
demonstrated its commitment to the protection of biodiversity and traditional
knowledge through progressive policies. One important milestone is the
ratification of the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair
and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (Nagoya
Protocol). This protocol creates an international framework to regulate access
and utilization of genetic resources, ensure fair benefit sharing, and
strengthen the protection of traditional knowledge. This research uses
Normative research methods by analyzing several national and international
regulations so that it is found that the Indonesian Government has protected
taxus sematrana in general but no specific regulations have been found that
regulate taxus suamatrana.
