Changes in the growing environment (habitat), including the habitat of wild nutmeg (Myristica spp.) due to deforestation, land degradation due to mining, erosion of soil fertility, reduced density of flora, fauna, and microorganisms can increase the risk of climate change. The role of the wild nutmeg plant environment is that its canopy can absorb CO2 from the air, and its roots effectively store water and prevent erosion so that it can mitigate climate change. Vegetation analysis is used as an approach to climate change mitigation through managing wild nutmeg habitat biodiversity as a single function of the Halmahera forest against the impacts of climate change. The results of vegetation studies on the natural habitat of wild nutmeg have shown that the composition and structure of the natural habitat vegetation of wild nutmeg in the Halmahera forest have been disturbed although still in the moderate category. The composition and structure of the natural habitat vegetation of wild nutmeg (Myristica spp.) in the Halmahera forest, North Maluku with abundant diversity and high species richness can play a role in mitigating climate change as long as the biodiversity of vegetation in this area is maintained stable. Further studies based on this research can provide deeper insight into wild nutmeg conservation strategies and their role in mitigating climate change.
