    Sago (Metroxylon spp.), a traditional staple food that that naturally grow in Papuan forests, plays a vital role for the food security of local inhabitants and is equally important in food and non-food industries. Changes in forest cover to other land uses might lead to shifts in the sago ecosystem, which could also affect sago production and nutrients. Currently, there is a lack of studies correlating vegetation changes and nutrient profiles. This research paper aims to explore the vegetation area changes and their potential relationship to the sago forest ecosystem and nutrient profiles of sago.NDVI information was collected from Mappi and Merauke Regency, Papua

    Keywords: NDVI, remote sensing, macronutrient, micronutrient, sago habitat, Sago
