ArticleReorientation in management and utilization of non-timber forest products commodity based on the local knowledge under new forest management unit in Indonesian New Guinea

No results found.Non-timber Forest Products have played the important roles to the entire livelihoods of the indigenous community living inside and outside the forest areas. These non-wood products are being ignored because of several reasons ranging from inadequate of formal regulations, which are mostly focused on timber harvesting,lack of data on their distributions in nature, less capital investment to their diversities is enormous made them difficult to put in the nomination focus. It seems that these forest product commodities are being neglected despite of their irreplaceable contribution of local and indigenous community in fulfilling their daily foods, energy, medicinal plants, protein, and other essential substances. Utilization of non-timber forest products in Indonesian New Guinea could be divided into seven classifications such as a) staple foods for carbohydrates, vitamin, mineral, protein and lipid, b) energy for daily cooking and warming traditional house or huts, c) material for traditional constructions of sea or river transportation, housing wall and roofing, d) sources of medicinal plants and herbs from nature, e) raw material for traditional handcraft (dyeing, natural fibres, sculpture), f) an extra income and informal works by direct selling their harvested non-timber commodities when their necessities are fulfilled, g) customary land right that could not be sold, transferred or replaced as natural forest providing shelter for ancestors, inspirations, magic, and others. Utilization of non-timber forest products have to be focused with local products already existed, and intervention could be focused for value added purposes such as branding, labeling, packaging, standardization, and marketing chain implemented as the new directions to improve direct contributions to local and indigenous community.

ArticleForest natural resource management and non-timber forest products as nature-based solutions for climate adaptation, ecosystem restoration and poverty alleviation in Mali– a case study
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.Climate change, nature loss and poverty are major intertwined crises that mutually reinforce each other. This is particularly true for smallholder farmers in Africa’s drylands: they are the hardest hit by the climate crisis, which contributes to the degradation of the land upon which their livelihoods depend. Further pushed into poverty, rural people are forced to resort to unsustainable land practices for survival, feeding the cycle of environmental degradation and climate change. Intertwined crises need integrated approaches, such as nature-based solutions (NbS) that protect natural ecosystems and address societal challenges. Tree Aid works in Africa’s drylands to unlock the potential of trees to tackle poverty and improve the environment. Here, we present a quantitative NbS case study looking at the impacts of the adoption of forest natural resource management (NRM) and increased production of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) among smallholder farmers in the Segou region in Mali between July 2017 and July 2020. This project was a partnership between Tree Aid, the UK funded Darwin Initiative and local partner Sahel Eco.Its socioeconomic impact was evaluated with focus group discussions, baseline and endline assessments using the Rural Household Multi-Indicator Survey (RHoMIS) (https://www.rhomis.org/). Ecosystem restoration impacts were assessed by ecological surveys and data from permanent monitoring plots.We demonstrate that NRM and NTFPs delivered positive outcomes for people (reduction of project population living below the poverty line), biodiversity (+20,404ha of land under improved management), and climate (improved climate resilience through better access to natural resources). This evidences the viability of high-quality NbS in Africa’s drylands and calls for greater long-term restoration investment and deployment in the region informed by and delivered through local communities and organisations.

ArticleSocial inclusion and utilization of non-timber forest products species variation in ecosystem restoration
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.In the era of ecosystem restoration, many parties have been participating in the ecosystem restoration in Indonesia. Many restoration activities aim to recreate functional ecosystem of the landscape. In this case, utilization of species variation that produce non-timber forest products (NTFP) can be considered, such as fruit trees, honey bee, stingless bee, mulberry and others. The study of restoration on peatland and lowland ecosystem have been conducted in two areas of Indonesia, namely Riau and South Sulawesi provinces. The restoration was conducted in the research scale in collaboration with villagers. In Kepau Jaya village, apiculture (honey bee and stingless bee) has been promoting to the villagers, while in Donri-donri village, sericulture (cultivation of mulberry and silk worm) has been promoting. Non timber forest products provide multi benefit for the environment and villagers. Social inclusion is a precondition in the success of ecosystem resoration.
