No results found.The Irular are a Dravidian ethnic group inhabiting the Indian states of Tamil Nadu and they are facing many problems with mosquitoes, which are transmitting Malaria, dengue and filariasis etc. The tribal (Irular) plants, Phyllanthus emblica and Artemisia pallens from Western Ghats, Tamilnadu, India have been used the preparation of mosquito control agents. An effective mosquito larvicide and bio-mosquito coil has been prepared by use of above herbals to establish a powerful knockdown effect against larvae and adult mosquitoes, when compared with marketed synthetic products. A Mosquito coil (0.6 cm thickness) was prepared manually and shade dried and it has been demonstrated to tribal people. In laboratory conditions, the herbal formulations were found to possess toxicity against young instars (I, II, III, and IV) dengue vector, Aedes aegypti. Field trials have been conducted at the breeding sites of mosquitoes at stagnant water bodies and insect pests at the Agricultural forest ecosystem at tribal settlement at Nilgiris and Maruthamalai Hills. Bioassays have also been conducted against non-target organisms such as copepods, Mesocyclops aspericornis, Guppy fish, Poecilia reticulata and earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae species. Herbal masks (covid-19) were prepared by infusion of herbal extract through Ayurvastra technique, and it has been demonstrated to the tribal community for their use for the mosquito repellent and as Covid facial masks. Less alcoholic and special herbal covid mask spray have also been made with herbals (neem, ginger, clove, turmeric, tulsi). The nanoformulations of herbal extract showed a potent antiplasmodial activities against CQ-resistant (CQ-r) and CQ-sensitive (CQ-s) strains of Plasmodium falciparum and Anti Dengue with moderate cytotoxicity was detected on Vero cells post-treatment. Formulations were tested for antimicrobial activities and it can be used as eco-friendly bioinsecticides and alternate herbal medicine for tribals.

ArticleKorea-Indonesia peatland restoration cooperation: Challenges and opportunities to recover degraded peatland ecosystem in Londerang peat protected forest
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Indonesia harbors around 24 million hectares of peatland or approximately 23% of the world’s tropical peat ecosystem. Some of them can be found in Londerang Peat Protected Forest that belongs to Jambi Province which has suffered from the repeated forest and land fires that were recorded both in 2015 and 2019. Several concerns have arisen from this disaster, including the degradation of the peatland ecosystem and wide-ranging socio-economic issues at the regional, national, and international level, and raising concerns from the global society. In response to these issues and to strengthen the international cooperation between the Government of the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Indonesia, both parties established joint cooperation titled “Restoration of Burnt Peatland in Jambi”. The project was carried out through several activities. To maintain the groundwater table, the hydrological function is restored by constructing canal blocking and water table monitoring system. Revegetation is carried out by planting native peatland species with a high survival rate. Ten villages were revitalized in order to improve their socio-economic welfare by encouraging active participation from local communities. In addition, a peatland education center was built to raise public awareness about the significance of the peatland ecosystem. This paper aims to identify the challenges and opportunities of the Korea-Indonesia peatland restoration project in Jambi province. Qualitative descriptive approach was used along with literature study. The result showed that active participation and effective communication between all stakeholders played a huge role in the successful implementation of international forestry cooperation.

ArticleLessons learned from the ASEAN-Korea green partnership in the restoration and sustainable management of degraded forest ecosystems for the Philippines
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.This paper presents the lessons learned from the Republic of Korea financed ASEAN-KOREA Environmental Cooperation Project (AKECOP) about two decades of experience in creative collaboration in research and human resource development in the restoration and sustainable management of degraded forest ecosystems in the ASEAN region. The Philippines and nine other participating ASEAN member states (AMS) have learned valuable lessons from the various innovative collaboration strategies employed by the Project. Participatory project management was adopted to ensure project relevance, quality, reliability and equitability and maximum impact. Research and development in-country and cross-cultural collaborative modes were tried and found to be effective strategies in enhancing research outputs and in facilitating research process learning experiences. Cross country exchange visits to locally successful restoration sites were found to be effective schemes for information exchange and technology transfer. And needs-oriented short training programs and graduate studies at the MSc and PhD level were effective strategies in building a pool of high- level expertise in forest restoration and SFM. However, the most valuable lesson from the Project's experience in creative collaboration is that SUCCESS in smaller collaborative initiatives such as AKECO P can inspire the creation of larger institutional partnerships such as Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO). As a way forward, the participating AMS have arrived at a consensus that AKECOP should continue to serve as a platform for regional collaboration in SFM considering its notable part achievements. In line with the ASEAN "GREEN VISION" and its journey towards regional integration, AKECOP is envisaged to re-align its innovative strategies to the changing needs and challenges in the sustainable management of a healthy and productive forest ecosystems in a new world order threatened by the scourge of the COVID 19 crisis.
