ArticleGovernment and stakeholders engagement in the social forestry program in Indonesia supporting SDGs achievement
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Since 2015 the Government of Indonesia (GOI) has accelerated the social forestry program. Previously the total forest areas allocated for social forestry were less than 0.6 million hectares, while during 2015 to 2021 it increased more 4.0 million hectares. It was much faster than the previous social forestry program for 20 years before 2015. Why could it be achieved? Firstly, this paper would like to explain the process of the social forestry program during that time. Secondly, this paper would like to propose a new approach of government and other stakeholder engagement for supporting the social forestry programs. Digital based-government services are needed because when entering the industrial revolution 4.0 the forestry sector in Indonesia encounters new tradition of the communities living around forest areas, as well as in larger society. By implementing a new approach, the social forestry program in Indonesia would be enhancing and strengthening the community welfare and sustainable forest, and SDGs as well.

ArticleScientific interventions for sustainable mountain development: A case study with Polygonatum verticillatum Linn.
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Polygonatum verticillatum Linn. is a well-documented rejuvenating herb, and presently reported as endangered. Under a scientific strategy for sustainable use to serve as exemplary, a gene bank of 150 accessions assembled from Western Himalayas (2200 to 3600 m amsl), without causing genetic erosion, was established at Forest Research Institute High Altitude Herbal Garden, Chakarata, Uttarakhand at 2600 m amsl. The accessions were analysed for morphological traits, growth parameters and phytochemical profiles to screen promising genotypes. The diversity studies based on morphological and chemical markers revealed a high level of diversity among the sampled populations. Phytochemical analysis discovered varying quantities of flavonoids, saponins, quinones, phenols, cardiac glycosides, terpenoids, steroids and fatty acids amongst the genotypes. The GC-MS profiling divulged γ-sitosterol (antidiabetic), diosgenin (progesterone precursor, neurological disorder), stigmasterol, β-sitosterol (Covid-19) and ethyl and methyl linoleate. Significant correlations were obtained among morphological parameters. However, none of the morphological traits could be significantly correlated with presence or amount of any biochemical obtained in the phytochemical analysis. The field expedition exposed serious illegal trading of this herb through local community in pretext of providing employment but with irrationally low wages leading to rampant exploitation. The psychotherapy depicted lack of proper knowledge in local communities as well as absence of proper value chains and policies for sustainable use of forest resources. Indian mountains and forests are treasure house to livelihood, yet unemployment forces migration of locals, which further enhanced under Covid-19 Pandemic. Availability of authentic source of bio- diverse and genetically promising stocks can play a complementary role in encouraging locals towards farming of medicinal plants, thereby achieving greater sustainability.

DocumentA study on the ecotourism cooperation using the forest cultural heritage in South and North Korea - Focusing on the Geumgangsan Yusan-gi (Geumgang mountain travels)
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Forest restoration and ecological protection in North Korea require a variety of approaches.
This research focuses on the Geumgangsan Yusan-gi, a shared forest cultural heritage between the two Koreas, to find ways to collaborate with ecotourism.
Is ecotourism a novel approach to Inter-Korean forest cooperation?
What are the advantages and prospects of working together on ecotourism projects centered on the Geumgangsan Yusan-gi?
To achieve the study's goal, North Korean literature data were reviewed and analyzed, and value models for ecotourism cooperation were investigated using content analysis of the Geumgangsan Yusan-gi.
Inter-Korean forest cooperation has primarily focused on planting and management to prevent forest devastation in North Korea.
Forest cooperation needs to develop into a scalable project that connects peace and tourism.
Ecotourism has the potential to be a new model for inter-Korean forest cooperation.
First, ecotourism cooperation pursues reciprocity.
Second, ecotourism is a sustainable project different from one-time support.
Third, ecotourism can be backed by the international community and promoted readily in the face of North Korean sanctions.
Fourth, the ecotourism cooperation project is in line with the Kim Jong-un administration's current tourism policy.
Fifth, the inter-Korean collaboration project based on the two Koreas' shared forest cultural legacy is a unique initiative rooted in Korea's history and tradition.
The Geumgangsan Yusan-gi can promote ecotourism cooperation, such as joint inter-Korean investigation and program development and operation.
To become a reality rather than a pipe dream, this proposal must overcome some obstacles, including the US and international community sanctions against North Korea.
Civil society organizations, such as forests and environmental organizations, play an important role in peace initiatives such as ecotourism and forest cooperation.
