ArticleCapacity building model for developing bamboo industry in Indonesia: A shared learning platform for multi-stakeholder partnerships
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Bamboo in Indonesia is one of the non-timber forest products (NTFPs) that has not yet been used and developed effectively. Its utilization still limited within traditional uses in the form of home industries or small scale enterprises. In the other hand the evidences from other countries show that modern methods to utilize bamboo at the industrial scale have improved its values and raise benefits in rural communities. This study in 2014 to 2017 employed approaches of participatory action research and multi-stakeholder analysis to 1) improve the management of bamboo for sustainable uses and for the benefits of rural communities; and 2) enhance stakeholders’ capacity in developing the bamboo industry in Indonesia. The participatory actions research were conducted with the community groups in Bangli and Ngada Regency (Bali and East Nusa Tenggara Province, respectively) by developing models on bamboo utilization started at rural level. Stakeholder analysis and several consultative meetings to address the key problems were conducted at Regencys, regencies and provincial levels; and at the national level to promote the national policy on sustainable bamboo utilization. This program campaign namely “a thousand bamboo villages” became the platform for community-based bamboo industries in Indonesia. These collaborative actions were beneficial for local communities and have unified multi stakeholders’ vision to build a sustainable bamboo industry. This study provides lessons learnt of: (i) the process on how to establish an integrated model of community-based bamboo industry; (ii) the strategy to build a collaborative network on “a thousand bamboo villages” movement; (iii) the community-based approach and stakeholder capacity building for bamboo utilization and people, public, and private partnership of the bamboo industry in Indonesia.

ArticleThe role of bamboo forest in balancing and sustaining the development of local livelihood and human well-being in rural areas of Vietnam
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The balanced maintenance between forest development, human health, and well-being is the key to sustainable forest landscape management. My research aims to find out the current status of that relationship in Muong Hinh community (North-Central Vietnam) with the focus on lung bamboo forest - the vital natural resource of local communities. Lung bamboo (Bambusa longissima sp.nov) is an endemic species of Vietnam and is considered a strategic species for development in rural areas. However, due to the over-exploitation and unplanned management, the lung bamboo forests have been remarkably degraded and are even at risk of being depleted. Muong Hinh, currently, has 712 ha of lung bamboo forests and the payment from lung bamboo harvesting is the most important income for the local dwellers. However, it does not meet the local needs due to the low price and low added value. Besides, after years of applying wrong harvesting techniques with high harvesting intensity, local people are losing their forest both in terms of the forest area and quality. There is also a lack of knowledge on sustainable bamboo forest management within the community. Based on the current situation, some recommendations are given on essential techniques for sustainably managing and using bamboo forests. Of which, the proper harvesting intensity and the rotation of exploiting areas are the most critical issues. If the local people are going to apply the suggestions, they probably earn about 440 US$/ha/year from their lung bamboo forest (three times higher than their current income), and it could be increased up to 1,200 US$/ha/year shortly. Moreover, there is also a need to have alternative incomes for stable livelihood development. Several options are developing post-harvesting activities or possessing facilities, setting up a lung bamboo value chain, and reasonable collecting of other potential forest products such as timber or NTFPs.

ArticleNyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum)-based agroforestry for landscape restoration and rural livelihoods in Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.This paper discusses how the adoption of nyamplung-based agroforestry can support landscape restoration and livelihood improvement goals through small- and medium-scale enterprises. First, we identify the amount of degraded land across different provinces in Indonesia, and target restoration sites regulated by the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry under the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Second, we describe how previous and current development activities have caused landscape degradation and affected the well-being and livelihoods of people in and around these landscapes. We also discuss how nyamplung-based livelihood options through climate smart agroforestry models cultivating nyamplung with maize, rice, peanut and honey in Central Java, or nyamplung-based paludiculture in South Sumatra could be alternative options for rehabilitating various types of degraded land and recreating environmental and social resilience. Results demonstrate that a wide range of agroforestry models might be suitable in various agro-ecological and socio-economic zones on different islands in Indonesia. Finally, by identifying current constraints and revealing potential opportunities, this paper provides recommendations for landowners, policy makers and researchers about the potential of applying nyamplung-based agroforestry models in Indonesia.
