ArticleCommunity-based investment to address deforestation and forest degradation in West Kalimantan, Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.West Kalimantan is the province with high forest cover but contributing high emission from high deforestation and forest degradation. FIP-1 project targets in reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). Achievement on reducing emission will contribute the Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The project has two themes, forest management intervention and community investment to increase their income. A log-frame and theory of change is applied to measure the impacts. Baseline data was setup through data collection and analysis. Stakeholder analysis was carried out to design institution arrangement and capacity building program. Economic benefit was measured at local community. Rate of deforestation and degradation was measured using a GIS tool. During the period of 2018-2020, total project investment is US $6.5 million. FIP-1 project has invested a total amount of USD 4.1 million for the livelihood improvement program, and USD 2.4 million for the sustainable forest management. Total emission reduction during the period of 2018-2020 is 1.02 TCO2-e. FMU (Forest Management Unit) is the important party in this achievement and community involvement is a key success in this investment. Community income has increased by 50% in June 2021 (compare to the baseline in 2016). A total 63% investment has been allocated for livelihood improvement program, while 36% of the investment was allocated for forest management intervention. From this investment, a total of 1.02 TCO2e of emission has been reduced. An effective REDD+ program will require involvement from FMU and community as active players.

ArticleImpact of capacity building in leveraging community skills and livelihoods: lessons learned from social forestry in Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Indonesia encounters several challenges in forest management due to the high communities’ demand for forest resources, including the need for agricultural land within state-owned forest areas. Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) is a strategy that emphasizes on the importance of community’s involvement in forest conservation. CBFM planning has an important role in the implementation of effective and sustainable forest management through a participatory approach involving all parties in Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling. This paper aims to provide information on impact of capacity building in leveraging community skill and livehood in three schemes of Social Forestry (SF) in Indonesia, namely Paru Village Forest (VF)–West Sumatra, Cempaka Forestry Partnership (FP)–Lampung, and Tuar Tana Community Forestry (CF)–East Nusa Tenggara, in collaboration between Forestry and Environment Research, Development and Innovation Agency with the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO). The research was conducted through structured interviews, FGDs and field observations by an analysis unit while the informations obtained were analyzed through descriptively qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed that the provided assistances and capacity building in three SF schemes have increased the active participation of group members in the preparation of technical plans and implementation of economic value species planting and processing of non-timber forest products (NTFPs).Other benefits are the reduced land boundary conflicts, an increase in the frequency of routine group meetings, an increase in the number of members who are able to process NTFPs into semi-finished or finished goods. This condition shows that the provided assistance is able to increase the capacity of farmers so as to change the perceptions and attitudes of group members and encourage them to actively participate in forest management in three SF area.

ArticleReducing risks from forest fire and disasters through a community-based forest fire brigade (MPA), a case study in Danau Sentarum National Park
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The TNBKDS is an exotic ecosystem and has designated as one of the world biospheres reserves. The Park is also inhabited by around 6,000 people. Ecotourism, biodiversity, and cultural value attracts many domestic and international tourists. However, the park has high-risk from forest fire and flooding. During 2014-2019, forest fire in the park is recorded at the average of 206.6 Ha. The lake has also experienced in regular flooding. Reducing these risks should involve community by strengthening their capacity to protect their home. Consultations and SWOT analysis was used to map community capacity and to rank the threat. Opportunities on livelihood improvement is also identified to develop approach and strategy in reducing risks and improving their income. A GIS tool was used to monitor forest fire. A total of 10 MPA were established in 10 villages, involving 300 peoples (300 households). From series of consultations, 100% agreed that community need to involve in combating forest fire and reducing the damage from flooding. FIP-1 provides forest fire equipment, as well as series of training on forest fire, forest monitoring using GPS, alternative income activities such as bee keeping, fish processing, and women empowerment. Establishment of MPA and implementation of forest patrol for the period of 2018-Jun 2021 has directly protected a forest area from forest fire of 11,265 ha and non-forest area of 82,481 ha. Community participation is the key success of reducing risks from forest fire. Training program is also essential to support community capacity in reducing hotspots and to provide alternative income for their sustainable live within the national park.
