No results found.The high challenges and expectations in the management of Indonesian Tropical Forests to achieve the community welfare, forest sustainability and sustainable development goals, demands proper management in optimizing the use of forest resources to meet the high dependence of community needs on the forest. The pressure on forests is reflected in the deforestation that occurs as an indication of the various dependencies of the community on forests to meet their daily needs. In this regard, Agroforestry is a potential silvicultural recipe as a solution to restore degraded land and forest that can gain balance ecological, economic and social benefits. This paper aims to provide information on plant growth performance and survival rate in the establishment of agroforestry plot for a total 34 hectares in three schemes of Social Forestry in Indonesia, namely Paru Village Forest (VF)–West Sumatra, Cempaka Forestry Partnership (FP)–Lampung, 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). It was conducted by planting 26 plant sp Intensive Artificial Regeneration with planting distance of 8x8 m and 5x5 m depend on plant species. The collected data covered for survival rate and height measurement. Growth Percentage was observed at ages 1, 6, 12 and 18 months after plan participation which looks high in maintaining their crops while survival rate in Tuar Tana CF was low enough only 43,2% due to the drough in this semi-arid region which affect the plant growth, eventhough the farmers have high effort in maintaining their crops.

ArticleSocial forestry programs: A responsible investment to support sustainable forest management and provide alternative income for local communities, Indonesia

No results found.Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM) has had a long experience in Indonesia to support the sustainable forest management. The CBFM approach has evolved into a new model, i.e., Social Forestry (SF). The SF drives to a more legal access from local community to utilize forest area. This SF opens opportunity for a more responsible investment by private sector to create cooperation’s with community organizations. The Forest Investment Program-1 implements CBFM through SF and has conducted activities in 17 villages, targeted a 17,000 ha into an agreement between communities with FMU and private sectors. A SWOT analysis is used to identify potential commodities in the targeted village and also to assess capacity of community organization. Interviews and focused group discussions were conducted to facilitate the development of a proposed cooperation with external parties for potential investment. Within the FIP-1 villages, there are five licenses for Social Forestry. Additionally, 6 new licenses are in the process. A total of USD 5 Million investment is planned for 17 villages. In average, for those 5 villages that has obtained SF licenses, a total of USD 1.6 Million have been invested in creating alternative livelihood, including USD 100 K/village for bee keeping, aquaculture and handicraft business development, USD 1.3 M for forestry program, and USD 222 K for village infrastructure program.

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

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.
