No results found.Since the beginning of 2020, the world has been firmly in the grip of the Covid-19 virus. In Indonesia, the first patient was reported in early March 2020. The subsequent restrictions imposed to prevent the spread of the virus affect the daily lives of all people. Apart from the health sector, some areas of the economic sector are being hit hard. Forest Program III - Sulawesi (FP III) used its presence in Central Sulawesi for additional efforts to reduce the economic impacts of the pandemic for the local communes. Central Sulawesi is one of the ten poorest provinces in Indonesia; according to the official statistic data (BPJS; 04/2021) in the province the percentage of people in poverty increased from 10% (12/2019) to 15% (12/2020). FP III provided funds for the planting of fast-growing species (gmelina sp, moringa sp., musaseae sp. etc.) and herbals (ginger, turmeric, etc.). Following project`s approach, the villagers received financial incentives (US$ 0,14/seedling planted) after the planting was carried out. In the meantime, farmers have long since harvested herbals and fruits. With this activity, carried out specifically to contribute to the Covid-19 pandemic response, farmers have made a positive contribution to the environment and health in many ways. The planting of fast-growing species improves the soil nutrients, creates a microclimate, reduces the risk of erosion, and enhances genetic conservation efforts. In addition, the planting of the selected species rapidly contributes to the health (nutrition) and improves the economic situation of the population trough the payment of incentives and because people have additional products to sell on the market) In total, FP III supported the planting of 207,211 fast-growing tree species and 64,606 herbals. The planting was conducted between June and August 2020. Conclusion: This fast reaction on the impacts of the pandemic turns out as a win-win solution for all beneficiaries and contributes to a better environment.

ArticleJournal 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.

ArticleJournal articleIncreasing land cover by promoting agroforestry-based tree planting to sustain community livelihood under various social forestry schemes in Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

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.
