ArticleSocial inclusion and utilization of non-timber forest products species variation in ecosystem restoration
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.In the era of ecosystem restoration, many parties have been participating in the ecosystem restoration in Indonesia. Many restoration activities aim to recreate functional ecosystem of the landscape. In this case, utilization of species variation that produce non-timber forest products (NTFP) can be considered, such as fruit trees, honey bee, stingless bee, mulberry and others. The study of restoration on peatland and lowland ecosystem have been conducted in two areas of Indonesia, namely Riau and South Sulawesi provinces. The restoration was conducted in the research scale in collaboration with villagers. In Kepau Jaya village, apiculture (honey bee and stingless bee) has been promoting to the villagers, while in Donri-donri village, sericulture (cultivation of mulberry and silk worm) has been promoting. Non timber forest products provide multi benefit for the environment and villagers. Social inclusion is a precondition in the success of ecosystem resoration.

DocumentVariability in the early growth of Parkia timoriana (DC.) Merr. from Mount Makiling Forest Reserve, Luzon, Philippines and its applications in conservation and forest restoration
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.This study evaluated the early growth performance of selected mother trees of Parkia timoriana (Fabaceae) and characterized the suitable environmental (soil and light) factors for the growth of the species. P. timoriana seedlings from different mother trees from the Mount Makiling Forest Reserve (MMFR), Luzon, Philippines were grown in two soil media under greenhouse condition and field trial planted in the University of the Philippines Laguna-Quezon Land Grant (LQLG), where P. timoriana is not occurring naturally and soil and climate differ significantly with the MMFR. Early growth performances in height and ground basal diameter (GBD) or root collar diameter (RCD) both in the greenhouse and field trial plot were measured. Nursery-based performance showed that the average RCD was generally higher in MMFR than LQLG soil but the overall difference was not statistically significant. In contrast, overall average height was consistently higher in LQLG than in MMFR soil, but similar to RCD the difference was not statistically significant. Under different light conditions in the field trial, there was significant difference in mortality, tree height, and GBD. The differences in both the height and GBD may be attributed to the genotype of the mother trees, but height can additionally be attributed to the interaction of the genotype and the different light conditions. Results suggest that P. timoriana can be grown in areas of different soil condition, but it requires partial shade in order to achieve its full growth potential during the early stage of its growth. Hence, P. timoriana when used in reforestation or tree planting projects must consider differences in the early growth response of seedlings according to its genotype as well as light conditions. However, it is highly suggested that growth performances among provenances of P. timoriana and other environmental variables that may affect growth of the species should be looked into.

DocumentNature based solutions for restoration of degraded forests and biodiversity conservation
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Bush encroachment is a serious land degradation phenomenon affecting up to 45 million hectares of Namibian land and has severe negative consequences on key ecosystem services, threatening biodiversity, water resources and the livelihoods of communities and farmers who depend on the land. It has led to decreased biodiversity, degradation of the functions and structures of ecological ecosystems, lowering the grasslands’ carrying capacity, displacement of wildlife, as well as impacting groundwater recharge. Encroachers include species such as Senegalia erubescens, S. fleckii, Vachellia nilotica, V. luederitzii, V. reficiens, Colophospermum mopane, Rhigozum trichotomum, Terminalia prunioides, T. sericea, S. mellifera, and Dichrostachys cinerea.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organisation promoting responsible forest management. FSC has been certifying forest management in savanna woodland and timber products produced such as charcoal in Namibia for 19 years, and has seen a rapid increase in forest management certification over the last 3 years. The poster will highlight the enabling conditions which contributed to the growth of approximately 1.5 million hectares (841%) of responsibly managed restoration efforts on FSC certified land in Namibia. This will include information on the FSC forest stewardship standard for Namibia developed by Namibian experts and stakeholders. The standard is focused on restoration of degraded forests and effective after-care measures and improved working conditions for workers. Information will also include supply chain integrity in charcoal supply chains from Namibia to European markets; biodiversity conservation via ecosystem services certification, development and implementation of user friendly technology to assist farmers with sustainable forest management practices and knowledge transfer; and how the use of materials developed by partners have assisted with best practices and local capacity development.
