Farmer’S Perception

Baobab tree species plays a significant role in the livelihoods of rural dwellers in the Sahel regions. This study was carried out to analyze farmer’s perceptions on the impacts of Adansonia digitata L. leaves exploitation on its conservation and on livelihoods of local communities. Data were collected by interviewing 120 farmers to elucidate the impacts of leaves exploitation as well as the contribution of the species on their livelihoods. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data to identify the annual contribution and to determine the socio-demographic characteristics influencing farmer’s perception of baobab leaves harvesting techniques. The results show that non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are the second pillar to support the respondents after agriculture. Their contribution rate ranged between 4 and 7% in the study sites. The findings revealed that the annual income obtained per person from the exploitation of baobab leaves ranged from 33,714 FCFA (56.00 USD) to 52,857 FCFA (87.80 USD). Its contribution to annual household income varies between 2.51 and 5.4%. Two (used of machete and stick) out of the three (manual collection, used of machete and stick) methods used by farmers to harvest the baobab leaves, have negative impacts on baobab species conservation. Age, educational level, and gender are key factors influencing farmer’s perception of baobab leaves harvesting. In view of the importance of the baobab tree, it is imperative that the domestication and propagation of baobab trees should be supported through the adoption of improved agroforestry technologies. In addition, sustainable harvesting practices of baobab leaves is also recommended for the conservation of this species.

[Bahasa]: Kawasan Hutan Pendidikan Senaru atau disebut juga dengan Kawasan Hutan dengan Tujuan Khusus (KHDTK) Senaru memiliki potensi multi fungsi yang dapat memberikan manfaat ekonomi, lingkungan, pendidikan dan sosial bagi umat manusia. Manfaat tersebut diantaranya berasal dari Hasil Hutan Kayu (HHK) dan Hasil Hutan Bukan Kayu. Selain manfaat yang bersumber dari HHK dan HHBK terdapat juga manfaat jasa lingkungan seperti wisata alam dan pendidikan. Dalam perjalanannya KHDTK Senaru dimanfaatkan sebagai tempat wisata bagi masyarakat baik lokal, nasional maupun internasional yang datang ke KHDTK Senaru untuk menikmati pemandang alamnya atau melewati KHDTK untuk melanjutkan perjalanan mereka menuju puncak Gunung Rinjani. Kondisi ini tentunya merupakan perkembangan yang positif bagi KHDTK Senaru dan pengelola, dalam melakukan pengembangan wisata kedepannya. Permasalahan yang terjadi pada saat ini yaitu belum maskimalnya informasi terkait sumberdaya hutan yang ada pada KHDTK Senaru untuk menunjang wisata edukasi bagi pengunjung maupun masyarakat sekitar terkait dengan alam sekitar, terutama pengenalan jenis vegetasi yang terdapat disepanjang jalur wisata. Sehingga tujuan dilaksanakannya kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah: (1) untuk menyediakan informasi vegetasi yang terdapat pada jalur wisata, (2). menyediakan herbarium vegetasi yang ada sepanjang jalur dan (3) menyediakan papan informasi terkait vegetasi pada jalur wisata. Motode yang digunakan adalah observasi, focus group discussion (FGD), dan sosialisasi. Adapun hasil yang diperoleh adalah sebagai berikut: (1) masyarakat memiliki data terkait jenis-jenis vegetasi yang terdapat pada jalur-jalur wisata, (2) tersedianya herbarium jenis-jenis vegetasi yang ada di sepanjang jalur (3) tersedianya papan informasi terkait jenis-jenis vegetasi yang ada di sepanjang jalur. Kata Kunci: KHDTK; Senaru; wisata edukasi; pengenalan jenis vegetasi [English]: Senaru Educational Forest or also known as Forest Area with Special Purposes (KHDTK) has a multi-functional potency that can provide economic, environmental, educational, and social benefits for people. The benefits are derived from Timber Forest Products (HHK) and Non-Timber Forest Products (HHBK). In addition, there are also benefits from environmental services such as natural tourism and education. KHDTK Senaru is used as a tourist destination ranging from local, national and international tourists who came to enjoy its natural views or pass through to the summit of Mount Rinjani. This condition is certainly a positive development for KHDTK Senaru and the management, in carrying out tourism development in the future. The current problem is the lack of information regarding the forest resources available at the KHDTK Senaru to support educational tourism and the local communities regarding the natural environment, especially the introduction of vegetation species along the tracks. Thus, the aims of this community service program are (1) to provide information on vegetation available along the tourist track, (2) to provide herbariums for vegetation along the tourist track, and (3) to provide information boards related to vegetation available on the tourist track. The methods used are observation, focus group discussion (FGD), and socialization. The results obtained after the program are as follows: (1) the local communities have database regarding list of vegetation species available along the tourist tracks, (2) the availability of herbariums of vegetation on the tourist track, and (3) the availability of information boards of vegetation at the tourist track.

Rahawarin YY. 2017. Non-timber forest products extracted activities of the upstream Mamberamo basin’s traditional communities of West Papua, Indonesia. Asian J For 1: 23-26. The aim of this study is to find utilization activities of extracting nontimber forest products by local communities on the upstream part of Mamberamo Basin. Survey, observation and semi-structural interview were taken to generate data and information. The result showed that the local communities extracted several of non-timber forest products over the course of their generations to fulfill basic daily necessities. There were several types of non-timber forest products that have been used by local communities either from plants wild animals that living across different types of forest. These activities were lasted for generations so that people called it as a traditional conservation. They are still exist recently and believed to maintain the long-lasting of non timber forest products continuity to keep the availability of traditional food sources for the daily needs over generations.

AbstractBiological surveys starting in the 1950s provided clear evidence that the Itombwe Massif, located in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, is one of the most important areas for conservation in Africa. Further surveys in the mid 1990s and early 2000s showed key species were still present and could be conserved. Following a report on these surveys the Ministry of Environment established the Itombwe Reserve in 2006 without consulting local communities who have legitimate customary rights to reside within the area and use the region's natural resources. Although creating the Reserve was within the government's legal authority, its establishment violated the rights of the people there. Here we report over a decade of work by a consortium of international and national human rights and conservation NGOs, the local communities and the protected areas authority (Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature), to remediate this taking of customary rights. Starting in 2008 these partners began a participatory process with all 550 villages within and around the boundary of the Reserve. Using a community resource use mapping approach, developed from best practices, the team helped communities determine the boundary of the Reserve, and then pilot participatory zoning to identify zones for settlements, agriculture, hunting, gathering of non-timber forest products, and conservation. This process secured the customary rights of long-term residents in the Reserve and protected their lands from being taken by non-rights holders. As a result of this work the use rights of communities were largely restored and the communities agreed on 23 June 2016 to formalize the boundaries of the renamed Itombwe Nature Reserve.

Non Timber Forest Products

Deforestation and forest degradation are occurring continuously and posing serious threats to forests and people worldwide. In Myanmar, poor regulation and unsustainable extraction of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) is affecting millions of hectares of natural forests; overexploitation of forest resources is one of the main drivers of forest degradation. Although evidence shows that the extraction of NTFPs results in forest degradation, there have been few studies on what drives rural people to depend on NTFPs and how to address these drivers in terms of policies and measures. Policies and measures are nationally enacted policies and actions that countries undertake to address the causes of deforestation and forest degradation. This study identifies which factors determine the dependence on NTFPs in forest-dependent communities. From these factors, we derived policy implications for the main causes of overexploitation of NTFPs to provide suggestions for developing policies and measures in the design of national Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) strategies. Focusing on the Taungoo District as a case of dependence on NTFPs by local communities, we conducted a qualitative and quantitative data collection procedure based on interviewing households in the local communities. NTFPs contributed the most to total household income and the main types of NTFPs exploited were charcoal making and bamboo selling. Households with lower education level, less agricultural land, less income from off-farm activities, lived under the poverty line or used only charcoal were more dependent on NTFPs in the study areas. Poverty and fuelwood usage were factors affecting NTFPs dependence for landowners while rice insufficiency, off-farm income and fuelwood usage most affected the NTFPs dependence for landless people. The results suggested that national strategies for REDD+ should take into account local features such as income opportunities and land tenure in order to make local people cooperate with the government to avoid deforestation and forest degradation.

This study provides a species list of the angiosperms from the Araripe National Forest (ANF) in the south part of Ceará state, northeastern Brazil. The floristic survey recorded 188 species from 55 Angiosperm families. The most species-rich families were Fabaceae (31), Rubiaceae (17), Asteraceae (14), Bignoniaceae (10), Myrtaceae (9), Euphorbiaceae (7), Apocynaceae and Malpighiaceae (7) and Annonaceae and Solanaceae (5). The flora of the ANF is composed of typical species from the vegetation physiognomies of Cerrado sensu lato such as cerradão and cerrado sensu stricto and it is influenced by the northeastern phytogeographic Cerrado province. Furthermore, there are influences of ecotones between these physiognomies, seasonal forests and carrascos within the Caatinga biome. In addition to four threatened species that were recorded, the ANF also harbors species that represent important incomes for local communities because of the non-timber forest products, such as Dimorphandra gardneriana Tul. and Caryocar coriaceum Wittm.
