Abstract

Forest degradation in the Maluku region, particularly on Ambon Island—driven by land-use conversion, unregulated deforestation, and a deficiency in ecological awareness—has posed a significant threat to environmental equilibrium. Hutumuri Village is a designated Customary Forest area, formally recognized under the Decree of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number SK.7876/MENLHK-PSKL/PKTH/PSL.1/12/2020, enacted on December 28, 2020. Geographically, Hutumuri is situated across coastal and hilly terrains, rendering it highly vulnerable to flooding, landslides, coastal erosion, and the depletion of water resource quality. Consequently, community outreach initiatives—utilizing educational lectures, participatory discussions, and pre-test and post-test evaluations—were implemented to enhance knowledge and cultivate collective responsibility toward forest conservation. The results of this community service program indicate a marked improvement in public understanding and a positive shift in attitudes, serving as a foundational element for strengthening the long-term environmental sustainability of the village.

Abstract

Agroforestry in Maluku (dusung) represents one of the cultural heritages that continues to be maintained in forest management practices on small islands. Watui, as an indigenous village located in the upstream area of the Tala River, plays an important role in maintaining the sustainability of the Wae Tala watershed on Seram Island, Maluku. The long-standing practice of dusung management has shaped a cultural landscape that serves as the social identity of the local community. This study aims to examine the structure and composition of dusung agroforestry systems and their cultural management practices in Watui Village. The methods employed included a dusung potential survey and interviews with 20 households directly involved in local agroforestry practices. The results showed that the agroforestry composition in Watui Village is dominated by commercially valuable species such as Pterocarpus indicus, Anthocephalus macrophyllus, Vitex cofassus, and Artocarpus champeden. The canopy structure is well developed and exhibits optimal ecological functions, characterized by five vertical strata. The local agroforestry system (dusung) in Watui Village is managed in the form of shifting cultivation fields, mixed gardens, and monoculture gardens, with management zoning that includes protected areas along riverbanks, utilization areas, and protected zones located on slopes greater than 45% or within water catchment areas. Furthermore, the community continues to uphold local wisdom that shapes the cultural landscape of the area.
