Abstract

Peat swamp forests in South Sumatra play a vital role in climate change mitigation through carbon storage and hydrological regulation. However, anthropogenic pressures such as illegal logging, land conversion, and recurring fires have led to severe ecosystem degradation, including within the Padang Sugihan Wildlife Reserve, which covers approximately 86,932 hectares. This reserve serves as a critical habitat for endemic flora and fauna but has experienced a decline in forest cover and ecological functions, ultimately affecting its carbon storage capacity. This study aimed to estimate vegetation density and carbon stock through a combination of field observations, spatial analysis (land cover change, NDVI, and carbon stock), and allometric approaches. Eight plots measuring 20×20 m were established based on the 2024 land cover map, representing similar secondary forest vegetation structures. The analysis followed SNI 7724:2011 standards for carbon stock measurement and calculation. The results revealed significant land cover changes between 2020 and 2024, including a reduction in secondary peat swamp forest and an increase in open areas, plantations, and water bodies. NDVI values and allometric measurements indicated spatial variations reflecting vegetation growth dynamics and carbon absorption potential. Plot 8 and Locus 4 recorded the highest carbon accumulation, at 1.602 and 10.63 tons CO₂e ha⁻¹, respectively, influenced by the dominance of Mahang species (Lauraceae family), vegetation density, and stand age. These findings highlight the critical role of secondary peat swamp forests in maintaining carbon balance and supporting peatland ecosystem restoration at the landscape level. The results also provide scientific evidence for developing sustainable management and conservation strategies for the Padang Sugihan Wildlife Reserve.

Abstract

Honey bees are social insects that live in colonies. A bee colony consists of around 10,000 to 60,000 bees. The colony consists of a queen (fertile female), hundreds of drones and thousands of worker bees (sterile females). Honey bee cultivation is currently not only oriented towards the economy but also on the aspect of maintaining sustainable forests. The Wana Lestari Forest Farmer Group (KTH) in Rejo Sari Village, Megang Sakti District, Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra Province, which is supervised by the Lakitan Bukit Cogong Forest Management Unit (KPH), is developing Apis mellifera bee cultivation. The Community Partnership Program activity partners were carried out at the Lakitan Bukit Cogong KPH Office and at the Wana Lestari Forest Farmer Group (KTH) location in Rejo Sari Village, Megang Sakti District, Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra Province on May 27, 2024 - May 31, 2024. The activities carried out were honey bee cultivation training with the initial step of preparing materials for beekeeping and training in the bee breeding process. From the results of this training activity, it can be concluded that the honey bee cultivation training activity at KTH Wana Lestari can be beneficial for KTH members so that it can increase the income of farmer groups.

Abstract

This community service initiative seeks to enhance the institutional capacity and professionalism of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) via a strategic methodology that includes initial assessment, interactive workshops, intense mentoring, and facilitation of business partnership execution. The activities were conducted in eight villages within Musi Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. The employed methodologies encompassed participative analyses of BUMDes profiles, training in the formulation of work plans and business ideas, and the enhancement of branding strategies. The findings indicated that all BUMDes successfully developed strategic documents, including firm profiles, collaboration proposals, and SWOT analyses. Five BUMDes have initiated preliminary collaborations with neighboring enterprises. The primary obstacles encountered consist of insufficient human resource capability, restricted technological utilization, and scant managerial expertise. This program enhances both technical and administrative capabilities while fostering the establishment of sustainable collaborative networks between villages and the corporate sector. Additional proposals encompass training in corporate digitization, mentoring in negotiation, and the establishment of a more flexible organizational structure. This program aims to serve as a prototype for village empowerment through strategic partnerships and enhanced institutional capacity, which may be replicated in other locations.

Abstract

Forest and land fires are recurring environmental problems in Musi Banyuasin Regency, particularly in areas dominated by forest landscapes and peatlands. This community engagement activity aimed to enhance community understanding and awareness of forest and land fire prevention and management through an educational and participatory socialization approach. The activity was conducted in Muara Merang Village, Bayung Lencir Subdistrict, and Pangkalan Bulian Village, Batanghari Leko Subdistrict, involving 45 participants representing village governments, Fire Care Community groups, farmer and forest farmer groups, youth organizations, and women’s groups. The implementation stages included an initial assessment and site selection, coordination with village stakeholders, pre-test administration, delivery of conceptual and technical materials, participatory discussions, and evaluation through post-test. The results indicate that the community’s initial understanding of forest and land fires was relatively adequate, with an average pre-test score of 6.2, although the understanding remained partial. After the socialization activity, participants’ understanding increased significantly, as reflected by an average post-test score of 9.25. Participatory discussions further revealed community needs for institutional strengthening, more intensive training, adequate equipment support, and sustainable land management alternatives without burning practices. These findings highlight the importance of community-based approaches as an initial step in strengthening local preparedness and sustainable forest and land fire prevention at the village level.

Abstract

One form of community-based health service is Posyandu. Generally, Posyandu cadres are members of the community who do not have a background as medical or health professionals, so in the field, they often face various obstacles and limitations in providing health services. This community service activity was conducted in Musi Banyuasin Regency. A total of 72 Posyandu and nutrition post cadres from nine villages, namely Babat Supat, Babat Ramba Jaya, Sukamaju, Letang, Tri Tunggal, Pangkalan Tungkal, Simpang Tungkal, Mangsang, and Muara Merang villages. The methods used were assessment, material delivery (education), and practice or demonstration. The pre-test and post-test scores showed that this activity succeeded in increasing the knowledge and abilities of Posyandu and nutrition post cadres. Cadres gained a better understanding of using anthropometry and determining the nutritional status of pregnant women, infants, and toddlers. In addition, cadres also better understood and were able to practice preparing balanced nutritious menus for Supplementary Feeding (PMT) at the Posyandu.
