Environmental security and resilience – Indonesia and global challenges Kathryn A. Monk; Dolly Priatna
Indonesian Journal of Applied Environmental Studies Vol 3, No 1 (2022): Volume 3 Number 1 April 2022
Publisher : Universitas Pakuan

Indonesia faces tremendous challenges from climate change, biodiversity loss, and wider social and economic change. These challenges need extensive interdisciplinary approaches enabling multiple perspectives from diverse stakeholders to be recognised and utilised. Collaboration between scientists, social scientists, and economists has never been so important. As Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change said: “The [global] challenges we face are massive, urgent, and interconnected. We need people across all sectors to pull together and move us to a bright and strong future. There’s no time to waste!”. We are therefore happy to see the growing number of community-based participatory studies being submitted to InJAST and hope these will increase in future. There are exciting and vitally important issues to be tackled and supported by environmental managers to build the necessary environmental security and resilience, from direct conservation work to flood risk management and pollution control. Climate change drives or affects all these of course and has been, for example, one of the key drivers for Indonesia’s momentous plans to move the capital from the 256,000-hectare (990-square-mile) Jakarta on the north-western side of Java Island, the most populated island in the country, to the relatively undeveloped and biodiversity-rich East Kalimantan province on the island of Borneo. Climate change and immediate economic drivers in many parts of Indonesia also contribute to the annual toxic haze, which causes air quality to reach hazardous levels and creates major health, environmental and economic problems, especially in Sumatra and Java. Indeed, as of March this year, Riau province has already declared a state of emergency ahead of this year’s main fire season.

Promoting interdisciplinary approaches to solving the complexity of environmental problems in Indonesia problems in Indonesia Kathryn A. Monk

Publisher : Universitas Pakuan

As an ecologist, I believe we are now seeing the maturing of what we could call the Age of Ecology. An Age in which we finally develop that coherent and essential mainstream narrative for our future; one in which we tackle the interdependencies of nature loss, the climate emergency, and unsustainable production and consumption.The challenge has always been to recognise that the world is our bank account, and we live sustainably only by using its interest, not digging into our capital. If we do withdraw more capital, we must then find ways of investing more, to increase our capital. You can hear this language finally gaining much more traction today as politicians, managers and the public use the phrases natural and social capital, as well as the financial and manufactured capital, and recognise our dependencies on the natural environment.As such, I fully support the holistic, interdisciplinary sentiments and recommendations of Purwanto et al. (2020) in their introduction to the first issue of the Indonesian Journal of Applied Environmental Studies (InJAST). I have promoted interdisciplinary approaches to solving complex environmental problems throughout my career and worked with other academics and practitioners to support the realisation of the societal and economic impact of their research. We have increasingly recognised research impact institutionally and financially, but one main weakness persists and that is the availability of academic journals for publishing such interdisciplinary work. This journal can offer such a space for researchers and encourage the recognition and promotion of evidence to policy and practice communications. Most of all, this journal can foster the culture and confidence to ask the right questions to support the development of evidence-based decision making in policy and operational activities. I have spent a lot of time working with researchers who are doing excellent research but not asking the best questions to help improve management and utilisation of natural resources. Providing a forum in which students and early career researchers can confidently explore the rough answers to the right questions rather than the precise answers to the wrong questions, to paraphrase John Tukey (1915–2000), would be a wonderful role for InJAST.I am delighted to be asked to share my environmental experiences and perspectives in this guest editorial for the second issue of InJAST, reflecting for me a long association with Indonesia and Indonesian environmental managers, conservationists and foresters. I have worked around the world, especially in the tropics, firstly as part of scientific expeditions and then leading increasingly complex research and development programmes and institutions. Since returning to the UK, I have been involved in enhancing the quality and impact of scientific and interdisciplinary research and supporting the application and institutionalisation of the ecosystem approach and ecosystem services assessments. Here, I will focus on three major tropical environmental management programmes, two in Indonesia and one in Guyana, South America.These were complemented by subsequent involvement in the UK Government’s environmental management system. All reflect the evolution of environmental management and the emergence of the ecosystem approach, now being institutionalised slowly but surely around the world.

The Online Journal System now live for submission and peer-review Dolly Priatna; Kathryn A. Monk

Producing the first issue of a new scientific journal is an exciting and stressful time for any editorial board. Producing the second issue is more quietly satisfying with different concerns. Everyone was supportive and interested in the launch, but will they now follow up with challenging papers and relevant information to share, and will colleagues use and share this journal? A significant step forwards in the production of The Indonesian Journal of Applied Environmental Studies (InJAST), is that the Online Journal System is now live. This has meant that, whereas all work for the first issue was undertaken through email communication, for this second issue, all manuscript submissions and their peer-review processes have been managed successfully online. A major and much appreciated demonstration of support for InJAST is the MoU that has now been signed between the Graduate School of Environment Management in Pakuan University and PERWAKU (Perhimpunan Cendikiawan Lingkungan Indonesia; the Indonesian Association of Environmental Scholars), one of their key collaborations being to publish collaboratively InJAST. The MoU was signed auspiciously on 5 June 2020, the 16th anniversary of PERWAKU and the 46th anniversary of World Environment Day.World Environment Day 2020 sought to “engage governments, businesses, celebrities and citizens to focus their efforts on a pressing environmental issue… the theme is biodiversity – a concern that is both urgent and existential. Recent events, from bushfires in Brazil, the United States, and Australia to locust infestations across East Africa – and now, a global disease pandemic – demonstrate the interdependence of humans and the webs of life, in which they exist.”Also to mark World Environment Day, Pakuan University and PERWAKU, together with Andalas University, held a webinar focussed on the Protection and Management of The Environment of the Covid-19 Era. This global pandemic has of course affected everyone from all walks of life, and the webinar explored the dangers of over use and destruction of the natural world, the benefits all humans derive from nature for our survival, and the demands for good focussed environmental management. Although incredibly tragic, the pandemic has perhaps focussed governments, businesses and communities alike on our relationship with nature.All such concerns lie within the globally recognised nexus of the nature crisis, the climate emergency, and unsustainable production and consumption. Environmental managers must understand and bring into account a wide array of subjects and approaches, not just science and technology but also social sciences, behavioural insights, economics, policy and regulation, and the arts and humanities, when tackling such problems. In Indonesia, and elsewhere, these challenges include deforestation, habitat loss and air pollution from forest fires, and water and air pollution from industrial and urban development. The second issue of InJAST illustrates this breadth of interest, concern, and focussed research, comprising papers on environmental policy, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, natural resources management, biodiversity of restored habitats, and progression in methodological approaches.As Editors-in-Chief, we are very pleased to see this second issue appear and encourage our colleagues from all sectors to submit their papers covering primary research, reviews, and research into policy and practice.

The first issue of InJAST available in print and online Dolly Priatna; Kathryn A. Monk

It is our great pleasure to announce that the very first issue of the Indonesian Journal of Applied Environmental Studies (InJAST) is now be available in both print and online. This journal has evolved from the Journal of Environmental Education which started in 2015, and was managed by the Study Programme of Population and Environmental Education, Graduate Programme of Pakuan University. Because this study programme has now become the Study Programme of Environmental Management, we have decided to establish this new journal to publish scientific articles covering broader environmental issues that are written by the Indonesian students of graduate programmes either in Pakuan and other universities or researchers. Meanwhile, the publication and management of the Journal of Environmental Education will be transferred to another relevant faculty or study programme within Pakuan University.We intend the new InJAST to be published in English (with abstracts both in English and Bahasa) so that it can reach a wider readership internationally, and we hope encourage international environmental students and scientists working in Indonesia or on topics of specific relevance to Indonesia, to disseminate their research results and findings through this journal.We are pleased to also announce that it has been agreed in principle that this new journal will be published collaboratively between the Graduate School of Pakuan University and PERWAKU (Perhimpunan Cendikiawan Pemerhati Lingkungan Indonesia, the Indonesian Association of Environmentalist Scholars). A formal Memorandum of Understanding between both parties will be signed in the near future.In this occasion, we, as the chief editors of this new journal, would like to express our gratitude to various parties and individuals who have supported this initiative, especially to Prof. Dr. H. Bibin Rubini, M.Pd. (Chancellor of Pakuan University), Prof. Dr. Ing. H. Soewarto Hardhienata (Dean of Graduate School Pakuan University), and Prof. Jatna Supriatna, Ph.D. (Chairman of PERWAKU Indonesia). We would also like to express special thanks to our national and international colleagues at Pakuan University and elsewhere, who have so generously offered their time as members of the editorial board of the journal.Last but not least, we hope that the Indonesian Journal of Applied Environmental Studies (InJAST) will provide new colour and perspectives the scientific journals published by Pakuan Univeristy, and become the vehicle of choice for environmental science students and scientists to disseminate of their work.

We are very pleased to present InJAST Volume 2 Number 2 October 2021 at this exciting time for national and global focus on applied environmental studies. This latest edition contains reviews and research articles such as “Traditional knowledge of biodiversity in the community surrounding Giam Siak Kecil-Bukit Batu Biosphere Reserve, Riau, Indonesia” and “Overview and evaluation of Indonesia's water resources management policies for food security”. In addition, our guest editorial explores the topic of “Government, private, and local communities in ecosystem restoration governance and practices”. This editorial reminds us all that we are now in the first year of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), which challenges everyone to massively scale up restoration efforts focussed on our degraded ecosystems.

The role of the academic community in combating wildlife trafficking Dolly Priatna; Kathryn A. Monk

In Indonesia, the value of the illegal trade in wildlife reaches more than US one million per year. Apart from being a source country, Indonesia also has a significantly growing home market for illegally traded wildlife as pets, skins, and medicines.The illegal wildlife trade uses various modus operandi, directed by organized criminal groups and carried out by a variety of perpetrators on the ground, often very poor locals from rural communities. Whilst this trading activity is a transnational crime, that is, across national and continental borders, and may use the same supply routes usually associated with other crimes such as weapons, drugs and people trafficking, it is usually only the poachers on the ground who are caught and prosecuted. In summary, universities and their researchers have a significant role in the fight against the illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade, in monitoring wildlife populations and poaching activity, and in changing people's behavior, so that the activities of hunting, trading, or owning protected wildlife become unattractive and unacceptable to all communities. This role draws on disciplines across the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities, encouraging those interdisciplinary behaviours so important for effective environmental management that delivers for the long-term health and well-being of people.

The Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services 2019, published by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), shed light on the increasingly alarming state of global biodiversity. Biodiversity is essential to human survival through its contribution to ecosystem stability, resilience, and the provision of critical ecosystem services that sustain essential ecological processes and human well-being. Amongst other services, as demonstrated across Indonesia, biodiversity supports livelihoods by providing building and clothing materials, maintaining water quality, and providing medicines and food. As the global human population reached 8 billion in 2022, the interconnections between our unsustainable production and consumption, the climate crisis, and biodiversity decline have been increasingly recognized by the global community through IPBES and IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Escalating human numbers, coupled with burgeoning economic and industrial demands, must necessitate substantial forest land use—repositories of biodiversity. Conservation practitioners have therefore been continually driven to innovate in their pursuit of effective strategies for sustainably managing the world's precious biodiversity. Researchers and academics have the pivotal responsibility to produce research that brings about real-world impactful outcomes. The academic community is expected to address the needs of those working to conserve nature through the development of research and technology with immediate practical applicability. We look forward to publishing more of these research impact papers in the future.
