Abstract

Without good control, fuel-wood extraction from conservation forest, such as Way Kambas National Park (WKNP), can threat the existence of the forest. This paper observes the way to tackle the forest degradation in WKNP, with minimum impacts to the local people who use the fuel-wood. The study includes analysing the appropriate policy for using the fuel wood. Observation was carried out by analysing existing data and maps of WKNP in various perspectives: forest degradation, inventories, analysis of current policies, survey on how fuel-wood is extracted, mapping the mobilisation of fuel-wood gatherers, survey on fuel-wood demand, and identification of further policy options. The results show that there is fuel-wood extraction activity in WKNP influenced by income level, land ownership, the number of household members, the distance to forest area, and the age of patriarch. However, this activity is tolerated by unwritten policy at local level, although this is forbidden by written policy at national level, so this creates the failure in maintaining sustainable off-take of fuel-wood. This is supported by the fact that fuel-wood extraction in WKNP triggers the reduction of forest stock and the changes of species diversity, species evenness, and old-young tree ratio due to destructive techniques used such as slashing, scratching cambium, and cutting trees. Therefore, some recommended policy options are legalizing fuel-wood extraction with limitations, providing alternative fuel-wood and other biomass energy resources outside WKNP, running preventive and pre-emptive measures, cooperating with other stakeholders, and empowering local economic

Abstract

Political economy concerns with how actual policies deviate from economic optimality. This study evaluates Indonesia’s progresses toward sustainable development goals (SDGs) from the political economy viewpoint. The authors discuss Indonesia’s Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) and critically analyse its COVID-19 pandemic control policy given the policy’s importance to SDG 3 (good health and well-being) and SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth). Indonesia chooses to opt-out strict public health restrictions because of the government’s preoccupation with economic growth, the large number of workers relying on daily income and its state of democratic consolidation. This results in Indonesia’s failure to control the pandemic and to avert economic recession. Indonesia correctly anticipates global vaccine nationalism and secures adequate vaccine supplies primarily from China. Vaccination becomes Indonesia’s key pandemic strategy. This study shows how indispensable partnerships (SDG 17) are for achieving SDGs, presenting the case of the Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation’s work in forest certification and sustainable forest management.
