Abstract

Indonesia’s commitment to addressing climate change was declared at the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP) in 2021, with its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledging to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 31.89% (unconditional) and 43.2% (conditional) by 2030. The forestry sector played a vital role by accelerating forest cover through restoration and rehabilitation programs. KHDTK DIKLATHUT UGM (KDU) consistently organized such programs by planting various species. To fulfill seedling needs, local communities were involved through community-based nursery initiatives. The establishment of the community-based nursery program aimed to: (1) encourage community participation around the forest to support the success of the KHDTK DIKLATHUT UGM forest restoration and rehabilitation program, (2) develop competent local community cadres skilled in producing high-quality seedlings for plantation, and (3) provide additional job opportunities and increase income for the local community. Three targeted villages were located in Ngawi: Pitu, Kalang, and Nglebak. The methods used in this program included: (1) focus group discussions (FGDs), (2) field observation and surveys, (3) education and training, and (4) monitoring and evaluation. The results showed that 12 local communities had established community-based nurseries with various species being propagated. The program also demonstrated good financial feasibility, generating a profit of IDR69,272,273 or approximately IDR289 per seedling. However, seedling handling and health maintenance remained challenging. Therefore, further education and training could be initiated to improve the local community’s knowledge and skills.

Abstract

This study explores the diversity of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in the Forest Zone with Special Purpose (KHDTK) of Getas-Ngandong, East Java, Indonesia, with the aim of optimizing resource allocation, livelihood diversification, and biodiversity conservation in its planning and management. By conducting a six-month (May–October 2018) biophysical survey through direct observation, coupled with structured social surveys and interviews with key informants in adjacent community-managed forest area. We identified a wide range of NTFPs that are critical for sustainable forest management. Understanding the diversity and distribution of NTFPs is necessary to inform strategic interventions that enhance forest sustainability while supporting the economic resilience of surrounding communities. The findings reveal a rich variety of NTFPs within the region, with agricultural and food crops such as corn, sugarcane, rice, and cassava prevalent inside forest areas, while fruits like mangoes and bananas dominate the surrounding non-forest areas. These insights can serve as valuable inputs, such as integrating fruit tree cultivation into agroforestry zones to enhance income stability, for developing a KHDTK management plan that diversifies income sources, supports local livelihoods, and promotes sustainable forest management practices by balancing economic, ecological, and social benefits.   Keywords: Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs); Sustainable Forest Management; KHDTK Getas-Ngandong.
