Abstract

Forests are crucial covering 31% of the Earth’s land surface. Deforestation has caused damage to these forest landscapes limiting their ability to provide ecosystem services like provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services. In response to this degradation issue, the concept of forest landscape restoration was introduced in 2000. This review aims to provide comprehensive studies of existing literature on the effect of forest landscape restoration and restoration time on reversing ecosystem service in Ethiopia. The goal is to inform evidence-based decision-making and guide research in this field. The review analyzed 16 studies conducted from 2011 to 2023 that covered aspects of forest landscape restoration. The findings indicated that these restorations had an impact on ecosystem services such as improving soil properties, storing carbon stack, enhancing species diversity, richness, evenness, and regeneration status, and benefiting community livelihood. However, the review found that most of the studies were limited to specific regions, little information on the cultural service, and there were inconsistencies in some research findings. In general, this study provides significant evidence supporting the importance of restoration as a viable strategy to rehabilitate degraded forest landscapes. It also highlights the importance of long-term monitoring and considering ecological conditions for sustainable restoration efforts in regaining ecosystem services.

Abstract

The conservation forest area of Sultan Syarif Hasyim Forest Park, Riau Province an area of 6,172 hectares in the administrative area of Siak Regency, Kampar Regency, and Pekanbaru City. The views (perceptions) of the people that live around this forest area, can provide benefits for economic and social improvement. On the other hand, it cannot be ruled out that the existence of people who have already lived and worked in this forest area have a perception that the area that they control is a place of survival and death. This condition has caused 79% of the total area of this forest to be degraded and converted into oil palm plantations, settlements, social facilities, public facilities, and community business facilities. This research method applies a naturalistic paradigm - qualitative approach design. The data collection technique is through interviews, observation, and documentation study. The data analysis techniques is descriptive with the formal and informal results of the study. The implementation of collaborative management is analyzed from four elements of collaboration, namely; institutional procedures and agreements, leadership, knowledge and resources. The research result shows that the implementation of collaborative management in the conservation forest area of Sultan Syarif Hasyim Forest Park, Riau Province is running optimally on the elements of procedures and institutional agreements, leadership, knowledge and resources. Such conditions can be an example for other forest area managers how to manage forests in a sustainable, ecologically fair manner and provide positive impacts for the community.

Abstract

Sea cucumber inhabits shallow waters of the coastal area. Consequently, these organisms are vulnerable to heavy metals through food consumption and direct exposure to sediments, considering that they are filter-feeding and bottom-dwelling organisms. Holothuria. leucospilota, locally known as “balat” is used as a bioindicator to measure environmental pollution in this study. The analysis of Cr and Pb were administered in the sediments and the body wall of H. leucospilota from residential and commercial areas along the coastal area of Jasaan, Misamis Oriental. Cr and Pb concentrations were determined using the Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) method for sediments and the Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (GFAAS) method for H. leucospilota. Results of the concentration of heavy metals in the sediments and body wall of H. leucospilota revealed that Cr>Pb while Pb>Cr in residential and commercial areas, respectively. The results of Cr and Pb concentration in the body wall of H. leucospilota were compared to the standard set by WHO/EPA and CODEX. Thus, H. leucospilota collected in the areas exceeded the permissible limit for Cr while Pb in H. leucospilota recorded below the permissible limit. Hence, this implies that this type of food is not safe for food intake and therefore, not recommended for human consumption.

Abstract

The research aimed to assess the environmental sensitivity of teacher education students within an earthquake-prone region, specifically exploring potential correlations between their environmental awareness, settlement size, educational program, and experiences related to the February 6 Earthquake. 342 students from Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Faculty of Education participated in the study, employing quantitative research methods and the “Environmental Sensitivity Questionnaire”. Data analysis involved frequency, arithmetic mean, and percentages, with the Kruskal-Wallis H test used to examine the link between students' environmental sensitivity, program of study, and settlement size, and the Mann-Whitney U test employed to assess the association between experiencing the February 6 Earthquake and environmental sensitivity. The data were analyzed using the SPSS program. The findings revealed that teacher-education students exhibited partial environmental sensitivity. Notably, students enrolled in mathematics teaching programs displayed higher environmental sensitivity than those in social studies teaching programs, while students residing in metropolitan and urban areas exhibited greater environmental awareness than their counterparts in non-metropolitan areas. Moreover, the research highlighted that teacher education students in earthquake-prone regions exhibited partial sensitivity towards air and water pollution, with lower sensitivity regarding soil pollution, population planning, and engagement in environmental initiatives.

Abstract

Studying climate change's impact on runoff and drought is crucial for sustainable society and ecosystems. The extent of drought evolution and how droughts would affect society and the environment are not sufficiently considered in Senegal. This study assesses hydrological impacts and future drought using three global climate models (ACCESS-ESM1-5, BCC-CSM2-MR, and MRI-ESM2-0) as part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) in the Aga-Foua-Djilas Basin. To this end, the hydrological impacts of climate change over 20-year periods (2021-2040; 2041-2060; 2061-2080; 2081-2100) at a resolution of 2.5 under four emission scenarios (SSP 126; 245; 370; 585), were investigated, and the drought characteristics are shown below, the SSP 245 and 585 scenarios over the 2021-2100 period. The results highlight a decrease in runoff potential given the drop in rainfall, which fell from 25.2 mm over the 2021-2040 period and under SSP 126 to 2.4 mm towards the end of the century (2081-2100) and under the SSP 585 scenario, changes in the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized precipitation and evapotranspiration index (SPEI) were first compared, and the SPEI showed larger changes due to its inclusion of temperature effects. The drought zone in the basin is likely to increase at the end of the 21st century with values approaching 80% for SPI and 90% for SPEI under the SSP 245 and SSP 585 scenarios if drought mitigation and adaptation mechanisms are inadequate. The results provide important guidance for improving the identification of causes, minimizing impacts, and building resilience to droughts in Senegal.

Abstract

A large part of research to date is devoted to the rehabilitation of degraded landscapes focused on technical aspects. This paper evaluated the socio-economic outcomes of Community-Based Rehabilitation of Degraded Land (CBRDL) in the North Showa area of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Multistage sampling techniques were used. In the first stage, the research site is selected based on years of experience in community-based rehabilitation of degraded lands (CBRDL), then simple random sampling techniques were used to select households from two target populations. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science. The findings revealed that the CBRDL brought about reductions in soil erosion and flooding and increased water availability, increased vegetation cover, and crop productivity. Although a people-centered planning approach was promoted during the intervention, a top-down approach prevailed and much needs to be done to overcome the persistent top-down planning process. Lack of knowledge, low level of awareness, low income, and small household size were identified as the main factors affecting participation in the rehabilitation of degraded lands. The overall evaluation showed that the CBRDL is showing encouraging positive impacts.

Abstract

Road development has been a primary focus in efforts to enhance connectivity and mobility across various regions, especially in densely populated urban areas that often serve as economic hubs. While crucial for addressing mobility challenges in urban settings, it is essential to acknowledge that road development in rural areas also holds significant importance. This paper investigates the sustainability of rural road development through five dimensions of environmental, social, economic, institutional management, and law enforcement, a case study on Woro Village, Kepohbaru District, Bojonegoro Region. The quantitative research collected data through a questionnaire from 84 respondents who are members of the village community. The data analysis employed Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) using R-studio software. The result is indicated by the sustainability index of the environmental index of 83.93; the social index of 86.46; the economic index of 88.06; the institutional management index of 79.32 and the law enforcement index of 86.15. The research findings indicate rural road development has demonstrated good sustainability in various aspects, including environmental, social, economic, management institutions, and law enforcement. This confirms that efforts to build rural roads have provided sustainable and diverse positive impacts on local communities and the surrounding environment.

Abstract

The escalating environmental concerns associated with polymer waste have prompted a global call for sustainable solutions. This study explores the viability and potential impact of implementing buy-back programs for polymer waste in Nigeria. Through an extensive review of existing literature, environmental policies, and case studies, the research aims to provide insights into the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of such initiatives. The study adopted a qualitative research design with the use of in-depth interviews among 25 participants comprising ecopreneurs, environmental management officers, and community residents in the Ijebu region of Ogun State, Nigeria. Based on participant interviews, the research shows that stakeholders realize the economic and environmental benefits of such programs, but various difficulties must be overcome for success. Efficient collection and transportation methods are needed due to logistical challenges like those in waste management programs. Positive policies are needed to stimulate and regulate buy-back efforts, as is regulatory assistance. Community trust and engagement are crucial to buy-back program success.

Abstract

The volume of waste in Indonesia especially in Palopo City increases every year, while the quality of waste management does not show good performance. The large population makes high consumption including energy needs, even though most of the national energy needs come from coal which is a source of pollutants. Waste to energy (WTE) is a modern waste management that utilizes waste into renewable energy, the conversion of waste into energy can be done with landfill gas (LFG) technology and incineration. The study aims to analyze the potential of waste management based on waste-to-energy technology in Palopo City. Quantitative descriptive research with observation and documentation instruments. To calculate the potential energy produced using LandGem-v302 and mathematical equations, to assess the feasibility of economic value using the criteria npv, irr, brc, and pp. The results of this study show that gas landfill technology has the potential to produce renewable energy. The results of the economic feasibility assessment of gas landfill technology meet all four criteria, thus the development of gas landfill technology can provide economic benefits. The results of incineration technology research have the potential to produce renewable energy. But from the results of the economic feasibility assessment unlike gas landfills, the combustion technology does not meet one of the economic value feasibility criteria. So the development of centration technology is not recommended to obtain economic benefits, the development of incineration technology is recommended to reduce waste.

Abstract

Medicinal plants take a fundamental place in people's livelihoods. They seem to be a palliative therapeutic option for health problems. The knowledge of traditional uses of plants for healing held by indigenous people is an asset to the valorization of traditional medicine, which is increasingly solicited for the treatment of many diseases. The aim of this research is to improve know-how on plant species employed in the traditional pharmacopoeia practiced by the Baka people, recognized as great healers. Data were collected between 2018 and 2019 from 75 households distributed in five villages in the Mintom subdivision, Southern Region of Cameroon. The so-called popular ethnobotanical survey method was used. One thousand six hundred and thirty-five (1 635) citations and six hundred and five (605) recipes were recorded, involving 210 plant species, distributed in 183 genera and 75 families. A total of 69 health problems were identified and distinguished in 13 groups of diseases. Results reveal that for the same diseases, each village uses its own list of plants. The study area is highly diverse in terms both flora and uses. This paper can therefore be seen as a continuation of the research and development of plants-based medicines. It is also in the line with the import-substitution policy for valorization of Cameroonian.
