Abstract

Titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum Becc.) is an endemic species of Indonesia that is found naturally only in Sumatra and is classified as endangered, with an estimated 303 mature individuals remaining in their natural habitat. The population is decreasing due to deforestation, tuber exploitation, long flowering times, and protandry. Therefore, both in-situ and ex-situ conservation programs are necessary to preserve this species. The research aims to explore natural populations, analyze habitat conditions, develop propagation methods, and conduct reintroduction efforts to support the conservation of A. titanum. This study was conducted from 2023 to 2024 in Palupuah, Agam Regency, the Agriculture Faculty of Universitas Andalas, and several locations for the reintroduction of A. titanum. The research found that A. titanum habitat consists of forests rich in humus and litter, as well as banana cultivation areas. During the exploration, 7 individuals were identified: one in dormancy, one fruiting, and 5 in the vegetative phase. Seed germination experiments categorized seeds into seven classes based on their weight. The most dominant seed class weighed between 2.9 g and 3.2 g, comprising 38 seeds or 26.9% of the total. The germination rate and seedling growth were high, as all seeds exhibited 100% and produced seedlings of relatively uniform size. Propagation was carried out using in vitro culture techniques with petiole explants. The results showed that 2 mg L-1 benzyl aminopurine (BAP) successfully induced callus formation with a 100% induction rate, while a concentration of 1.5 mg L-1 achieved the highest shoot induction rate at 58.3%, with an average of 1.3 shoots and 7.9 roots per explant. The propagated seedlings were subsequently replanted in several locations for reintroduction activities.

Abstract

Wildlife conservation is fundamental to mitigating the extinction due to wildlife trade. Thus, various conservation policies have been used as a reference: IUCN, CITES, and Government Policy P.106 of 2018. This research aims to record Facebook-based wildlife trade, identify the traded wildlife conservation status, and estimate the selling price. Data was taken since the group was formed until 1 July 2023. The results reveal that 107 species belonging to 53 families were recorded in 31 trading groups, comprising 82 species of aves, 17 species of herpetofauna, and eight species of mammals. Among those traded wildlife, based on P.106, 80 species are unprotected, while 27 are protected. Based on the IUCN, most traded wildlife is categorized as LC with 77 species. Some species are categorized as CR with four species, EN with 9, VU with 8, NT with 8, and NE with one species. Referring to CITES, 73 species classified as non-appendices dominate the trading groups, followed by 24 species of Appendix II, 9 of Appendix I, and 1 of Appendix III. The estimated selling price of all traded wildlife is approximately IDR 317,125,000. Governments and other conservation bodies must pay more attention to the growing Facebook-based wildlife trade, especially for protected and endangered species.

Abstract

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) enhance rural household income. In Rwanda, natural forests cover 11.9% of the land and are key for biodiversity conservation, providing water catchment protection, tourism, medicinal plants, honey, and handicraft materials. Despite the forest sector's economic potential, rural residents dependent on NTFPs face challenges, leading to high unemployment and poverty. This research examines how socio-economic factors affect Huye district NTFP collectors' welfare. Using multi-stage sampling, 152 participants were selected, and data was collected through structured questionnaires in 2022. Data analysis used SPSS version 29 and STATA version 16 for multiple linear regression. The research identified NTFPs including fruits, vegetables, honey, traditional medicine, mushrooms, building materials, bush meats, art crafts, fuel, forage, and fodder. The main reasons for NTFP participation included food provision, income generation, education and health expenses, obtaining forage and fodder, building materials, and traditional medicine. Factors like distance to forest, training, extension services, credits, and market information significantly influenced household income. The study recommends increasing forestland allocation for NTFPs and implementing agroforestry systems to boost household income. Reforestation and afforestation initiatives should enhance forest conservation and biodiversity. The Ministry of Lands and Forestry and stakeholders should establish payment systems for ecological services benefiting community residents

Abstract

Although agroforestry effectively addresses uncertainty, risk, and shocks, its adoption is slow among rural smallholder cashew farmers in the Gambia. This study investigates the factors influencing cashew agroforestry (AF) adoption through a household survey of 250 farmers from seven villages in the Kombo East District, West Coast Region. The adoption determinants were analyzed using a logit regression model and grouped into five categories: a) household preferences, b) resource endowment, c) risk and uncertainty, d) biophysical factors, and e) institutional factors. The study identified 28 factors, including demographics, experience, wealth, environmental threats, awareness, support, and climate change, as significantly influencing AF adoption. Despite recognizing the potential benefits of AF, farmers face constraints such as insufficient funds, poor-quality seedlings, limited extension services, lack of farmland, and low climate awareness. This study’s findings offer important insights for addressing the slow adoption of cashew AF in the Kombo East district, with potential relevance for similar regions in the Gambia and beyond. It offers insights for developing policies and programs to promote and accelerate AF adoption, enhance resilience in local farming systems, improve adaptive capacity, and provide diverse livelihood and socioeconomic benefits.

Abstract

Forest has been part of local people such as Sougb Tribe for generations where at the same time they have applied the traditional knowledge. However, the local government has been conducting development for decades with less involvement of the local knowledge. Hence, this research aimed to figure out the traditional knowledge during the forest utilization by Sougb Tribe in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua Province. The data were collected using interviews with the snowball method in subdistricts of Bintuni, Bintuni Timur, Manimeri, Tuhiba, and Tembun. Then, the study revealed that the Sougb Tribe, originally part of the Arfak Tribe, has inhabited the Teluk Bintuni area for generations, migrating from the highlands to the lowlands due to various factors like marriage and conflict. They still maintain customary rights while managing the land through traditional organizations. This tribe relies profoundly on forest resources for sustenance, practicing sustainable agriculture and traditional hunting. Despite facing challenges in forest utilization, they emphasize the importance of biodiversity and traditional knowledge in local conservation. Thus, it is vital to integrate this local wisdom into regional development that can enhance sustainability and cultural preservation, fostering community engagement and ecological balance.

Abstract

Peat swamp forests play a vital role in carbon storage, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation. This study about the hydrological behaviour of three compartments in the Resak Tambahan Forest Reserve with different forest canopy densities categorized as degraded forest and good forest based. Groundwater levels (GWL) and rainfall data were collected and analyzed from April 2023 to June 2024 to evaluate the impact of forest conditions on water retention and hydrological stability. The results show distinct patterns in GWL fluctuations across forest types, with high forest cover density consistently maintaining higher water retention during wet months due to its dense vegetation. A moderate relationship exists between rainfall and GWL variability in all compartments of a healthy forest, with 51% to 65% of the variation in GWL attributed to rainfall amounts. In degraded forest areas, about 52% to 54% of the variation in GWL can also be linked to rainfall effects. Regression analysis revealed a stronger correlation between rainfall and GWL in forests with high canopy density compared to low- and medium-canopy-density forests, suggesting that intact canopy structures enhance predictability in hydrological responses. Conversely, low and medium canopy density forests displayed erratic fluctuations and weaker correlations, highlighting the impact of forest degradation on groundwater dynamics. These findings emphasize the importance of forest canopy density in regulating water cycles and highlight the need for restoration initiatives aimed at improving forest resilience through hydrological studies in degraded peat swamp forests.

Abstract

Communities living near forest areas have long hunted wildlife for food and other products. Among the communities in Bintulu, Sarawak, traditional hunting and the consumption of wildlife meat are deeply ingrained in their culture. This study identifies the wildlife value orientation among communities in Bintulu, Sarawak, and compares their values with demographic factors, including gender, residency, age, and education level. A survey was developed to identify the communities' value orientation towards hunting, specifically the utilitarian, cultural/traditional, and conservation values. A total of 413 residents were surveyed, including individuals with knowledge of hunting practices and those who consume wildlife products, even if not active hunters themselves. Findings revealed that communities in Bintulu hold multiple values towards wildlife hunting, with a stronger tendency towards conservation values. When the demographic factors were compared, males exhibited stronger utilitarian and cultural/traditional values. Rural residents displayed higher utilitarian and cultural/traditional values, yet they also had stronger conservation values. Communities aged 40 and above displayed higher utilitarian, cultural/traditional, and conservation values. Those with lower levels of education, including primary and no formal education, show stronger conservation values than those with tertiary education. These findings emphasize the diversity of perspectives toward wildlife use and highlight the need for conservation strategies that align with local cultural contexts. Balancing traditional practices with ecological sustainability offers a more inclusive and region-specific approach to wildlife management and conservation policy.
