Abstract

Special interest hiking tourism involves risks that can be minimized through thorough preparation and effective management. This study aims to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and propose control measures to enhance climbing safety within Mount Gede Pangrango National Park (TNGGP). The Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Determining Control (HIRADC) method was employed, involving interviews with experienced trail managers, including two porters, two guides, and TNGGP officials with over one year of trail management experience. The results indicate seven vulnerable points along the Cibodas–Gede Peak Trail, where potential hazards have been identified. Based on assessments of probability and severity, five locations were categorized as high-risk zones: The Gayonggong Swamp Bridge, Hot Water Trail, Sela Crater Trail, Rante Climbing Trail, and the Bayangan–Gede Peak segment. These risks can be mitigated through a hierarchy of controls, including elimination, substitution, administrative controls, engineering controls, and the use of personal protective equipment. With a planned and conservation-based risk management approach, hiking activities in TNGGP can be conducted safely and sustainably, without compromising ecosystem functions or disturbing protected wildlife habitats. Such an approach is crucial for maintaining the delicate balance between conservation objectives and the sustainable use of ecosystem services for nature-based tourism.

Abstract

Indigenous forests in Indonesia are vital ecological and cultural assets, yet they often face legal uncertainty and limited recognition within formal governance systems. To address this, the Regional Regulation of West Kutai Regency Number 6 of 2014 concerning the Protection of Customary Forests, Historical Sites, Flora and Fauna, and Environmental Conservation in West Kutai Regency provides formal recognition and a legal framework for safeguarding indigenous forest management. This study analyzes how the regulation bridges indigenous law with formal governance to ensure the sustainability of the Hemaq Beniung Indigenous Forest in Juaq Asa Village, East Kalimantan. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, drawing on interviews with government officials, indigenous leaders, and forestry stakeholders, as well as document analysis and field observations. The findings show that regional regulation establishes a foundation for protection, supervision, and conservation, while strengthening indigenous rights and community participation. Its implementation has enhanced legal recognition, fostered collaboration between government and communities, and improved conservation outcomes for biodiversity. However, challenges remain, including limited enforcement resources and pressures from illegal logging and forest conversion. This study emphasizes the significance of local regulation as a vital policy instrument for incorporating customary practices into formal governance, thereby enhancing both ecological sustainability and the resilience of indigenous communities.

Abstract

Wild boar (Sus scrofa) plays a crucial role in tropical forest ecosystems but also poses ecological and socio-economic challenges, including crop damage and susceptibility to African swine fever (ASF). This study assessed temporal changes in the relative abundance of wild boars in the core block of the Batutegi Protected Forest Management Unit (KPHL Batutegi), Lampung Province, Indonesia, using camera trap data collected in 2018, 2022, and 2024. A total of 18 camera traps were installed at fixed monitoring points, and all photographs of wild boars were processed to determine independent events (IE) following a ≥ 30-minute interval rule; these IE data were then used to calculate the Relative Abundance Index (RAI). The results revealed substantial temporal fluctuations: RAI was 3.18 in 2018, declined drastically to 0.55 in 2022, likely due to ASF outbreaks, and increased significantly to 7.29 in 2024, indicating potential recovery or adaptation to post-outbreak conditions. Seasonal patterns showed higher activity during drier months, suggesting that rainfall influences foraging behavior and the detectability of animals. Beyond wild boars, camera traps also recorded diverse non-target wildlife, including several threatened species listed in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, emphasizing the ecological significance of the Batutegi Protected Forest. These findings highlight the importance of long-term wildlife monitoring using camera traps to detect population fluctuations, evaluate disease impacts, and inform adaptive management strategies. Continuous observation is essential for balancing wildlife conservation and mitigating human–wildlife conflict in tropical protected forests.
