Abstract

Vegetation and temperature are biophysical parameters that affect sea turtle nesting behavior. Coastal vegetation is essential to the nesting behavior of Loggerhead sea turtles. In contrast to Hawksbill sea turtles, Loggerhead sea turtles preferentially select sandy beaches for nesting. The study aimed to measure the impact of vegetation and temperature on sea turtle nesting behaviors and to offer detailed insights on adaptation and enhanced conservation techniques to save sea turtles from environmental changes. The study was performed on Popaya Island, within the Nature Reserve of Mas Popaya Raja Island, North Gorontalo, from January to March 2023. Identification of population and sample using the purposive sampling method for all turtles observed throughout the observation phase. The findings indicated that Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) favored nesting in locations characterized by greater plant diversity and density, averaging 195 eggs per nest. Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) deposited a comparatively lower number of eggs (88 eggs) than at other locations (96 - 108 eggs). Some eggs were found in places with no surrounding vegetation. The nesting activity of loggerheads in non-vegetated regions may have been affected by the shallowness of the holes and their comparatively broader width. The sand surface temperature in areas with dense flora and biodiversity decreases, impacting egg-laying activity as one moves further from the vegetation's border.

Abstract

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) have long been integral to the livelihoods of rural communities, providing essential resources for food, medicine, income, and cultural practices. Despite their importance, the role of NTFPs in improving rural welfare is often underexplored in scientific research. Understanding their contribution is critical for sustainable development and rural poverty alleviation. This study aims to assess the role of NTFPs in the livelihoods of rural populations, exploring their economic, social, and environmental significance. It further seeks to identify the challenges and opportunities surrounding the sustainable use of these resources. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with local communities and quantitative data collection through surveys. Fieldwork was conducted in selected rural areas where NTFPs are a key resource. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Findings reveal that NTFPs significantly contribute to household income, particularly in communities with limited access to formal employment. They also play a vital role in maintaining cultural practices and providing food security. However, overharvesting and inadequate policy frameworks threaten their sustainability. NTFPs are crucial for rural livelihoods, but their continued availability depends on effective management strategies that balance economic needs with environmental conservation. Policy interventions should focus on promoting sustainable harvesting practices and supporting local communities in managing these resources.

Abstract

The rapid depletion of forest ecosystems worldwide has led to an increasing need for sustainable forest management practices. One promising approach to incentivize conservation efforts is the implementation of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) programs. PES aims to financially reward individuals or communities who provide ecological services, such as maintaining forest cover, conserving biodiversity, and improving water quality. Despite growing interest in PES, its effectiveness as a tool for sustainable forest management remains an area of active research. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PES programs in promoting sustainable forest management and enhancing the livelihoods of local communities. Specifically, the research examines the impact of PES on forest conservation practices, economic benefits for participants, and the long-term sustainability of forest ecosystems. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining both qualitative and quantitative data. Surveys were conducted with 150 households involved in PES programs across three forest regions. In-depth interviews with local stakeholders, including forest managers, government officials, and community leaders, were also carried out. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to assess the outcomes of PES programs. The findings suggest that PES programs have led to increased forest conservation efforts, improved local livelihoods, and greater awareness of ecosystem services. However, challenges such as inadequate funding, lack of technical support, and limited participation of marginalized groups were identified as barriers to full program effectiveness. PES programs can be a viable tool for sustainable forest management, provided that they are properly funded, inclusive, and supported by strong governance frameworks. Long-term success will depend on overcoming existing challenges and ensuring equitable participation.

Abstract

Forest fires are a significant environmental issue, especially in tropical regions, where they have been known to disrupt ecosystems and hinder sustainable timber production. The increasing frequency and intensity of forest fires, driven by both natural causes and human activity, pose a major threat to forest health and biodiversity. Additionally, the economic impact on the timber industry is profound, with fires damaging forests, destroying timber resources, and reducing overall timber yields. This study investigates the effects of forest fires on timber production and forest ecosystems, focusing on their long-term consequences. This research aims to assess the impact of forest fires on timber production, as well as the broader effects on forest ecosystems, including biodiversity loss, soil degradation, and carbon emissions. The study also seeks to explore potential mitigation strategies for reducing fire risks and promoting the recovery of forest ecosystems post-fire. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining remote sensing data, field surveys, and interviews with forestry experts and local communities. The study analyzed fire-affected areas in Southeast Asia, comparing timber production data before and after fire events. Ecological indicators, such as species diversity and soil quality, were also measured to assess the impact on the forest ecosystem. The findings show a significant decline in timber production following forest fires, with affected areas showing reduced growth rates and a lower timber yield in the years after the fire. Forest ecosystems also experienced biodiversity loss, with long-term degradation of soil quality and carbon sequestration capacity. Forest fires have a substantial negative impact on both timber production and forest ecosystems. Effective fire management strategies are crucial for minimizing damage and supporting the recovery of forest resources and biodiversity.

Abstract

The increasing global demand for timber and forest products has raised concerns about unsustainable forest practices, resulting in deforestation, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation. Certification programs, such as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), have emerged as tools to promote sustainable forest management (SFM). These certifications aim to ensure that forests are managed in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable manner. However, the effectiveness of certification in achieving these goals remains a topic of ongoing debate. This research aims to evaluate the role of forest certification programs in promoting sustainable forest management. Specifically, it investigates the impact of certification on forest practices, local communities, and the broader forest industry. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining qualitative interviews with forest managers, certification bodies, and local stakeholders, alongside quantitative analysis of forest management data in certified versus non-certified forests. Data were collected from various regions, including Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe. The findings reveal that certification programs positively influence forest management practices, leading to improved biodiversity conservation, better forest regeneration, and increased stakeholder engagement. However, challenges such as high certification costs, lack of awareness, and insufficient enforcement were identified as barriers to achieving full potential. Certification programs play a significant role in promoting sustainable forest management, though further efforts are needed to address barriers and enhance the inclusivity and effectiveness of these programs.
