Abstract

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is a pivotal international climate change mitigation mechanism, with Indonesia being a key implementing country due to its vast tropical forests. Despite significant international investment, the economic viability and effectiveness of REDD+ in achieving its goals are contingent upon the design and implementation of national policies. This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive economic policy analysis of REDD+ implementation in Indonesia, evaluating its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and the equity of its benefit-sharing mechanisms. A policy analysis framework was employed, integrating economic principles with a review of national and sub-national REDD+ policies, regulations, and project implementation documents from 2010 to 2024. The analysis was supplemented by a meta-synthesis of financial reports from REDD+ pilot projects and existing academic literature to assess transaction costs, financial flows, and benefit distribution. The analysis reveals significant economic challenges. High transaction costs, coupled with unclear carbon tenure and property rights, have created substantial inefficiencies and deterred private sector investment. Furthermore, the absence of a consistent national carbon price has undermined the financial incentives for land-use change. Benefit-sharing mechanisms were often found to be ad-hoc, leading to inequitable outcomes that failed to adequately compensate local communities for their opportunity costs. For REDD+ to become an economically viable and effective climate mitigation strategy in Indonesia, significant policy reforms are imperative. Future policies must focus on reducing transaction costs, providing clear and secure carbon tenure, and establishing transparent, equitable, and efficient benefit-sharing mechanisms that reflect the true costs borne by local stakeholders.

Abstract

Conventional remote sensing often fails to capture the full picture of forest health, ignoring the nuanced knowledge of indigenous communities intrinsically linked to the environment. This study's objective was to develop a holistic framework for assessing forest health by integrating indigenous Papuan ethnoforestry knowledge with advanced remote sensing techniques, and analyzing the link to community well-being. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining participatory mapping and interviews (collecting local indicators) with time-series analysis of Landsat imagery (deriving biophysical metrics like NDVI). The findings showed a strong positive correlation between community perception and satellite indices. Crucially, the integrated approach revealed subtle degradation (e.g., loss of culturally significant species) undetectable by remote sensing alone. A direct link was established between this degradation and a decline in community well-being (e.g., access to traditional medicine). This integrated framework provides a more accurate and socially relevant assessment, enhancing monitoring, empowering local communities for co-management, and ensuring sustainable livelihoods.

Abstract

Tropical peatland forests in Central Kalimantan, critical global carbon stores, are severely degraded and now act as major greenhouse gas sources due to drainage and fires. This study aimed to evaluate the ecological effectiveness and climate resilience of Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) for restoring the hydrological functions and biodiversity of these degraded ecosystems. A field experiment was established across 100 hectares, where the ANR method involved canal blocking to rewet the peat and selective planting of native pioneer species, monitored against control plots over five years. The results showed significant and rapid recovery. Canal blocking successfully raised the water table by an average of 40 cm, drastically reducing fire risk. Furthermore, native tree species richness in ANR plots was over 200% higher than controls, with canopy closure reaching 60%. ANR is highly effective, cost-efficient, and climate-resilient, providing a scalable model that prioritizes rewetting and facilitates natural successional pathways to restore critical ecosystem functions and secure long-term carbon storage.

Abstract

The global imperative for low-carbon development necessitates the formal integration of Nature-based Solutions. Mangrove forests, known for their superior carbon sequestration as “Blue Carbon,” offer a crucial asset, yet their economic potential remains severely constrained by valuation and policy standardization issues. This study aimed to develop a standardized Total Economic Valuation (TEV) framework for Indonesian Blue Carbon and analyze the regulatory requirements for its formal inclusion in the national carbon trading policy. A mixed-methods design utilized biophysical data from two major mangrove regions, employing financial modeling (Discounted Cash Flow and Monte Carlo simulations) to calculate TEV, and policy analysis to assess governance readiness. The TEV averaged USD 21,500 ha, nearly three times the carbon-only value, demonstrating the asset’s premium quality and superior financial stability (45% lower IRR volatility). However, a significant governance bottleneck was identified (Policy Alignment Index 65%), primarily due to a centralized Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system and uncertain community benefit sharing, which actively inhibits market entry. Blue Carbon is validated as a high-integrity, de-risked asset, but its realization depends critically on policy intervention, urging the immediate adoption of the TEV framework and the decentralization of MRV to ensure social equity and accelerate climate finance.

Abstract

Biodiversity in Indonesia is large and diverse. This biodiversity is the diversity of plants spread across various regions and forests. Forests themselves have several different types and functions, the most common of which is protected forests. One of the benefits of having protected forests is maintaining the environment and air quality. The reason for the need to conduct a forest habitat inventory. There are several potential areas, especially for plants, which can be utilized in the field of forest conservation.The purpose of this study was to examine the biological conditions and vegetation compilers include: density, frequency, dominance, and importance index in the Jompi Protected Forest, Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. This study used the vegetation analysis method in a single plot measuring 100 x 100 m2, which was divided into 25 subplotst. The study was conducted from January to March 2024. Based on the findings, which encompassed 48 species and 28 families, the two species with the highest Importance Value Index were Tectona grandis (67,58%) and Gluta rengas (47,37%). In contrast to other types, a high Importance Value Index indicates that these species are better adapted to the individual environmental conditions. The level of diversity in the Jompi Protected Forest, based on these values ??is categorized as high with a diversity index (H>3.07) in the Protected Forest area. Furthermore, the abundance index can be categorized as moderately abundant in the seedling phase, E > 0.63) while the abundance index in the tree phase is classified as high with a value (E > 0.67).

Abstract

The rapid expansion of oil palm plantations in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, has precipitated a surge in protracted and often volatile land tenure conflicts between concession holders and local communities. These disputes are frequently rooted in a complex and fragmented legal landscape, where competing claims over land ownership and use rights collide. This study aimed to critically analyze the existing legal framework governing land tenure and concession licensing in West Kalimantan to identify the specific legal ambiguities, contradictions, and gaps that contribute to and perpetuate these conflicts. A qualitative legal framework analysis was conducted. The research systematically reviewed and analyzed a hierarchy of legal instruments, including Indonesia’s Basic Agrarian Law, Forestry Law, and investment regulations, alongside provincial land use policies. This was triangulated with an analysis of customary law (hukum adat) and documentation from 25 land conflict case studies. The analysis reveals a state of legal pluralism fraught with conflict. The primary cause of disputes is the state’s non-recognition of customary land rights (tanah ulayat) within the concession licensing (HGU) process. Significant procedural flaws, including a lack of free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) and inadequate compensation mechanisms, were found to consistently disenfranchise local communities, rendering their claims legally invisible. Endemic land tenure conflicts in West Kalimantan are a direct consequence of a dysfunctional legal framework that fails to recognize and protect community rights. Resolving these disputes necessitates fundamental legal reform, including the formal legal recognition of customary land tenure and the mandatory integration of robust FPIC principles into all stages of the concession licensing process.

Abstract

Global climate imperatives necessitate a transition to a Green Economy, placing Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM) at the forefront. However, existing Social Forestry (SF) schemes frequently prioritize conservation compliance over generating resilient, high-quality livelihoods, leading to persistent community precarity and equity concerns despite high participation rates. This study aims to systematically analyze the quality and stability of green jobs created within SF schemes and, critically, to develop a Green Jobs-Ecological Justice (GJEJ) Framework that links labor outcomes with the ethical tenets of Recognition, Participation, and equitable Distribution. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design (QUAN to QUAL) was employed. The quantitative phase utilized a structured survey (N=450) to map job stability and demographic disparities. This was followed by qualitative case studies at four purposively selected sites (n=80 key informants) to investigate the institutional mechanisms of ecological justice. Findings revealed a 78% participation rate but a low overall Income Stability Index (45.9), concentrated in low-skill, seasonal labor. Inferential analysis demonstrated that the institutional Recognition of Local Ecological Knowledge significantly correlates with reduced income disparity (? = -0.38), whereas deficient Participation mechanisms reinforce existing demographic inequalities, particularly affecting women and youth. The study concludes that SF success is not determined by job volume but by the institutionalization of justice. The GJEJ Framework is proposed as the necessary policy tool to ensure the future of forest management is truly sustainable, resilient, and equitable.

Abstract

Large-scale mining in East Kalimantan leaves severely degraded lands characterized by extreme acidity and chemical toxicity, which critically impede mandatory reforestation efforts often exacerbated by the transient nature of conventional amendments. This study aimed to rigorously quantify the effectiveness of varying biochar dosages on the chemical stabilization of post-mining spoil and the subsequent survival and growth of local pioneer tree species, with the goal of developing an Optimal Biochar Application Protocol. A multi-factorial, randomized complete block design experiment was conducted over 24 months, comparing three biochar dosages (up to 10 \text{ t/ha}) against control and mineral fertilizer plots, supported by a Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). Results demonstrated that the optimal dosage (10 \text{ t/ha}) neutralized the spoil’s \text{pH} from 4.0 to 6.5, doubled the Cation Exchange Capacity (\text{CEC}), and achieved a 92\% plant survival rate (versus 48\% in control plots). The ecologically superior biochar treatment also proved to be 35\% more cost-effective than repetitive mineral fertilization over the study period. The research concludes that biochar provides the durable, holistic, and cost-effective solution, successfully addressing the root cause of reclamation failure. The findings validate the Optimal Biochar Application Protocol, compelling a necessary shift toward sustainable, carbon-sequestering reclamation practices.

Abstract

Jakarta faces a severe Urban Heat Island (UHI) crisis and biodiversity loss, challenges compounded by current greening policies that prioritize aesthetics over functional ecological design. This study addresses the lack of a systematic Urban Forestry Design Methodology tailored for hyper-dense tropical megacities. The primary objective was the development and validation of the Dual-Benefit Urban Forestry (DBUF) Model, a prescriptive, GIS-based tool that simultaneously optimizes micro-climate mitigation and native biodiversity enhancement. The methodology employed a geospatial and computational modeling design, utilizing Landsat imagery to map UHI intensity and correlating it with existing UGI features for diagnostic analysis. The DBUF Model was then simulated and assessed in pilot urban zones. Results demonstrated the DBUF Model’s superior performance: optimized layouts achieved a predicted 3.5^{\circ}C reduction in Land Surface Temperature, significantly outperforming existing UGI’s 0.8^{\circ}C reduction, while concurrently predicting a 60\% increase in native bird species richness. The study concludes that the DBUF Model provides the necessary scientifically rigorous framework to shift policy from opportunistic landscaping to performance-based urban forestry, ensuring maximum functional ecological return from limited urban space.

Abstract

Conservation in the Sumatran Highlands is critically threatened by the continuous simplification of shade-grown coffee (SGC) agroforestry systems into sun-grown monocultures, necessitating an urgent evaluation of the ecological function of complex SGC structures. This study aimed to systematically quantify avian species richness (SR) and functional diversity (FDI) across the coffee land-use gradient to establish the specific structural determinants necessary for developing an Avian-Optimized Agroforestry Protocol (AOAP). A quantitative, gradient-based comparative study utilized the Fixed-Radius Point Count method and meticulous structural measurements across 54 plots. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and multiple linear regression. Results showed that High-Diversity SGC (HD-SGC) plots retained 72\% of avian SR and maintained an FDI (4.1) statistically equivalent to natural forest fragments (4.8), proving their functional viability. Regression confirmed that Shade Tree Basal Area (BA) and Canopy Closure (CC) are the most significant positive predictors of bird diversity (R^2=0.78, p < 0.001). Simplified systems, conversely, registered a steep 40\% drop in SR, confirming their ineffectiveness. The research concludes that the AOAP is validated by confirming that conservation value is determined by structural complexity, not just 'shade.' This compels global certification schemes to adopt precise, performance-based ecological standards using quantitative metrics like BA and CC.
