•
1 like•360 views
This document summarizes a case study on the Gunung Lumut Protection Forest (GLPF) in Indonesian Borneo. The study examined the socioeconomic conditions and natural resource use of communities near the GLPF. It found that the communities rely heavily on forest resources for their livelihoods through activities like farming, hunting, fishing, and collecting forest products. The communities' local knowledge about the landscape and important species can help inform effective management of the protection forest if local stakeholders are actively engaged. The study concludes that involving local institutions and knowledge can help managers address issues like forest encroachment while also meeting community needs.

11.the socio economic effects of community forest management]
This document summarizes a study on the socioeconomic effects of community forest management in Dendi District, Ethiopia. The study found that participatory forest management enhanced livelihoods, conservation efforts, and social assets of local communities. Households participating in forest management had higher incomes and expenditures than non-participating households. Participating households also had more diverse livelihood strategies relying on natural resources like forests, compared to non-participating households who engaged more in wage labor and small businesses. The management approach helped increase forest cover while supporting local livelihoods, indicating it can achieve sustainable forest use.
2 ijfaf jan-2018-2-participatory mapping as a tool
This study was carried out with the aim to contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources through the production of participative maps within forest communities in the Nguti subdivision. Specifically this was to illustrate the existing occupation and traditional tenure of forest lands and identify where conflicts of use or rights already exist or could arise both for national government planning and private investors. Data was collected through focus group discussions, household interview and field data collection with the local population through the use of GPS tablets. Results show that 90.7% of the population have no idea on this participative mapping process; however, 35.19% of the population are very interested in this mapping process as it could serve as a tool to enhance land security while 28% of respondents think it could serve as a tool for boundary clarification. Also 18% consider participative mapping an interesting tool to get good knowledge of an area and plan land use. However, forest is principally used here for farming, hunting and gathering with an average household farm size of 0.35ha per year with just 30% of the non-Timber forest products in this area being exploited. The study also revealed that, conflicts of use and right exist due to government affectations, unclear boundaries and the creation of chiefdoms. Participative mapping has proven to be the better tool for decision making as other tools such as satellite images have caused overlaps in state affectations.

Based on the research result of the data shown that local wisdom can influence the behavior of indigenous people because for them, forests are the storehouses of life, the nature damage could resulting negative consequences for the people themselves. The local wisdom form is customary law and, has forcing characteristic, which is sanctions received in case of violation, so its able to makes them behaving to conserve the forest resources. Then, the indigenous people needs fully support from various parties, especially from the local governments such as infrastructure, in order to make them keep continue to conserve the forest resources
Participatory Forest Management (Pakistan)
Participatory Forest Management (PFM) is a strategy for sustainable forest management that encourages local communities living near forests to manage or co-manage forest resources. PFM aims to involve local stakeholders in decision making for forest management. In the 1980s, governments began decentralizing natural resource management to local institutions to reduce costs, more effectively protect resources and local livelihoods, and increase local responsiveness and efficiency through community participation and skills. PFM strategies include Community Based Forest Management, where villagers fully own and manage village lands, and Joint Forest Management, where government and communities collaboratively manage government forest reserves.

Integrated bamboo + pine homegardens: A unique agroforestry system in Ziro Va...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— Numerous “indigenous” and “traditional” land-use systems that exist in different parts of the world have not yet been properly documented. Considering that many agroforestry systems of today have evolved from such systems, it is important to understand the wisdom of the indigenous communities that have continually been experimenting in their own ways to improve and adapt them for their livelihood. The Apatani eco-cultural landscape in Ziro Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, northeast India signifies an excellent example of such a uniquely distinct natural resource management practice. This agroforestry system developed over the years by innovative efforts involves growing bamboo (Phyllostachys bambusoides Siebold & Zucc.) or pine (Pinus wallichiana A.B. Jacks.) or a mixture of both on their fields. The Apatani is the only tribes in the states that manages such a unique land-use system and are highly conscious of maintaining their heritage and commitment to safeguarding nature and natural resources. By enhancing livelihood security and quality of life, conserving ecosystems, and fostering economic growth, this farmer-developed indigenous agroforestry system stands out as an example of ecosystem protection and natural-resource conservation in Arunachal Pradesh where resource-depleting shifting cultivation is still the mainstay of livelihood. Scientific analyses of the experience gained from this system – could offer lessons of valuable traditional ecological knowledge, which when properly assimilated could be useful in the design of sustainable agroforestry land-use systems.Drivers of Change in the Context of Forests and Food Security and Macro-Level...
This presentation by Henry Neufeldt was given at a session titled "New findings on the dynamics between forests, land use and food security" at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, on December 7, 2014.
The session discussed direct and indirect roles of forests and trees in food systems, the importance of food production systems across the forest-agriculture continuum for food security, dietary diversity and nutrition, and the ensuing implications for land use. The social, economic and environmental synergies and trade-offs between forests and food security and related management interventions, as well as relevant response options will also be discussed. The debate also touched upon questions of sustainable land use under a post-Kyoto climate agreement.

Impact Assessment of Agroforestry Practices on Community Socio-Economic Livel...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Agroforestry is the source of energy for cooking, materials for construction, domestic utensils and other products and services including fruits, medicine, livestock, feeding and fencing. This study aimed to assess the impact of agroforestry practices on community"s socioeconomic livelihoods in Karongi district, western Rwanda. The authors interviewed 45 Agroforestry Practioners (AFP) and 45 Non-Agroforestry Practioners (NAFP) from 8 cells randomly selected between July and September 2019.The data were analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 20. The result, as asserted by 100 % of AFP, the Grevillea robustae was the frequently planted specie on contours and terraces due to its contribution on improving soil fertility and protecting the soil against erosion. The inheritance of land is the main mode of getting lands as mentioned by 69% and 62% of AFP and NAFP, respectively. In addition, it was noted that the number of reared goat, cattle and poultry is higher for the AFP than that of NAFP. Furthermore, the AFP" mean yearly income and its uses (food security, agriculture and household building) is significantly higher (p<0.05) compared to that of NAFP. Thus, in Karongi District, the agroforestry significantly enhances its practioner"s livelihoods. This study can serve as guide to other similar areas in adopting the agroforestry.An analysis on the investment of forestland modelling using the agroforestry...

The participatory management plan is a technical, legal and social device that joins the objectives of biodiversity conservation and the socio-economic needs of local populations. This research work aims to evaluate the impact of Wari-Maro classified forest management plan implementation on the structure and specific diversity of vegetation types. The methodological approach followed is based on the comparison of the dendrometric parameters and plant diversity parameters before and after the management plan implementation. The phytosociological and dendrometric database before the management plan was compiled with data from the forest inventory conducted by PAMF project in 2004 and others work. The forest and phytosociological inventories were carried out on the plots (70) from the forest inventory of PAMF project (2004) following the same methodological principles. The Shannon diversity index decreased from 3.35 ± 0.57 bits in 2004 to 1.98 ± 0.73 bits in 2014. The average density of dbh trees ≥ 10 cm decreased from 740.37 ± 269 , 86 stems / ha in 2004 to 184 ± 100 stems / ha in 2014. The results of the 5% sample matched t-test reveal a non-significant difference between the Shannon Diversity Index of 2004 and of 2014. On the other hand, the results of the sample t-test matched at the 5% threshold, reveal a significant difference between the average density value of 2004 and 2014 for all vegetation types except shrub savannas, fields and fallows. Most of the plant species found before the management plan are still present despite the decreased in individuals’ density.
Comparative Perspectives on Forest Management and Development-Final1
This document provides a comparative analysis of forest management policies in Vietnam and China, and their impact on ethnic minority groups. It discusses how Vietnam transitioned forest ownership from state to private/community control in the 1990s through policies like Forest Land Allocation. While this improved incomes and land access, it also disrupted traditional forest management practices and benefits were not equally distributed. China similarly decentralized forestlands but implementation was haphazard, causing issues like land fragmentation. Case studies of ethnic groups in Vietnam and China show loss of traditional knowledge but some retention of practices, with the state still playing a role in management. The conclusion is that decentralization does not always empower communities and private property regimes have mixed results, but pluralistic, community-based

Forest entitlement and benefit sharing in community forests in nepal final.1Ministry of Forests and Soil Conservation
This document summarizes a study on forest entitlement and benefit sharing in community forests in Nepal. It explores how forest benefits are distributed among community members. The study examines two community forests and finds that over 17 years, timber distribution has remained similar among rich, middle-wealth, and poor households. Poor and minority users have not benefited as much and forest resources have not improved their livelihoods. The challenge is how to equitably share benefits among users in a sustainable way. New distribution mechanisms and access for all users need to be developed to address inequities.Key Determinants of Forest-dependent Guyanese’ Willingness to Contribute to F...
This document summarizes a study that used the contingent valuation method to determine the willingness to accept and willingness to pay of forest-dependent Guyanese for forest protection. The study found that the primary commercial activities in the study sites and respondents' income were the key determinants of willingness to accept and pay. The document asserts that forest communities should be involved in forest management policies and that policies should consider the economic activities and incomes of forest dwellers.

The document discusses non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and their contribution to local communities in Dawro Zone, Ethiopia. It finds that 11 NTFPs are used for subsistence and income, including honey, spices, and forest coffee. Majority of respondents use NTFPs for both home consumption and commercial purposes. However, medicinal plants are seldom used. The study also finds that bamboo is underutilized despite its potential. It recommends efforts to plant utilized species on farms and increase bamboo products to enhance livelihoods.

This document analyzes elements of forest governance in joint forest management systems in Pakistan. It compares the actual forest governance to an ideal model. Key findings include:
- Participation and effectiveness had the largest gaps between actual and ideal governance, while equity had the smallest gap.
- A survey of forest officials, owners, and users found no significant differences in their perceptions of the current governance system.
- A spider diagram visually shows equity is closest to the ideal, while participation is farthest from the ideal.
- Statistical tests found all elements of actual governance to be significantly different from the ideal according to a t-test, rejecting the null hypothesis.

The document summarizes a study on the challenges of decentralized management of the Ngoyla-Mintom Forest Massif in southeast Cameroon. It finds that the Ngoyla-Mintom forest conservation project had overall positive ecological and socioeconomic impacts. Locally, it led to regeneration of flora and repopulation of wildlife. It also improved livelihoods by financing income-generating activities and infrastructure. However, the project also faced some challenges in its ownership by local communities. The study assessed the strengths of the project, including capacity building of local actors, a financing mechanism, and participatory zoning of the forest area.
Forest disturbance
The document reviews various types of natural and anthropogenic forest disturbances, including fires, flooding, wind damage, insects, diseases, and human activities. It discusses the characteristics and impacts of different disturbance agents and recommends integrated pest management and minimizing harmful human disturbances. Control measures are proposed for fires, wild animals, birds, diseases, and pests.
A Future for Social Forestry in the Indonesia and ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)
This document discusses the potential for social forestry in Indonesia and ASEAN. It notes that past forest management policies have failed to guarantee community access and led to degradation, but that social forestry provides communities long-term forest access and improves livelihoods. It outlines social forestry targets and activities in Indonesia, including enterprise development and partnerships around bamboo, silk, agarwood, and rattan. Research, investment, and multistakeholder engagement are needed to ensure sustainable social forestry and value chains that can contribute to ASEAN economic integration goals.

1. The document discusses a study evaluating a forest stewardship program in Mount Arjuna, Indonesia that aims to change local communities' threatening attitudes toward the protected forest.
2. The study finds that local communities engage in illegal wood removal, land use change, charcoal making, and forest fires in the protected area due to seeing it as an open access area with no enforcement of rules.
3. The forest stewardship program involves reforestation and appointing local stewards to care for planted areas in exchange for livestock. However, the integrated economic programs proposed have failed due to incompatibility with local practices or being too complex.
Vulnerabilities of forests and forest dependent people
This document discusses the vulnerability of forest-dependent people and forests to climate change. It notes that over 1 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods, while 1 billion hectares of land are under agroforestry worldwide. Climate change poses direct risks like increased temperatures and wildfires, and indirect risks through impacts on species and ecosystems. Potential transition issues from policies like REDD+ could negatively impact land and tree rights of indigenous groups. The document argues that comprehensive vulnerability assessments are needed using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand all vulnerabilities, include stakeholders, and identify good practices to address risks to forests and forest-dependent communities from climate change.

This document summarizes a study on forest entitlement and benefit sharing in community forests in Nepal. It explores how forest benefits are distributed among community members. The study examines two community forests and finds that over 17 years, timber distribution has remained similar among rich, middle-wealth, and poor households. Poor and minority users have not benefited as much and forest resources have not improved their livelihoods. The challenge is how to equitably share benefits among users in a sustainable way. New distribution mechanisms and access for all users need to be developed to address inequities.Key Determinants of Forest-dependent Guyanese’ Willingness to Contribute to F...
This document summarizes a study that used the contingent valuation method to determine the willingness to accept and willingness to pay of forest-dependent Guyanese for forest protection. The study found that the primary commercial activities in the study sites and respondents' income were the key determinants of willingness to accept and pay. The document asserts that forest communities should be involved in forest management policies and that policies should consider the economic activities and incomes of forest dwellers.

The document summarizes a study on the challenges of decentralized management of the Ngoyla-Mintom Forest Massif in southeast Cameroon. It finds that the Ngoyla-Mintom forest conservation project had overall positive ecological and socioeconomic impacts. Locally, it led to regeneration of flora and repopulation of wildlife. It also improved livelihoods by financing income-generating activities and infrastructure. However, the project also faced some challenges in its ownership by local communities. The study assessed the strengths of the project, including capacity building of local actors, a financing mechanism, and participatory zoning of the forest area.
Forest disturbance
The document reviews various types of natural and anthropogenic forest disturbances, including fires, flooding, wind damage, insects, diseases, and human activities. It discusses the characteristics and impacts of different disturbance agents and recommends integrated pest management and minimizing harmful human disturbances. Control measures are proposed for fires, wild animals, birds, diseases, and pests.
A Future for Social Forestry in the Indonesia and ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)
This document discusses the potential for social forestry in Indonesia and ASEAN. It notes that past forest management policies have failed to guarantee community access and led to degradation, but that social forestry provides communities long-term forest access and improves livelihoods. It outlines social forestry targets and activities in Indonesia, including enterprise development and partnerships around bamboo, silk, agarwood, and rattan. Research, investment, and multistakeholder engagement are needed to ensure sustainable social forestry and value chains that can contribute to ASEAN economic integration goals.

1. The document discusses a study evaluating a forest stewardship program in Mount Arjuna, Indonesia that aims to change local communities' threatening attitudes toward the protected forest.
2. The study finds that local communities engage in illegal wood removal, land use change, charcoal making, and forest fires in the protected area due to seeing it as an open access area with no enforcement of rules.
3. The forest stewardship program involves reforestation and appointing local stewards to care for planted areas in exchange for livestock. However, the integrated economic programs proposed have failed due to incompatibility with local practices or being too complex.
Vulnerabilities of forests and forest dependent people
This document discusses the vulnerability of forest-dependent people and forests to climate change. It notes that over 1 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods, while 1 billion hectares of land are under agroforestry worldwide. Climate change poses direct risks like increased temperatures and wildfires, and indirect risks through impacts on species and ecosystems. Potential transition issues from policies like REDD+ could negatively impact land and tree rights of indigenous groups. The document argues that comprehensive vulnerability assessments are needed using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand all vulnerabilities, include stakeholders, and identify good practices to address risks to forests and forest-dependent communities from climate change.

Non timber forest products a viable option.pdf
This study documents wild edible plants in central Himalaya that have potential for enhancing livelihoods and biodiversity conservation. Several wild fruits were selected and their distribution, phenology, traditional uses, and economic potential were analyzed. Value-added products like juice, squash, jam were prepared from the fruits and cost-benefit analyses revealed they provided high monetary returns. The study provides a framework for participatory conservation of wild edibles through involving local communities, and suggests these resources could link livelihoods with conservation if sustainably utilized.

This document summarizes a study that assessed the influence of socio-economic status on indigenous communities' awareness and attitudes toward forest resource conservation in Akamkpa Local Government Area, Nigeria. The study administered questionnaires to 600 people across 10 communities. Results found that socioeconomic status significantly influences people's awareness, as higher education and income levels correlated with more positive attitudes toward conservation. The study concludes that to promote conservation, measures must address overexploitation of forest resources and improve people's socioeconomic conditions.

The document discusses how land use changes can affect turbidity levels in receiving waters. Agricultural activities like crop production and cattle operations can increase nonpoint pollution and contaminate nearby water through surface runoff and erosion. Areas with annual crops and minimal vegetation cover, such as recently tilled fields in spring, tend to have higher turbidity due to increased runoff and erosion. Wetlands, while effective at removing bacteria, can also increase turbidity by acting as biofilters. Turbidity levels are negatively correlated with forested areas but positively correlated with annual crop coverage and urban land use.
Accommodating the Interest of Local Community in Resolving Conflicts
This document discusses a case study of conflicts between a local community and the government over the development of a wildlife area in Bentayan, South Sumatra, Indonesia. The establishment of the wildlife area restricted the community's access to natural resources they had traditionally used. Several conflict resolution attempts were made but failed to satisfy both parties. The study proposes a new conflict resolution model developed through dialogue between stakeholders to better accommodate the interests of the community and government through the Natural Resources Conservation Center. This model aims to provide a framework for managing forests and wildlife areas that considers the needs of local societies.

Ecological-edaphic and Socio-economic drivers of on-farm tree farming enterpr...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
The biophysical-edaphic and socioeconomic factors do equally influence the on-farm tree farming in the smallholder farming systems. Naturally, neither of the factors do act in isolation, but they are interrelated. The study was carried out in Nsangi sub-county, Wakiso District, 2018. Using the stratified random sampling method based on landholding sizes, a sample of size of sixty households were selected and interviewed. The objectives of the study were to examine the influence of the bio-physical, edaphic and socio-cultural-economic factors onto the performance of the on-farm tree farming enterprise, and to evaluate the farmer's participation in on-farm tree farming activities. The results showed that both ecological-edaphic and socio-cultural-economic factors influence the performance of the tree volume, tree species diversity and tree stand density/ha. There is a negative correlation between size of landholding and farmer's interaction with the on-farm tree farming enterprises. Judging from the results of this study, there is a need for a policy review aimed at devising appropriate socio-cultural-economic and ecological-edaphic practices that promote on-farm tree farming programmes.WFC2015_Paper_Final
1) A study assessed the socio-economic contributions of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) used by communities in Muzarabani district, Zimbabwe. Eleven NTFPs were identified as being actively used, with three - Hyphaene coriaceae leaves, Ziziphus mauritiana fruit, and Adansonia digitata fruit - being commercially traded.
2) These three commercial NTFPs contributed 46% of total annual household income. Ziziphus mauritiana fruit provided the largest income contribution at 56%. Annual household income from selling NTFPs ranged from $4,120 to $10,750.
3) While most NTFPs were used subsistently

In some developing countries, human activities in protected areas threaten wildlife populations and their habitats. This study was conducted to understand the influences of freerange livestock on the wild mammalian population in Baluran National Park, Indonesia. There were 3,852 and 1,156 cows and goats, respectively, and livestock occupied an area of approximately 55.96 km2. The species richness and probability of occupancy in areas with and without livestock were assessed, and the spatial co-occurrence and overlap of daily activity patterns among mammalian species and livestock were measured. A total of 39 camera traps were installed from August 2015 to January 2016, collecting 23,021 independent photographs. In areas with livestock, the number of mammal species (eight) was lower than in areas without livestock (11 species). The most affected species were the large herbivores Bubalus bubalis and Bos javanicus, and a large carnivore Panthera pardus, all of which were absent in areas with livestock. Regardless of the feeding guild, the probability of
occupancy of almost all species declined in areas with livestock, except the medium herbivores Paradoxurus hermaphroditus and Hystrix javanica that showed a higher probability of occupancy. The species whose probability of occupancy declined were the carnivores Cuon alpinus and Prionailurus bengalensis; the herbivores Rusa timorensis, Tracypithecus auratus and Muntiacus muntjak; and the omnivore Sus scrofa. In the presence of livestock, R. timorensis and S. scrofa changed their activities from diurnal to nocturnal. Livestock affected most wild mammals in several ways, including by reducing the species richness, lessening the probability of occupancy and changing the daily activity patterns of many animals. This research recommends a significant reduction in the size of the range area for domestic livestock.Towards sustainable coexistence: People and wild mammals in Baluran National ...
Towards sustainable coexistence: People and wild mammals in Baluran National ...UniversitasGadjahMada
The paper offers a critical discussion of resource use in a national park, Baluran, in Indonesia. In general, an increasing accept of the need for livelihood security, also for people living in or near natural conservation areas, are challenging traditional systems of national park governance. Finding ways to balance the needs of local populations against the necessity to secure biodiversity and environmental sustainability becomes important, and the main question in our research is how to accommodate an existing society in Baluran without a further negative impact on endangered mammals. Based on common pool resource management and co-management theories and thorough empirical investigations among the population living in Baluran, we conclude that alternative solutions exist for combining the interests of livelihood and conservation, but that resolute restrictions must be set by central government authorities, and that local institutions and livelihood practices must be developed based on experiences gained in the region through the last decades. Our findings may have relevance for solving similar problems of coexistence in other conservation areasConservation of forest and wild life 2anuj

Local attitudes and perceptions are important concepts toward wildlife conservation. The success of chimpanzee conservation relies on the perceptions and the willingness of the local population to contribute towards its conservation. This study evaluates the knowledge, attitude and perception of local communities towards chimpanzee conservation in the Tofala Hill Wildlife Sanctuary (THWS) in the Southwest Region of Cameroon. Structured questions based on a questionnaire (open and close ended questions), Focus group discussion and Participatory rapid Appraisal tools and techniques were used to collect information from 300 participants within the participatory age group of 20years and above from six out of 14 villages (Nkong, Bangang, Besali, Bechati, Folepi and Fossimundi) around the THWS. Fifty individuals were sampled from each village and a maximum of 2 individuals (the head of household and one other active participant) participated from each household. Collected data were stored in Microsoft excel spreadsheets 2007 after importation into XLSTAT 2007. 8. 4 statistic software for the different statistical tests. Chi-square test and Spearman correlation were conducted at 0.05 level of significance. The knowledge of interviewees on chimpanzee presence was supported by 90.33% of participants. Local knowledge on the population status of chimpanzee shows that 61% affirmed that their population is reducing primarily due to hunting and habitat loss of poor agriculture. According to 67% of interviewees, benefiting from wildlife through tourism, seed dispersion, bush meat and medicine influenced local attitudes and perception toward chimpanzee conservation while their destructive habits through crop riding, inadequate farmland for agriculture and high income derived from the sales of chimpanzee makes 33% of the local population to change their attitude and perception toward chimpanzee conservation. People with no formal education (62.96%) did not found chimpanzee conservation important whereas more educated people (76.76%) found chimpanzee conservation a priority. Most respondents (57.04%) said the idea of chimpanzee conservation was not supported due to high income (15,500FCFA) generated from the sales of chimpanzee. Increasing public awareness of the benefits and values of chimpanzee conservation through media (radios, televisions and smart phones), handbills, bill boards, seminars and symposiums, and films could help mitigate the poor attitudes of the local population towards chimpanzee conservation. Instigating outreach programs to communities living in close proximity to chimpanzee and other wildlife species is often high on the agenda of conservation NGOs with the assumption that long-term change can best be achieved through accelerating change in societal attitudes towards wildlife.

Forests are an important natural resource in Ethiopia, providing materials, ecosystem services, and supporting the livelihoods of many. However, Ethiopia's forest cover has declined significantly over time due to population growth and unsustainable use. Forest policy and legislation aim to manage this valuable resource sustainably by outlining principles and plans for forest conservation, protection, management, and utilization, as well as related industries, in order to maximize benefits for society while preserving forests for future generations. An effective forest policy provides guidance for government agencies and helps coordinate decision-making across sectors to balance forest conservation with community development needs.

Socio-Economic Contributions of Forest Products to Rural Livelihood: A Case S...Journal of Agriculture and Crops
In the past, conservation effort has primarily focused on establishment of forest reserves for timber production, with minimal or no consideration to how these natural resources will help sustain or improve livelihoods of adjoining communities. This study examined the contribution of Aramoko forest reserve to the livelihoods of the adjoining communities in Ekiti State. One hundred and twenty pre-tested questionnaires were administered among the products collectors in the study area. Data collected were analysed and the result showed that 78.3 % of the respondents are married with 52.3 % of them male, while 50.8 % of the respondents aged between 51-70 years with 64.1 % having at least secondary education. Twenty-five (25) different products were collected by the respondents in the study area. These products include among others; timber with highest frequency of (120) followed by herbal plants (115), Archantina marginata (105), Thaumatococcus danielli (89), Bridelia ferruginea (70) and Irvingia garbonensis (65). The use of motor cycle accounted for 41.4 % of the respondents means of transportation, while 31.3 % of the respondents sell their product in bit at the village market. Picking, digging, plucking, cutting and uprooting were methods used for harvesting by the respondents while illegal felling (24 %) and indiscriminate bush burning (22.4 %) were the major conservation problem in the study area. Specifically, some of the products harvested are used for food, medicine, fuelwood, herbs and cultural purposes. The study recommends that research should be conducted into how these products can be artificially raised in the nursery for plantation establishment.Sustainability of natural resource management
This document summarizes research on natural resource management strategies in northern Ghana. It finds that both informal, traditional strategies and formal strategies are important for sustainability. Traditional strategies emphasized respect for nature and prohibiting overexploitation through spiritual beliefs and rules passed down over generations. However, population growth is depleting resources. The research concludes that local and formal/modern knowledge systems must collaborate continuously to address resource depletion through mutually reinforcing laws and management practices. A combination of ethnographic research methods and surveys were used to understand perspectives of local experts and community members.
Ethno-ecological importance of plant biodiversity in mountain ecosystems with...
Mountain ecosystems support a high biological diversity and a large number of endangered plant species
many of which are ecological indicators of those specific habitats. The Himalayas are the world’s youngest,
highest and largest mountain range and support a high plant biodiversity. People living in this region
use their traditional ecological knowledge to utilize local natural resources and hence have valuable
understanding about their surroundings. Many areas within this region still remain poorly known for
their floristic diversity, plant species distribution and vegetation ecosystem services, yet the indigenous
people depend heavily upon local plant resources and, through unsustainable use, can cause an
irreversible loss of plant species. The valley used in this study is typical of such areas and occupies
a distinctive geographical location on the edge of the western Himalayan range, close to the Hindu
Kush range to the west and the Karakorum Mountains to the north. It is also located on geological
and climatic divides, which further add to its ecological interest. This paper focuses on (i) identification
of ecological indicators at various elevation zones across an altitudinal range of 2450–4100 m and
(ii) recognition of social perceptions of plant species populations based on the ecosystem services that
they provide. We used robust approaches to identify the plant indicator species of various elevation
zones. Using phytosociological techniques, Importance Values (IVs) for each plant species were calculated.
The statistical package PCORDS was used to evaluate the species area curves and indicator species
for each elevation zone. Data attribute plots derived from Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) using
CANOCO were deployed to illustrate the location of indicator species in each habitat type. Furthermore,
the social perceptions of the local inhabitants as to whether the populations of the recorded species
were increasing or decreasing over the recent past were recorded. We argue that the assessment of
ecological indicators combined with the ecological knowledge of the indigenous population can assist
in developing priorities for local and regional conservation strategies, especially for fragile mountain
ecosystems.

This document summarizes a study on community attitudes toward forestry-related environmental issues (FREI) in Osun State, Nigeria. The study aimed to assess these attitudes to strengthen the use of mass media in raising awareness. Data was collected through surveys in 3 local government areas. The results showed that 75% of respondents agreed it is important to consider FREI for environmental balance, while 60% saw FREI as a mere threat that cannot impact the environment. This suggests community awareness of forestry issues is low. The study concludes mass media could help disseminate environmental information but currently does little beyond incidental reporting. Improved coordination between media and government agencies is needed to support sustainable livelihoods through increased community

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance.

Local knowledge to inform effective management of protection forests: a case study from Indonesian Borneo
- 1. Local knowledge to inform effective management of protection forests: a case study from Indonesian Borneo Imam Basuki, Michael Padmanaba, Murniati 14th Conference of the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC)
- 2. Background Gunung Lumut Protection Forest (GLPF; one of 494 in Indonesia) is still under heavy pressure from forest encroachments. Conflicts between GLPF, logging concessionaire and local people. Lack of information on biodiversity, local livelihoods and socio-cultural. No proper management plan or board has been made since designation of GLPF in 1983.
- 3. Objectives To examine the socio-economic condition of the communities in and around the GLPF. To examine the local utilization of landscapes and natural resources. To Estimate the value of the natural resources being used by the local communities.
- 4. Research Site The area was a production forest (1970- 1983 and then reserved as Gunung Lumut Protection Forest (GLPF). Inhabited by more than 15.000 people in 15 villages. The study was conducted in two settlement sites located around and within the GLPF, i.e. Rantau Layung Village and Mului Sub- Village. Both sites are located in Pasir District, East Kalimantan Province. Rantau Layung Village is inhabited by 50 households or 217 people with a population density about 1 person/km2. Mului is inhabited by 18 HH and 121 people.
- 5. Research Site The dominant ethnic is Paser and most of them are indigenous people who didn’t finish elementary school. Customary law was still applied in the daily life, especially in managing natural resources, like Alas Tuo, Alas Adat, Alas Nareng and Alas Mori. People cultivate upland rice, hunting, fishing and collecting rattan, fruits, vegetables and honey. They did small-scale logging.
- 7. Methods The primary data were collected through general observation, participatory mapping of land-types and natural resource, scoring exercises, focus group discussions (FGD), household and key-informant personal interviews. The secondary data consisted of demographic (population related ethnic composition), education level, public facilities and land use systems.
- 8. Methods Data on community perspectives, including score or rank, on importance of landscape and products were recorded and tabulated. • Each importance’ score was expressed as percentage. Each score was always accompanied by explanation provided by the people. • Among other perspectives, the top ten importance species of plants and animals from the forests was described in a series and was valued using LUVI (Sheil et al., 2003).
- 9. Identified land types in Rantau Layung and Mului, including their characteristics
- 10. Land types importance (mean value) for all groups in Rantau Layung
- 11. Land types importance (mean value) for all groups in Mului
- 12. Knowledge on distribution of natural resources The GLPF management may consider these sites as key biodiversity areas since most of them are located within and around protected areas. Springs, mountain and riverbanks are among these special areas.
- 16. Land types importance (mean value) for all groups
- 17. Forest types importance (mean value) for all groups
- 18. Product source importance (mean value) for all groups
- 21. Implication to Policy on Protection Forest Management Forest resource are locally considered to be more important than most other landscapes active participation of local stakeholders will support formal forest management. Local institutions (and knowledge) can be great allies for the managers of protection forest. -- People may be “part of the problem” but must also be “part of the solution --”
