The objective of this study was to elaborate a management model proposal for the prevention of forest fires in the plantation of Pinus radiata located in the community of Ganquis. The approach of the management model proposal started with a forest inventory and the subsequent identification of the threats and vulnerabilities of the plantation and community. Once the information was collected, next step consisted in determining the indexes of risks to forest fires for which an adaptation was made of the methodology proposed by Sun Mountain International for the analysis of vulnerability at the municipal level raised by UNDP. The results obtained were a historical analysis of the forest fires at the province level in Chimborazo, an inventory of the volume of wood existing in the plantation and 9 potential threats and 10 vulnerabilities at the community of Ganquis and at the plantation of Pinus radiata sorrounding it. With these results the proposal of the management model for the prevention of forest fires was carried out, which has 3 guidelines that are directed to the formation of community fire brigades, prevention actions and establishment of response procedures. It is recommended that at the institutional level a system of forest fire registry be standardized in order to generate the necessary information to carry out more detailed studies on forest fires and their incidence on various natural resources.

As I get older, happiness ceases to be tied to simple materialistic things, but rather to intangibles such as the opportunity to interact with the forest environment. Learning good behavior patterns as a user of our natural resources brings me many joyful moments. Sufficient access is an important matter for me personally.The consumptive users of wildlife are most often accused of lacking self-restraint, but they are not breaking any existing rules. It is not their fault that reasonable game laws and a flexible licensing system does not exist. Access restrictions directed at this group are counter productive, since they penalize nonconsumptive users, thereby leading to poor public relations. Key words: Wildlife management.

Moose in northern Ontario represent a classic case of competition for a natural resource. Some people hunt them; others enjoy moose-watching; timber companies alter their habitat. In addition, over much of northern Ontario wolves require moose as food.Moose populations have declined in Ontario by about 35% over the last 20 years. Scientific evidence does not conclusively identify the reason for the decline and the interest groups usually blame each other. Solutions to the problem are fraught with the difficulties inherent in all natural resources management. Lack of hard data, political considerations, and an incomplete understanding of how northern ecosystems operate make management decisions difficult. The purpose of this paper is to assemble the available facts, outline how decisions on management activities were made, and comment on timber harvest and its effect on the management problem. Key words: moose, forestry, wildlife management.

Too much of wildlife management is today still more of an art than a science. Turning the art into a much- needed predictive science requires including research in the management process. The key to the process is developing an appropriate model of how the wildlife system responds to management actions, applying the actions, monitoring the outcomes, and using this to improve the management model. Extrapolating management outcomes to different wildlife areas requires the development of theory, as illustrated by a range of examples.

The  Bali Province Regulation No. 3 2001 Article 10 paragraph (1)  stated that village income is one of the other legitimate income. In the article there is uncertainty in the meaning of Article 10 paragraph (1) letter e, because in the explanation clause there is no further explanation about “other legitimate income”. Traditional villages use natural resources in their area such as tourist areas as village income. In the Presidential Regulation No. 87 of 2016 about the Illegal Levy Eradication Task Force, the levies carried out by Pakraman village against retribution to tourist areas are categorized as illegal levies by the task force teams as happened at the sunrise beach. This study aims to understand and explore the legal protection within the levies carried out on tourism objects and the urgency of the legal protection for Pakraman village to collect retribution from tourist attractions in the area of ??Pakraman village or adat village. This study used normative legal research methods. The results of this study are based on Act No. 28 of 2009 concerning Regional Taxes and Regional Retributions, stated that for tourist area entrance fees are regulated in Article 127 (i), which should be managed by the regional government, because it is a statutory mandate.. For example 2 tourist attractions, Tanah Lot in Tabanan and Taman Ayun in Badung. This management model is needed by the government and Pakraman village to avoid indications of extortion. The urgency of the legal regulation here is very much needed by Adat village. Dalam Perda Provinsi Bali No 3 2001 Pasal 10 ayat (1) telah disebutkan bahwa pendapatan desa salah satunya adalah pendapatan lainnya yang sah. Dalam pasal tersebut  terjadi ketidakjelasan makna dalam Pasal 10 ayat (1) huruf e, karena dilihat dalam penjelasannya tidak ada penjelasan lebih lanjut dengan apa yang dinamakan pendapatan lain yang sah. Desa adat memanfaatkan sumber daya alam yang ada di daerahnya seperti kawasan wisata sebagai pendapatan desa. Dalam Peraturan presiden No 87 tahun 2016 tentang Satuan Tugas Sapu Bersih Dan Pungutan Liar, pungutan yang dilakukan oleh desa Pakraman terhadap retribusi masuk kawasan wisata dikategorikan sebagai pungutan liar oleh tim saber pungli seperti yang terjadi di pantai matahari terbit.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami dan mendalami payung hukum dalam pungutan yang dilakukan pada obyek pariwisata dan urgensi dari payung hukum bagi desa Pakraman untuk melakukan pemungutan retribusi masuk kawasan obyek wisata yang ada di kawasan desa Pakraman atau desa adat. Penelitian ini mengunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah dilihat dari Undang - Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2009 tentang Pajak Daerah dan Retribusi Daerah bahwa untuk pungutan masuk kawasan wisata sudah diatur dalam Pasal 127 huruf i, yang seharusnya dikelola oleh pemerintah daerah karena merupakan mandat peraturan perundang- undangan. Mengambil contoh 2 tempat wisata yaitu Tanah Lot yang ada di Kabupaten Tabanan dan Taman Ayun yang berada di wilayah Kabupaten Badung. Model pengelolaan seperti ini lah yang diperlukan oleh pemerintah dan desa Pakraman untuk menghindari indikasi Pungli. Urgensi payung hukum disini sangat diperlukan oleh desa adat.
