Pinus Merkusii

Abstract The genus Pinus is classified as one of the most widely distributed genera of conifer trees, that are majorly distributed in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Pinus merkusii is the only member of the genus Pinus that is adapted in the tropics and grows naturally in south Equator. Its natural distribution found through-out Southeast Asia, e.g. in Indonesia; particularly on Sumatran Island. Three native strains are known on Sumatra: Aceh, Kerinci, and Tapanuli; with the first one is known as the largest population among the three and grows naturally on the high altitudes. The wood has been utilized in building construction, while the resin collected is classified as one of the most valuable Non Timber Forest Products (NTFP) worth up to US $ 50 million/year and applied in many industries. Planting of citron grass (Cymbopogon sp.) has been ’booming’ over the past seven years in the middle regions of Aceh due to its attractive selling price. As consequences, many Pinus trees have been logged and demanded as fire woods in the distillation process of citron grass. Thus, the citron grass’ plantation has been directly threatening the existence of Pinus forests. Therefore, in-situ conservation effort should be started from now on. Here, we would like to report the morphological variation (N= 15 traits) of natural Pinus (e.g., plant height, diameter of main stem, number of crowns per branch, etc.). The morphological data collected were then analysed with the Principal Component Analyses (PCA), in order to cluster the major agronomical parameters among them. This morphological data would be complemented and benefitted the efforts in the genetic study of Aceh Pinus.

Pinus Merkusii

Desa Uwemanje terletak pada ketinggian >400 m dpl dan merupakan salah satu desa berpotensi di lereng pegunungan Gawalise. Karena berada di pegunungan maka desa ini memiliki topografi berbukit terjal dimana sebagian besar lahan memiliki tingkat kemiringan lereng lebih dari 40%, sehingga praktek pertanian termasuk agroforestri di desa ini sangat rawan terhadap erosi dan degradasi lahan lainnya. Komoditas utama terpenting di desa ini adalah Hasil Hutan Bukan Kayu seperti tegakan tusam yang telah berumur lebih dari 35 tahun dan merupakan hasil reboisasi oleh Dinas Kehutanan Kabupaten Donggala pada lahan kritis yang berada di desa ini. Tegakan tusam berperan penting dalam konservasi tanah dan penyimpan air (water reservoir) bagi sumber mata air. Namun, kondisinya saat ini sangat mengkhawatirkan, selain berumur tua, tegakan tusam banyak mati karena diserang oleh hama dan patogen. Salah satu kegiatan dalam program Ipteks Bagi Desa Mitra (IbDM) ini adalah pembibitan tusam (Pinus merkusii Jungh & de Vriese) bekerjasama dengan mitra tiga kelompok tani hutan di desa tersebut. Bibit tusam dari pembibitan ini diharapkan menjadi pengganti tegakan tusam yang telah tua atau akan ditanam pada lahan-lahan kritis yang masih luas di desa ini. Oleh karena itu, dalam rangka peningkatan pendapatan masyarakat serta usaha konservasi hutan dan perlindungan tanah dan air di desa ini, perlu dilakukan program pengabdian dalam hal teknik pembibitan tusam bagi anggota kelompok tani hutan tersebut. Metode-metode pendekatan yang ditawarkan dalam kegiatan ini adalah dalam bentuk pendidikan dan pelatihan bagi anggota kelompok tani mitra dengan menggunakan metode penyuluhan dan pendampingan yang berupa bimbingan teknis dan pembinaan kelompok tani dalam pembibitan tusam. Hasil pelaksanaan program yang telah dilaksanakan yaitu tersedianya ±3000 bibit tusam yang berkualitas yang siap ditanam oleh para anggota kelompok tani dan areal pembibitan tusam bagi kelompok tani. Selain itu, terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan anggota kelompok tani hutan terutama dalam hal teknik pembibitan tusam.[The village of Uwemanje lies at an altitude of >400 m asl and is one of the potential villages on the slopes of the Gawalise mountains. Because it is located in the mountains, the village has a steep hilly topography where most of the land has a slope of more than 40%, so agricultural practices including agroforestry in this village are very vulnerable to erosion and other land degradation. The most important commodities in this village are Non-Timber Forest Products such as pine (Pinus merkusii Jungh & de Vriese) stands that have been more than 35 years old, and are the result of reforestation by the Forestry Service of Donggala District on the critical land located in this village. Pine stand plays an important role in soil conservation and water reservoir (water reservoir). However, the pine trees current condition is very worrying, in addition to old age, many pine trees die because of being attacked by pests and pathogens. One of the activities in science and technology program for Desa Mitra (IbDM) is a tusam nursery in collaboration with partners of three forest farmer groups in the village. The pine seedlings are expected to be a substitute for old pine stands or to be planted on the vast critical lands in the village. Therefore, in order to increase community income and forest conservation and soil and water protection in this village, it is necessary to do devotion program in the technique of pine nursery for members of forest farmer group. The methods of approach offered in this activity are in the form of education and training for members of partner farmer groups by using counseling and mentoring methods in the form of technical guidance and guidance of farmer groups in pine nurseries. The results of the implementation of the program that has been implemented is the availability of ± 3000 pine seedlings that are ready to be planted by members of farmer groups and pine nursery areas for farmer groups. In addition, there is an increased knowledge and skills of members of forest farmer groups, especially in terms of pine nursery techniques.]

Abstrak: Perkebunan damar yang berada di Kabupaten Pesisir Barat ini adalah perkebunan rakyat yang diusahakan secara turun-temurun, bahkan ada yang mencapai usia 70 tahun dan kawasan Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan (TNBBS). Menurut Dinas Perindustrian Lampung Barat di Krui terdapat sekitar 1.750.000 pohon damar produktif dengan luas 17.500 ha. Getah damar menjadi komoditas unggulan Lampung dari Hasil Hutan Bukan Kayu (HHBK). Budidaya damar punya dua manfaat sekaligus yaitu pelestarian hutan dan ekonomi. Getah damar mata kucing banyak digunakan untuk bahan emulsi (campuran) pewarna, cat, tinta, aromatik untuk makanan, bahkan juga untuk kosmetik dan lain sebagainya. Metode yang digunakan dalam artikel ini adalah studi dokumentasi dengan menelaah atau mengkaji beberapa teori dan artikel yang berhubungan dengan Damar Mata Kucing. Pihak masyarakat sangat menantikan inovasi dari berbagai pihak yang melibatkan masyarakat dan menguntungkan daya jual damar. Inovasi yang saat ini diharapkan oleh petani adalah alat pengolah damar menjadi bahan setengah jadi sehingga harga jual akan lebih tinggi yang berdampak kepada pendapatan masyarakat. Optimalisasi obyek wisata Hutan damar perlu ditingkatkan dengan memberikan papan informasi edukatif, sejarah dan gambar penunjang lainnya.   Abstract: This damar plantation in Pesisir Barat Regency is a community plantation that has been cultivated from generation to generation, some even reached the age of 70 and the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (TNBBS) area. According to the West Lampung Industry Service in Krui there are about 1,750,000 productive resin trees covering an area of ​​17,500 ha. Dammar sap is Lampung's leading commodity from Non-Timber Forest Products (HHBK). The cultivation of resin has two benefits, namely forest conservation and the economy. Cat's eye resin is widely used for emulsion (mixture) of dyes, paints, inks, aromatics for food, even for cosmetics and so on. The method used in this article is a documentary study by examining or examining several theories and articles related to cat's eye resin. The community is looking forward to innovations from various parties that involve the community and benefit the selling power of resin. The innovation that is currently expected by farmers is a means of processing resin into semi-finished materials so that the selling price will be higher which will have an impact on people's income. Optimization of the Damar Forest tourism object needs to be improved by providing educational information boards, history and other supporting images.

Non Timber Forest Products

Abstract The province of Aceh at the northern tip of Sumatra has a total area of 5,75 million hectares. Its forest resources are considerably extensive as 60% of its total land area is still considered as ‘forest area’. Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) are defined as any wild plant and animal products harvested from forests, e.g., ‘jernang’ or dragon blood (Daemonorops spp.). It is classified as one of the valuable NTFP’s harvested from the forests in Aceh. Its morphological features resemble that of rattan (Calamus spp.), both of which belong to Aracaceae. The red resin of Daemonorops spp. is highly valued in Chinese medicine and possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-hemostatic properties. Almost 112 species of Daemonorops spp. exist. However, only 10% produces the red resin. Daemonorops draco, D. mattanensis, D. didymophylla are considered to have significant economic values. Over the past decade, a farmer living in central and western Aceh has cultivated dragon blood plants in small farms and sold the seedlings. In this study, the morphological variations of dragon blood (N=11) from Kuta Panang in central Aceh were assessed, and the Principal Component Analyses (PCA) were applied in order to distinguish the three species. Up to 92% of total variations were significantly explained with PC1, while the remaining were explained with PC2. Among the three species measured with PCA, Daemonorops draco or known as super ‘jernang’, appeared to have more distinctive morphological characteristics, e.g., fruit-, and stem diameter, as well as a number of fruit per trunk. These characteristics would contribute to better yield and field performance.

Protected Areas (PAs) are created for the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, but many of Ghana’s PAs are subjectto severe pressures and threats, the main pressures being the illegal extraction of natural resources. Rattans are indisputablyone of the most important Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) in Ghana’s Protected Areas that is without doubt one of thereasons for which it has drawn the attention of researchers. In this study the illegal rattan extraction patterns in the AnkasaConservation Area (ACA) in Ghana was inspected. Simple random sampling and Snowball sampling techniques were used. Datacollection employed the use of semi-structured questionnaires, interviews and field enumeration of rattans as well as an analysisof Effective Patrol Man-days (EPMDS) from 2004 to 2012. The results showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.75, p<0.05, r2 = 0.557) between patrol effort and rattan extraction encounters. In addition, there was a general reduction in illegalrattan extraction encounters from 2004 to 2012 at a rate of 4.3 per year. The highest illegal rattan extraction incidences wererecorded in 2006 (76 encounters), 2005 (35 encounters), 2008 (22 encounters), 2004 (18 encounters) and the least incidencewere recorded in both 2010 (3 encounters) and 2011 (3 encounters).The research also revealed that Eremospatha macrocarpawas the most extracted rattan species followed by Laccosperma secundiflorum. The major rattan extraction and trade routesoriginate in the northern parts and in the area east of the reserve and also south of Draw River Forest Reserve. Generally, rattanpoaching in Ankasa Conservation Area has declined, but there are still human incursions in the northern part of the reserve. Thestudy recommended an intensification of patrols in the north of the reserve. Also, enrichment planting and Agroforestry practicesof inter-cropping rattans with seasonal crops should be pursued vigorously for the local communities.

This study sought to: (1) identify the types and sources of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) traded; (2) find the frequencyof the NTFPs trade and (3) identify the challenges in NTFPs trading in the Sunyani Municipality. The survey was carried outfrom February, 2014 to April, 2014 mainly at the Sunyani Central and Nana Bosoma Markets in the Sunyani Municipality. Thetarget population comprised NTFPs collectors (gatherers), sellers and consumers. Respondents were purposively sampled. Atotal of 100 respondents were engaged in this study. The NTFPs were grouped into six categories namely; food, medicine,building materials, packaging materials, artefacts and domestic utensils. Key informants’ interviews were also conducted atthe Sunyani Forest Services Division to triangulate the data already gathered. Statistical Package for Social Sciences was usedto analyze the data obtained. The study demonstrated that domestic utensils (37%), food (33%), medicinal products (12%),packaging materials (9%), artefacts (6%) and building materials (3%) were the types of NTFPs traded in the two market centers.The results also showed that majority of the respondents (77%) harvest their NTFPs from forest lands as against 23% whoharvest from communal lands. A significant proportion of the respondents (52%) traded in above 40 kg of NTFPs and only 4%were seen trading in 10 kg of NTFPs. The study further highlighted that food (28%) and domestic utensils (26%) were regularlybrought to the market centers on weekly basis whilst significant proportions of medicinal products (9%), building materials(3%) and artefacts (4%) were brought to the market venues on monthly basis. Cumbersome permit procedure (40%), increasedmarket demand (15%) and financial constraints (20%) were identified as some of the challenges encountered in NTFPs tradingin the Sunyani Municipality. To ensure strict monitoring and sustainability of the resource, there is the need for sensitizationprogramme on the importance of NTFPs in rural livelihood and why their conservation is vital in meeting the needs of thepresent generation whilst not undermining their potential in supplying the needs of future generations.
