Local communities have their own means of maintaining their traditional know-ledge and sustaining the production system of natural resources by designating the resources as sacred. Without the state's influence, local people have their own strategies to conserve the environment and resources, in ways which are more effective than those enforced by the state. A study done through interview, participatory observation, and ethnographic methods revealed that local people recognized two models of natural resources conservation. The first model is the designation of forests as sacred site, aiming at maintaining the sustainability of ecosystem and the second model refers to adoption of species as a sacred entity to sustain production system. Dynamic processes are operating in the sacredness of both forest and species.

Penelitian dilakukan pada tahun 2004 - 2006 di Danau Semayang dan Muara Kaman (bagian dari Sungai Mahakam), Kalimantan Timur, melalui survei lapangan dan wawancara langsung dengan nelayan, masyarakat, dan Dinas Perikanan, Dinas Perlindungan Hutan dan Pelestarian Alam. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penyebaran secara spasial, status pemanfaatan, dan upaya konservasi pesut Mahakam (Orcaella brevirostris). Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa distribusi pesut Mahakam secara spasial terdapat di Muara Kaman, Muara Sungai Pela Kecil, muara Sungai Pela Besar, Danau Semayang, dan Danau Melintang. Pada saat ini, pesut Mahakam di Sungai Mahakam digunakan sebagai wisata air bagi turis domestik maupun luar negeri. Upaya konservasi pesut Mahakan dapat dilakukan melalui perlindungan habitat dari pencemaran dan pendangkalan, perlindungan suaka perikanan yang berfungsi untuk penyedia makanan alami serta meningkatkan peran aktif masyarakat agar turut menjaga kelestarian pesut. This study was conducted during 2004 to 2006 in Semayang and Melintang Lakes, Mahakam segment around Muara Kaman River of East Kalimantan, through field survey methods, and directly interview to respective respondens of fishers, local people, Fisheries Regency Departement and Forest Protection and Natural Resources Conservation. The objective of the study was to elucidate the distribution spasial, utilization status, and conservation effort of freshwater dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris). Results show that the spasial distributions of freshwater dolphin were found in Kaman, Pela Kecil, Bank of Pela Besar Rivers, Semayang, and Melintang Lakes. Freshwater dolphines was used as echotourism for local and foreign tourisms. There are some efforts to conserve of freshwater dolphin in the East Kalimantan, namely habitat protection from pollution and sedimentation, fisheries area protection for providing natural food and to increase local people role in conserving the existence of these animals.

In some conservation forest areas, interaction between local communities and natural resources is still very strong. The people who live around Taman Hutan Raya Sultan Thaha Syaifuddin Jambi Province  are known to still use some species of plants for medicinal purposes. The tradition and knowledge of local people in the rural areas about the use of plants to meet their daily needs has been going on for a long time even before an area is designated as conservation forest. The purpose of this study was to inventory the species of plants that are used as medicine by the community around Tahura STS Jambi, especially the understorey. This research was conducted at Tahura STS Jambi in July-September 2018. The method used in this study were interviews and surveys directly in the field so we only documented every kind mentioned by the informants and has a presence in the field. The results of the study showed that 22 lower-level plants were used as medicine by the community around Tahura. These plants are used as medicine for various medical and non-medical diseases. This  number of species is considered as an indicator of decreased knowledge and utilization of medicinal plants by communities around forest.

The Status ◽  
Made In

The status quo within international politics is that individual nation-states enjoy extensive and for the most part exclusive rights over the resources falling within their borders. Egalitarians have often assumed that such a situation cannot be defended, but perhaps some sophisticated defences of state or national rights over natural resources which have been made in recent years prove otherwise. This chapter critically assesses these various arguments, and shows that they are not sufficient to justify the institution of ‘permanent sovereignty’ over resources. Even insofar as those arguments have some weight, they are compatible with a significant dispersal of resource rights away from individual nation-states, both downwards towards local communities, and upwards towards transnational and global agencies.

Abstract There is a northern Thai story that tells how the naga—a mythical serpent—came and destroyed the town known as Yonok (c. thirteenth century) after its ruler became immoral. Despite this divine retribution, the people of the town chose to rebuild it. Many archaeological sites indicate resettlement during this early historical period. Although many temple sites were constructed in accordance with the Buddhist cosmology, the building patterns vary from location to location and illustrate what this paper calls ‘nonconventional patterns,’ distinct from Theravada Buddhist concepts. These nonconventional patterns of temples seem to have been widely practiced in many early historical settlements, e.g., Yonok (what is now Wiang Nong Lom). Many local written documents and practices today reflect the influence of the naga myth on building construction. This paper will demonstrate that local communities in the Chiang Saen basin not only believe in the naga myth but have also applied the myth as a tool to interact with the surrounding landscapes. The myth is seen as a crucial, communicated element used by the local people to modify and construct physical landscapes, meaning Theravada Buddhist cosmology alone cannot explain the nonconventional patterns. As such, comprehending the role of the naga myth enables us to understand how local people, past and present, have perceived the myth as a source of knowledge to convey their communal spaces within larger cosmological concepts in order to maintain local customs and legitimise their social space.
