<p>This research supports the sustainable environmental development, especially at Perhutani area. The objective of this ethno-ecological study was to know relationship between daily life of local people related to their agroforestry practices in edge of the forest belong to Perhutani at the landscape of Bromo Tengger Semeru-East Java. The Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) showed the importance of the forest for the local people. This study covered the perception and conception traditional management system of environment by the local society and also impact of their activities. Data were collected by applying ethno-ecology research methods. Quality of data  were measured by means of participatory ethno-botanical appraisal (PEA) and some research methods included semi-structural and open discussion, in-deep interview, direct observation and plants identification. The results showed that development and management of the natural resources, in Komplangan agroforestry, were highly related to the plant conservation policy. The land use system was adapted from indigenous knowledge which consisted of holly sites (Pedanyangan), worship sites (Sanggar Pamujan), cemetery area and terrace. The conservation model and traditional knowledge in agricultural practices could be used as a model of komplangan area which should be taken into account as the key of biodiversity conservation. Traditional knowledge from these integrative studies will support the sustainable development of NTFPs.</p>

Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) are natural resources collected from forests apart from timber. The use of NTFPs based on traditional knowledge is widely known among the natives in Borneo including Bidayuh community in Sarawak. An interview was undertaken with the villagers cum vendors at Duyoh Weekend Market along with a brief NTFPs survey at the nearby community forest (CF) recorded 76 NTFPs species belonging to 65 genera from 46 families used by this community.  Of these, 64 species or 84.21% were recorded in the nearby forest while 33 species or 43.42% at the village’s Weekend Market. Based on four major uses, more than 68.0% of them were edible or used in food preparation and 27.6% for medicinal purposes. Only 6 species (7.9%) were used for handicrafts, and was considered the least.  More than 17% were used for various other purposes including as ornamentals. Among the edible species, majority (54%) were fruits. Most (89.2%) of the edible species were also used for medicinal purposes. Most, if not all, households had collected the NTFPs from the forest, but only close to 20% of the village’s household actually sold these products at the village’s Weekend Market earning an average of RM400 to RM640 per month with higher income during fruiting season (October to December) which can reach RM200 per day.  Although majority grew the commonly used plants in their own land, substantial NTFPs (43.4%) sold were collected from the forest. Although this study is very short, at least it gave an idea that NTFPs are being used and its value to the community in terms of income. Thus suggest to have a longer-term study to cover all seasons/periods of the year to understand more on the products being sold and their values. More efforts in conserving the nearby forest is also warranted to ensure a continue supply of  NTFPs for sustainable supply for the present and future community use and to supplement their income.

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.]

Forest is a resources system which has prospective materials to be used for human needs. Local people within everyday life are very dependent on the natural surroundings, as well as the use of nature for human needs tend to increase. The purpose of this research is to do the analysis of vegetation and determine the potential use of non-timber forest products in Kampung Pagai, Airu District, Jayapura. The method used for the analysis of vegetation is the square plot, while the method to figure out the potential of non-timber forest adopts the method developed by Waluyo (2004). The results showed that there are at least 39 species of trees belonging to the 26 families. Regeneration of trees showed the condition which is good based on the diversity of tree species in the Sapling level, especially matoa (Pometia pinnata), kayu besi (Instia bijuga), and various plants of Ficus ssp. The potential uses of non-timber forest are also quite high. Several types of plants can be used as building materials and accessories, medicines, ornaments (including orchids), fruits, and vegetables. Key words: forest, vegetation, non-timber forest product, Airu District, Jayapura.

The study aims to analyze the exploration potential of the main non-timber forest products in the Forest Management Unit number III by the communities around Jamari National Forest. Were used the açaí fruit and Brazilian nuts production data based on the sustainable management plan, as well the Brazilian nut crop production for 2015, 2016 and 2017 reported by traditional communities, "Américo Ventura" and "Linhas 113-119". The data were analyzed and interpreted using economic indicators. As the main results, the productive potential amount of açaí fruit and Brazilian nuts available for harvest in each annual crop is 426,86 tons and 124,13 tons, respectively, providing an estimate of annual income of R$ 79.794,64 and R$ 195.134,63, respectively. For Brazilian nuts, the annually demand raised by the community was approximately 8 tons, from 2015 to 2017. The amount harvested represents 44.77% of the productive capacity of the three units. In addition, the cost-benefit ratio indicates that for each Brazilian Real invested in production the producer receives, on average, R$ 5,72. The Brazilian nut extraction shows to be an interesting activity in terms of production and economic value in both communities, presenting a net annual gain of R$ 1.812,108 per collector, for a total group of 50 extractivists residing in the communities “Américo Ventura” and “Linhas 113-119”, between 2015 to 2017. Thus, it is concluded that there is a great potential for exploration of these products in partnership with the concession forest, contributing to the sustainable development of extractivist communities.
