REKOMENDASI PENETAPAN KAWASAN EKOSISTEM ESENSIAL  DI DESA PANJARATAN

Essensial Ecosystem Areas in general can be interpreted as protected areas outside conservation areas. In Panjaratan Village, it is found an area that is a habitat for proboscis monkeys and other animals according to the results of the inventory but is outside the conservation forest area. The existence of proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) habitat in Panjaratan Village needs to supported in conservation so that it does not experience extinction due to interference for human activities. This study aims to provide recommendations in planning the determination of essential ecosystem areas for the Nasalis larvatus habitat in Panjaratan Village. This research was qualitative by using an emic approach that focuses on data and analysis based on answers from key informant. The results showed that the presence of Nasalis larvatus habitat in Panjaratan Village received support from the community, government and the private sector in its empowerment activities. This is supported by the existence of an inventory and verification of the presence of Nasalis larvatus habitat in Panjaratan Village conducted by the South Kalimantan Natural Resource Conservation team and through identification activities to then propose the Nasalis larvatus habitat area in the village to become an area of essential ecosystem areas.

Shiferaw M, Asmare B, Tegegne F, Molla D. 2018. Farmers perception and utilization status of improved forages grown inthe natural resource areas of northwestern Ethiopia. Biodiversitas 19: 1568-1578. A study on the perception and utilization ofimproved forages grown in natural resource conservation areas was conducted in selected districts of northwestern Ethiopia. This studyaims to investigate the perception of improved forage production and utilization system on natural resource conservation areas inselected areas of northwestern Ethiopia. Primary data was collected from selected households by interviewing using semi-structuredquestionnaire. Field observation and focus group discussion were also employed to enhance the survey data. A total of 180 households(90 from each district) were selected and interviewed. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics using SPSS softwareversion 20. The result indicated that the average land and livestock holding of respondents were 2.24 ha and 5.56 TLU per household,respectively. The most common forage production methods used by the smallholder farmers were broadcasting (41%), cutting (28%)and row seedling (18%) for both districts. For the majority of respondents (44%), the purpose of forage production of respondents wasfor animal fodder. Farmers in the study areas had a good perception about improved forage production as forages due havemultifunction to the household in the form of soil conservation, fodder production, and income generation. Though improved forageshave many roles in the livelihood and environmental management of the study districts, respondents had problems of skill in productionand utilization of forages. This study elucidates that, relevant development and research interventions such as management andutilization of improved forage production should be the future direction of research and development. Sustainable forage developmentand use for nature conservation and is becoming very important to be a livestock feed source if cut and carry system is regularly applied.

AbstractIntegrated Natural Resource Conservation and Development (INRCD) Projects are efforts at worldwide locations to promote economic development of local communities consistent with conservation of natural resources. This umbrella term includes Integration Conservation and Development Projects (ICDPs) introduced by the World Wide Fund to combine social development and conservation s through the use of socio-economic investments, and the Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM) research and development efforts that have employed a systems approach for quantitative modeling and optimization. In the spirit of the INRCD framework, we describe the development of a system-level agriculture and energy model comprising engineering and economic models for crop, irrigation, and energy subsystem designs for a community in Central Uganda. The model architecture is modular allowing modifications for different system configurations and project locations. We include some initial results and discuss next steps for system optimization, refining model assumptions, and modeling community social benefits as drivers of such projects.

Intergenerational Ethics

This chapter examines a variety of views about the nature of society’s putative duty to conserve natural resources for the future, with a focus on the contested idea of sustainability. This chapter examines competing conceptions of sustainability and their implications for natural resource conservation across generations. Sustainability is a very popular concept, but there are many different positions on what might be called the “sustainability of what?” question. The chapter examines a number of competing views and shows how controversy here has informed the debate between so-called weak and strong conceptions of sustainability. It concludes with an examination of the politics of sustainability, and in particular the connections and possible tensions between goals of natural resource conservation and of global justice.

Environmental Agency

In 15 American states, environmental protection agencies perform both pollution-control and natural resource conservation functions. In this study, I examine how this combination of functions affects the regulatory style embraced by these agencies. I find, through interviews with environmental agency workers and empirical analyses using enforcement data from 2010 to 2014, that the cooperation and flexibility with industry inherent to natural resource conservation efforts is a fundamental part of the regulatory process within these combined agencies. Great efforts are made to garner voluntary or negotiated compliance without the possible economic consequences of punitive actions. Enforcements are less frequent and less severe. The effect of this agency design choice is powerful, maintaining its effect even when controlling for political, ideological, and economical pressures. In a time where environmental protection agencies are increasingly interested in incorporating management-based regulation and voluntary compliance to supplement command and control regulation, it is more important than ever to understand the regulation that emerges from this combination.
