The Terai, considered the granary of Nepal, is facing serious threat from siltation originatingfrom the Churia hills mainly due to heavy deforestation together with forest and watersheddegradation. Discussions with local community people revealed that no such problemexisted 5-6 decades ago when the Churia forest was intact. All the forestry sector policieshad recognized the Churia hills as fragile and environmentally sensitive, but the concernedgovernment agencies and the local community people have not been able to conservethis region effectively. There is heavy exploitation of the Churia hills for the extraction oftimber, firewood, non-timber forest products, and for grazing resources. In addition, gravel,sand and boulders are also being extracted for the sake of revenue to the localgovernments. Jalad River of Dhanusha district originating from the Churia hills has beenconverting fertile and productive agriculture lands into barren river beds at the rate of 25hectares a year. The Churia hills should be conserved for the environmental services ofthe watershed to the entire Terai region rather than for provisioning tangible forest productsservices only to the upstream local communities.Key Words: Environmental services; Churia-Terai linkage; PES; upstream-downstreamDOI: 10.3126/banko.v20i1.3504Banko Janakari, Vol. 20, No. 1 pp.17-23

Abstract. Alandra Y. Amelia FUD, Iskandar J. 2018. The traditional Rimbo Larangan system of forest management: An ethnoecological case study in Nagari Paru, Sijujung District, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Asian J Ethnobiol 1: 61-68. The community of Nagari Paru, Sijunjung District, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia has a traditional forest conservation system locally known as Rimbo Larangan which is based on the Local Knowledge (LK) or the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) - strongly embedded in the local culture.. Although the Rimbo Larangan has nearly disappeared in many villages (nagari) of West Sumatra, particularly of the Minangkabau ethnic, this traditional forest conservation system in Nagari Paru has been properly maintained. The aim of this study was to document the ecological history, the characteristics of the involved local institutions and the management system of the Rimbo Larangan based on a case study in Nagari Paru, Sijunjung district, West Sumatra Province. Method used in this study was qualitative with the ethnoecological approach. The results of the study showed that the ecological story of Rimbo Larangan has been established since a long time, in parallel with initial construction of agricultural and settlement areas in the forest. The institution of Rimbo Larangan, as a distinctive model, was initially organized by the original initiatives of informal leaders which were later joined and supported by the local government. Based on the Rimbo Larangan system, various non-timber forest products of Nagari Paru has been sustainably utilized by the local community. In addition, the forest has provided ecological services over time for the local community.

Hutauruk TR, Lahjie AM, Simarangkir B.D.A.S., Aipassa MI, Ruslim Y. 2018. The prospect of the utilization of Non-Timber Forest Products from Setulang Village forest based on local knowledge of the Uma Longh community in Malinau, North Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 421-430. The establishment of Village Forest status gives local people assurance to manage the forest independently, but also limits its utilization. Communities are given freedom in the utilization of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) and environmental services, but they are prohibited to utilize timber forest products that can disturb and destroy the life of flora and fauna in it. The Uma Longh community utilize NTFPs to meet the needs for food, medicines, and craft material. The objective of this study was to know the prospect of the utilization of NTFPs from Setulang Village Forest. Data were gathered by interview, FGD, documentation, observation and field sampling in transects. The analysis method used in this research was CLAPS (Arquiza 2008; Bakkegaard et al. 2016). This research concluded that the NTFPs in Uma Longh community had good prospect so that the commodities included in the NTFPs category could be managed by the local community independently and sustainably, including Calamus sp. and Gigantochloa sp. In order for NTFPs to be available sustainably, the existence of village forest should be maintained, and this requires (i) the existence of government regulatory support that ensures its sustainability, (ii) the community support to comply with agreements and rules made, (iii) the availability of responsible management institutions, and (iv) the availability of adequate funding sources.

Amazonian forest produces environmental services such as maintenance of biodiversity, water cycling and carbon stocks. These services have a much greater value to human society than do the timber, beef and other products that are obtained by destroying the forest. Yet institutional mechanisms are still lacking to transform the value of the standing forest into the foundation of an economy based on maintaining rather than destroying this ecosystem. Forest management for commodities such as timber and non-timber forest products faces severe limitations and inherent contradictions unless income is supplemented based on environmenta lservices. Amazon forest is threatened by deforestation, logging, forest fires and climate change. Measures to avoid deforestation include repression through command and control, creation of protected areas, and reformulation of infrastructure decisions and development policies. An economy primarily based on the value of environmental services is essential for long-term maintenance of the forest. Much progress has been made in the decades since I first proposed such a transition, but many issues also remain unresolved. These include theoretical issues regarding accounting procedures, improved quantification of the services and of the benefits of different policy options, and effective uses of the funds generated in ways that maintain both the forest and the human population.

This paper examined how forest has contributed to rural households’ livelihood in Da river basin, the northwest mountainous region of Vietnam. The results revealed that forest predominantly contributes to the total income of rural residents in the region. Specifically, forestry land area, access to non-timber forest products, and payment for forest environmental services significantly affected household’s income in the region. However, rural people in the region have still faced several difficulties that constrain household’s livelihood. Of these difficulties, lack of financial capital, epidemic diseases in animal husbandry, limited access to market information and natural disaster are popular barriers to livelihood of people in the region. This paper also recommended several policies to improve rural livelihood in Da river basin. These includes: (i) integrating issues regarding payment for forest environmental services and REDD+ into socioeconomic development plan; (ii) improving awareness of local people on sustainable natural capital use through ecosystem conservation policy; (iii) providing preferential credit and training on agricultural production techniques; and (iv) encouraging market-oriented agriculture.
