Myanmar’s forests are socially and economically significant to the country because over 70% of the country’s population depends on natural resources for daily needs. We conducted this study with the aim of assessing the extent to which direct and indirect (tangible) benefits of mangrove forest contribute to local livelihoods in the Ayeyarwaddy Region, Myanmar. We used a questionnaire survey (n = 185 households), interview and group discussion for data collection. The study shows that 43% of total household income is generated through selling of forest products collected from the mangrove forest such as firewood, fishes, crabs and prawn, whereas agricultural and non-farm incomes were found to be 25% and 32% of total income, respectively. The result prevails that income from the mangrove forest products for fish, crab, prawn and firewood is specifically 36%, 28%, 9% and 27%, respectively. Hence, we confirmed that local livelihood mainly depends on the mangrove forest ecosystem.

SUMMARYReducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, the sustainable management of forests and the conservation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (‘REDD+’) aims to improve local livelihoods and conserve plant diversity while limiting carbon emissions. Yet trade-offs and synergies that exist between supporting livelihoods, protecting plant diversity and maintaining forest ecosystem services are poorly documented. We used forest inventory data and community-group records to assess trade-offs and synergies between carbon, plant diversity and forest products in 19 community forests managed under REDD+ in Nepal. Trade-offs were prevalent for carbon, whereby community forests with relatively high carbon values had relatively low values for plant diversity or forest products provision, and vice versa. Synergies occurred between plant diversity and forest products provision (fuelwood and fodder), suggesting that forests with relatively high plant diversity values were also important for providing critical forest products to local communities. This study shows that conserving forests for carbon should not impinge greatly on the flow of forest resources to at least some local communities; however, promoting carbon storage will not necessarily protect plant diversity. These findings should help guide future REDD+ policy for community forests.

Manfaat tersebut diantaranya berasal dari Hasil Hutan Kayu (HHK) dan Hasil Hutan Bukan Kayu. Selain manfaat yang bersumber dari HHK dan HHBK terdapat juga manfaat jasa lingkungan seperti wisata alam dan pendidikan. Dalam perjalanannya KHDTK Senaru dimanfaatkan sebagai tempat wisata bagi masyarakat baik lokal, nasional maupun internasional yang datang ke KHDTK Senaru untuk menikmati pemandang alamnya atau melewati KHDTK untuk melanjutkan perjalanan mereka menuju puncak Gunung Rinjani. Kondisi ini tentunya merupakan perkembangan yang positif bagi KHDTK Senaru dan pengelola, dalam melakukan pengembangan wisata kedepannya. Permasalahan yang terjadi pada saat ini yaitu belum maskimalnya informasi terkait sumberdaya hutan yang ada pada KHDTK Senaru untuk menunjang wisata edukasi bagi pengunjung maupun masyarakat sekitar terkait dengan alam sekitar, terutama pengenalan jenis vegetasi yang terdapat disepanjang jalur wisata. Sehingga tujuan dilaksanakannya kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah: (1) untuk menyediakan informasi vegetasi yang terdapat pada jalur wisata, (2). menyediakan herbarium vegetasi yang ada sepanjang jalur dan (3) menyediakan papan informasi terkait vegetasi pada jalur wisata. Motode yang digunakan adalah observasi, focus group discussion (FGD), dan sosialisasi. Adapun hasil yang diperoleh adalah sebagai berikut: (1) masyarakat memiliki data terkait jenis-jenis vegetasi yang terdapat pada jalur-jalur wisata, (2) tersedianya herbarium jenis-jenis vegetasi yang ada di sepanjang jalur (3) tersedianya papan informasi terkait jenis-jenis vegetasi yang ada di sepanjang jalur. Kata Kunci: KHDTK; Senaru; wisata edukasi; pengenalan jenis vegetasi [English]: Senaru Educational Forest or also known as Forest Area with Special Purposes (KHDTK) has a multi-functional potency that can provide economic, environmental, educational, and social benefits for people. The benefits are derived from Timber Forest Products (HHK) and Non-Timber Forest Products (HHBK). In addition, there are also benefits from environmental services such as natural tourism and education. KHDTK Senaru is used as a tourist destination ranging from local, national and international tourists who came to enjoy its natural views or pass through to the summit of Mount Rinjani. This condition is certainly a positive development for KHDTK Senaru and the management, in carrying out tourism development in the future. The current problem is the lack of information regarding the forest resources available at the KHDTK Senaru to support educational tourism and the local communities regarding the natural environment, especially the introduction of vegetation species along the tracks. Thus, the aims of this community service program are (1) to provide information on vegetation available along the tourist track, (2) to provide herbariums for vegetation along the tourist track, and (3) to provide information boards related to vegetation available on the tourist track. The methods used are observation, focus group discussion (FGD), and socialization. The results obtained after the program are as follows: (1) the local communities have database regarding list of vegetation species available along the tourist tracks, (2) the availability of herbariums of vegetation on the tourist track, and (3) the availability of information boards of vegetation at the tourist track.

Abstract Background This study provides empirical evidence, for the contribution of forest provisioning ecosystem services to the local communities done on the Afromontum rainforest of southwest Ethiopia which is endowed with many Fauna and Flora. The study may give some representative evidence for policy-maker on behalf of conservation of the area. Methodology This study was done with the approach of focus group discussion and in-depth interviews of the rural community in southwest Ethiopia coffee forest. The role of forest provisioning services analysis was made by relative forest income (RFI) procedure based on the stratification category of the local ethnics and newcomers. Results The overall result indicated that seventeen forest provisioning services collected by the community from natural forest, however income were varied in relation to demographic features, the income from forest for local communities shown too high to which contributes 90.85% of the total income and have a long history of the link between this livelihood and forest. While forest also provides a considerable income for the new resettled community coming from elsewhere in the area but we observed non- forest income were the main source of revenue for this community. Conclusions The traditional and the indigenous communities used for access to a finite resource and considered the resource harvested from the forest are the central part of their economy and the relationships between forests and people’s livelihoods particularly for this remote community were complementary. Then planning should take into conceder, in policy perceptive, for supporting this remote community for livelihood improvement and conservation of this natural forest.

Abstract: REDD+ mechanism has been considered as an effective way to mitigate climate change in developing countries since it targets to remove carbon emissions and compensate the local communities for their conservation efforts. Incentive programs of REDD+ projects should be tailored carefully because they can cause both positive and negative effects to local communities. This research was conducted to suggest incentive program options for a peat land REDD+ project in Riau Provincial. Frequently adopted incentive pr ograms were identified from literature review, and few more options were added based on previous local survey. Seven incentive options were finalized for the survey through discussion with KPH Tasik Besar Serkap. To figure out preference on and importance of the incentive options for local communities, questionnaire survey was conducted on 40 respondent in 2 villages around the project area. Local livelihoods activities in forest were also investigated. Collected data was used for frequency analysis and AHP analysis. Although gap between preference and importance of the options was found, the difference was minor. Among the incentive options, the respondents preferred provision of ‘goods for agriculture and fishery’, ‘electricity generator’, ‘establishment o f community forest’ and ‘job creation’. Diverse local livelihood activities in forests were confirmed, though intensity of dependence was different among the villages. It is concluded that a set of small incentive programs would lead to better results than ‘one-big’ incentive program, since it can provide more opportunities for local people to participate in. To develop an effective incentive program for REDD+ project, local preference, importance for local community, and impacts on local livelihood should be considered simultaneously.

Yusuph M, Munishi PKT. 2018. The potential contribution of peri-urban wetlands to the livelihood of local communities in Shinyanga Municipality, Tanzania. Bonorowo Wetlands 2: 75-83. The study took place in Shinyanga Municipality, Tanzania to assess the potential contribution of peri-urban wetlands to the livelihood of nearby communities. The specific objectives were to examine the participation of the suburban wetland ecosystems to natural capital-(food production/food security), evaluate the involvement of periurban wetlands ecosystem to financial capital-(household income) and assess the advantages received by farmer groups/associations formed around the utilization of wetlands (social capital). Information was acquired through households and farmer's group/associations questionnaires, focus group discussion as well as field observations. Data were analyzed by employing descriptive and inferential statistics by applying correlation and t-test. As many as 79.2% of the wetland nearby communities rely on the wetlands for food. The major food crops were paddy, fruits, vegetables, and sweet potatoes. The average production levels of cereals, vegetables and fruits were prominently higher in wetlands compared to uplands. In the case of household income wetland cultivation (paddy, vegetables, maize, and fruits) brought about statistically higher household annual mean income of Tshs 2,335,852/year (US$ 1,168) compared to Tshs 197,475/year (US$ 99) produced by upland cultivation. The results further suggested that 70% of the farmer groups/associations established around wetland utilization accessed loans/credit to support agricultural production as an advantage from being members. Sustainable use of peri-urban wetlands in Shinyanga Municipality produces substantial livelihoods to adjacent communities. Conservation of such wetland ecosystems is indispensable for continued contribution to livelihoods while ensuring environmental protection. Further studies are necessary to unravel the nature of social capital associated with utilization of wetland ecosystems.

Sejak tahun 2015 Balai Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan Yogyakarta mengehentikan kegiatan pemanfaatan hutan dalam bentuk penyadapan getah pinus di kawasan hutan lindung yang secara adminitrasi pengelolaan hutan berada di Resort Pengelolaan Hutan Mangunan Bagian Daerah Hutan Bantul-Kulonprogo. Bentuk pemanfaatan hutan lindung selanjutnya dialihkan menjadi pemanfaatan hutan untuk wisata alam dan jasa lingkungan. Perubahan bentuk pemanfaatan ini mempengaruhi penghidupan ekonomi bagi rumah tangga penyadap getah pinus yang telah memiliki ketergantungan sumber pendapatan terhadap kegiatan pemanfaatan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan tingkat pendapatan rumah tangga penyadap getah pinus serta kontribusi sumber pendapatan dari sumberdaya hutan terhadap pendapatan total rumah tangga. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan survei dengan melibatkan 56 responden dari 69 penyadap getah pinus yang berdomisili di tiga desa yaitu Desa Munthuk, Desa Mangunan dan Desa Terong. Pengumpulan data melalui wawancara secara mendalam, observasi dan pemanfaatan data sekunder. Data dianalisis secara deskriftif-kuantitatif untuk memberikan penjelasan perubahan atau perbandingan aktivitas, tingkat dan kontribusi sumber pendapatan dari hutan dengan adanya perubahan pemanfaatan hutan. Temuan-temuan dari penelitian ini adalah: (1) Hanya sebagian dari penyadap getah pinus (35 responden) yang dapat beralih aktivitasnya menjadi pekerja hutan wisata, (2)Rata-rata tingkat pendapatan bagi penyadap yang tidak dapat beralih menjadi pekerja atau pengelola wisata sebelum dan sesudah adanya perubahan pemanfaatan berturut-turut sebesar Rp 16.033.062/tahun dan Rp 13.320.967/tahun, (3)Rata-rata tingkat pendapatan bagi penyadap yang dapat beralih menjadi pekerja atau pengelola wisata sebelum dan sesudah adanya perubahan pemanfaatan berturut turut sebesar Rp 12.076.329/tahun dan Rp 29.809.157/tahun, (4) Kegiatan penyadapan berkontribusi sebesar 23% dan pendapatan dari aktivitas di kegiatan wisata hutan pinus berkontribusi sebesar 62% terhadap pendapatan total tahunan.  The Impact of Change in Protected Forest Utilization in RPH Mangunan on Income of Pine Sap TapperAbstractSince 2015 the Balai Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan Yogyakarta has stopped the activity of utilizing pine sap tapping in protected forest areas which administratively located at Resort Pengelolaan Hutan Mangunan, Bagian Daerah Hutan Bantul Kulon Progo. Forest Utilization was then shifted into recreational forest. The change in forest utilization affected the livelihood of pine sap tapper households that already have dependence on a source of income based on these utilization activities. This study aims to compare the source diversity and level of household income of pine sap tappers as well as the share of income from forest resources to total income due to the change in forest utilization. This study used a survey involving 56 respondents from 69 pine sap tappers domiciled in three villages namely Munthuk, Mangunan and Terong Village. Data collection through in-depth interviews, observations and use of secondary data. The data were analyzed in a descriptive quantitative approach to provide an explanation of comparisons of activities, levels and contributions of sources of income from the forest due to changes in forest utilization. The important findings of this study are: (1) Only a portion of pine sap tappers (35 respondents) can switch their activities to workers in recrational forest (2) Average level of household income for tappers who cannot shift to workers in recreational forest are Rp 16033,062 /year and Rp. 13,320,967 /year, (3)Meanwhile, for tappers who can switch to workers in recreational forest are Rp. 12,076,329 / year and Rp. 29,809,157/year respectively for before and after changes in forest utilization(4) Income from tapping activitiy contributed 23% and income from activities in pine recreational forest contributed 62% to total annual income.
