Abstract
Cajuput stand development in Bojonegoro Forest Management Unit is currently the most important concern because it provides a meaningful contribution to maintain the financial stability of the company. This study aims to determine an optimum planting design for generating high cajuput productivity using an analytical hierarchy process. Eight criteria were used to facilitate the evaluation process, including site suitability, plant diversity, planting density,
Abstract
In Indonesia, social forestry is promoted as a rural development strategy intended to improve community welfare while supporting sustainable forest management. By granting long-term and inheritable rights to manage state forests, the program is expected to provide a solid foundation for sustainable livelihoods across generations. Yet, how current social forestry participants and prospective successors perceive the future livelihood prospects offered by the
Abstract
In many countries, the rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities over forest resources are largely unrecognized and increasingly threatened by development projects and conservation policies. When Indigenous communities assert claims grounded in oral traditions and historical narratives, they often encounter formal legal systems privileging written documentation. Although Indonesia has introduced significant legal reforms, including the Constitutional
Abstract
Macrocephalon maleo, commonly known as the maleo, is a critically endangered bird endemic to Sulawesi, recognized for its distinctive nesting strategy of burying eggs in geothermally or solar-heated soil. This study examined nesting habitat characteristics and environmental factors influencing its presence in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP), Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. From June 2024 to February 2025, field surveys and camera trap monitoring were conducted
Abstract
Mangrove ecosystems are dynamic coastal environments where phytoplankton communities respond sensitively to environmental variability. This study examined phytoplankton community structure and its relationship with water physicochemical characteristics in mangrove areas with tourism (MWT) and without tourism (MW) in Kuala Langsa, Aceh, Indonesia. Field sampling was conducted during a single survey period across 40 plots (20 MWT and 20 MW). Phytoplankton
Abstract
Santalum album Linn. (sandalwood) is a commercially important species due to the essential oils derived from its heartwood. This species has been currently threatened by overharvesting and habitat fragmentation. Therefore, this study aims to assess genetic diversity and population structure of seven Indonesian sandalwood populations using eight nuclear simple sequence repeat (nSSR) markers. The samples comprised 202 individuals from one ex-situ conservation
Abstract
While the expansion of monoculture oil palm plantations has contributed to national and local economic growth, large-scale development within forested areas has led to deforestation in Indonesia. This has raised concerns among key market countries, particularly in the European Union, potentially leading to trade restrictions on Indonesia’s oil palm products linked to deforestation. In response, the Indonesian government has introduced several regulations
Abstract
Urban green areas offer a range of ecosystem services and recreational attractions, including the comfortable microclimate. However, the influence of microclimate conditions on visitor preferences to visit urban green space areas is still necessary to be investigated. This study aims to evaluate the microclimate conditions and their influence on visitor preferences at Wisdom Park, Gadjah Mada University. Microclimate parameters, such as temperature, humidity,
Abstract
In the 1990s, the ambitious yet disastrous 1 million ha Mega Rice Project (MRP) in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, left behind vast areas of degraded and abandoned peatlands. The drainage of these peat soils has led to subsidence and substantial carbon emissions. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been used to quantify peat subsidence in this vast area through satellite data, although it often suffers from incomplete spatial coverage due to
Abstract
Beef cattle are commonly infected by gastrointestinal parasites, which impact productivity and cause economic losses. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of gastrointestinal parasites in beef cattle at Baluran National Park (BNP). A cross-sectional design was used from June to December 2024, with random sampling in five areas of the BNP interface, namely Air Karang, Lempuyang, Merak, Sirondo, and Simacan. In this context,
