There is an urgent need for a global transition to sustainable and wildlife-friendly farming systems that provide social and economic equity and protect ecosystem services on which agriculture depends. Java is home to 60% of Indonesia’s population and harbors many endemic species; thus, managing agriculture alongside human well-being and biodiversity is vital. Within a community of ~400 coffee farmers in the province of West Java, we assessed the steps to develop a wildlife-friendly program until reaching certification between February 2019 and October 2020. We adopted an adaptive management approach that included developing common objectives through a process of stakeholder consultation and co-learning. We firstly investigated via interviews the expectations and the issues encountered by 25 farmers who converted to organic production in 2016. Their main expectations were an increase in income and an increase in coffee quality, while they had issues mainly in finding high quality fertilizers, reducing pests, and increasing productivity. We used this information to establish a problem-solving plan for the transition to community-wide wildlife-friendly practices. As part of the adaptive evaluation, we assessed the quality of coffee plantations before and after the implementation of coproduced actions. The quality of coffee significantly improved after our interventions to reduce the coffee berry borer, especially in the fields that started as inorganic and converted to organic. We uncovered additional issues to meet the standards for certification, including banning hunting and trapping activities and increasing coffee quality for international export. We describe the coproduced actions (agroforestry, conservation education, local law, organic alternatives) and phases of the program and discuss the potential barriers. We provide novel evidence of adaptive management framework successfully used to implement management actions and reach shared goals.

Gelam (Melaleuca sp.) is a tidal swamp species that grows abundantly in South and Central Kalimantan swamp forest. Gelam is one potential species for wooden vinegar production as the technology is available and readily implemented. This paper studies the possible utilization of gelam wood species for wood vinegar. The vinegar was condensed during wood pyrolisis processes at the temperature of 500°C for 3 hours. Wood vinegar was yellow reddish in colour, transparant and no floating material. The vinegar specific gravity was 1.008 to 1.058 with the pH of 3.105 to 3.195 and acidity level varies from 5.167 to 12.903%. The carbonyl and phenol content were 11.250 to 30.390% and 2.429 to 9.231% respectively. In general, gelam wood can produce wood vinegar and its quality meet the Japanese standard requirements.

Although Gyrinops versteegii has been domesticated by local community in Sragen Regency, the environmental factor and species which high compatibility with G. versteegii still not know yet. The objectives of this s have have n research were 1) o know which one of those vegetation communities that gives the best the diameter and height t growth of the domesticated G. versteegii 2) to know the environmental factors that influenced the growth of the , and diameter and height of the domesticated G. versteegii. Sampling was done systematically with a plot of size 20 20m × for trees, 10 10m for poles, and 5 5m for saplings with a total of 28 plots. SPSS Program version 22 was used for × × cluster, one-way anova, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that for achieving the best G. versteegii growth, the G. versteegii should be planted under the community group which was dominated by Paraserianthes falcataria, T grandis, Gliricidia sepium and Eugenia aquea. Environmental factors affecting . , diameter growth of G. verteegii were organic carbon of the soil and the vegetation density. Meanwhile the environmental factors affecting the height growth of G. versteegii were temperature, light intensity, relative light intensity, organic carbon, C N ratio, P, Mg, air humidity, and clay content.
