With 120 million hectares of forest area, Indonesia has the third largest area of biodiversity-rich tropical forests in the world, and it is well-known as a mega-biodiversity country. However, in 2020, only 70 percent of this area remained forested. The government has consistently undertaken corrective actions to achieve Sustainable Development Goal targets, with a special focus on Goals #1 (no poverty), #2 (zero hunger), #3 (good health and well-being), #7 (affordable and clean energy), #8 (decent work and economic growth), #13 (climate action), and #15 (life on land). Good environmental governance is a core concept in Indonesia’s forest management and includes mainstreaming ecosystem services as a framework for sustainable forest management. This paper analyzes efforts to mainstream Indonesia’s remaining forest ecosystem services. We review the state of Indonesia’s forests in relation to deforestation dynamics, climate change, and ecosystem service potential and options and provide recommendations for mainstreaming strategies regarding aspects of policy, planning, and implementation, as well as the process of the articulation of ecosystem services and their alternative funding.
Indonesia is an archipelago with significant variations in natural resources, infrastructure, socioeconomic, culture, human resource capacity, accessibility, and access to financial and technical assistance. In this situation, integrated and unique efforts are needed to manage natural resources and build synergy between their protection and utilization to achieve water, energy, and food (WEF) security in accordance with the SDG targets. This paper analyzes the implementations of the WEF nexus in rural Indonesia by examining existing legal frameworks and other related policies, journals, textbooks, and publications. We explore factors influencing the success and failure of the implementation of the WEF nexus approaches from technical, socioeconomic, cultural, political, and institutional perspectives of the rural development framework.
Perkembangan sutera alam belum optimal karena penanganan masalah cenderung secara general dan belum disesuaikan dengan karakteristik sosial ekonomi masyarakat. Di Kabupaten Soppeng, sutera alam dilakoni oleh masyarakat dengan latar belakang sosial ekonomi yang beragam yang dapat mempengaruhi persepsi dan motivasi dalam pengembangan usaha sutera alam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi dan motivasi petani dalam mengembangkan usaha sutera alam yang diharapkan dapat menjadi bahan formulasi dalam penyusunan kebijakan persuteraan alam. Kajian dilakukan di Kecamatan Donri-Donri sebagai pusat pengembangan sutera alam di Kabupaten Soppeng. Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode survey dengan wawancara. Pengambilan sampel responden menggunakan metode random sampling terhadap petani sutera alam. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa di Kabupaten Soppeng persepsi petani yang tinggi terhadap usaha sutera alam berhubungan dengan faktor sosial ekonomi seperti lama domisili di desa dan jenis kelamin. Motivasi petani dalam usaha sutera alam umumnya karena usaha sutera alam mudah dilaksanakan, penguasaan teknologi, dan kemudahan mendapatkan informasi. Usaha sutera alam masih memiliki peluang yang besar untuk dikembangkan melalui perbaikan mutu bibit ulat sutera dan mutu pakan ulat sutera. Persepsi masyarakat yang tinggi dan motivasi yang dimiliki perlu dibarengi dengan tersedianya faktor-faktor pendukung agar usaha ini dapat berkembang optimal. Kata kunci: sutera alam, persepsi petani, motivasi petani, Kabupaten Soppeng
The domestic silkworm or mulberry silk moth, B. mori L., provides more than 99% of the world’s silk. Silk, as a sericulture product, was first introduced in Indonesia through a trade mechanism and began to develop in 1953. Several factors (economic, ecological, market, and cultural) support sericulture and make it become one of the non-timber forest product priorities. However, the competitive advantages alone have not encouraged the development of prospective sericulture industry in Indonesia yet. This paper is a review of tropical sericulture development in Indonesia. The literature on the development of sericulture in Indonesia between 1989 and 2022 is used to describe conditions related to mulberry cultivation (moriculture), and silkworm rearing (sericulture), as well as the state of socio-economic development, culture, and institutions. Moriculture and sericulture techniques, socio-economic aspects, institutional arrangements, and community motivations are intertwined, creating a challenging atmosphere for sericulture development. There are potential resources, such as exploring quality mulberry production and quality silkworm production through research and development, valuable cultural aspects, and potential stakeholders to build network engagement. Commitment, cooperation, and action from all stakeholders are needed to enhance the development of sericulture in Indonesia. In this context, the central government can play an important role in facilitating multi-stakeholder partnerships in the development of integrated sericulture in Indonesia.
