“…Mangrove biodiversity is among the world's largest and ecologically diverse ecosystems, contributing to essential ecosystem services [1]. In the District of Tumpat, the mangrove habitat is unique due to the plain and hundreds of rivers, and islands, and it has the potential to be developed as an international tourist destination while also providing a stream of revenue for local populations and sustaining cultural values [2][3].…”

The importance of mangrove forests in protecting shorelines and mangrove ecosystems is very crucial. Due to industrialization and monetary demands, mangrove forests are at risk of losing their function and integrity over time. The commitment and awareness of the community are critical factors in the success of the mangrove conservation in Tumpat. With a quantitative approach, we collected demographic information from 116 (male 58.6%, female 41.4%) respondents to evaluate their knowledge and perception of mangrove conservation efforts in Tumpat, Kelantan. This study revealed that respondents’ level of knowledge and perception is significantly influenced by gender, age, level of education, occupation, income, and locality of residency which was analyzed using the Chi-square test (p<0.05). The importance of conserving the Tumpat mangrove forest and its ecosystems is highly rated by the respondents. Hence, they are eager to engage in any conservation initiatives that the forestry department may provide. However, 9.5% of total respondents are reluctant to cooperate in mangrove protection efforts due to less awareness of the mangrove conservation importance in Tumpat. Further initiatives should be implemented to enhance local community knowledge about the value of mangrove forests as well as to encourage them to participate in mangrove conservation programs.

Mangrove ecosystem functions mainly to provide habitat for thousands of marine species, prevent erosion and stabilize shore-line. Based on that, this research aims to determine the health status of the mangrove ecosystem located at Kabonga Besar, Donggala, Indonesia, by assessing its viability and threat level. This research was critically important as the mangrove ecosystem is being designated by the Government of Indonesia as a site for recreational use. The method used was qualitative research applying a series of focus group discussions involving interviews and observation. Data collection processes involved observing the ecosystem condition, interviewing key stakeholders, and studying relevant documents. The obtained data, i.e., Key Ecological Attribute covering the aspect of Landscape Context, Condition, and Size, and Threat data were analyzed using The Conservancy’s Framework for Viability and Threats. Viability and Threats were analyzed using the Software Application of CAP v6b. The results show that the viability of the mangrove ecosystem was good, but the threat level was high. To improve the ecosystem, as part of the coastal management, the health status of the site should be enhanced by increasing its viability or decreasing its threat level.

Increasing capacity to produce scenarios and models for biodiversity and ecosystem services

et al. 2020

Extensive anthropogenic activities driven by the demand for agriculture and forestry products have led to dramatic reductions in biodiversity worldwide and significant changes in the provisioning of ecosystem services. These trends are expected to continue in the future as the world continues to develop without much consideration of the role that nature plays in sustaining human livelihoods. Scenarios and models can be important tools to help policy- and decision-makers foresee the impact of their decisions; thus, increasing capacity in creating such models and scenarios is of utmost importance. However, postgraduate training schools that focus on this topic are still rare. Here we present and reflect on the experience of the São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Scenarios and Modelling on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services to Support Human Well-Being (SPSAS Scenarios). In addition, we introduce the Special Issue of Biota Neotropica that resulted from the activities taking place during the SPSAS Scenarios. In total, nine case studies emerged from the activities carried out during SPSAS Scenarios. These focused on a variety of ecosystems, their current drivers of change and expected trends, as well as on the development of alternative positive scenarios applying the recently developed Nature Futures Framework. We emphasize the need to increase capacity in scenario and modelling skills in order to address some of the existing gaps in producing policy-relevant scenarios and models for biodiversity and ecosystem services.
