“…Deforestation has broad implications for climate change, increasing death toll risks and decreasing human productivity and the livelihoods of local communities [96,97]. Human health or death risks are closely related to air pollution and malaria prevalence [98] and, therefore, the awareness of forest-based stakeholders to implement strategy, policy, and institutional reform must be raised, in addition to the efforts to minimize or even eliminate deforestation in Indonesia [99,100].…”

This study focuses on land cover and land management changes in relation to food security and environmental services in a semi-arid area of East Nusa Tenggara (ENT), Indonesia. The study was conducted in the Central Sumba District of ENT province. A classification and regression tree (CART) for land cover classification was analyzed using machine learning techniques through the implementation of the Google Earth Engine. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) survey followed by in-depth interviews was conducted for primary data collection, involving a total of 871 respondents. The socio-economic data were statistically analyzed descriptively using non-parametric tests. The study showed that (1) there has been a substantial change in land use during the devolution era that has both positive and negative implications for food security and environmental services; (2) there has been population pressure in fertile and agricultural land as a direct impact of the development of city infrastructure; and (3) national intervention through the Food Estate program has fostered and shaped land use change and land management in the Central Sumba District. The study highlights the importance of the devolution spirit in aiding the management of limited arable/agricultural land in predominantly semi-arid areas to ensure food security and environmental services.

“…The basic concept of the establishment of FMU is to create an institutional-based forest in the tread level, which will conduct a series of forest management activities, ranging from planning, structuring, and management. Its purpose is to improve forest sustainability, the welfare of the community, and create the independence of the FMU [25]. All forest areas are divided into FMU, which is part of strengthening the forest management system.…”

This paper examines the Forest Management Unit's (FMU) role in enhancing access to forest area utilization, especially in production and protected community-based forests, to suppress the rate of deforestation. We research five FMU in central Sulawesi. The analysis method is qualitative based on emic information from FMU, community, academic, local government, and direct field observations. This paper explains that public access in forest resource utilization is a deciding factor in helping the community face the impact of economic crises. To make it happen, the primary role of FMU is necessary. FMU Should be increasing public access to the state-owned forest by optimizing the facilitating functions. Providing investment opportunities for forest management based on the community in partnership schemes can realize a broad impact and national issues on empowering forest communities. FMU can also prioritize the partnership cooperation programs by implementing social forestry programs, instantly absorbing significant community participation.

“…The anti-deforestation policy, implemented in Indonesia in 2011, demonstrated the loss of forests from several protected areas felling more than 1000 square kilometers (km 2 ) of forests in a relatively short time. This occurred due to the transfer of productive activities in the various areas, producing additional forest losses [14]. In general, an obstacle to forest conservation is the unsustainable economic activities of the population.…”

Impact of Government Stability and Investment Profile on Forest Area: The Role of Natural Protected Areas

et al. 2022

Forest area plays a fundamental role in air and water quality and directly impacts agricultural productivity. This research aims to examine the impact of government stability and investment profiles on forest cover in countries within the ASEAN region. Specifically, the research includes Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. In the research development, we examine the role which protected natural areas play in the conservation of forests. We employ second-generation cointegration methods of cross-section dependence and slope heterogeneity. The results suggest that forest cover has been significantly reduced in this region, while government stability and the investment profile have a volatile behavior. The second-generation cointegration test results suggest there is no long-term relationship between the three series. Likewise, the short- and long-term elasticities highlight the importance of environmental protection policies to conserve forests.
