“…It includes keywords such as reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation program (REDD+) (3), Chittagong hill tracts (2), income (2), etc. Bayrak and Marafa (2020) and Dawson et al (2018) explore the national policy processes through REDD+ policy framework and suggest features to upgrade the policy to make it more effective. One method is to influence the localization of international rules in order to promote more equal routes and prevent deforestation and damage.…”

This article examines the role of indigenous communities in promoting social change and accomplishing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using an integrative review, we offer an unbiased assessment of indigenous communities and SDGs. We contend that indigenous communities’ contribution to SDGs enhances technological innovations (via top‐down or bottom‐up approaches) and fosters social change. Our study identifies six themes: economy, ecology, livelihood, socio‐demographic factors, sustainable development, and politics, policies, and partnerships. For each theme and SDG, we pinpoint research gaps and propose potential directions. Given the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, joint initiatives to empower indigenous people, preserve their rights, and include them in decision‐making processes are critical. This study emphasizes the significance of using and strategizing indigenous knowledge in the face of environmental and other changes, thus advancing indigenous management theory. The article concludes by offering theoretical, practical, and policy implications for researchers, entrepreneurs, and the government.

“…In this context, community-based forest management is a common approach in several nations [7], such as India [8], Tanzania [9], Bangladesh [10], Ethiopia [11], the Philippines [12], Argentina [13], Kenya [14], Nepal [15], and Vietnam [16]. Community forestry is implemented through a number of strategies that integrate the roles of community, government, and private stakeholders [17,18].…”

Indonesia’s vast forested areas have the potential to serve as a crucial source of livelihood for local communities. However, the current contributions of these forests to community livelihoods are significantly underutilized in comparison to their potential. This study evaluates the financial performance and sustainability of community forest-based businesses operating around the forest management area of the Lakitan-Bukit Cogong forest management unit (LBC FMU). Data were collected through semi-structured and in-depth interviews with the key informants through purposive sampling. Financial viability analysis and a qualitative approach were used to assess the feasibility of the businesses. The findings revealed that all businesses show positive values for all financial indicators. From profit estimation and value-added distribution, all products are shown to be feasible. Concerning the value and supply chain, the rubber-processing industry has a remarkable flow. Moreover, small forest enterprises (SFEs) highlight natural capital optimization through multitudinous derivatives of products that could support a substantial regenerative economy, including citronella essential oil, native honeybees, rubber-based product, biochar, skewers, and liquid smoke. In addition, the multidimensional scaling and rapid appraisal for forest (MDS-RAPForest) approach generates a result based on multiple dimensions (ecology, economics, social and human resources, and institutional and administrative dimensions) showing that overall, SFEs are categorized as sufficient/quite sustainable. Furthermore, mainstreaming adaptable forest-based enterprises, jurisdiction approaches, and cross-production system strategies are also discussed. Our findings suggest that sustainable NTFP-based activities within a community context can be facilitated through interconnected market systems, appropriate price regulations, and support from stakeholders and legal frameworks.

Youth and the Future of Community Forestry

Forests managed by Indigenous and other local communities generate important benefits for livelihood, and contribute to regional and global biodiversity and carbon sequestration goals. Yet, challenges to community forestry remain. Rural out-migration, for one, can make it hard for communities to maintain broad and diverse memberships invested in local forest commons. This includes young people, who can contribute critical energy, ideas, and skills and are well positioned to take up community forest governance and work, but often aspire to alternative livelihoods and lifestyles. Through an initiative called the Future of Forest Work and Communities, we sought to connect researchers and practitioners with young people living in forest regions, and explore whether community forestry is, or could be, a viable option for them in a globalising world. We achieved this through two phases of qualitative research: youth visioning workshops and questionnaires conducted in 14 forest communities and regions across 9 countries, and a more in-depth case study of two forest communities in Oaxaca, Mexico, using participant observation and semi-structured interviews. We found important synergies across sites. Youth held strong connections with their communities and local forests, but work and/or study aspirations meant many would likely leave their home communities (at least for a time). Community forestry was not seen as an obvious livelihood pathway by a majority of youth, although interest in forest work was evident through participation in several workshop activities. As community leadership and support organisations consider community forestry as an engine of local development, the research highlights the importance of engaging local youth to understand their interests and ideas, and thus identify practical and meaningful ways to empower them as community and territorial actors.
