“…Central Kalimantan regulation allows slashand-burn to be done for settled agriculture. This is in line with the finding of Nopemberani et al (2018) that the Dayak Nganju people who inhabit Central Kalimantan are transitioning into a more permanent agriculture system. West Kalimantan province and Sintang Regency regulations also allow controlled burning to be done in rotating cultivation, settled agriculture, and rice paddy fields.…”

“…The pressure on the land has shortened the fallow period, so there is not much time for the secondary forest to regrow; the shrub-fallow land is considered good enough to be cultivated again (Erni and Carling 2014). Nopemberani et al (2018) even found that the Dayak Nganju people residing in Mantangai Tengah and Mantangai Hilir no longer practice rotating cultivation; they are transitioning toward a more settled agriculture. Slash-and-burn practice, which used to be a part of a more complex land cycle management, has transformed into a mere cheap way of land clearing.…”

Environmental Harm and Decriminalization of Traditional Slash-and-Burn Practice in Indonesia

Traditional slash-and-burn as a way of clearing land for farming is allowed and exempted from being a criminal offense in Indonesia. However, this exemption should not be interpreted to mean that all traditional slash-and-burn practices are sustainable. Changes in habitat and sociocultural and economic conditions can render this once sustainable practice unsuitable in certain contexts and environments. This discussion on environmental harm from traditional slash-and-burn practices is not intended to call for a total ban of the practice nor does it suggest aggressive criminal law enforcement is required. This discussion is intended to clarify which practices we should protect and which ones should be addressed through various approaches to minimize harm. Such approaches should consider the local Indigenous communities as victims of ecological discrimination rather than perpetrators of environmental harm.

“…Communities also traditionally plant trees as fences and to mark the boundaries of their lands. Shifting cultivation is predominantly implemented by the Dayak community in Kalimantan, specifically in wetlands situated on shallow peat or riverbanks (Nopembereni et al, 2018;Silvianingsih et al, 2020). Currently, the inhabitants of riverside villages who formerly laboured on embankments have migrated progressively to the side of the major road and initiated agricultural endeavours in the vicinity of the recently established community, which is predominantly situated on substantial deep peat.…”

Peatland is a unique ecosystem with water saturation; peatland regulates hydrological processes, climate, environmental conditions, and biodiversity. Poor management practises regarding peatlands can lead to land degradation, and peatland degradation typically has negative effects. Recent tropical peatland research in Indonesia has predominantly revolved around the examination of the ecological consequences resulting from various management approaches. There is little study on farmers' agroforestry efforts to preserve and restore degraded peatlands. A comprehensive examination was undertaken to assess a range of facts, information, and scholarly articles pertaining to the practise of agroforestry on peatlands in Indonesia. The primary incentive for farmers to adopt agroforestry systems originates from their recognition of the impending scarcity of trees. By integrating intercrops with cultivated trees, farmers anticipate generating adequate money to fulfil their family's economic requirements. Farmers who choose intensive intercropping practises are motivated by market demand, whereas farmers who do not adopt this approach tend to favour crops that necessitate less rigorous management. The provision of governmental assistance holds significant importance, and there is a pressing need for additional guidance and support. The potential for rehabilitating degraded peatlands by the implementation of agroforestry practises of native tree species is considerable. Their growth patterns contribute to enhanced vegetative coverage, resulting in heightened moisture levels, reduced temperatures, diminished fire hazards, and improved peat soil quality. The relationship between the physiography of the land and the depth of the peat is directly associated with the patterns and components of agroforestry in peatland environments.

Population growth and land management are severe issues in Indonesia as a developing country. This condition leads to the food security problem and creates a high demand for land to become an agricultural area. Meanwhile, Indonesia is known for having two-third of the terrestrial area as forest area and at the same time, the availability of the agricultural area is limited. These opposite issues are creating a phenomenon in forest conversion to become an agricultural area. Due to this situation the agricultural sector is considered as the sector responds for “deforestation- leading-to-climate change” in Indonesia as happened in Labian Village, West Kalimantan. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of an involvement of the forest-dependent- community of Labian Village in the investment program of forest and climate change to combat the deforestation-leading-to-climate change issues through the activities of sustainable agriculture. Based on an explorative study from the five-year project, it is known that sustainable agriculture can be done back-to-back with the mission to avoid encroachment to the forest area. By implementing the participatory land-use planning as a tool of sustainable land management, the community now can maximize the utility from their land and generate sufficient welfare.
