Indonesia's forests are one of nature's priceless gifts. It contains not only ecological wealth that maintains the balance of the earth, but also extraordinary economic potential. This includes forests in the Production Forest Management Unit (KPHP) Unit VIII Hilir Sarolangun area, Jambi Province, which manages 110,372 hectares of forest. This area consists of various types of land cover, including secondary forests, which experienced a decrease in area of 8,576 hectares (7.77 percent) between 2000 and 2019. To overcome the decline in the amount of cover while still paying attention to the economic interests of communities around the forest, one way to optimize the presence of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) can be done.
NTFPs are a great opportunity for local communities to improve their welfare in a sustainable manner. NTFP management in this region can also be a clear example that Indonesian forests not only produce wood, but also various products of high economic value which can improve the economy of local communities and increase the country's foreign exchange. The diversity of NTFPs in the Sarolangun area includes products such as kepayang oil, forest honey, mountain salt, semangkok flowers, rattan, bamboo, citronella and sengkawang oil. Each of these products has its own value, both as an economic resource for local communities and as a symbol of Indonesia's natural wealth that must be protected. One of its superior products is kepayang oil, which is known as cooking oil without cholesterol, rich in natural omega-3s, and free of pesticides. In addition, this oil is processed into derivative products such as soap, lotion and "Kepayang Message" massage oil, which opens up new economic opportunities for the community.
Apart from kepayang, local people also produce mountain salt from natural salt water which is rich in iodine. Even though it still uses traditional methods, this salt has been marketed as far as Java. Technological support is expected to increase production efficiency and quality. Utilization of forest honey from Apis dorsata bees in this area also supports ecosystem sustainability. Sustainably harvested forest honey has become a superior product with high quality. Rattan and bamboo also contribute through various handicrafts produced by forest farmer groups, such as mats and miniature cruise ships. This business involves housewives, while also preserving forests. Citronella and sengkawang oil are other commodities with high economic value. Citronella is processed into essential oil for beauty products, while sengkawang oil is sold at high prices, reflecting the diverse potential of Indonesia's forests which supports a sustainable economy.
However, the successful management of NTFPs in Jambi also requires the support of various parties, including one initiative involving KPHP Unit VIII Hilir Sarolangun as the program implementing unit, namely BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF ISFL). This World Bank-funded program seeks a comprehensive approach in supporting sustainable economic development, environmental conservation and community empowerment.
The BioCF ISFL program in Jambi aims to support sustainable forest and landscape management, with a focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, while improving community livelihoods. In the context of managing NTFPs in KPHP Hilir Sarolangun, this program can be a concrete example of involving various parties to realize positive initiatives, for example in terms of providing technical assistance and training for local communities. This program provides training to local communities to improve the quality of NTFP products, such as kepayang oil, forest honey and rattan. This assistance includes sustainable production techniques, packaging, and marketing strategies.
Apart from that, there is infrastructure support and technology transfer where this program involving the Ministry of Environment and Forestry as the National Technical Commission helps increase production efficiency, in terms of providing modern equipment for refining essential oils, honey processing technology and mountain salt processing. With this technology, people are able to increase production output and product quality. Through this program, various NTFP products from Jambi, such as forest honey and kepayang oil, have been introduced to the national and international markets. For example, forest honey from this area was exhibited at forestry product exhibitions. Forest farmer groups in this area also receive business management training, so they are able to run NTFP businesses more professionally and sustainably.
Through this program there is also education for the public about the importance of preserving forests. This approach ensures that the use of NTFPs is carried out without damaging the ecosystem, such as through sustainable honey harvesting techniques. In the future, more programs like this need to be developed as a real form of collaboration between the government and development partners in implementing strategic interventions to support NTFPs. In the future, it is also time to develop data-based landscape planning because mapping of potential NTFPs using geospatial technology can be more precise in determining priority areas for sustainable NTFP development. Various emission reduction initiative programs must also be directed at encouraging green investment through partnerships with the private sector, such as companies that purchase NTFP products directly from farmers or forest farming groups.
NTFPs must also be integrated into climate change mitigation strategies through reducing carbon emissions from deforestation, which also provides additional benefits in the form of financial incentives to local communities. The success of intervention through emission reduction programs in Jambi forests will ultimately be seen from various important parameters, including increasing the welfare of communities around the forest. With increasing income from NTFPs, people are not only able to meet their daily needs, but also access better education and health services.
In addition, an approach that integrates forest landscape management and economic development will be proof of the program's effectiveness in reducing the rate of deforestation and improving environmental quality. So in the future, it is hoped that Jambi's forests can provide a concrete example that the potential of NTFPs can be developed as an economic driving force that is in line with environmental conservation.
The world is currently facing a major challenge in maintaining a balance between economic development and environmental sustainability. Indonesia, as one of the world's most biodiverse countries, has a major responsibility in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions and conserve its natural resources. One initiative that provides hope for the future of sustainable development in Indonesia is the BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF-ISFL) program implemented in Jambi.
BioCF-ISFL is one of the World Bank's programs that aims to support sustainable forest land management with a holistic approach. This program not only aims to reduce deforestation and land degradation, but also to improve the welfare of communities living around forest areas. This is why the program is highly relevant to the concept of sustainable development that includes economic, social, and environmental aspects. Jambi was chosen as the location for the program implementation because the province has rich forests that are one of the main pillars of the Sumatran ecosystem. However, the land in this province is also one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to deforestation and forest degradation. Through this program, the Government of Indonesia is committed to reducing emissions as much as possible, a move that will not only impact the local environment but also the global one.
Phase of ImplementationThe implementation of the project is divided into several phases, with the pre-investment phase taking place in 2021-2025 being an important first step. In this phase, important interventions are made to strengthen institutions and policies related to sustainable land management. The goal is clear: to encourage changes at the policy level and implementation on the ground to be more aligned with emission reduction efforts. One indicator of the success of this program is the area of land that is managed sustainably.
In the first semester of 2024, 268,630 hectares of land in Jambi have been managed with an approach oriented towards emission reduction. Although this figure has not yet reached the 2025 end target, this achievement shows that landscape management efforts in Jambi Province are already on the right track. This management includes reforestation, land restoration, and sustainable forest management that involves various parties, including the private sector. However, the implementation of this project is not without challenges. Tenurial issues, land use conflicts, and forest fires are still challenges that need to be overcome.
One of the solutions proposed in the report is the implementation of social and environmental safeguards, as well as map-based conflict resolution mechanisms. These measures, although complex, are expected to ease land tenure conflicts that are often the source of deforestation problems. On the other hand, the program must also ensure that the benefit sharing mechanism (benefit & sharing & plan) works well. Through this mechanism, the Government is trying to ensure that the benefits of emission reductions are not only felt by the Government, but also by local communities who are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Active participation from communities around forests and conservation areas is key to the success of this program. One thing that should be appreciated from the implementation of this project is the involvement of the private sector in the implementation of more sustainable land management practices.
In the first semester of 2024, 11 companies from the plantation sector have committed to support the emission reduction program in Jambi Province. This collaboration between the government, private sector, and community is expected to accelerate the achievement of emission reduction targets in the province. Not only that, the government also encourages companies to utilize the CSR (corporate social responsibility) forum as a platform to contribute to environmental programs that have an impact on emission reduction. This creates a mutually beneficial symbiosis between the Government, companies, and communities.
Keeping the forestOne of the advantages of the BioCF-ISFL program in Jambi is its integrative approach. The program involves various parties, including the local government, local communities, and the private sector, to work together in managing natural resources wisely. This shows that forest conservation and community welfare need not be seen as contradictory. Instead, they can complement each other. The program essentially provides incentives to local communities to protect forests, while encouraging them to develop environmentally friendly livelihoods. For example, farmers are taught sustainable agricultural practices that do not damage the forest, such as agroforestry and cultivating high-value crops without having to clear new land. This not only reduces pressure on the forest, but also increases the community's income.
One of the main objectives of the program is to reduce carbon emissions from deforestation and land degradation. Tropical forests in Indonesia, including in Jambi, have great potential as natural carbon sinks. By keeping forests intact, it is possible to reduce the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere while helping to stabilize global climate change. In practice, this effort is not just about reducing emissions. The BioCF-ISFL program also provides a clear example that sustainable development does not have to come at the expense of economic growth. In fact, through a green economy approach, it can create new opportunities for communities around forest areas. From ecotourism to carbon trading, a variety of new economic opportunities can open up if everyone keeps the ecosystem healthy.
The future implementation of the BioCF-ISFL program in Jambi is expected to be an inspiration for other provinces in Indonesia that also have similar problems in terms of forest and land management. A collaborative approach, involving various stakeholders, is the key to the success of this program. Thus, other local governments can learn from Jambi's experience in implementing sustainable development based on environmental preservation. On the other hand, communities across Indonesia can start to become more aware of the important role forests play in maintaining ecological and climate balance. The more people who understand the importance of protecting forests, the greater the support for conservation efforts across the country. This is because this initiative is not just an environmental project, but a clear proof that sustainable development can be achieved through strong cooperation between the government, the community, and the private sector. More than that, this program is a platform for Jambi to collectively realize the broader thinking of how all can live in harmony with nature without having to sacrifice economic growth.
The success of this program, later in Jambi, can be the foundation for Indonesia in achieving global climate targets while strengthening Indonesia's position as one of the countries with a strong commitment to sustainable development. In the next few years, the biggest challenge is to ensure that policy changes and practices on the ground are sustainable. Policy reforms that support environmental sustainability should be further encouraged, not only at the provincial level but also at the district and city levels. The implementation of the One Map policy in Jambi Province must also be accelerated. Synchronizing geospatial data across different levels of government will help reduce overlapping land use that is often a source of conflict. The Jambi Provincial Government, with support from the Central Government and NGOs, should ensure that all parties can access and utilize this data transparently.
This ISFL BioCF project demonstrates that cross-sector collaboration is essential for sustainable landscape management. The government, private sector, communities and academics must continue to work together to achieve the emission targets that have been set. Not only for local interests, but also as Indonesia's contribution in maintaining global climate balance.
Bukit Dua Belas National Park (TNBD) in Jambi Province is a tropical forest area that is rich in biodiversity and home to the Suku Anak Dalam community, also known as Orang Rimba. This forest not only provides habitat for flora and fauna, but also a living space and livelihood for local communities who depend on natural resources to fulfill their daily needs. However, TNBD faces great challenges in preserving the forest and ecosystem. Activities such as wildlife poaching by irresponsible individuals, illegal logging, forest encroachment, and land conversion pose a serious threat to the sustainability of this forest.
In addition, the pressures of modernization and social change threaten the sustainability of Suku Anak Dalam's traditional culture and livelihoods. To address these challenges, various conservation and community empowerment initiatives have been implemented. One of these is the introduction of agroforestry techniques, which integrate agricultural practices with forest conservation. Through this approach, communities are encouraged to grow economically valuable crops such as rubber, coffee and medicinal plants under the shade of forest trees so as to increase income without damaging the forest ecosystem. The Suku Anak Dalam community was also provided with seedlings of multipurpose tree species (MPTS) and fruits including petai, jengkol, kabau as part of the ecosystem restoration program.
In addition, non-timber forest product-based economic empowerment programs have been developed. Communities are encouraged to manage and market products such as forest honey, rattan and handicrafts that have high selling value. This approach not only improves economic welfare, but also encourages forest conservation as communities have a direct incentive to preserve their natural resources. The role of Suku Anak Dalam in forest conservation is crucial. They have deep traditional knowledge of forest ecosystems and sustainable natural resource management practices.
However, marginalization and external pressures have threatened the survival of their culture and knowledge. Therefore, conservation efforts must respect and integrate the local wisdom of Suku Anak Dalam. One example of an initiative involving Suku Anak Dalam is a culture-based education program. This program integrates traditional knowledge with the formal curriculum so that the younger generation can understand the importance of forest conservation and their culture. In addition, skills training such as handicraft making and non-timber forest product processing is provided to improve their economic capacity. Collaboration between the Government, nongovernmental organizations, and local communities is essential in the TNBD conservation efforts.
Conservation initiativesVarious forest conservation programs have been implemented with various results that can be used as learning materials. One that is still in the process of implementation includes the BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF ISFL) Program. This program is one example of an initiative that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through forest protection and reforestation. The program is facilitated by a multilateral fund and supported by donor countries such as Germany, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, managed by the World Bank. Its activities consist of three phases: preparation, pre-investment, and results-based payments.
The implementation of programs such as BioCF ISFL in TNBD involves various parties, including Forest Management Units (FMUs) and National Park Agencies. Pre-investment activities are focused in four FMUs, namely KPH Hilir Sarolangun, KPH Bungo, KPH Tanjung Jabung Barat, and KPH Merangin, as well as four National Park Councils, namely Kerinci Sebelat, Berbak Sembilang, Bukit Dua Belas, and Bukit Tiga Puluh National Parks, plus the Jambi KSDA Center. This program is not just an effort to conserve forests, but is also designed to have a real impact on the welfare of local communities. This initiative is a real step towards realizing sustainable forest management, while reducing carbon emissions and restoring threatened ecosystems.
The main objective of ISFL's BioCF program in Bukit Dua Belas National Park is to protect forests and restore damaged ecosystems, while at the same time creating economic opportunities for surrounding communities The implementation challenge faced at the beginning was how to change the mindset of communities who have been dependent on extractive forest use, such as logging or wildlife hunting. Of course, it takes time to build trust and educate them on the importance of preserving the forest. However, with the right approach, it can slowly build awareness that forest conservation and community economic improvement are not mutually exclusive, but can go hand in hand.
The program begins with efforts to involve the community in various forest restoration activities, such as tree planting, nursery construction, and forest patrols. Community involvement in each of these stages not only increases their sense of ownership of the program, but also opens up new opportunities for them to earn income from more sustainable activities. One of the main approaches in this program is the introduction of agroforestry techniques to the community. Agroforestry is a method that combines agriculture with forest management, allowing communities to utilize the land without destroying the forest. Forest farmer groups are strengthened and trained in environmentally friendly cultivation techniques. Through these techniques, communities can produce non-timber forest products such as forest honey, rattan and medicinal plants. These products not only have high economic value, but also help preserve the forest.
Active community participation is crucial to the success of this program. From the training provided, many of them are now starting to shift from practices that damage the forest to more sustainable activities. In terms of ecology, forest cover in the national park area is expected to be maintained, and forest destruction that was once a serious problem can now begin to be suppressed. One of the most expected indicators of success is the increase in biodiversity in the area. Some key species that were rarely seen before, such as tigers and siamangs, are expected to start inhabiting the Bukit Dua Belas National Park area again. This indicates that the ecosystem in this area is recovering and functioning again as an ideal habitat for various species.
In addition to the ecological impact, ISFL's BioCF program also has a significant economic impact on the surrounding community. Through the training and mentoring provided, the community now has a new source of income from non-timber forest products. One important innovation in this program is the establishment of a local cooperative that serves as a forum to facilitate the marketing of forest products. With this cooperative, communities not only have access to a wider market, but can also get better prices for their products. The success of conservation and community empowerment programs in TNBD cannot be separated from the support of various parties. Collaboration between the Government, non-governmental organizations, and local communities is key in preserving forests and improving community welfare. With a holistic and participatory approach, it is hoped that TNBD can become a model of sustainable forest management that respects local wisdom and provides benefits for all parties.
Cultural IdentityConservation efforts in TNBD also face the complexities of indigenous communities, including having to consider the social and cultural dynamics of Suku Anak Dalam. Research shows that their cultural identity is closely tied to the forest as a source of life and spirituality. Therefore, conservation programs must respect and integrate their cultural values, such as in marriage, birth, and death practices associated with local wisdom.
In addition, it is important to understand the history of marginalization experienced by Suku Anak Dalam, especially during the New Order era, where they experienced pressure to assimilate and lost access to their customary territories. Understanding this historical context is important for designing empowerment programs that are sensitive to their needs and aspirations.
In the long term, the sustainability of TNBD depends on a balance between environmental conservation and the socio-economic well-being of local communities. An approach that integrates conservation with economic empowerment, education and cultural preservation will ensure that forests remain sustainable and communities can enjoy their benefits on an ongoing basis. With a joint commitment from all parties, Bukit Dua Belas National Park can become a successful example of sustainable forest management that respects local wisdom and provides benefits for future generations.
*Head of Bukit Dua Belas National Park, Jambi.
Jambi – Jambi Province has enormous potential to carry out emission reduction activities through forest and land management. Remembering that Jambi Province has 4 National Parks, as well as 29 traditional forests which are the largest forests in Indonesia plus Social Forestry areas spread across 10 KPHs.
Regarding the Bio Carbon Fund program, the Jambi Provincial Government through the Sub National Management Unit (SNPMU) is currently carrying out outreach activities to 10 regencies/cities to provide a general overview of patterns of determining and measuring emissions, determining and benefit distribution schemes and procedures for distributing benefits as well as safeguard functions and monitoring and evaluation standards that will be implemented in the management of benefit funds later.
And the implementation of activities within the scope of BioCF-ISFL is a form of Jambi Province's commitment to playing an active role in implementing emission reduction.
“The Jambi Provincial Government has committed and will continue to implement the concept
REDD+ in Jambi Province means reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation as well as increasing conservation and forest carbon reserves," emphasized the Head of Bappeda for Jambi Province, represented by the Head of the Economy and Natural Resources Division who is also the deputy chairman of SNPMU BioCF Dr.Ahmad Subhan. S.IP. M.Si today (7/10) at the opening of the BioCF-ISFL socialization event which was attended by officials from the Kerinci Regency Government.
Subhan further added that the Jambi provincial government has integrated the 2019-2045 Green Economic Growth Road Map with the Jambi Province RPJMD Planning Document.
Apart from that, it is also strengthened by the existence of Jambi Province regulations through Jambi Province Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2023 concerning the Green Economic Growth Plan which shows the strong commitment of the Governor of Jambi and the DPRD of Jambi Province.
So that the benefits of implementing REDD+ within the Green Economy framework can be felt by the entire community, Jambi Province is currently implementing the BioCF-ISFL program where through this program the target is to reduce emissions by 10 million tons of CO2 equivalent accompanied by Result Based Payment (RBP) or performance-based incentives reached 70 million USD.
Head of monitoring and evaluation at SNPMU Dharmawansyah SP. MM also appealed to all parties to support the implementation of activities within the scope of BioCF-ISFL.
"I hope for cooperation and support from all parties," stressed Wawan when delivering socialization material about monitoring and evaluation.
The Regent of Kerinci, who was represented by Assistant for Economics and Development H.Atmir, S.E, MM, in his speech emphasized that the Kerinci Regency really supports the Bio Carbon Fund activities and is ready to collaborate to reduce emissions by exploiting the potential of forests in the Kerinci Regency area.
"I hope that through this program the village communities around the forest can improve their welfare," explained Atmir after opening the BioCF RBP Phase Socialization event which was held in the hall of the Kerinci Regency BAPPEDA-Litbang office.
