Merangin, February 6, 2026 — The Jambi Provincial Government held the First Planting Movement, Baumo Prayer, and Environmentally Friendly Rice Planting as part of the BioCF–ISFL Program in the rice fields of the Usaha Baru Farmers Group in Seling Village, Tabir District, Merangin Regency, on Friday (February 6). This activity marked the start of the planting season and reinforced the commitment to sustainable and low-emission agriculture in Jambi Province.

The event was attended by Jambi Governor Dr. H. Al Haris, members of the Provincial and Regency Leadership Communication Forums (Forkopimda), representatives from ministries, regional officials, agricultural extension workers, and farmers. In his remarks, the Governor emphasized that Jambi is one of the implementing provinces for the BioCF–ISFL program, which aims to support low-emission development through strengthened governance and sustainable practices in the forestry, agriculture, and land use sectors.

According to the Governor, the implementation of the BioCF–ISFL in Jambi is currently in the pre-investment phase, focusing on institutional strengthening, capacity building for local governments and communities, policy alignment, and strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems. He also emphasized the importance of environmentally friendly agriculture as the future of the agricultural sector because it can reduce production costs, reduce dependence on chemicals, and maintain soil fertility.

The Baumo Prayer (Doa Turun Baumo), part of a series of events, was also promoted as a manifestation of local community wisdom in welcoming the planting season, reflecting the balance between effort, prayer, and harmony with nature. The government hopes this cultural approach will strengthen farmers' enthusiasm and participation in implementing sustainable cultivation practices.

According to a committee report from the Jambi Province Food Crops, Horticulture, and Livestock Service, this inaugural planting movement included rice seed assistance for 30 hectares of land for the New Enterprise Farmers Group in Seling Village. The BioCF–ISFL program itself has been running since 2022, and 2026 will be the final stage of the pre-investment phase before entering the performance-based payment phase. This program aims to encourage sustainable land management, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate deforestation, and improve farmers' livelihoods.

The Governor also highlighted the potential of the approximately 171 hectares of rice fields in Seling Village, which are considered strategic for development as a regional food barn. Merangin Regency itself is included in the food self-sufficiency area, in line with the regional development direction of Jambi Province. He added that the increase in the Jambi Farmer Exchange Rate in January 2026 to 173.36 indicates a trend of improving farmer welfare and provides a source of optimism for this year's planting season.

The Jambi Provincial Government hopes that this first planting movement will not remain merely a ceremonial activity, but rather the starting point for a productive, environmentally friendly planting season that will have a direct impact on improving farmer welfare and regional food security.

IGES, an agency under Japan's Ministry of the Environment, introduced a forest and peatland firefighting soap technology that is considered capable of increasing the effectiveness of firefighting and reducing carbon emissions. This technology has been used in Japan since 2007 and has been tested in Indonesia, particularly in Central Kalimantan, since 2011.

Trials in the peatlands of Central Kalimantan were conducted in stages starting in 2016  and were further developed in 2018. In trials in Central Kalimantan in 2013, IGES showed significant results. The use of this firefighting soap was able to accelerate the extinguishing process by up to a third faster with less water required compared to conventional methods.

Large-scale demonstrations have also been conducted in front of stakeholders in Central Kalimantan. Based on the experience of the local BPDP, soap-mixed water can penetrate peatland layers to a depth of about four meters, thereby helping to extinguish fires in the lower layers.

During a coordination meeting with local government and relevant agencies, IGES presented plans to expand the pilot project to Jambi Province. Jambi was deemed suitable as a location for further testing due to its peatland characteristics, which are prone to annual fires. The pilot project is planned to take place during the dry season, between June and October, with a limited number of samples.

In addition to supporting efforts to control forest and land fires, this technology is also expected to contribute to reducing carbon emissions and carbon credit schemes. IGES stated that the initial products will be exported from Japan, but if demand in Indonesia increases, it is possible that a factory will be built in Indonesia using local raw materials.

Opportunities for cooperation are also open not only with the government, but also with the private sector, particularly plantation companies that are considered to have a high need for land fire suppression technology.

Jambi, December 22, 2025 – Climate change is no longer a global issue that is far removed from everyday life. Its impacts are real, ranging from extreme weather, forest and land fires, to threats to people's livelihoods. Amid these challenges, Jambi Province has emerged as one of the regions that is seriously taking steps towards low-carbon development by strengthening forest and carbon governance.
This commitment is reflected in the development of various greenhouse gas emission control initiatives, ranging from strengthening the REDD+ architecture, implementing Carbon Economic Value (NEK), to implementing the BioCarbon Fund-Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF-ISFL) program supported by the World Bank.

Natural Capital and Regional Commitment
With a complete forest ecosystem—ranging from lowland rainforests and mountains to peatlands and mangroves—Jambi is strategically positioned to reduce emissions from forestry and land use. More than 40 percent of the province is still covered by forests, including four national parks that are home to key Sumatran wildlife species.
The Jambi Provincial Government is also considered to have a relatively strong institutional foundation. REDD+ institutions have been established, forest and land fire prevention policies continue to be strengthened, and social forestry schemes have been developed to encourage community-based forest management.
“Efforts to reduce emissions cannot be separated from regional development planning. Therefore, climate action must be integrated with the economy, spatial planning, and community welfare,” was one of the common themes that emerged in various presentations.

BioCF-ISFL: Insentif untuk Menjaga Hutan
Through the BioCF-ISFL Program, Jambi Province is targeting a reduction in emissions of up to 10 million tons of CO2e. This program includes interventions in various Forest Management Units (KPH), social forestry, peatlands, and non-forest areas. BioCF-ISFL not only focuses on reducing emissions, but also aims to encourage sustainable productive activities such as agroforestry, environmentally friendly agriculture, and restoration of degraded land.
For regions, this scheme presents a strategic opportunity to link environmental protection with direct economic benefits, while supporting Indonesia's ambitious FOLU Net Sink 2030 target.

Carbon Nesting, Bringing Together Multiple Initiatives
As carbon projects develop at the local level—whether community-based, social forestry, or concession-based—new challenges arise. Without clear mechanisms, the risks of double counting, double claims, and conflicts of interest are inevitable.
This is where carbon nesting becomes crucial. Nesting is a mechanism for aligning carbon projects with provincial jurisdiction programs and national policies, so that all emission reductions can be recorded, verified, and utilized legally.
Various nesting approaches are discussed, ranging from full integration (fully nested), partial integration (partially nested), to transition options that allow projects to continue while adjusting the baseline and MRV system to the jurisdiction.
International standards such as Plan Vivo emphasize the role of smallholders and communities as the center of activities, while ART-TREES opens opportunities for local governments to issue jurisdictional carbon credits that can be traded on voluntary and regulated markets. This flexibility allows Jambi to choose the approach that best suits the characteristics of its region.

Community at the Center of Governance
Another important issue is how to ensure that communities are not merely objects, but subjects in the carbon economy. The polycentric governance approach emphasizes that decision-making must involve multiple actors at various levels, with communities as the main point of convergence.
The principles of free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC), equitable benefit sharing, social and environmental safeguards, and monitoring mechanisms are key elements to ensure that carbon policies do not create new inequalities.
“Forest conservation must provide tangible benefits to the communities living alongside the forests” is a powerful message that continues to be emphasized.

Towards an Integrity Carbon Market
With the issuance of the Presidential Regulation on Carbon Economic Value and its derivative regulations, Indonesia has entered a new phase of emissions management. Carbon trading is no longer viewed solely as an environmental instrument, but also as part of the national development strategy.
For the province of Jambi, readiness to enter the carbon market requires clarity on carbon rights, a credible MRV system, and cross-sector and cross-regional coordination. These challenges also open up opportunities for Jambi to become a national model for integrity in carbon governance.
In the future, Jambi's success will not only be measured by the amount of emissions reduced or the value of carbon traded, but also by its ability to balance forest protection, community welfare, and sustainable green economic growth.
 

Sungai Penuh/Kerinci – To support the implementation of the Result-Based Payment (RBP) phase of the BioCarbon Fund–Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF ISFL) program, outreach activities were held in Sungai Penuh City and Kerinci Regency from December 14–17, 2025.

This activity aimed to provide all stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of the results-based payment concept, including its objectives, implementation mechanisms, and the success indicators that must be achieved for payment to be realized. Furthermore, the outreach activities were also aimed at strengthening coordination between local governments, communities, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations involved in the BioCF-ISFL program.

The first outreach was held in Sungai Penuh City on Monday, December 15, 2025, at the Sungai Penuh City Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda), and continued in Kerinci Regency on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at the Kerinci Regency Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda). Both activities began at 8:30 a.m. Western Indonesian Time and were attended by representatives of regional government agencies and relevant stakeholders.

The discussion in Sungai Penuh City included safeguard documents in accordance with Ministerial Regulation No. 21 of 2022, including the process for submitting community proposals to the safeguard secretariat and the format for the Environmental Management Statement (SPPL), which adheres to World Bank standards. Furthermore, the importance of establishing a Working Group (Pokja) through a Regional Head Decree was emphasized, adapting to regional needs and ensuring the inclusive involvement of all competent parties.

The discussion also highlighted the differences between villages receiving performance allocations and villages receiving socio-economic incentive allocations. Villages receiving performance allocations are determined based on emission reduction calculations by the Measurement, Analysis, and Reporting (MAR) team, while villages receiving socio-economic incentive allocations are determined based on processed data from the Regency and the Spatial Information Agency (BIG), which is then discussed with stakeholders before being proposed to the provincial level.

Meanwhile, during the socialization in Kerinci Regency, the local government is expected to immediately establish a Regency Working Group (Pokja) and submit a draft of its formation to the National Development Planning Agency (SNPMU). Membership of the Working Group (Pokja) is recommended based on names, not positions, to ensure long-term sustainability. In addition, the mechanism for allocating funds for Social Forestry (PS) based on the area and emission reduction performance calculated by the MAR team was also discussed.

Regarding socio-economic incentives, Kerinci Regency is encouraged to immediately register potential beneficiary villages, considering that the deadline for determining RBP fund recipients is December 31, 2025. After that date, unregistered villages will be ineligible for results-based payment benefits.

In conclusion, the Sungai Penuh City and Kerinci Regency governments are expected to immediately establish a Working Group (Pokja) covering greenhouse gas emission calculations, safeguards, benefit-sharing mechanisms, and monitoring and evaluation. Furthermore, potential village boundary conflicts will be further discussed at the provincial level. The list of villages receiving socio-economic incentives will be determined through a discussion mechanism at the district level and ratified by a Governor's Decree.

Through this outreach, it is hoped that all parties will have a common understanding, active community participation will increase, and the implementation of the BioCF ISFL Program will be transparent, accountable, and sustainable.

Jambi – The BioCarbon Fund–Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF-ISFL) program in Jambi Province continues to show significant progress as an effort to reduce emissions from the forestry and land use sectors. This World Bank-supported program implements a Results-Based Payment (RBP) scheme, where payments are only made based on verified, tangible emissions reductions.

In a presentation by Rahmad Mulyadi, he explained that the BioCF-ISFL program is implemented through three main stages: preparation, pre-investment, and performance-based payments. During the preparation phase, which took place from 2019–2021, the Jambi Provincial Government, together with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), prepared various important documents, such as the Emission Reduction Program Document (ERPD) and safeguard documents, as well as established institutions and designated four Forest Management Units (KPH) as intervention areas.

Entering the pre-investment phase from 2021–2025, Jambi received a grant from the World Bank of approximately USD 13.5 million. These funds will be used to support activities at the Forest Management Unit (KPH) and regional government organization (OPD) levels, with a focus on creating supportive conditions for emission reduction. Performance payments have not yet been made at this stage, as field preparation is still underway.

Meanwhile, in the RBP phase, covering the 2020–2026 period, Jambi Province is targeted to reduce emissions by 10 million tons of CO₂e, with a payment rate of USD 7 per ton. However, to date, this payment has not been realized because the Emission Reduction Payment Agreement (ERPA) is still in the signing process.

In terms of implementation, socialization and the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) process, or Padiatapa, have been conducted in 230 villages. All villages have agreed to participate in the program without coercion. The RBP prerequisite documents were also declared final in early 2025.

Dio Mulyanda explained that the calculation of emission reductions is carried out through the Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) or Measurement, Analysis, and Reporting (MAR) system, by comparing actual emissions against historical baseline emissions. The results of this calculation form the basis for claiming RBP payments. Entities eligible to receive benefits include villages, FMUs, national parks, permit holders, social forestry, and local governments mandated to manage the area.

Regarding benefit sharing, Hendra Admaja stated that the mechanism is regulated in the Benefit Sharing Mechanism (BSM) document and refers to national regulations. The largest allocation of benefits is based on emissions reduction performance, but villages that do not fall into the performance category still have the opportunity to receive support through socio-economic allocations.

Social and environmental protection aspects are also a primary concern. Taufik explained that REDD+ safeguards are implemented to minimize social and environmental risks, such as land conflicts, health risks, and gender equality issues. Safeguards include environmental document screening, complaint management through the Feedback and Grievance Redress Mechanism (FGRM), and regular monitoring and evaluation.

During the discussion, representatives from the Community and Village Empowerment Agency (PMD) inquired about the possibility of adding more beneficiary villages. The resource person emphasized that additional villages are possible as long as they are within the intervention area and meet the program criteria. Monitoring, evaluation, and auditing issues were also highlighted, with the emphasis being placed on multi-layered oversight, including audits through an intermediary institution (Lemtara) scheme, which adheres to international climate finance practices.

In conclusion, the BioCF-ISFL Program is considered to offer broad benefits to villages and regional stakeholders in Jambi. The program's success depends heavily on the signing of the ERPA, strengthening institutional capacity through technical guidance, and the active role of the Regency/City Working Groups (Pokja) coordinated by the Environmental Agency in ensuring effective, transparent, and accountable program implementation.

West Tanjung Jabung – As part of the socialization of the Result-Based Payment (RBP) phase of the BioCarbon Fund – Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF-ISFL) Program, the implementation team conducted an official visit to West Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi Province. The activity took place on December 15, 2025, at the West Tanjung Jabung Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) Office.

The visit aimed to convey the latest developments in the BioCF-ISFL Program, specifically regarding the RBP stages, the local government's readiness to prepare RBP proposals in accordance with the Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP) Document, and identify obstacles faced by the region in program implementation.

During the socialization, participants received an explanation of the BioCF-ISFL implementation stages, the status of the Emission Reduction Payment Agreement (ERPA), and emission calculation methods, including an example of calculating emission factors due to forest cover change. Furthermore, West Tanjung Jabung Regency was declared to have understood the Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MAR) process, which includes collecting fire and deforestation data, spatial analysis, and preparing emission reduction reports.

A benefit-sharing mechanism specific to West Tanjung Jabung Regency, namely direct transfers to villages by the Environmental Fund Management Agency (BPDLH), was also presented and well-received by participants. This socialization also explained the beneficiary groups, including companies holding HGU (right-to-use permit) permits and independent farmers allocated as buffers.

In addition to technical aspects and benefit distribution, safeguard program instruments, the Feedback and Grievance Redress Mechanism (FGRM), and a list of prohibited activities (negative list) were comprehensively presented to representatives of regional government agencies (OPD), village governments, and relevant stakeholders.

Overall, the BioCF-ISFL RBP socialization activity in West Tanjung Jabung Regency proceeded well and successfully increased stakeholders' understanding of the MAR flow, benefit-sharing mechanism, and the provisions for direct fund disbursement from BPDLH to villages. Although several villages still require further assistance in preparing proposals and collecting baseline data, this activity is considered to have strengthened West Tanjung Jabung Regency's readiness for the RBP phase and supported program implementation at the district level.

Batanghari – The BioCarbon Fund–Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF-ISFL) program in Jambi Province has continued to show significant progress since its inception in 2019. The program is designed in three phases: preparation (2019–2021), pre-investment (2021–2025), and performance-based payments (RBP) in 2020–2026.

In discussions involving various stakeholders, it was reported that the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) process, or FPIC, has been conducted in 230 villages/sub-districts located in and around forest areas across all regencies/cities in Jambi Province. All villages have expressed their willingness to participate in the BioCF-ISFL program without coercion and have signed a Minutes of Agreement.

In addition, important prerequisite documents such as the Emission Reduction Program Document (ERPD), Benefit Sharing Mechanism (BSM), Safeguards, and Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD) have been prepared and finalized as the basis for the Emission Reduction Payment Agreement (ERPA). However, the ERPA is still awaiting signature.

It was agreed that the performance payment rate would be set at US$7 per ton of CO₂e, with an emissions reduction target of 10 million tons of CO₂e. The RBP fund is projected to reach approximately US$70 million and will be disbursed during the 2025–2026 period through the Environmental Fund Management Agency (BPDLH).

Under the RBP mechanism, emission reduction performance is measured through the Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system (known as MAR in Jambi), which compares actual emissions from 2020–2022 with baseline emissions based on historical data from 2006–2018. Emission reduction is declared achieved if actual emissions are lower than the baseline.

Regarding benefit distribution, there are five beneficiary groups: the government, the private sector, communities/villages, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and universities. The largest allocation is given to communities and villages, including Social Forestry groups, Forest Management Units (KPH), conservation units, and businesses that contribute directly to emission reduction. The form of benefits consists of monetary (cash) and non-monetary (in-kind) benefits, with a composition of 40 percent allocated for emission reduction activities and 60 percent for socio-economic programs.

In Batanghari Regency, the Forest Management Unit (FMU) plays a strategic role as the spearhead of forestry implementation. The FMU is tasked with cross-sector coordination, preparing and recommending proposals, and preparing environmental documents in accordance with safeguard provisions. The FMU is also part of the working group (Pokja) and is one of the program's beneficiaries.

This program involves nine villages across three sub-districts: Mersam, Muaro Sebo Ulu, and Muaro Bulian. Villages with and without forest areas are encouraged to participate in inclusive forest management.

The Batanghari Regency Government has demonstrated its strong commitment by integrating the BioCF-ISFL program into the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) as part of its greenhouse gas emission reduction strategy. With the readiness of the province and district, the BioCF-ISFL program is expected to provide environmental benefits while improving community welfare in a sustainable manner.

The Jambi Provincial Government, through the BioCarbon Fund – Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF–ISFL) Program, conducted a socialization of the Result-Based Payment (RBP) Phase in East Tanjung Jabung Regency. The event took place on December 12, 2025, at the Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency Bappeda Office.

The purpose of this official visit was to convey the latest developments in the BioCF–ISFL Program, specifically regarding the RBP stages, the status of the Emission Reduction Payment Agreement (ERPA), and emission reduction targets. Furthermore, the event focused on conveying the regional government's readiness to prepare RBP proposals in accordance with the Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP) Document, while also identifying various challenges faced at the regional level.

The event provided a presentation on the BioCF–ISFL stages, emission calculations, baseline determination, land use change activities, and the role of Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV/MAR) in verifying emission reductions. The benefit-sharing mechanism is also explained in detail, including allocations for the government, villages, social forestry, the private sector, NGOs, and universities, as well as the mandatory allocation of at least 10 percent for Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI).

The Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency Environmental Agency stated that it understands its duties and role in screening RBP proposals in accordance with the BSP and the importance of synchronizing them with regional development plans. Furthermore, various local issues were discussed, such as the availability and validity of land cover data, plantation HGU status, and the readiness of social forestry entities as potential program beneficiaries.

Overall, the socialization of the BioCF–ISFL RBP in Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency went well and was deemed effective in increasing local government understanding. This activity also strengthened coordination between regional agencies as a first step to expedite the preparation of RBP proposals in accordance with BSP provisions. Going forward, this activity is expected to be followed up with further technical assistance to address data constraints and the readiness of regional entities.

Muaro Jambi — As part of the socialization of the Result-Based Payment (RBP) phase of the BioCarbond Fund—Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscape (BioCF-ISFL) program to districts/cities in Jambi Province, the implementation team conducted an official visit to the districts/cities in Muaro Jambi. This activity took place on December 8, 2025, at the Muaro Jambi Regency Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) office.

The visit aimed to convey the latest developments in the BioCF-ISFL program, specifically regarding the RBP stages, the regional government's readiness to prepare RBP proposals in accordance with the Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP) Document, and to identify various obstacles faced at the district level.

During the socialization activity, participants received a comprehensive presentation on the stages of the BioCF-ISFL program, including the preparation phase, pre-investment phase, and RBP phase. Additionally, the status of key supporting documents, such as the Emission Reduction Program Document (ERPD), Benefit Sharing Mechanism (BSM), Safeguards, and Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD), was also discussed.

The Muaro Jambi Regency Government also gained an understanding of the revised Emission Reduction Payment Agreement (ERPA) target, now set at 10 million tons CO2e. Participants received a detailed explanation of the RBP proposal development mechanism, the screening process by the Regency Environmental Agency (DLH), and the importance of program synchronization with the Village Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM Desa) and the Regency RPMJD.

Furthermore, the socialization also covered the Measurement, Analysis, and Reporting (MAR) process, from collecting data on land cover, forest and land fires, Near Real-Time (NRT) monitoring, spatial analysis using BioCF Tools, to preparing emission reduction reports. Material on safeguards, environmental documents, and the Feedback and Grievance Redress Mechanism (FGRM) was also presented and received a positive response from the Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) and stakeholders in attendance.

As a result of this activity, the Muaro Jambi Regency Working Group (Pokja) expressed its commitment to strengthening the role of the Safeguards secretariat, Monitoring and Evaluation (MONEV), and the village proposal verification process in supporting RBP implementation.

Overall, the BioCF-ISFL RBP Program socialization in Muaro Jambi Regency went smoothly and was deemed to have provided participants with a stronger understanding. While technical capacity building is still needed, particularly in MAR, safeguards, and land cover data updates, this activity provided a crucial foundation for the follow-up development and verification of RBP proposals at the district level.

Upaya pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis kehutanan dan lingkungan yang dilaksanakan di Desa Sungai Merah, Desa Pematang Kolim, dan Desa Pematang Kabau menunjukkan hasil positif dalam meningkatkan kapasitas masyarakat sekaligus menjaga keberlanjutan sumber daya alam. Program yang dilaksanakan pada Tahun Anggaran 2024 dan 2025 ini mencakup kegiatan Sekolah Lapang Agrofosrestri, pengembangan usaha lebah madu, serta pemulihan ekosistem di kawasan Taman Nasional Bukit Dua Belas (TNBD).

Di Desa Sungai Merah, kegiatan Sekolah Lapang Agroforestri pada TA 2024 menjadi sarana peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mengelola lahan secara berkelanjutan. Melalui kegiatan ini, telah dibangung demplot agroforestri seluas 3 hektare dengan tanaman jangka panjang berupa durian dan mangga. Meski hasil ekonomi belum dapat dirasakan dalam waktu dekat karena sifat tanaman yang membutuhkan waktu tumbuh cukup lama, kegiatan ini berhasil membuka wawasan masyarkat tentang pentingnya pengelolaan lahan jangka panjang. Program tersebut diharapkan menjadi ivestasi masa depan yang mampu meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat dengan dukungan pendampingan teknis dan pengelolaan yang berkelanjutan.

Sementara itu, di Desa Pematang Kolim, Kelompok Tani Hutan (KTH) Pematang Kolim mendapatkan kegiatan pengembangan bisnsi berupa bantuan setup lebah madu pada TA 2025. Kegiatan ini bertujuan membuka peluang usaha baru melalui budaya lebah madu. Anggota kelompok telah memperoleh pelatihan mulai dari perawan lebah, pemberian pakan, hingga teknik pemanenan madu. Saatu ini, panen madu sudah dapat dilakukan setiap 25 hari sekali, meskipun jumlalh produksinya masih terbatas akibat sebagian koloni lebah yang kabur. Untuk mendukung pemasaran, kelompok telah menjalin kerja sama dengan pelaku Usaha Mikro Kecil (UMK) setempat. Dari sisi kelembagaan, pembagian tugas antaranggota telah berjalan dengan baik, menunjukkan komitmen kelompok daam mengembangkan usaha madu secara berkalnjutan.

Adapun di Desa Pematang Kabau, kegiatan difokuskan pada pemulihan ekosistem di kawasan Taman Nasional Bukit Dua Belas melalui kerja sama antara pihak taman nasional dan KTH Lestari. Kelompok yang berdiri sejak 2013 ini beranggotakan 23 orang dan dipimpin oleh Slamet Riyadi. Dalam pelaksanaannya, KTH Lestari berperan aktif tidak hanya dalam penanaman kembali, tetapi juga dalam produksi bibit secara mandiri. Metode yang digunakan adalah pengkayaan jenis (enrichment planting) dengan menanam jenis-jenis lokal seperti durian, alpukat, jengkol, dan rambutan. Kegiatan ini bertujuan meningkatkan keanekaragaman hayati sekaligus memberikan potensi manfaat ekonomi jangka panjang bagi masyarakat sekitar.

Secara keseluruhan, pelaksanaan ketiga program tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pemberdayaan masyarakat yang disertai pendampingan teknis dan penguatan kelembagaan mampu memberikan dampak positif bagi lingkungan dan ekonomi masyarakaat. Meski masih menghadapi sejumlah tantangan, seperti masa tunggu panen agroforestri, rendahnya produksi madu, serta kebutuhan pemeliharaan tanaman rehabilitasi, ketiga desa memiliki potensi besar untuk berkembang. Dengan pendampingan berkelanjutan dan kolaborasi multipihak, program ini diharapkan dapat menjadi model pemberdayaan masyarakat yang memberikan manfaat ekologis dan ekonomi secara berkesinambungan.
