The planet's future is closely linked to the existence of forests and forestry as a support and driver of human life systems. Advances in science and technology that change the needs of the earth's population for food, energy, water resources and a clean environment can only be provided if the function of forest ecosystems can be appropriately maintained.
Tropical forests in Indonesia are the third largest in the
world, and other forest ecosystems determine the level
of community welfare and conservation of biodiversity.
The challenges faced, and innovations developed by
different countries to manage their diverse forest
landscapes must be exchanged to enhance the collaboration
of earthlings to save the
remaining forests.
Within this broad theme, several learning menus will be
presented, namely 1) rehabilitation, restoration and land
reclamation efforts for the recovery of various forest
ecosystem landscapes (mineral, mining, peat and
mangrove), 2) sustainable forest management to
increase carbon emission absorption, 3) community-based
forest management models
to improve community
welfare, 4) various utilization
of timber, non-timber
forests and environmental services,
and 5) cultural
recognition
and exchange.
This summer course activity is expected to equip participants to recognize more deeply and be able to explain and effectively communicate learning material about managing forest landscapes and forest-dependent communities in various types of governance. Participants are expected to:
