Background

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.

Outcomes & Curriculum

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:

  • Profound recognition and clarification of current and future visions of desired forest landscape management according to the dynamics of actors' interests and contestations.
  • Identify and explain the extent of threats to forest rehabilitation, restoration and reclamation efforts on forest land in different types of forest ecosystem landscapes and governance regimes.
  • Identify and explain the dynamics and practices of community-based forestry programs under various governance as a model for sustainable forest management.
  • Identify and explain forest management monitoring efforts for climate change mitigation in various countries and forest types and forest utilization based on timber, bioenergy, non-timber and environmental services in Indonesia.
  • Able to interact with various cultures and know the history and cultural heritage of the archipelago (especially Yogyakarta).
  • Prepare a simple scientific paper related to the themes presented during the short course.
