Abstract

Efforts to utilize natural resources are still constrained by activities that do not pay attention to the principles of sustainable environmental development. Various environmental disasters occur due to forest deforestation and degradation including floods, landslides, global warming, and further impacts on health. Thus, the role of tropical forests as a controller of environmental change is very important, including as one of the mainstay sectors in efforts to reduce the rate of emission (emitter) or the rate of carbon sequestration (removal) in an effort to meet the target of Nationally Determinant Contribution (NDC) in West Papua with a decrease of 29%. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from own efforts and 41% from international assistance. The supply of ecosystem services from the variety of unique and distinctive species and the computation of carbon potential in the absorption of GHG emissions are two environmental service activities that are currently the main emphasis. The allometric equation was used for carbon stock analysis from purposive sampling conducted at PT Cendrawasih Hijau. The results showed that the carbon potential from the aboveground biomass (AGB) and the belowground biomass (BGB) was 430 tons C/ha and 150 tons C/ha, respectively, respectively.
