Conception of The Precautionary Principle in International Environmental Law: Ecosystem or Humanity?

This paper discusses the concept of the precautionary principle as a bridge between the dichotomy of ecosystem protection and human safety. A pertinent example is the proposed evacuation road in Kerinci, which has yet to receive permission due to its planned route through Kerinci Seblat National Park. The issue is analyzed using a normative approach. The research concludes that the precautionary principle establishes a balance between the objectives of ecosystem safety and human safety as a fundamental right. Therefore, the state must not neglect its responsibilities and should maintain oversight of all policies, ensuring that prior decisions are guided by stringent risk analysis. This approach emphasizes the importance of integrating ecological considerations into development policies, ultimately aiming for sustainable coexistence between human needs and environmental preservation.

IDENTIFIKASI JENIS TANAH DI KAWASAN GUNUNG TUJUH RESORT KERINCI UTARA, TAMAN NASIONAL KERINCI SEBLAT

Indonesia is known as the country that has the most active volcanoes, namely 30% in the world. The type of igneous rock determines the type and characteristics of the soil that will be formed. The soil in Indonesia's tropical forest volcano areas is dominated by volcanic soil or Andosol soil. The TNKS area is one of the areas that has Andosol soil. This research was conducted in March 2024 and was located in the lower mountain area of the Gunung Tujuh Region, Kerinci Seblat National Park using a field survey method. The stages of this research include taking soil samples in 6 layers with a height of each soil being 20 cm. The soil that has been taken is then analyzed using the Munsell Soil Color Chart book and the sense of touch directly. The research results show that the Hue value is the same in each layer, namely 7.5 YR and the color shows differences according to the depth of the soil, namely very dark, strong black, strong brown and dark brown. The soil structure is dominated by a crumb structure and texture of sandy loam, dusty clay loam and clay loam.

On the Study of Structural Equivalency for Animal Conservation in Species-Habitat Network Form

Kerinci Seblat National Park is a combination of 17 forest groups located on the island of Sumatra. This study will discuss modeling the relationship between animals and their habitats in the form of an ecological network. The relationship between species and habitat is an essential topic in animal conservation. This relationship can be modeled as a graph called the habitat-species network, with two types of vertices: species (V^s ) or habitat (V^h ). The edge connecting a species vertex and a habitat vertex represents the species ever visiting the habitat. This study aimed to discuss three measures for describing the relationship between species and habitats: structural equivalence, Jaccard similarity, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Structural equivalence of a group of habitats represents the similarity of animals that visit the same habitat, the Jaccard similarity describes the percentage of habitats visited by a pair of different animals, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient shows the significance of the relationship between the two species.

The diversity and traditional use of home garden plants near Kerinci Seblat National Park, Indonesia

Abstract. Suwardi AB, Navia ZI, Mubarak A, Rahmat R, Cristy P, Wibowo SG, Irawan H. 2024. The diversity and traditional use of home garden plants near Kerinci Seblat National Park, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 3284-3299. Home gardens are traditional agroforestry systems that improve plant diversity and ecosystem services while also having a direct and beneficial effect on human well-being. Each plant species in a home garden provides a variety of ecosystem services, which are linked to specific ecological functions and social drives. Although home gardens are biodiversity hotspots and have recently been identified as essential to tropical biodiversity conservation, the benefits of ecosystem services offered by home gardens are frequently undervalued. This study aims to analyze the diversity, usage, and traditional knowledge of home garden plants among the local communities living near Kerinci Seblat National Park, Indonesia. This study was carried out in four villages from two districts of Bengkulu Province, Indonesia, i.e. Lebong and Rejang Lebong. Field surveys, plant collections, and interviews with local communities were used in this study. Interviews were conducted with 120 informants (30 in each village) selected at random. A total of 218 plant species belonging to 67 families associated with 12 use categories were recorded in the study area. Capsicum frutescens, Musa x paradisiaca, and Mangifera indica are frequently discovered in home gardens. The most diverse categories of plant use in home gardens encompass food, medicine, and ornament, utilizing various parts such as rhizomes, leaves, flowers, and fruits. Home gardens, with their diverse plant species, are considered to have a significant role in household livelihoods, protecting plant genetic resources, and biodiversity conservation.

Livelihood Diversity of Rural Communities Without Legal Access to Forest Resources: The Case of Kerinci Seblat National Park in Bengkulu Province

Kerinci Seblat National Park in Bengkulu, Indonesia, was gazetted by the Indonesian government, and its overlaps with forests occupied by most indigenous communities made their farming activities in the area illegal. People were prohibited from accessing and expanding their farming areas in the national park, threatening their livelihoods. The livelihood diversity index (LDI) and livelihood asset index (LAI) were used to explore the livelihood systems of these communities. This study also examines the effect of livelihood assets on livelihood diversity and analyzes livelihood strategy choices using Giddens’ structuration theory. A quantitative survey combined with in-depth interviews was conducted in two villages with different land types: wetlands (rice fields) and drylands (farmlands). This study found that the communities diversified their livelihoods into eight types of livelihood strategies. Almost all livelihood indicators were different, and the differences in livelihood asset indicators affected the LDI. As a process of structuration, communities have diversified their livelihoods into farm (e.g., annual and perennial crops), off-farm (e.g., farm wages), and non-farm (e.g., services and government transfer) activities. Rural households have modified their social and physical structures to secure their livelihoods by optimizing agricultural intensification technologies or by seeking non-agricultural income. Households decide whether to specialize or diversify their livelihoods based on factors such as the area of cultivated land, number of crops cultivated, distance of the farming location from the house, total household income, non-farm income, and reciprocal relationships.

Diversity and abundance of edible plants as non-timber forest products in Kerinci Seblat National Park, Rejang Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province

Besides timber, forests also have another potential, both vegetable and non-timber forest products (NTFPs), which can be a potential food source. Forests make an essential contribution to food security and nutrition. Kerinci Seblat National Park is a conservation forest with high biodiversity, including edible plants. However, its type and abundance have been unknown. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine edible plants’ diversity, abundance, and spatial distribution in the utilization zone of Kerinci Seblat National Park. The research was conducted with purposive sampling in four utilization zones using the nested plots method, namely 20mx20m plots (tree level), 10mx10m (pole level), 5mx5m (sapling level), and 2mx2m (seedling level). From the 80 plots, we found 21 species of edible plants belonging to 18 families. Fifteen plant species were obtained from different families of each species. The remaining six species come from 3 families: Arecaceae, Zingiberaceae, and Moraceae, each having two plant species. The highest species abundance value is Etlingera coccenia, while the other 20 species have low values. Most of the edible plants’ spatial distribution patterns were clumped (52%); the rest were in random and uniform ways, 29% and 19%, respectively.

'Women's Dependency Rate on the Kerinci Seblat National Park Area in Fulfilling Their Basic Needs

Kerinci Seblat National Park experienced an encroachment rate during 1990-2014 of 2,737 ha/year or 52.6% of the highest encroachment area in the Tropical Rainforest Heritage of Sumatera. Dependence on forests is done to meet basic needs such as food and animal feed. A study was required to determine the level of women's dependence on Kerinci Seblat National Park through the fulfillment of basic needs. The data collection methods used were a literature study, field observation, and an in-depth interview. Ranking the level of dependence of women in the Kerinci Seblat National Park conservation area through the fulfillment of basic needs based on the Indonesian High Conservation Value Toolkit Revision Consortium (2008). The existing land in Pal VIII Village is mainly agricultural land, namely coffee plantations. The research results through in-depth interviews showed that women in Pal VIII Village fulfill their needs for food, energy sources, and medicines, many of which are obtained from outside the area. Cultivation was carried out on their private land and utilized in their yard. Women's use of forest resources in the area was low because women met their basic needs from outside the Kerinci Seblat area. The characteristics of fulfilling women's basic needs were mostly met in several ways, namely cultivation, buying, and taking from private gardens. Thus, the level of dependence of Pal VIII Village women to fulfill their basic needs in the Kerinci Seblat National Park area was low.

Genetic variation and phylogenetic position of Taxus sumatrana (Miq.) de Laub. (Taxaceae) in Sumatra, Indonesia based on trnL-trnF region

Abstract. Kamal I, Arrofaha N, Susila, Yulita KS, Rachmat HH, Susilowati A. 2023. Genetic variation and phylogenetic position of Taxus sumatrana (Miq.) de Laub. (Taxaceae) in Sumatra, Indonesia based on trnL-trnF region. Biodiversitas 24: 5155-5166. Taxus sumatrana (Miq.) de Laub. is a synonym of T. wallichiana Zucc. by some authors based on morphological characters and its distribution. This species is a medicinal plant and contains taxol as an anti-cancer with slow natural regeneration rate and increasing threats to their existence. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity and the phylogenetic analysis using trnL-trnF for T. sumatrana growing in Sumatra, Indonesia. The total of 37 individuals from three natural populations of T. sumatrana were studied, consisting of the current new collection from Toba - North Sumatra and previously studied population of Dempo - South Sumatra and Sungai Penuh, Kerinci Seblat National Park - Jambi. The Toba population did not show variation at individual level within the population as similar results were obtained from the previous study. However, one indel (- and A) was found at 217 bp from all three T. sumatrana populations from Sumatra, Indonesia. When the sequences were aligned with the reference sequence from GenBank, single base substitutions were found at 344, 478,722, and 757 bp consisting of one indel and three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Phylogeny tree showed that T. sumatrana from Sumatra population clustered together with T. mairei and T. wallichiana var. mairei and later combined with other T. sumatrana available in NCBI.

Pendampingan Pembentukan Website Desa Wisata Renah Alai Kabupaten Merangin

Renah Alai is a small village located in Jangkat Subdistrict, Merangin Regency, directly adjacent to the Kerinci Seblat National Park (TNKS). TNKS is often heard about because this area is an important tropical forest area for the world. In 2004, the area was included in the list of World Heritage Siteas Cluster Mountainous Tropical Rainforest Heritage Site of Sumatra (TFCA-Sumatra, 2016). But unfortunately, Renah Alai is rarely known to the public due to limited information about the state of the area. To demonstrate the existence of Renah Alai, it is necessary to have a mentoring program for village youths in establishing and managing a website in Renah Alai Tourism. Through assistance by providing practices for youth in managing village websites for potential promotion activities of the tourism sector, it is hoped that it will be able to introduce Renah Alai to the public and will later improve the welfare of the local community.

Forest Dynamics and Agroforestry History since AD 200 in the Highland of Sumatra, Indonesia

Understanding past forest dynamics and human influence is essential for future forest management and ecosystem conservation. This study aims to provide insights into the forest dynamics and agroforestry history in the highlands of Sumatra for the last 1800 years. We carried out palaeoecological multi-proxy analyses of pollen, spores, non-pollen palynomorphs, macro-charcoal, and X-ray fluorescence on a limnic sediment core taken from Danau Kecil in the submontane area of Kerinci Seblat National Park in Sumatra, Indonesia. Our results provide an 1800-year record of forest dynamics under climate change and human influence including the transition from forest opening to shifting cultivation and eventually permanent agroforestry. Indicators for forest openings and secondary forest formation have been present since the beginning of records (AD 200). This is followed by the possible initiation of sugar palm (Arenga) cultivation (AD 400). Since AD 500, potential agroforestry and forest gardening practices have promoted major timber trees such as Lithocarpus/Castanopsis, Bischofia, and Dipterocarpaceae combined with sugar palm (Arenga). Permanent agroforestry systems were possibly established since AD 1760, evinced by an increase in commodity trees such as Dipterocarpaceae for resin production. With the Dutch invasion ca. AD 1900, agroforestry intensified and expanded to the Kerinci Valley. This was followed by land use intensification and potential rice cultivation around Danau Kecil since the 1940s. This study provides the first details on past forest dynamics around Danau Kecil since AD 200, showing among others how appropriate forest management and a closed canopy could reduce fire vulnerability in submontane rainforest.

Late Holocene volcanic and human impacts on the mountain vegetation in central Sumatra, Indonesia

The Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) has been a region of great significance for palynological studies featuring the combination of unique tropical vegetation, tectonics determining frequent volcanic eruptions, and a long settlement history. This palynological study aims at reconstructing ecosystem processes and is based on a long-term analysis of vegetation composition in the mountainous region of Sumatra. The research question focused on the influence of natural disturbance such as climate and volcanism, and anthropogenic impacts and fire on vegetation dynamics in the KSNP in the Sumatran highlands. A 2300-year-old lake sediment record of Danau Belibis at 2078 m asl. provides insights into the changes in vegetation composition over time in a mountainous tropical rainforest region in Jambi province. Over the entire record, Taxus was the most dominant genus. Volcanic eruptions caused continuous competition between volcanophile taxa like Casuarina and Myrica, and primary forest taxa. Settlements and agricultural activity are represented throughout the whole record. Forest clearings for wood exploitation and cultivation took place in the period from 1600 to 1000 years BP and from 600 years BP to the present. Crops were already introduced at the beginning of the record in the Kerinci highland region. The charcoal record illustrates only occasional fire events caused by natural forces. Our findings refer to the vulnerability of vegetation dynamics concerning important environmental drivers and suggest volcanic events as an important factor for environmental changes in the highlands of Sumatra.

Community Contribution to Ecosystem Restoration in Giri Mulyo Village as a Role Model of Kerinci Seblat National Park, Jambi-Sumatra, Indonesia

Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) experienced deforestation due to agriculture and plantation activities conducted by people residing around the national park. A role model concept was taken to address this problem, and to restore the forest by involving local communities in Giri Mulyo Village. The objective is to assess a model for ecological restoration and socio-economic support. Indicators include livelihood replacement, and tree species consisting endemic and multi-purpose (MPTS) biodiversity measured using biodiversity indices. Analysis of the species composition in the restored area shows Margalef species richness in the low category (0.88) but the Shannon diversity index (H’=1.72) and Evenness (E=0.61) suggest moderate diversity. The Simpson’s dominance index of 0.77 (away from 0) indicates that the site in Giri Mulyo Village is not dominated by a few tree species. These indices demonstrate biodiversity improvement compared to monoculture practices. This approach is a novel way to simultaneously resolve conflict and encroachment issues. Ideal scenario requires that MPTS commodities planted at a composition of at least 50% of the total tree density to support livelihoods. An alternative income source is still needed to compensate for the decreased agricultural income due to the restoration until MPTS can be harvested.

Optimizing Household Economic Resource to Lessen Population Pressures on Villages around Kerinci Seblat National Park Bengkulu Province

Villages around Kerinci Seblat National Park (Taman Nasional Kerinci Seblat, TNKS) have experienced population pressure. This condition which if not addressed immediately will encourage the community around the TNKS to enter and encroach the forest to meet their household needs. This is getting worse along with the finding that the community around TNKS also does not have many alternative sources of income. For this reason, designing strategies for optimizing household economic to lessen population pressures are noteworthy. Focus group discussion (FGD) and analysis hierarchy process (AHP) was applied to design and to determine development strategy for household economic empowerment and twenty-five key informants including fifteen farmer households were interviewed. The AHP results conclude that the production aspect is the most important that needs to be given priority in the development of plantation production. This conclusion is based on its highest relative priorities (weights), i.e., 0.298. Of the three programs identified and using weight result of AHP, community seed assistance is the most important program in the development of plantation production (weight of 0.494). The seed assistance program is the most important compared to providing soft loans (weight of 0.29) and expanding to production inputs accessibility (weight of 0.216). Meanwhile, human resource development aspects are the most attractive strategy for food crop production development, especially rice, with a weight of 0.325. Aspects of human resource development are more focused on improving farmer knowledge in cultivation than marketing and post-harvest handling aspects. Optimization of pekarangan resources is directed to the development of the chicken farm (weight = 0.274) focused on improving the production aspect (weight = 0.328). Among three priority programs, day-old chicken assistance (weight = 0.512) is more needed than access to soft loans (weight = 0.242) and feed programs (weight = 0.246).
