in Forest Rehabilitation
By

The forest has important
role for human life, as producers of
goods and services. Besides that, forest
also has function that related on ecological, social, and economic
aspects. But a lot of forest resources
have been exploited excessively without considering
about its sustainability. The condition of socio-economic in forest
community is a major pressure factor to
forest sustainability. Based on the data from the Ministry of Forestry (1994) from 27.2 million people who lived in around
forest area, there are 34% of community that belongs as the poor and their life depends on forest resources
(Rajati 2006). Although the communities
always utilize forest products, but their
welfare are still staying on in the poverty line. This condition become a big problems because
the communities who utilize the forest resources, their welfare are still under
the standard of normal live.
Various ways to handle the critical land has been conducted by the government. There are several programs focusing on reforestation, afforestation, National
Movement for Rehabilitation (GNRHL). But, the success of the reforestation
activities was relatively low about 68 % and 21 %. Whereas rehabilitation of degraded land has
been assessed on expended government budget only (Anonymous 2008). The
fundamental problem is to change the critical land become the productive land
by using the land optimally. Many partial ways to solve the problems that has
been done, actually it hasn’t solved the problems yet. Therefore, the strategy
to solve the problem must be changed based on the community approach, for
example through an agroforestry system.
