| description | Sustainable peatland management of tropical peatland is efforted by restoration to accelerate restoring peatland ecosystem function within an area of Peatland Hydrological Unit (PHU), and to preserve water and regulate water system in a natural way. This study observes the possibility of social forestry scheme as a strategy to restore peatlands by discussing regulations, local practices of communities, potential economic benefits, and potential areas. Our observation is based on desk study and reviewing research outputs
of Deputy Research and Development of Peat Restoration Agency particularly related paludiculture, we classified the case study which social-forestry enabler, as well as field observation. This shows that PP No. 57/2016 enables peat restoration operationalizing with
social forestry concepts. Some (local) practices enable community participation in managing peatlands by gaining benefits from several ecosystem services (case study in Sungai Beras, East Tanjung Jabung, Jambi), integrating with other forestry management nearby (case study in Protected Peat Forest Londerang, East Tanjung Jabung, Jambi), decreasing social conflict (case study in Beram Itam, West Tanjung Jabung, Jambi); while in Kepulauan Meranti, action research in agroforestry elicited that the awareness about the wise practices in managing timber product and non timber forest product is potential for social forestry practices. Meanwhile, integrated peat restoration is possible by adapting the concept of forestry to cultivation function of peatlands. This practice will increase the benefit to the communities from economic benefits from agriculture and ecosystem services provided by forestry management model in a longer period; and facilitate a stepwise change towards reforestation. Social forestry in peatland has the potential to be a trade-off between social interests, economic values, and environment. |
