TOPIC

For better or worse, good governance is at the heart of any successful measures. In managing non-excludable goods such as common poll resource and public good, good governance is required to prevent the tragedy of the commons. It is often very complicated and entangled with many sectors, yet it is essential to drive improvement and achieve the common objective toward a better and sustainable world.

Sustainable Peatland Management in Indonesia – <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indonesia</a>, with its vast archipelago and diverse ecosystems, is home to some of the world’s most critical peatlands. These unique wetlands serve as natural carbon sinks, storing massive amounts of carbon and playing a crucial role in global climate regulation. Rich in biodiversity, they provide a habitat for countless plant and animal species, many of which are endemic to the region. However, human activities such as deforestation, agricultural expansion, and drainage for plantations have severely threatened these ecosystems. The loss of peatlands not only endangers wildlife but also disrupts water cycles and increases the risk of natural disasters.As peatlands degrade, they release significant amounts of greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change and worsening air pollution through frequent peat fires. These fires have caused severe environmental and health crises, affecting millions of people across Southeast Asia. Without proper intervention, the destruction of peatlands will continue to accelerate, leading to irreversible ecological damage. Sustainable peatland management in Indonesia is now a crucial strategy to restore these ecosystems while supporting local communities that depend on them. By integrating conservation with sustainable peatland management in Indonesia development, Indonesia can safeguard its peatlands and secure a more resilient future for both people and nature.<h2>The Importance of Sustainable Peatland Management in Indonesia</h2>Peatlands in Indonesia play a pivotal role in the nation’s ecological and economic framework. These wetlands act as carbon sinks, sequestering vast amounts of CO2, and are home to unique flora and fauna that thrive only in these habitats. Unfortunately, unsustainable practices like slash-and-burn agriculture and drainage for palm oil plantations have led to peatland fires, which release significant greenhouse gases and cause harmful haze affecting millions.Sustainable peatland management in Indonesia is more than just an environmental necessity; it is a commitment to securing livelihoods, protecting biodiversity, and addressing climate change. Organizations like the Tay Juhana Foundation are at the forefront, advocating innovative and impactful solutions to conserve and restore peatland ecosystems.<h3>Championing Sustainable Peatland Management in North Jakarta</h3>Peatland degradation in regions like North Jakarta highlights the urgency of sustainable peatland management in Indonesia interventions.

Sustainable Peatland Management in Indonesia

In Indragiri Hilir, Riau, known as &quot;The Land of a Thousand Parit,&quot; the traditional canal system, or parit, is the lifeline of the community. More than just agricultural infrastructure, the parit embodies communal knowledge, intercultural cooperation, and an adaptive response to the tidal peatland environment. This system not only sustains agriculture but also serves as the primary access connecting villages and supporting livelihoods.However, this socio-ecological system, which has endured for generations, is now facing serious threats. This research brief delves into the multidimensional challenges confronting the parit, from environmental degradation, such as soil subsidence, flooding, and water contamination to the economic and social pressures weakening its communal governance.By tracing the history of the parit, its function as a community-based water management system, and its current condition, this research proposes a way forward. Recommended solutions include strengthening governance through deliberation (musyawarah), restoring ecological buffer zones like mangrove and nipah forests, and diversifying local economies to reduce farmer vulnerability. Understanding the parit not merely as infrastructure but as an integrated socio-ecological system is key to its revitalization and ensuring its sustainability amidst mounting challenges.

The study explores the role of social capital in promoting social sustainability within small-scale coconut plantations in Indragiri Hilir, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative approach, this preliminary research engaged 65 farmers and 15 middlemen through extensive in-depth interviews and group discussions. Spanning diverse rural landscapes across the coastal areas of Indragiri Hilir—including Pulau Burung, Kateman, Tanah Merah, Teluk Belengkong, Pelangiran, Tembilahan, Enok, Sungai Batang, and Reteh Districts, covering 15 villages—the study addresses specific challenges and opportunities for sustainable practices unique to each locality. Through a nuanced examination of bonding, bridging, and linking forms of social capital, the findings underscore the pivotal role of social capital in fostering social sustainability.This encompasses aspects such as agricultural finance, supply chain dynamics, agricultural regeneration, and sustainable land management, facilitated by knowledge exchange, resource sharing, and collective action. The research highlights that the relationships among farmers, characterized as “bonding social capital,” constitute the fundamental basis for coconut ecosystem sustainability. However, addressing more complex challenges and meeting advanced needs requires expanding relationships beyond homogeneous groups of farmers. Therefore, fostering connections among actors at different levels and scales, represented by “bridging and linking social capital,” becomes crucial because vertical connections serve as a conduit to enhance bonding capital through interactions with external stakeholders.Download the Full Paper <a href="https://www.bio-conferences.org/articles/bioconf/abs/2025/09/bioconf_icsard2024_02001/bioconf_icsard2024_02001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>
