Peningkatan Produktivitas Hutan dengan Teknik Silvikutur Intensif (SILIN)

Summary

The video discusses Indonesia's forest management and efforts to increase productivity through intensive silviculture techniques. Indonesia's forests cover approximately 66% of its land and are categorized into production, conservation, and protected areas. Natural forest areas have declined over the years, reducing timber production. To address this, the government promotes intensive silviculture, combining tree breeding, environmental management, and pest control, particularly for Meranti trees. Key practices include strip and gap planting on logged-over forests with suitable slopes and accessibility. Benefits include reduced forest degradation, increased timber production, higher investment and exports, more employment, and support for carbon emission reduction targets.

Takeaways

• 🌳 Indonesia has a total forest area of 125.64 million hectares, covering approximately 66.4% of its land area.
• 🏞️ Forests in Indonesia are classified into production forests (68.82 million ha), conservation forests (27.423 million ha), and protected forests (29.628 million ha).
• 🪵 Production forests include 30.104 million ha under utilization permits: 61% in natural forests and 36% in plantation forests.
• 📉 Between 1993 and 2018, Indonesia lost 42.25 million hectares of natural forest, averaging 2.2 million hectares per year.
• 📦 Natural forest production declined by 21 million m³ from the 1990s to 2018 due to deforestation and degradation.
• 🌱 Intensive silviculture techniques (Celine) aim to increase forest productivity by combining tree breeding, environmental manipulation, and pest management.
• 📜 The legal basis for Celine is set by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, under Regulation No. 12 of 2018, updated by No. 4 of 2019.
• 🗺️ Suitable areas for Celine include former logged-over production forests, with slopes under 25%, good accessibility, proper drainage, and low soil density.
• 🌿 Celine can be implemented using strip planting or gap planting patterns, primarily with Meranti tree species.
• 💼 Benefits of intensive silviculture include reducing forest degradation, increasing timber production, boosting investment and exports, generating employment, and supporting carbon emission reduction targets.
• 🔧 The application of Celine enhances sustainable forest management and helps balance economic, environmental, and social outcomes in the forestry sector.

Q & A

What is the total forest area of Indonesia and what percentage of the country's land does it cover?

Indonesia has a forest area of approximately 125.64 million hectares, which covers around 66.4% of the country's land area.

How are forests in Indonesia classified in terms of function?

Forests in Indonesia are classified into three functions: production forests (68.82 million hectares), conservation forests (27.423 million hectares), and protected forests (29.628 million hectares).

What proportion of production forests has been allocated for different types of forest utilization permits?

Out of the total production forests of 68.08 million hectares, 61% (18.73 million hectares) have been given various forest utilization permits.

What has been the trend in Indonesia’s natural forests between 1993 and 2018?

Between 1993 and 2018, Indonesia’s natural forests decreased by 42.25 million hectares, averaging a loss of 2.2 million hectares per year, leading to a decline in natural forest production by 21 million cubic meters.

What is the main strategy to increase wood productivity in natural forests?

The main strategy is the application of intensive silviculture techniques (Celine) for all holders of Timber Forest Product utilization permits in natural forests.

What are the three main elements combined in intensive silviculture techniques?

Intensive silviculture techniques combine tree breeding, environmental manipulation, and management of plant pest organisms.

What legal regulations govern the application of intensive silviculture techniques in Indonesia?

These techniques are governed by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry through the Directorate General of Sustainable Production Forest Management, specifically Regulation of the Director General of PHPL Number 12 of 2018, updated by Number 4 of 2019.

What are the criteria for selecting areas to apply intensive silviculture techniques?

Selected areas include former logged-over production forests, areas with a slope of up to 25%, good accessibility, good drainage, and areas with low soil density.

What planting patterns can be used for implementing intensive silviculture?

The technical application can use strip planting patterns or gap planting patterns.

Which tree species is primarily used in intensive silviculture programs in Indonesia?

The Meranti tree group is primarily used for intensive silviculture in natural production forests.

What are the benefits of implementing intensive silviculture on a large scale?

Benefits include reducing forest degradation, increasing timber production, boosting investment in the forestry sector, increasing exports and non-tax state revenue, creating direct employment (2000 man-days per sector), and accelerating carbon emission reduction targets.
