Liaforestry-Sustainable Forest Management Model Using Multi-purpose Tree Species for Reforestation and Climate Change Mitigation, Lesson Learned from Meru Betiri National Park

The need to share information related to plant diversity of the biocultural landscape during the Anthropocene epoch in Indonesia. Rehabilitation areas of Wonoasri resort are selected to expose the plant diversity of tropical forest succession in Meru Betiri National Park (MBNP) because of human intervention. The study has been subjected to review reforestation projects and their success in the park, and to analyze lessons learned from liaforestry-sustainable forest management model using multi-purpose plant species (MPPS) for reforestation and climate change mitigation. The pilot case representative is demonstration plots located at the rehabilitation areas within MBNP. Literature reviews and plot samplings are used to collect data. Quantitative data are analyzed using ecological approaches, while qualitative data are analyzed using comprehensive descriptive analysis. Without intervention of human activity, plant diversity of tropical forests in MBNP showed high H′ Shannon–Wiener Index which is about H > 2.5 on average. The implementation of liaforestry-sustainable forest management model using multi-purpose plants impacts on increase plant species composition and diversity that impact on bird diversity, increase people (rehabilitation farmer) income, improve structure and function of secondary tropical forest and increase carbon stocks that result in sustainable climate change mitigation. Intensive communication individually or in group to build their trust and commitment for partnership are implemented for this community-based management.
