The study aims to determine the strategy of developing ecotourism based on community participation and stakeholder involvement. The research method used was a survey method by making direct observations to the location of attractions and conducting an inventory of forms of community involvement with interview technique. Then a focus Group Disscusion (FGD) is conducted to get the same perception between the community and stakeholders. Data were analyzed qualitativelvy using SWOT analysis. The results showed that the ecotourism potential in the village of Hukurila was very diverse both in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems including naturan and cultural potentials.The potential of natural tourism consists of Tihulessy  beach, Wailirang beach, Zeu beach, underwater cave with a variety of  coral reefs, waterfalls, beautiful landscape. Cultural potential consists of the “cuci desa ”,  cakalele dance, nyainyai dae dance, ”batu badiri’ and local wisdom ”sasi”.  Community perception shows that 83.3% of respondents agreed to develop ecotourism activities and community participation related to tourism activity planning, implementation of activities and development of tourism facilities supported by tourism stakeholders such as local governments and NGOs: IFAD, Mahina Arika and Walang Perempuan who are actively support tourism activities SWOT analysis shows ecotourism activites in Hukurila village according to quadran I (Aggressive Strategi). This position thinks about how to deal with challenges, but still has strength from an internal perspective.

The forest area of ​​Kamal village is included in secondary forest with convertible production forest land cover. The study was carried out in July – August 2020 using a combination of the strip method and the plotted line method to calculate the overall stand based on the growth rate in an area of ​​10,000 m2 with the condition of vegetation having succession due to forest fires in 1992 causing low biodiversity characterized by the dominance of species – types of secondary forest vegetation. Vegetation analysis results obtained 47 tree species with 29 families occupying all growth stages with the highest dominance controlled by species; marong merah (Commersonia bartramia), damar hitam (Canarium asperum Benth), red wood (Eugenia sp), kayu kikir (Eugenia sp) and pala hutan (Myrestica sp). Species Diversity Index (H') for tree level is 1.44% dominated by damar hitam (Canarium asperum .Benth), pole H' value is 1.16% dominated by Kenanga (Cananga odorata .Hook), Sapihan H' value was 1.13% dominated by damar hitam species (Canarium asperum Benth) while the Seedling rate H' value was 0.93% and dominated by damar hitam species (Canarium asperum .Benth). Based on the value of H' from various levels of growth, the diversity of wood forest products was categorized for the secondary forest research location after the fire in Kamal village was in the medium category with the condition of the species in each type of vegetation that was found to have developed and could survive for increased sustainability

Perubahan jumlah karbon tersimpan pada suatu kawasan hutan dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor diantaranya kerapatan vegetasi, struktur dan komposisi tegakan, diameter pohon, jenis pohon, laju dekomposisi serasah, nekromasa, dan tumbuhan bawah serta eksitensi tanah (struktur dan tekstur) dalam proses penyerapan. Informasi mengenai jumlah karbon tersimpan (carbon stock) pada kurun waktu tertentu pada kawasan hutan menjadi sangat penting untuk diketahui. Dengan mengukur dapat diketahui berapa hasil perolehan cadangan karbon yang terserap dari kesatuan vegetasi yang dimiliki dan dapat diketahui pula jumlah kandungan bahan karbon yang terkandung. Penelitian di laksanakan pada September 2015. Lokasi penelitian yaitu Hutan Negeri Soya Kota Ambon. Pengukuran dan pengambilan sampel serasah dan tanah dilapangan dilakukan dengan mengacu pada metode pengukuran lapangan untuk penaksiran cadangan karbon hutan oleh Badan Standarisasi Nasional, SNI 2774 Tahun 2011. Hasil penelitian menunjukan kandungan biomassa karbon serasah pada strata hutan primer berkisar antara 0,7459 ton/ha –1.36803 ton/ha dengan rata-rata kandungan biomasa karbon serasah berada pada 1,0209 ton/ha. Sedangkan strata hutan sekunder, kandungan biomassa karbon serasah yang diperoleh berkisar antara 0,2253 ton/ha – 0,7188 ton/ha dengan rata-rata berada pada 0,4150 ton/ha. Untuk kadungan karbon tanah, untuk hutan primer berkisar antara 5166,35–5796,65 ton/ha dengan rata-rata adalah 5463,76 ton/ha, sedangkan untuk hutan sekunder berkisar antara 5347,61–6436,31 ton/ha dengan rata-rata 6026,63 ton/ha.
