“…A fourth causal loop is also a balancing one between conflict (reduced), welfare (increased), health (increase), participation (increase), and back to conflicts (reduced) again. Understanding the socio-culture impacts of biodiversity tourism activities is significant to get the positive perception and support from the local community to develop ecotourism in the villages [29].…”

Rural resilience has become an interestingly debated topic in recent years, with scholars offering opposing viewpoints. Studies have suggested that rural resilience is arguably better than that of urban. Especially in the context where the rural is supported economically by the existence of some businesses such as oil palm plantations. However, certain negative images are still linked to oil palm plantations, in particular with respect to biodiversity loss, despite many of the plantations having areas of high conservation value (HCV). HCVs are known to possess and attract wild species such as elephants, orangutans, and other primates, meaning that ecologically, HCV represents a significant added value of the oil palm plantations. This conceptual paper aims to contribute to this debate by envisioning feasible futures of biodiversity tourism for oil palm village revitalization by utilizing the biodiversity richness of HCVs. This study includes a conceptual model of biodiversity tourism for oil palm village revitalization that was developed using a causal loop diagram approach. The causal loop diagram depicts an overall understanding and describes the village system’s complexity. Positive and negative loops that form the reinforcement and balance circles represent the connection between the input and output variables. A systematic literature review and interviews with pilot village stakeholders were used to collect data. The potential of such a vision is discussed before finally concluding with an insight into the future of biodiversity tourism for oil palm village revitalization. This paper recognizes that biodiversity tourism for oil palm village revitalization can be done sustainably by presenting it as a complex system with its subsystems. It shows that oil palm villages and biodiversity are interdependent and interconnected. Moreover, biodiversity tourism can be recognized as a vehicle to promote the positive impacts of oil palm plantations in enhancing knowledge and awareness of biodiversity conservation beyond existing economic value.

“…Ekowisata hadir sebagai alternatif usaha konservasi yang betujuan untuk mengalihkan dan mengendalikan tindakan yang merugikan dari masyarakat desa hutan.

“…2017). Keanekaragaman spesies dan estetika habitat di kawasan hutan merupakan daya tarik tersendiri yang dapat berkontribusi dalam pengembangan ekowisata yang dapat menarik wisatawan untuk melihat dan menikmatinya (Siahaya et al, 2021). Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi, pada kawasan Hutan Lindung Aik Bone teridentifikasi adanya spesies yang kepadatannya cukup tinggi dibandingkan spesies lainnya yaitu Coffea canephora P., dengan masuknya Coffea canephora P. atau tanaman kopi, maka kawasan HLAB rawan akan terjadinya kerusakan lingkungan yang bisa menyebabkan kawasan ini tidak alami lagi.…”

Berdasarkan struktur, komposisi, dan keanekaragaman vegetasi yang ditemukan, Hutan Lindung Aik Bone belum memenuhi syarat suatu kawasan dapat dijadikan area pengembangan ekowisata, namun memiliki potensi sebagai area ekowisata berdasarkan kriteria mutu keanekaragaman spesies yang dapat dijadikan sebagai area pengembangan ekowisata menurut Siahaya et al, (2021) (Tabel 1). Hutan Lindung Aik Bone menempati skala 4 yang kualitasnya tergolong bagus untuk dikembangkan menjadi kawasan ekowisata, dengan jumlah spesies yang ditemukan yaitu 23 spesies.…”

This research was intended to determine whether Aik Bone Protected Forest has potential to be developed as an ecotourism area based on the structure, composition and diversity of vegetation. Because the Aik Bone protected forest area had previously been developed into a tourist destination by surrounding community. But, it has been not success and cannot last long,, because the planning cinditions is bad and the lack of maintenance of the existing facilities. The Aik Bone protected forest is located in the Aik Bukak Village, North Batukliang District, Central Lombok Regency. The type of research was a descriptive quantitative research. The purpose research were to analyze about the density, frequency, dominance and diversity index of vegetation species. The vegetation species found in Aik Bone protection forest were classified into 15 families and with a total of 156 in dividuals/Hectare. Plants species that had the highest important value index at the seedling and sapling category were Caffea canephora. While for pole category is Tabernaemontana sphaerocarpa Blums and thee category Swietenia macophyla King. Species diversity index for seedling, sapling and tree categories was moderate, while pole category was low.

“…Ecosystems provide various products and services essential to human welfare (Spalding et al 2010;de Groot et al 2012;Puligheet al 2016;Wolsink 2016;Lacy and Shackleton 2017;Palliwodaet al 2017;Sulistyorini et al 2018;Muhlisin et al 2021;Siahaya et al 2021). However, the environmental goods and services benefits that have been realized are often undervalued in decision-making because organizations and individuals often more consider market prices than the true economic values (Campus and Schuhmann 2012).…”

Abstract. Ahmed HA, Mwaura F, Thenya T, Kairo JG. 2022. Coastal and mangrove economic valuation associated fisheries and problems in Kwale County, Kenya. Indo Pac J Ocean Life 6: 17-27. The coastal fisheries in Kenya are essential to the livelihoods of the coastal communities. They provide employment, income, and food and support other auxiliary industries. Despite the socio-economic importance of coastal fisheries, various anthropogenic and climate change impact threatened their existence. Fish habitats, including mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrasses, are threatened by human activities such as aquaculture, mangrove extraction, unplanned expansion of coastal cities, and marine pollution. Usually, coastal fisheries are also neglected in key policy-making agendas. That is attributed to inadequate information and a lack of data on the socio-economic contribution of coastal communities engaged in fisheries. This study aimed to estimate the economic value to provide crucial information for policy making of mangrove ecosystem-based coastal fisheries in Kwale County. The study also attempted to establish the coastal fishery production trend for the past decade, to estimate the economic value of mangrove ecosystems to fishery production, and the future of coastal fisheries projecting based on Climate Compatible Development (CCD) and Business As Usual (BAU) scenarios. Combining the primary data from interviews with 242 respondents with secondary data, including a decade of fish catch data, were analyzed, which exhibited a continuous increase from 1,908 tonnes in 2004 to 2,450 tonnes in 2013 coastal fisheries production. The coastal fisheries value was estimated to be Ksh.182 million (US$ 2.2) annually after deducting all fishing-related costs in 2013. This study also estimated that mangrove ecosystems could support the production of 160kg/ha/year, comprable to Ksh.11,610/ha/year (US$ 198/ha/year). Moreover, the estimated values could be much higher than the calculated ones because a considerable amount of fish caught is unrecorded. The future projections reveal that the scenario of Business As Usual (BAU) is not sustainable. Hence, the study demands a shift to the scenario of Climate Compatible Development (CCD), which incorporates mitigation measures, climate change adaptation, and investment in infrastructure. The study recommends reviewing the existing fishery policies regarding the unique characteristics of coastal fisheries to ensure sustainable exploitation and address the challenges. The research also recommends further economic studies on the coastal fisheries value chain.
