This study examined stakeholders’ perception related to the Korea–Indonesia international ecotourism official development assistance project in Tunak, Lombok, Indonesia. In-depth interviews were conducted with 18 local community members, government officers, and project executors in 2014 and 2020. Six themes arose from the respondents’ perceptions: nature appreciation, enhancement of sociocultural development, prospect of stakeholder involvement, boosting environmental conditions, present economic contributions for conservation, and project deficiencies. The results showed that the project was carried out in line with the initial plan and emphasized local community involvement. However, the community’s dependence on external help could lead to unsustainable ecotourism practices in the future. Through various project programs, the local village’s economy and infrastructure started to develop. Education and direct local community involvement positively affected the local community conditions, both in sociocultural and economic terms.

“…CFM has been applied, as the pathway and alternative strategy, to stimulate the planning and fulfillment of the 'reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation plus' (REDD+) scheme [39]. CFM is also a method of forest management which permits local residents to work together with the forest manager and to focus on the issue of sustainable NRM [16,40], and is a method which addresses quality of life for local communities under the conceptual framework of SFM [40]. CFM explicitly refers to forest resource use, and regional governance defining local peoples' rights, liabilities, and authority for SFM within local communities [9,40].…”

“…Mihai & Iatu [41] pointed out that rural area development importantly integrates the factors of social, demographic, economic, governance, and environmental dimensions, with land use management also a main perspective for future rural development perspectives under the CFM framework [41]. Local people's participation in CFM needs to be conducted in an atmosphere of mutual trust, emphasizing the residents' perceptions of SFM, and stimulating suitable SFM realities by focusing on locals' involvement in policy-making [40]. In addition, CFM also relates to the collective participation of all potential stakeholders being involved with forest management issues and producing SFM outcomes [10], and emphasizes the requirement for local participation in environmental governance [10,11,40].…”

We established an evaluation framework for sustainable forest management (SFM) development based on locals’ perspectives using the importance-performance analysis (IPA) method in a rural area of Taiwan. It identified the factors that affected local people’s participation in and awareness of SFM based on local demographics, development factors of SFM, and perceptions of SFM, through the logistic regression method (LRM). Both the levels of importance and performance (I-P) of the SFM indicators were rated by the local residents and the differences between importance–performance among indigenous and non-indigenous people were examined. The factors that affected differentiation of local people’s participation in the SFM program were: (1) forestry workers, (2) indigenous people, and (3) SFM development factors. The findings provide both theoretical constructs and policy implications for SFM mechanisms for the forest stewardship council (FSC) and sustainable development goals (SDGs) in a sustainable rural development.

“…The non-involvement or low engagement of forest-dependent communities in forest carbon governance in tropical countries of the world has been linked to some socioeconomic variables like income status, educational qualifications, gender, among others Apipoonyanon et al [66], Atele et al [67]. The results in this study revealed that awareness and participation in REDD+ project activities are influenced by respondent's household income, education, household size, and gender (F = 10.135 p < 0.05).…”

Livelihood Impacts of Forest Carbon Protection in the Context of Redd+ in Cross River State, Southeast Nigeria

et al. 2021

The rate of landcover change linked to deforestation and forest degradation in tropical environments has continued to surge despite a series of forest governance policy instruments over the years. These informed the launch of one of the most important international policies called Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Plus (REDD+) to combat forest destruction. REDD+ assumes that communities will have increased assets to natural capital which will enhance their livelihood portfolio and mitigate the effects of climate variability and change across biomes. The aim of this study is to ascertain the livelihoods impacts of forest carbon protection within the context of REDD+ in Cross River State, Nigeria. Six forest communities were chosen across three agroecological zones of the State. Anchored on the Sustainable Livelihood Framework, a set of questionnaires were administered to randomly picked households. The results indicate that more than half of the respondents aligned with financial payment and more natural resources as the perceived benefits of carbon protection. More so, a multinomial logistic regression showed that income was the main factor that influenced respondent’s support for forest carbon protection. Analysis of income trends from the ‘big seven’ non-timber forest resources in the region showed increase in Gnetum africanum, Bushmeat, Irvingia gabonensis, Garcinia kola, while carpolobia spp., Randia and rattan cane revealed declining income since inception of REDD+. The recorded increase in household income was attributed to a ban in logging. It is recommended that the forest communities should be more heavily involved in the subsequent phases of the project implementation to avoid carbon leakages.
