“…Law enforcement has historically had a strong foundation in conservation and is a primary means for enhancing PAs (Ferraro & Hanauer, 2015;Gray et al, 2018;Johnson et al, 2016). However, law enforcement alone is inadequate to ensure PA integrity and tends to be lax, especially in places where livelihoods rely on access to PA resources (McElwee, 2010;Phromma et al, 2019). Moreover, while PA enforcement may have theoretical backing as a measure to change resource-use behaviours, a cohort of issues complicates its implementation in practice, including inadequate incentives for enforcement officers and competing interests between PA staff and local residents (Robinson et al, 2010).…”

Despite the popularity of integrated conservation and development approaches to protected area management, adjacent communities increasingly face livelihood dilemmas. Yet understanding of how market processes and conservation enforcement interact to influence livelihood responses remains limited. Targeting eight villages in Nam Et-Phou Louey (NEPL) National Park in northern Lao PDR, we draw on survey data with 255 households, 93 semi-structured interviews, and meso-level data on village conditions to examine how residents navigate associated livelihood dilemmas. A cluster analysis reveals five livelihood types with divergent capacities to engage in market development and cope with enforcement pressures. We show how market linkages, historical conservation interventions, and local access conditions shape livelihoods and differences between villages. Our approach yields a nuanced picture of how global conservation efforts result in an uneven distribution of costs and benefits at local scales. Conservation measures must account for highly divergent capacities to cope with access loss and diversify livelihoods.

“…To sustain the increase in family members, the use of banned herbicides would provide an easy, cost-effective solution to increase the cassava yields for local farmers. Nevertheless, the investment in chemical fertilizers consists of 53% of their production costs 32 . Herbicides, such as glyphosate, are used worldwide to control weeds.…”

“…Over the last decade, the growth of the human population has resulted in the remarkable expansion of cassava farmland by the local-scale farmers, beyond the boundary line between the farmland and protected natural forests that set by the Thai government in 2010 (see Fig. 1) 32 . Here, signi cant treespecies loss was also found within the protected natural forest beside the farmland 37 .…”

In a national park in Northeast Thailand, agricultural land has been converted from natural forest by small-scale farmers. To investigate the impact of repeated cassava monoculture on soil, we conducted a five-year (2016–2020) study on the physical and chemical properties of soil in cassava farmland and examined the properties of forest soil as a control. Soil nitrogen, available phosphate and potassium, and bulk density were significantly higher in the farmland than in the forest, whereas organic matter and cation exchange capacity were the opposite. In the farmland, soil nitrogen, electrical conductivity, and bulk density increased significantly, whereas pH and organic matter decreased significantly, indicating that soil degradation progressed during the five years. The use of glyphosate and paraquat herbicides is prohibited within national parks. However, in 2020, glyphosate was detected in farmland soil at levels of up to 5.0 mg kg-1 during both the rainy and dry seasons, and glyphosate (2.5 mg l-1) was detected in stream water from the farmland during the dry season. The use of glyphosate in the farmland was suspected at least in 2020. Soil degradation and herbicide pollution may carry a high risk of causing irreversible changes to the terrestrial ecosystems.

“…Deklarasi kawasan lindung adalah salah satu mekanisme in-situ yang paling efektif untuk konservasi sumber daya alam (Bruggeman et al, 2018;Donia et al, 2017;Miranda et al, 2016) karena menghilangkan kegiatan pemanfaatan langsung, sehingga meminimalkan gangguan manusia. Namun, implementasinya harus menangani permukiman masyarakat, terutama di lokasi dimana masyarakat lokal bergantung pada sumber daya alam untuk mata pencaharian mereka (Phromma, et al, 2019). Persoalan lainnya yang terjadi di wilayah studi adalah adanya perkebunan (kebun campuran) dan persawahan di dalam Kawasan TNRAW.…”

The Rawa Aopa Watumohai National Park area (TNRAW) is an administrative area of East Kolaka Regency and is in direct contact with the TNRAW area, so community activities to use TNRAW as business land cannot be stopped. This study aims to analyze potential TNRAW conflicts and provide direction for problem resolution. This study combined the survey method with a participatory approach with the community and TNRAW managers. The results showed several problems encountered in villages included in the TNRAW area, including encroachment and illegal logging, land sale and purchase, land certification, settlements within the area, plantations within the area, rice fields in the area, construction of facilities and infrastructure by the government, recognition of village administration in the area, allocation of village funds and waterlogging and overfishing. Community stakeholder actors have a negative influence or role in the TNRAW area. The role of the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Public Works Office, Universities, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) as stakeholder actors is positive for both the community and TNRAW. Recommendations for problem resolution directives include: 1) increasing community participation through continuous empowerment and assistance so that adverse roles of TNRAW can be minimized, 2) increasing the role of stakeholders to coordinate with TNRAW, especially concerning land legality and community agricultural activities within the TNRAW Area, 3) solving various problems in TNRAW through mutually beneficial mechanisms between the community and TNRAW, The solutions offered must, of course, be following applicable laws and regulations.
