“…Formal SF in Indonesia has undergone three distinct generations (Sahide et al, 2020), similar to the categorization of the formal period of SF identified by Fisher et al (2019). The first generation of Indonesian SF during the authoritarian New Order rule explains the limited micro-scale and project-level SF engagements during this period.…”

“…The formal social forestry schemes are part of the result of ongoing international and national advocacy on land access and community-based resource management. The state land distribution programs developed and persisted so far can be seen as part of the result of the national and international agrarian reform, Indigenous, and environmental social movement (Fisher et al, 2019;Lee Peluso et al, 2008;Moeliono et al, 2017;Sahide et al, 2020). Therefore, the local commons can also be understood as part of the national and global systems (Chikozho & Mapedza, 2017;Saunders, 2014).…”

“…Their remarkable achievement as groups relative to other HKm groups in the area, mainly for their success in producing sizable harvest and collective management of the plots and cows, spotlighted them in the social forestry circle. Amidst pessimistic reports on implementing social forestry (Moeliono et al, 2017;Sahide et al, 2020), they become success stories. Visiting high forestry officials, forestry agencies, and social forestry groups from other provinces regularly come to Mattirotasi to learn about their recipes and achievements.…”

Commoning the State Forest: Crafting Commons through an Indonesian Social Forestry Program

Studies of the commons grew out of responses to Hardin's bleak prediction of “tragedy of the commons,” that without state intervention or privatization, any commons will eventually be destroyed by allegedly self-interested users. As such, the commons studies traditionally tend to demonstrate cases where common pool resources (CPR) can be sustainably managed by groups of people beyond the state and market interventions. This paper shows a case from Sulawesi, Indonesia, where a state social forestry program can create a space for the program beneficiaries to build a commons. Through fieldwork that involves participant observation and in-depth interviews with program extension workers and beneficiaries in two social forestry farmer groups, this study found that the program can stimulate beneficiary groups to build collective action in managing the state forest plots admitted to them and that the two groups are the only successful ones among 14 neighboring groups that are involved in the same program. The study also shows that the management of the state-sponsored commons requires extension workers with deep knowledge about local people and landscape, economic incentives, and the flexibility of the local state agency in bending the rules based on bottom-up demands. Therefore, the case study shows that, on the one hand, the state program can actually stimulate the creation of the commons. On the other hand, commoning seems to be the only way to ensure a successful social forestry program.

“…Each has different implications for how climate change can be addressed. With regard to 'context', governance is considered part of the setting in which the climate responsive management of the agriculture-forest interactions takes place (e.g., Sahide et al 2020). Thus, governance is seen largely as a structural phenomenon, consisting of rules, regulations, regimes, and the institutional arrangements that enable and constrain management (Jodoin 2020, Singh et al 2020.…”

Agroforestry has the potential to fundamentally transform socio-ecological systems to address the root causes of climate vulnerability. Although there is increasing interest in agroforestry as a transformative adaptation strategy, its implementation is often discouraged by the need to involve multiple stakeholders, sectors, and governance levels with potentially different interests. We draw on a systematic review of sixty-four peer-reviewed papers on climate change governance in agroforestry systems to (1) outline the current state of the literature, (2) characterise how governance is conceptualised, (3) investigate governance challenges, and (4) provide insights into effective governance. The review finds that most relevant papers have been published in the past three years, and most of these papers are found in interdisciplinary journals. The main governance challenges include coordinating polycentricity, overcoming power imbalances, and sharing, translating, and integrating different types of knowledge. However, few empirical studies of agroforestry governance have been completed. A richer conceptual framework of governance is required to improve our ability to navigate the role of sustainable land management practices such as agroforestry in successful climate change adaptation and mitigation.

“…The science of sustainable forestry has been developing since the mid-1960s in parallel with the anthropocentrism establishing and the sustainable development emergence (Brown, P., Pröbstl-Haider, U., & Koch, N. E., 2016). Sahide, M. A. K., et al (2020) emphasized that governments worldwide promote social forests as part of their stated commitment to sustainable development and social justice.…”

Ukraine's forestry has been experiencing systemic political, economic, social, and environmental problems for many years. This article aims to find new ways to balance production, taxation, and forestry investment to ensure sustainable development. We sought answers to three main questions: Does the modern mechanism of state regulation and forestry financing in Ukraine meet sustainability requirements? What changes will the critical problems of forest ecosystems arise in Ukraine in the long run? What are the prospects for the development of investment in forestry in Ukraine? To answer these questions, we conducted exploratory analyses of taxation and investment in forestry management. Then, we developed a multifactorial forecasting model to predict forest ecosystems' restoration state by 2035. Using the model, we characterized the relationship between ecological and economic factors for reforestation in the border regions of Ukraine. Finally, we analyzed the coefficients of forest capacity, yield and dynamics of afforestation. According to the results, we proposed: 1) to separate the functions of standard-setting and forest inventory from the function of forest land management; 2) to separate the function of economic activity and control over the implementation of forestry development plans; 3) to stimulate public control and increase effective monitoring of anthropogenic load, forest use and rehabilitation; 4) to improve the organizational and institutional management mechanism as a component of forest production which is the key to improving the forestry sustainability.
