Indonesian delegates at a forest management meeting that began Tuesday are promoting Tenganan and Sibetan villages in Bali as prime examples of community-based forest management.
In the four-day meeting attended by delegates from 10 countries grouped under the Forest Governance Learning Group (FGLG), residents of the two villages in Karangasem regency related their success in conserving their forests by adhering to traditional environmental stewardship.
“For many years now, from one generation to the next, the people of Tenganan and Sibetan have always complied with traditional laws in preserving the forests and the entire environment,” Karangasem Regent Wayan Gredeg said in his presentation.
“The local wisdom of the indigenous people and collaboration between desa adat [traditional villages], NGOs and the local administration is the key to sustainable forest management in the area.”
He cited a traditional law prohibiting villagers from picking ripe fruits before they fall off the tree, as well as taking wood from forests without the consent of village elders.
“Only married couples who need wood to build their homes are allowed to get it from the forest, but they need approval from the village council,” Gredeg said.
