1. Introduction

a. Research Background: Climate Change and the impact in Indonesia

Nowadays, people often talk about climate change. The phenomena where the temperature of the

earth is increasing caused by the increasing greenhouse gasses, have been creating a lot of

damage and severe on earth. Some mechanisms have been developed as a way to adapting to

climate change such as REDD, CDM, and others. The world now really focuses on climate change.

Climate change could a major impact and particularly on the poorest people in Indonesia. Many

climate-related hazards, including floods, droughts, storms, landslides and wild land fires occurred

more often than before and will continue to be more frequent or more severe.1

1. Between 1844 and 1960, droughts happened on average every four years, but between 1961 and 2006, they occurred in every 3 years.

2. Floods are also appearing more frequently. In the period 2001-2004, about 530 floods were reported; occurring in almost all provinces (Figure 3). The scale of damage is also increasing.

The El Nio event of 1997-1998 was the most severe for 50 years; indeed, 1998 was the

hottest year in the twentieth century.

3. These more frequent El Nios are occurring at a time of global warming. Data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration indicate that ten of the strongest El-Nio

events occurred after the 1970s as global warming started to accelerate. Whether changes

we are now experiencing are coming from El Nio or from the greenhouse effect or a

combination of the two, it seems clear that Indonesia is already experiencing climate change

and that the consequences could be felt for many generations to come.

Among the consequences we can expect are changes in seasons and rainfall, more extreme

weather events, rises in sea levels, warmer oceans, and higher air temperatures.

b. Expected result of the research

Even though the world has been focusing much to develop some mechanism such as (Reducing

Emission from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) and Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

as part of mitigation, the adaptation to climate change itself has to be highlighted and

developed, especially those based on local community. It is important since the local community is

the most vulnerable among other, and because they have their own knowledge that made them

adaptable to climate change.

The research will study and disseminate traditional knowledge and best practices related to

climate change adaptation in forest, coastal and small islands, and agro ecosystems. The goal is to

improve community preparedness and resilience to cope with the unpredictable impact of climate

change.

Biodiversity has the ability to reduce risks and vulnerabilities, as well as protect lives, livelihoods,

wealth, and well-being from climactic disasters. The research will identify the best practices of

local people in biodiversity use, conservation, and biodiversity restoration and management. In

addition, it will also examine how scientific innovation can improve the ability of biodiversity

services to adapt to climate change.

c. Research Method

The method used for the research is an empirical study based on qualitative research;

surveys/field study, interview, and literatures study.

2. Best Practices of Biodiversity Conservation on Adapting to Climate Change

a. Agro ecosystem

Agroecosystem produces many crops which become main food resources. Due to climate change,

where drought and flood often occure unpredictably causing decreasing of agricultural land, those

crops productions are inevitably affected. Therefore, crops that able to grow in such extreme

conditions and several types of land, and also biodiversity that are still able to support crops

production such as fertilizer or pesricide, will be the solution.

1. Biodiversity of Rice Paddy Rice is the main food resources for people in Indonesia. Almost of all the people in Indonesia eat

rice twice or trice a day as they really depend on rice resource. Although they have eaten bread

or noodle, without rice it will be just a snack and they will still look for rice to eat.

Paddy for inundated land

There are places in Pangandaran, West Java, where during wet

season, some parts of agriculture land are covered by water either

caused by rainfall or water from mountain which at locally called

Megu. In adapting to this phenomenon, the local people use variety

of paddy which able to grow under a deep water.

This variety has a long high stick thus the paddy will not get drowned.

This could be an answer for the impacted agriculture land

of climate changes which causing flood in a long period.

Paddy for dry land

In Sumba, an island with a dry land ecosystem, there are some local paddy varieties

that able to grow in such condition i.e Beras Kalalo and Beras Bulu. Besides for

primary food source, the rice can also used for cake (Kue Cucur).

Tidal rice Approximately, there are 1 million hectares of tidal rice, mainly in Kalimantan, but the

potential is close to 10 million hectares, where around 60% of this area is influenced

by tides. Inundation is caused when the incoming tide forms a barrier to rivers flowing into the sea,

which then flood areas with fresh, but somewhat brackish water.

Paraquat - a herbicide - is a key component of the developing tidal rice growing system because

it is the only herbicide that can provide fast weed control, even when the land is flooded twice a

day.

2. Biodiversity for organic fertilizer and pesticide

Nowadays farmers find the best way to increase the yield by using organic fertilizer rather than

chemical fertilizer. Based on the observation in some areas such as Pangandaran and

Semau Island - as dry land - are; fertilizer from organic material is more benefiting

the farmer. It is a low cost fertilizer and deliver higher result than chemical fertilizer.

As mitigation to climate change, such biodiversity resources become very important since

few reports describe how chemical-intensive farming has led to increased levels of

greenhouse gas emissions, primarily as a result of the overuse of fertilizers and soil

degradation. The report has shown that farm chemicals work against nature and create

more problems than solutions.2

Believing natural pesticide and fertilizer, people in Kulon Progo and Semau Island use

these plants for pesticide and fertilizer:

- Jengkol (Pithecellobium jiringa) - Asian palmyra palm / lontar (Borasus flaberlifer) - Widuri (Calotropis gigantean R.Br), usually found in abandoned

farmland.

- Damar merah (S. parvifolia Dyer) - Begonia (Begoniaceae), as liquid fertilizer - Air nira (sweet palm sap or juice) - Lengkuas (Alpinia galanga)

- Kunyit (Curcuma domestica) - Daun sirih (Piper Betle Linn) - Pepper (Piper nigrum Linn) - Garlic (Allium sativum)

Most of these plants are easily found in a dry land ecosystem and are proven have ability in

stimulating crops yield. These plants could be utilized as part of adaptation to climate change

efforts since people have been using them for stimulating crops production in a very dry land, a

situation that may occure as impact of climate change.

3. Nitrogen fixator

Freshly-dug peanuts (Arachis hypogea

Farmers in Semau Island a dry land ecosystem - plant freshly-dug peanuts (Arachus hypogaea)

as one of their best crops. Although they do not tend to fertilize the soil by

planting peanuts, in fact it reduces fertilizer costs for farmers since it fixes

atmospheric nitrogen which makes this species well known as the good crop

for restoration of degraded land.

)

Besides for fixaxing nitrogen, it produces high protein. The peanuts give

valuable income for local people of the island where it is famous for it. The

farmers also use particular part of it as serasah / mulsa (covering the land

surface) for reducing land transpiration and keep the water longer since the land is very dry,

while the unused part of peanut can be used as energy resource. This species might be usefull to

fertilize a dry soil impacted by climate change and also reducing the transpiration.

Alfalfa (medicago sativa) from family leguminoceae, is a cool season

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)

perennial legume living from

3 to 12 years, depending on variety and climate. It has a high resilient to drought.

Like other legumes its root nodules contain bacteria, Sinorhizobium meliloti, with the ability to fix

nitrogen, producing a high-protein feed regardless of available nitrogen in the soil. Its nitrogen-

fixing abilities (which increase soil nitrogen) and its use as an animal feed greatly improved

agricultural efficiency.

Alfalfa has the highest feeding value of all common hay crops, being used less frequently as

pasture. When grown on soils where it is well-adapted, alfalfa is the highest yielding forage

plant. It used in agriculture, has a wide range of adaptation and can be grown from very cold

northern plains to high mountain valleys; from rich

temperate agricultural regions to Mediterranean climates and searing hot deserts.[3] Perennial

plants often have deep, extensive root systems which can hold soil to prevent erosion, capture

dissolved nitrogen before it contaminate ground and surface water, outcompete weeds (reducing

the need for pesticides), and help to mitigate global warming by carbon sequestration.

As part of adaptation effort to climate change, people can use alfalfa for nutrition enrichment of

soil before planting other crops when drought occures.

4. Pioneer plants for Rehabilitation of Marginal Land In adapting to climate change in unplanted land where soil is dry and degraded, people can

plant pioneer plants to stimulate the soil production.

One of the importances of pioneer plant - which tolerant with the toxic of A1- is the ability to

absorp A1 in the soil and save it inside its body, thus the toxicious A2 in the soil can be reduced

and give an opportunity for other plants to grow with less resistance to the toxic of A1.

Sub species of pioneering plants are:

- Creeping daisy / Tusuk Konde (Wedelia trilobata)

- Blue Tongue / seduduk (Melastoma malabathriu)

- Cagoon Grass / alang-alang (Imperata cylindrica)

- Wildsugarcane / seriti (Saccharum spontaneum)

- Mexican sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia)

- Starchytapheta indica (pecut kuda)

- Austroepotarium odoratum (putihan, patong, or lonte sore)

These species could be usefull in adapting to climate change in utilizing underutilized land

to produce crops.

adaptive to the dry condition becomes important. Pioneer species could be the answer for poor

quality soils with few nutrients and lack of water. They are typically very hearty plants with

adaptations such as long roots, root nodes containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and leaves that

employ transpiration. This can be useful for rehabililtate a dry and degraded land as impact of

climate change.

The pioneer plants such as alang-alang (Imperata cylindrica), wildsugarcane well known as seriti

at locally, seduduk, and tusuk konde (Wedelia tribaata) have a different adaptibility to drought.

Cogon grass (Imperata) and seriti (Saccharum spontaneum) have the highest adaptibility and

toleranty to the dry condition with their shorter roots compare with the other three varieties.

Instead of increasing the soil fertility, they make the soil more barren. But wildsugarcane is good

for conservation because of its strong root able to prevent erosion or water movement on soil

surface.

Creeping daisy (Wedelia trilobata), the water saver pioneer plant

Creeping daisy well known as Tusuk konde at locally - is the water saver plant, while alang-

alang (imperata) and wildsugarcane is the water greedy plant. It is a creeping evergreen

perennial that roots at the leaf nodes. It grows well under trees and in full sun to part shade.

Blue Tongue (Melastoma malabathrium) for acid soil

It is well known as Seduduk at locally. For acid soil with A1, it has the

best tolerant. The benefit is shown from the roots. The deeper the root

and its branches, the better is its survival ability mechanism on the

pressured environment.

Bushes and Imperata for land rehabilitation

During 2003 2007 periods, more than 40 species were planted on

different land cover in Siali-ali South Tapanuli.4

5. Crops Production in a Dry Land Ecosystem

Since global warming gives serious impact to the fertility of land such as

dryness, some food resources are needed with its ability to grow in a dry

land.

These species below have ability to grow in a dry land ecosystem which

some of them have been used as food resources even when famine hit up in

the year of 1960.

Maize / corn (Zae mays)

It is a member of grass family Poaceae. People in Gorontalo plant corn as an

alternative food resource. Corn is chosen as an entry point in agropolitan since its been

few years ago people in Gorontalo plant it with increasing demand from time to time.

Corn is one of best alternative food resources for a dry land ecosystem.

People in Pulau Semau plant corn as one of their food resources. In fact, it was the main

food resources of people on the island before rice was introduced as part of green

revolution. Nowadays people still plant the corn in wet season, harvest and keep it on

the ceiling, and eat it during dry season. Besides as food sources, crops can also be

processed as fuel.

Meanwhile in Lampung a very southern part of Sumatra - one of variety of corns,

jagung pipilan, a local name, is the reliable crop for people in the region, considering

few supporting factors in planting it. People in Kecamatan Metro Kibang - the area

lying along the river basin of Way Sekampung5

- approximately plant the corn (jagung

pipilan) in the dry season due to the suitable soil condition.

chinese kol

When famine disaster occurred in this area in the year of 1960, the people went to the forest and

ate sweet potatoes growing in a forest which they know as gadung.

The reason why only few people cultivate this plant is because of the belief that the disaster will

happen again if the people start to plant it. Moreover, the introduction of rice as wealth indicator

of people started in 1960 change part of some culture where people then prefer to eat rice

instead of their own local food resources where sweet potatoes is part of it. There is also another

species of sweet potatoes, called ubi Mae. Like sweet potatoes growing in the forest, there is only

small number of people cultivating this plant.

Gebang palm (Corypha utan)

As part of ecosystem in Semau Island, Gebang palm which at locally called

Gewang - grows wildly in the island since it grows in the lowland of a very dried

climate and savannah. Gebang palm is an alternative food resource for people in

the island by extracting its starch.

Chilli (Capsicum annum)

As their agriculture product, people in Semau with dry land

ecosystem also cultivate chilli and red union. Even though chilli is not a

local Semau Island species, but it is able to growth in that dry

condition, it even becomes more famous that those grow in its place

of origin.

Papaya (Carica papya L.) and banana (Musa acuminate)

Papaya and banana are fruits that still able to grow in Semau Island, a dry land ecosystem.

Unfortunately people in the island do not take advantage of these fruits.

Kol / Chinese kol (Brasica oliracea) and kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica Forsk)

In Kulon Progo - a very dry land in coastal area - the soil contain iron which makes

the sand even warmer, but people still can plant certain crops such as Chinese Kol

and kangkong for vegetables.

Red Onion (Allium cepa L)

In Semau, a dryland ecosystem, red onion is still able to grow. People use it as

seasoning and herbal medicine.

b. Marine, Coastal and Small Islands ecosystem

Marine, coastal, and small islands are places which are very vulnerable to the impact of climate

change since they are directly depend on the ocean changes caused by melted ice in Artic and

Antartica.

In certain areas, people has been doing some effort to stay survive in these places. Some efforts

can be indicated as best practices in adapting to climate change..

1. Mangrove for coastal protection6

Mangrove ecosystem is a transition between land and aquatic

ecosystem, found in a tropical or sub tropical area along the

protected coast and river delta as a coastal plants community

dominated by few mangrove trees.

These types of plants are able to grow in a tidal area according to

its tolerancy to salinity, duration of inundation, substrate, and

coastal morphology.

Mangrove ecosystem is found along the river outfall or the area

influenced by fluviomarine factor (river flow) and area dominated

by marinofluvial factor (sea factor).

The vegetation of mangrove ecosystem are few plants like api-api (Acivennia spp.) akar cakar

ayam/pensil, bakau (Rhizopora spp) akar tongkat, cengal (Ceriops spp) akar papan, tancang

(Bruguira spp) akar lutut, and pedada (Sonneratia spp).

Function and benefits of mangrove:

1. Coastl protection and buffering zone for the ecosystem 2. Biodiversity conservation 3. Fisheries: catched and cultured fisheries

Mangroves have tremendous social and ecologidal calue. Mangrove ecosystem provides income

from the collection of mollusks, crustaceans, and fishes.

Mangrove, coral reef, and sea grass are three important ecosystems in coastal area. The three of

them are interacted with one another and create an ecosystem. The interaction can be physical,

biological, or chemical. Physically, the three ecosystems are interacted in tide energy saving to the

coast. Structure of mangrove community and the seagrass will reproduce if there is coral reef as a

dike as tide barrier in the front.

Interaction of mangrove ecosystem to other coastal ecosystems

Meanwhile the ability of mangrove and seagrass as sediment trap and to maintain sediment

stability give benefit to coral reef, since the sediment on coral surface will interupt photosyntesa

process.

Mangrove rehabilitation should involve local community. Based on the data, there are about

20.000 ha destructed mangrove forests in Nothern part of Java has successfully rehabilitated

using Rhizopora spp and Avicennia spp with presentage of success about 60%-70%

(Soemodihardjo and Soerianegara, 1989 in Bengen, 1999).

In Tanjung Bungin - South Sumatera - mangrove zonation from the sea to the coast in a row are

Avicennia alba, Rhizopora apiculata, Bruguiera parviflora, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Nypa fructicans,

Xylocarpus granatum, Excoecaria agallocha, Pandanus ferentus, Bruguiea cylindrical. While in

Brebes - Central Java- Rhyzhopora sp are used for mangrove rehabilitation.

In Derawan, people use Avecenia sp since it suits ecologically with the sandy coast and direct to

the water. The mangrove in this area is planted for conservation and improves its coverage as

part of awareness program.

In Aceh, KEHATI worked on mangrove as a coastal restoration program using Soneratia sp,

Bruguiera sp dan Rhizopora sp. with a rapid adaptability and ability to grow in different saline

conditions.


2. Best Practices

15

Planting mangrove is indicated as best practices of local people in coastal area in

protecting their land and income through conservation of coastal ecosystem

including seagrass and coral reef as part of their income. While the seawater

surface increases and gets warmer as impact of climate change, mangrove

conservation gives survival possibility to people, especially fisherman and farmer to

continue planting coastal crops and fishing.

2. Coastal Plants and Multi Purpose Tree Species as barrier and for coastal

rehabilitation

Coastal plants are also important in preventing coastal erosion. They are also the

barrier or the life fences to protect coastal agriculture from wind coming from the

sea.

Some coastal plants are Nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum), Cemara Laut

(Causarina equisetifolia), Ketapang (Terminalia cattapa), Waru Laut (Hibiscus

tillaceus), Putat Laut (Barringtonia asiatica), Bintaro (Cerbera manghas).

The people in Kulon Progro, the place in Southern Coast of Jogjakarta, plant

gumuk as the barrier for the ocean wind that comes to the land. Gumuk consists of

cemara udang (Casuarina equesetifolia), Coconut tree (Cocos nucifera), bidadara (a local name), pandan (Pandanus) , and widura (a local name). It helps to absorp

the water when the sea water intrudes to the coast as the sea water rises as impact

of climate change and reduce coastal erosion. The coastal area with Gumuk will dry

faster than those without Gumuk.

Multi Purpose Tree Species (MPTS) and other plants for coastal rehabilitation are

- Gamal (Glirichida sepium), the leaves is used for compost and cattle fodder. The

wood is used for firewood.

- Kemiri (Aleurites mouluccana), the leaves is used for cosmetic, shampoo, and

seasoning.

- Asam jawa (Tamarindus indica), its fruit is used for bubble gum and seasoning,

while the wood is used for building construction, furniture, and perkakas.

- Kelapa (Cocos nucifera), its fruit is used for nata de coco and kopra, its leaf is used for

handycraft and jewelry, and its wood is used for building construction and handycraft

- Pandan (Pandanus tectorius), its leaf is used for handicraft, and its flower is used for aromatical

essense

- Jarak pagar (Jatropha curcas), its fruit can be used as biofuel

- Juwet (Zyzygium cumini), its fruit is used for food, and its wood is used for building construction

- Kuda-kuda (Lannea spp.),

- Mindi (Melia azadiractha), its leaf and skin wood is used as the cure for malaria, and its wood is

used for building construction

- Mahoni (Swietenia mahagoni). Its seed is used as the cure for malaria, and its wood is used for

construction, furniture.

Most of the people in the coastal area of Aceh, Simeulue, and Nias have been cultivating those

plants.

c. Forest

Forest plays important role in climate change. Although basically it is not really

influenced by climate change, but best practices on how people can survive

from a forest and what kind of resources are provided by forest that may be

important in adaptation effort to climate change is worth to share.

1. Sago (Metroxylon sago)

Metroxylon species can grow on a wide variety of soils.7

The palm will grow in soil that is periodically inundated by salt water as long

as fresh water flow is more prevalent. All of the species seem to tolerate

salinity for short period without apparent damage, with some populations

growing in regular salt spray, periodic tidal flux and the edges of brackish mangrove swamps.

Salinity should not exceed 10s/m (equivalent to 1/8 the salt concentration of sea water). (Flach

1997)

They can persist on

well drained, poor quality materials including sand, clay, or a lava.

As long as sufficient water is present, there does not seem to be an upper temperature limit for

growth of sago. The plant does not tolerate drought unless there is ample groundwater.

In Salawati Island, West Irian, an average wild sago palm trunk weighing 1000 kg (2200 lb)

yields 150 kg (330 lb) of dry starch (Flach, 1997). Sarawah smallholders produce about 5,000 mt

(55,000 t) of air-dried sago flour per year for export (Singapore Zoological Gardens Docents

2000). Often palms harvested for thatch have impended growth and the appearance of stress. As

an indication of this stress, Haska (1995) notes that for M.Sagu in West Java, average starch

production is only 55 kg/trunk from palms grown for leaves while it is 175 kg/trunk for the same

variety grown for starch only.

Since it is possible to grow in the soil that is periodically inundated by salt water, the people may

cultivate sago for food resources if they able to serve water for sago to grow.

Interview with Nicolas Maniagasi Farmer, Chief of Yayasan Sagu Swaka Alam Conservationist of Sago and Pandan in Papua Sago and Pandan are main food resources for people in Serui, Yapen Waropen and other part of Papua. They are used as ingredients for many kind of foods. Sago ecosystem creates mix heterorgen forest as a huge ecosystem is a heritage for mankind. Sago will create a forest rich with its biodiversity; produces carbohydrate, hosting sago worm, bats, pigs, fishes, and for water catchment. Nowadays people think Sago is not important and prefer to eat rice. Sago is a food alternative due to climate change. An expert said that if there is food shortage in 21 century, Sago can be a solution of the situation. Indonesia is rich of food sources, and the diversity for supporting food secutiry should be promoted, thus the food shortage in Papua might had been prevented. The decreasing number of Sago eater As an impact of promoting rice in few years ago as part of green revolution, now people prefer to eat rice than sago, where the existences of Sago is kept diminishing. Campaigning Sago Campaining Sago is important because urban people start to forget the importance of Sago. If we look at the road to airport in Jakarta, there are only few palm trees remain compare to few years before. If we can develop and use Sago sustainably, there are many benefits derived from it, such as for fuel.

There are some types of tree used for land rehabilitation in Hutan Adat Desa Mandalamekar - a

community based forest in Tasikmalaya such as Picung (Pangium edule Reinw. ex Blume),

Beringin (Ficus benjamina), and Bamboo; Bambu tali, bamboo temen (edible bamboo). The

replantation of these trees revitalizes land production.

For adaptation effort to climate change, these types of tree can be used to revitalize the function

of forest ecosystem in influencing surrounding climate.

Trees for Watershed Management8

Certain trees that are integrated into agricultural system can increase the efficiency of water use,

while plantations of fast growing trees can exacerbate water shortages.

Water consumption of a tree can be minimized to decrease demand in dry season and minimize

below-ground competition with other crops and the diversion of water from other uses by:

- preferentially planting decidous tree species (indigenous, as well as well matched exotic that produce particularly high quality product)

In integrated tree-crop systems, the main competition effects between trees and crops are below-

ground for water and nutrients, rather than above-ground for sunlight. Although trees compete for

water, they are also able to increase water productivity.

Trees that can mitigate dry season water shortages:

- Cordia aAfricana Indigenous to East Africa. Bimodal shedding. Produces high value timber for

furniture construction. Time to harvest for timber: 10 years. Flowering good for honey production.

- Paulownia fortunei Indigeous to tropical China. Unimodal shedding. Produces high-value timber

often used in veneers. Time to harvest for timber: 10 years.

- Melia volkensii Indigenous to East Africa. Bimodal shedding. Termitte resistant. Time to harvest

for timber: 10 years.

- Croton macrostachys Indigenous to East Africa. Bimoda shedding. Good for honey production.

During periods of leaf shedding, the tree uses less water, a physiological adaptation in tune with

the long-term rainfall patterns where these species originate.

Teak (Tectona grandis, sp) Teak or at locally known as Jati - grows in decidous forest, which loses their leaves in dry season. The appropriate climate is the dry climate, but only in short time, with the rainfall between 1200-3000 mm in a year with high daylight intensity along the year. The optimum height is between 0 700 m dpl; although teakwood can grow until 1300 m dpl, and is mostly seen as homogen forest. This happens in a region with a very dry muson climate, where land burned easily happens and most of the tress will die. Not for Teak. Teak is part of pioneer species that resistant to fire because it has thick skin. Moreover, its fruit has thick skin and hard shell. To some limits, if it gets burned, the seeds will not break. The breaking of its shell even makes its sprout easier to come out in rain season. Fall of big leaves and its branch which cover the soil obsolete slowly, thus make it difficult for other plants to grow. The fall of leaves can also generate fire, which can be endured by Jati but not by other type of plants. That is how a small forest fire can cause homogeneity of a forest.

In Indonesia Teak is developed in Java (Rembang, Blora, Grobogan, Pati, Cepu), Muna Island, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi, Sumbawa Island, and Lampung. Non economic function of Jati Forest in Java Considering its use of wide land to grow, it has important non economical function, such as: Ecosystem buffer.The trees in teak forest will absorp and decomposite_menguraikan pollutants and over exposure sunlight. The forest will create photosynthesis process which absorp carbon diokside from air and release back the oxygen and uap air to the air. All the process maintains stability of climate inside and around the forest. Jati forest will also maintain fertility of the soil.

Biological function.Teak forest develops together with other variety of plants. In Teak forest, we can find bungur (Lagerstroemia speciosa), dlingsem (Homalium tomentosum), dluwak (Grewia paniculata), katamaka (Kleinhovia hospita), kemloko (Phyllanthus emblica), kepuh (Sterculia foetida), kesambi (Schleichera oleosa), laban (Vitex pubscens), ploso (Butea monosperma), serut (Streblus asper), trengguli (Cassia fistula), winong (Tetrameles nudflora), etc. Lamtoro (Leucenia leucocephalla) and akasia (Acacia villosa) are planted as tanaman sela to prevent soil erosion and improve soil fertility.

In Gunung Kidul region, Yogyakarta, which was barren and heavily damaged before 1978, can be survived with planting method of jati mix forest. For almost 30 years, more than 60% damaged land change to productive lands. The local people prefer to plant Teak because they see its value and benefit, easy to plant, and its high sale value. They mix Teak in their land mahoni (Swietenia mahogany), akasia (Acacia villosa), and sonokeling (Dalbergia latifolia). Now the area is a green area with colder temperature and high biodiversity. The change invites more fauna to come, especially birds, as the indicator of healthiness of an environment. Social function.Many land of Teak forests in Java, either as productive or non productive forest, give service as education or research area, nature monitoring, recreation and tourism, and also culture development.

Angsana (Pterocarpus indicus) It is cultured widely in tropical region. Wide distributions of trees are found in primary forest and other secondary forest in low land, especially along the tidal river basin and rocky coastal area. It is a pioneer type that grows better in an open area. It grows in any kind of soil type, from the fertile soil to rocky soil. Normally found until height of 600 m dpl, but can still alive to 1.300 m dpl. It is often used as ornamental tree along the road. Its population decreasing by over exploitation, where illegal logging lead to the habitat loss. In Vietnam, the population has vanished for 300 years. Ekstensive survey in Sri Lanka fail to find this type and in India, Indonesia, and Philipina, this species is shown threatened.

3. Medicinal Plants

Climate change also gives impact to viruses and bacterias, either

they will die or adapting to climate change. As part of the

impact, demand on some medicines, including medicinal plants

increases.

Some of local people have been using medicinal plants as the

cure.

Principle in using medicinal plants is the balance; the balance between climate and

people.9

9 Adaptation to Climate Change of Local People in Medicinal Plants Utilization. Sukarsono, 2009.

The principle is believed as the basic ground for human body in interacting with

nature. In the world of medincinal plants there is a balance between YIN dan YANG. Illness means there is inbalancy between YIN dan YANG.

In hot seasom (YANG), the used compound is from the YIN plants. Characteristics of these plants

are bitter taste, sour, salty, and cold i.e. sambiloto (Andrograpis paniculata), meniran

(Phyllanthusurinaria Linn.), kunyit ((Curcuma domestica) etc.

The easiest visible sign is that the hot season will be followed by seasonal

fruit plants which is YIN (cold) i.e : watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.)

Matsum & Nakai), melon (Cucumis melo L.), cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.),

blewah (Cucumis melo L. convar. Cantalupensis), etc. Meanwhile medicinal

plants that are YIN are Daun wungu (Graptophyllum pictum), buni (Antidesma

bunius), zigzag (Pedilanthus titymaloides), awar-awar (Ficus septica), nangka

(Artocarpus sp), bakung (Crinum asiaticum), Jarak pagar (Jatropha curcas),

belimbing wuluh, patah tulang (Euphorbia hirta), Lantanan (Lantana camara),

Soka (Ixora javanica), etc.

In cold season (YIN), the used compound is from the YANG plants. This type of plants has hot taste,

warm, and sweet i.e. ginger (Zingiber officinale), jintan hitam (Nigella sativa Linn.), kapulaga (Amomum cardamomum), kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.), lempuyang (Zingiber zerumbet), etc. There are also hot fruits i.e kelengkeng, rambutan,

mangga, dll (normally harvested in December February). Some medicinal

plants with hot characteristic are Rambusa (Passiflora foetida), blustru (Lutfa

aegyptica), ginje (Thevetia peruviana), ubi jalar (Ipomoea batatas), dll.

Since1999, in Malang10

, revitalization of traditional medicinal plant has been

developed. As well as it is in Guluk-guluk, Kabupaten Sumenep, Madura. The

initative comes to an idea rehabilitating degraded land in Kabupaten

Malang, through ecosystem management concept to give opportunity for community participation,

giving incentive from the use of non extractive natural resources, considering ecosystem services

within.

10 Kabupaten Malang is located in East Java Province. Most of the area is a dryland (1.242,81 km2) and forest (1.119,59 km2). Until now about 12.000 hektar of forests in Kabupaten Malang have been converted to agriculture. Unplanted hills created erosion and landslides. The water catchment area which was the biggest water resources has been much degraded.

Gunung Panderman lies in western region of Kota Batu. It becomes freshwater catchment area for

people in western region of Batu and some hotels in some regions in Malang. Bukit Seruk is one of

hills in Gunung Panderman that is recommended for a place of medicinal plants (1.965 dpl).

People call it as Gunung Obat (Medicinal Mountain).

Durable Medicinal Plant to Climate and Seasonal Change

Plants that are not easily influenced by the changing climate are plants having neutral

characteristic. These plants are able to used either in cold or hot climate such as:

- Pegagan (Centella asiatica); for neural deseases, grows all the year.

- Pule (tree), for cleaning blooddetoxifikasi, and dizziness.

- Kayu manis (Cinnamomum verum); for rheumatic and aromateraphy.

- Pohon Secang (Caesalpia sappan L.), for breathing illness, including TBC. - Sligi (Phylanthus foxifolius) for rheumatic

- Asam Trengguli (Casia javanica); for constipascy and ambeien.

- Bungur (Lagerstroemia), contains Pletizole as subtitue of insulin to cure diabetes

- Bamboo; for flecks, etc.

- Kembang sepatu (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.) for asthma.

4. Cultivication of Medicinal Plant on Marginal Land, for Socio-Economic Improvement

The people in Lereng Merapi plant some medicinal plants in marginal land,

where other plants can not survive because it is on a slope and covered with

other high plants like bamboo which causes minimum sun light. The medicinal

plants are ginger (Zingiber officinale), kunyit ((Curcuma domestica), kunyit

mangga, kencur (Kaempferia galanga L.), etc.

While as food sources, they conserve ganyong (Canna discolor L. syn.

C. edulis) and talas (Colocasia esculenta L).

Eventhough the temperature has been changing moderately in this

area, these plants are still able to grow.

3. Innovation of Biodiversity Conservation on Adapting to Climate Change

a. Agro ecosystem

Based on best practices, people tried to make innovaton to find suitable food

resources in a changed land. These are some rice paddy, trees, and crops

that are part of innovation on biodiversity conservation to adapt in climate

change.

1. Rice Paddy Varieties in Saline Land

Paddy Variety for Saline Land (Pangandaran, Brebes)

Through their knowledge, farmers have been trying to find new varieties

which able to grow in a saline land.

In some coastal areas in Brebes, Central Java, as impact of climate change

and human disturbance, the seawater intrude to agriculture land and damage

the rice field.

As part of adaptation, the farmers plant some rice paddy varieties with

endurance to the saline land. They name it as INTRANS variety, planted by

local people with particular technique as rehabilitation effort of the

agriculture land.

2. Rooftop garden and vertical planting Due to the limited land for gardening or even farming, now people start to

use rooftop for planting, because basically any roof surface can be greened.

The problem of decreasing land for agriculture as impact of climate change

seemingly has found a good small solution.

The rooftop garden and vertical planting can support production of urban food, improve air

quality and reduce CO2 emissions.

3. Agriculture technique in dry ecosystem In Semau, a small island in East Nusa Tenggara, people start to plant chilli using water drops

system to prevent the plant from dryness.


3. Innovation

23

b. Marine, Coastal, and Small Islands ecosystem

1. Green Belts and bufferzones

Based on best practices in coastal protection through mangrove conservation and life fences, now

people at globally initiating few programs for establishment of green belts - includes mangroves,

other coastal forest, live fences and trees in home gardens for sustainable livelihoods and as

protective belts in coastal villages.

Mangrove greenbelts can provide significant coastal protection from erosion and should be

established along erosion-prone coastlines and riverbanks and in areas which experience

significant damage from typhoons, tidal surges, cyclones, and geomorphic erosion (Macintosh and

Ashton 2004).

2. Regional Marine Conservation Area (Kawasan Konservasi Laut Daerah)

As part of integrated coastal area management, government together with NGOs and local

community has been developing the concept of regional marine conservation area, where turtle

and coral reef conservation are part of the objectives. Although the policy is hardly included as

innovation in adapting to climate change, however the conservation practices in these areas will

maintain the sustainable use of marine resources in supporting life including in changing climate.

c. Forest ecosystem

City Forest as replication of lembo

In Indonesia, city forest ecosystem has been stated in Government Regulation as

part of artificial ecosystem. Some roles of city forest are to modify micro

climate, reduce speed of wind, increase long wave radiaton, save the drops of

rainwater, as air cooler through evapotransporation, and increase air humidity.

Other function of city forest are to prevent grains of dust, polutant gas, as a city ventilator, sun

light controller, city lungs, noice prevention, waste controller, erosion controller, stress reducer,

genetic conservation, seawater intrusion, and for beautiness of the city.

Suitable trees for city forest are Bintaro (Cerbera manghas), Jengkoll (Pithecellobium jiringa),

Gaharu (Aquilaria malaccensis), Aren (Arenga pinnata), Asam (Tamarindus

indica), Damar (Agathis dammara (Lamb.) Rich), Duku (Lansium domesticum

(Artocarpus atillis), Candle nut or Kemiri (Aleurites moluccana), etc.


4. Cultural Values and Traditonal Knowledge

25

4. Role of Cultural Values and Traditional Knowledge on Biodiversity Conservation on Adapting to Climate

Change

Traditional knowledge play important role in adapting to climate change. It generally refers to

the matured long-standing traditions and practices of certain regional, indigenous, or local

communities which become their wisdom for survival. This is particularly true of traditional

environmental knowledge, which refers to a "particular form of place-based knowledge of the

diversity and interactions among plant and animal species, landforms, watercourses, and other

qualities of the biophysical environment in a given place". 11

While Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) acknowledges its importance in article 8(j):

Subject to its national legislation, respect, preserve and maintain knowledge, innovations and practices

of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional lifestyles relevant for the conservation and

sustainable use of biological diversity and promote their wider application with the approval and

involvement of the holders of such knowledge, innovations and practices and encourage the equitable

sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of such knowledge, innovations and practices.

The knowledge comes from observation on how the nature works on earth. The farmers, people in

forest, or fishermen generally have that kind of knowledge. When global warming occurs and

nature does not work as it used to, then it is time for us to look back and find out what nature have

showed us to adapt on the changing climate.

Sasi System

Sasi is a harvesting rule arranged by traditional institution and important for fisheries resources

management. The rule, supervised by the institution, embodies the main principle of law of certain

societies like one in Pulau Kei, Maluku. Basically it is a prohibition in harvesting natural resources

from sea, river, and forest, to protect the quality and population of certain resources. Sasi system

maintains the sustainability of natural resources.

In adapting to climate change where natural resources may be decreasing, this system will help in

reducing the loss possibility of the natural resources.

Biodiversity Conservation as part of Balinese culture

He is called as Sang Penyelamat Pisang Bali (the savior of Balis Banana) who also has

conserved Bali culture. Result of his research is biopesticide for banana desease thus the local

people able to continuously practice its local tradition, creating banten.

Fruits are very important to Balinese people because it is an offered component to God in Hindu

religion. The offered component with different kind of fruits mixed with meat, flowers, and tuber

roots is called banten. There are four types of fruits as the dominant fruits for Hindu ceremonies

which are local banana, imported apple, imported mandarin, and local mandarin.12

Since they need these fruits as part of their religion, some people have been trying to conserve

it.

Banana, the

most dominant fruits for banten, is at the second position as the highest production number in Bali.

13

Not only fruits, animals also important as part of their sacrifice to the God. Aware to need of

plants and animals, Balinese people preserve them for the sake of the religious ritual and

ceremonies. They show their gratitude to nature in their indigenous way, again through offering

and ceremony that of course also create the need for environmental conservation by Balinese

people. As example of environmental conservation, a biopesticide has been found as cure of

illness of banana tree.

Through environmental conservation by Balinese people, the impact of climate change can be

easily overcomed since they are used to respond quickly to the changing environment in

overcoming the phenomena to keep up the availability of banten.

Lembo

Lembo is a traditional land use system in East Kalimantan (Sardjono, MA, 1988). It is a traditional

lifestyle of a tribe in Kalimantan; the Tunjung and Benuaq Dayak, which has developed since

generations. Lembo is not only a miniature scale forest in the rural agro ecosystems, but also has

integrated multiple functions in the rural and social life, as part of farming land or settlements.

Lembo can be identified as tree covered areas on farmland and/or around the houses of their

owners with high species diversity which needs a good knowledge of species combination.14

27

Lembo plays an important role in their culture.15

Some of its products meet their own needs

(susbsistence) or can be traded and play an important role in maintaining the local ecological

equilibrium. Lembo also has a wide range of functions, from its products, their use, and their

economic and socioculture roles.

Based on ecological and socioeconomic criteria, the lembo system is undoubtedly suitable

(Sardjono MA, 1996). The advantage of the lembo system is it has less dependent on external

inputs and capital (and not at all dependent on markets), poses fewer and lower risks, and has

been a part of the villagers tradition.

Related to adaptation to climate change, lembo plays important role to maintain the surrounding

climate, while it also delivers varieties of foods to the local community.

5. Resume and Conclussion

28

5. Resume and Recomendation

As the world has been created and nature is part of it, every single creature must have their own

role. Due to climate change, biodiversity has ability to support the livelihood as well as the

traditional knowledge and culture to conserve biodiversity.

In agro ecosystem - which plays the most important role for human livelihood - some plants have

endurance to grow in such extreme condition such as a dry land, saline land, or even a flooded

land.

In forest ecosystem, some medicinal plants are able to grow in marginal land. Sago which is also

edible - even can create its own forest ecosystem consisting of particular biodiversity. The forest

will maintain its surrounding climate thus the impact of climate change can be reduced.

In addition, in coastal ecosystem and small islands - with the increasing of seawater level and a

dry and hot land surface during the day - the biodiversity can help to reduce the seawater

intrusion and increase the possibility of certain crops to grow in a changing climate.

Some traditional knowledge and cultures particularly help people in valuing the nature and

biodiversity. Some are still exist and even promoted in modern society, but many of them are

vanished and forgotten.

The research is completed to increase awareness of people on how important biodiversity is in

every aspect of our life as well as in adapting to climate change. It also fulfills our needs on

water, energy, health, and agriculture (WEHA) as they are the focus on sustainable development.

As conclusion, starting with our hand to conserve biodiversity, like those that have been done by

people or local community, may be the easiest and the friendly way in adapting to climate

change compare to the use of modern technology and a high cost adaptation method. Therefore,

community based biodiversity conservation efforts should be appreciated and promoted.
