SUCCESS STORY OF

CRITICAL LAND REHABILITATION

WANAGAMA EDUCATION FOREST

(Wanagama 1)

WANAGAMAWana : Forest Gama : Universitas Gadjah Mada

: Wana & Gama

A forest managed by Faculty of Forestry, Universitas Gadjah Mada

The Objectives1. To provide a place for Faculty of Forestry

lecturers and students to carry out three-part of functions: teaching, extension and research

2. To conduct outreach programs for college students, primary and high school students as well as individuals interested in learning about forest and environment

Forest area in Wanagama was critical - bareland (no tree vegetation) - soil was severely eroded (scarce soils between rocks)

Background

Challenge for Prof. Oemi Haniin to conduct rehabilitation

Rehabilitatation constrain:• Physical Constrain:

• Social Constrain:

1. soil condition2. climate3. topography

1. poor people2. less education3. depend on forest

(long dry season)

Wood for houses

Villagers use forest resources to meet

their needs

Fodder for cattle

Firewood for cooking

Establishment of Morus sp plantation and cultivation of Bombix mori (silk-worm) to

financing rehabilitation program in Wanagama 1 House of Bombix mori

REHABILITATION STRATEGY

Soil development3. Biological Approach

Vegetation succession

• Pioneer Legumes

• Extension• Allowing benefits Fodder, firewood,

crops, wages

Extension & Extension & ZakatZakat

1. Social Approach

• Traditional ceremony Leather puppet “Merti desa”

- Extension

• Religious event Eid Mubarok Zakat

“Merti desa” is a ceremony to warship God for successful farming

Social approaches ……. (continued)

- Firewood: dead twigs and branches

- Labor

- Fodder Dung and manures returned to forest

- Terrace construction- Seed collection- Nursery activities- Etc.

Social approaches ……. (continued)

Agroforestry system- Grow crops

Alley cropping Trees along border

2. Technical approaches

Dung application Terracing

• Terracing• Dung

application

Acacia villosa Gliricidia sepium

Planting pioneer vegetation (Acacia villosa, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala)

3. Biological approach

- Soil development - Micro environment improvementVegetation succession

Pioneer vegetation played important roles in the early establishment of Wanagama 1

Leucaena leucocepkala

Multi purpose tree

- Started in 1964/1966- In 10 ha area at compartment 5- From a bare-land

Rehabilitation in Wanagama 1

Five spirits / commitments to

develop Wanagama: Spirits of Hard Work, Smart Work, Sincere Work, Collaboration Work and Total Work
