Nível de sensibilidade

For Land Agriculture is seawater intrusion and fire

Nível de capacidade adaptativa

in the ocean/sea, winds will difficult to predict when to stop, this affects the ocean/sea waves; the rainy season is not the right time to influence the planting season and harvest time (for Borneo's still slash and burn agriculture will lead to land and forest fire danger and severe weather because there is smog; and length of the dry season so that the intrusion of sea water affect clean water resources
Solution

Very high sensitivity level because it will damage the ecosystem and biodiversity as it tends to get economic value than the balance of the ecosystem

Results

Custos Ecológicos

To reduce the impact of climate change, especially sea water intrusion, and wind and tidal flooding due to rising group of people who happen to live in areas close to coastal estuaries keeping with maintaining mangrove ecosystems, especially palm and swam

Benefício Ecológico

Given community natural resource management alternatives that can support its life in the future with an alternative income and community forestry systems that managed to keep the carbon, maintain forest ecosystems and rivers as a source of clean water.

Indicadores Econômicos usados para medir o benefício

In community capacity building, training group increased product utilization livelihood thereby increasing economic output and is not affected in climatic conditions, and the next group will make fish farming cages / net to catch to address the shortage of fish. With the group was able to make change for the better and survive on climate change is happening so they can still get the economy regardless of climate change. But it is not just enough to adapt but how communities to reduce the impact of climate change by maintaining the activities of forest ecosystems and palm trees (as part of a group of mangrove).

Custo comunitário/social

Society does not change the ecosystem area Nypa trees into other areas, then do not do the opening in the area of agricultural peat and not an activity that can be the land of fire and keeping community in the buffer area of peat swamp Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve is not a palm plantation area and is currently being proposed Community Forest areas that will be managed group later.

Benefício Social/Comunitário

Keeping the peat swamp forest area change into oil palm plantation area, not a slash and burn cultivation area but jelutung plantation area and with this effort will keep the area where the orangutan habitat as well as the habitat of orangutans and expected future stream does not dry out and keep the abundance of fish in the river.

Indicadores comunitários/sociais usados para medir o benefício

The area that became the size of palm broad indicator of the benefits are maintained in the estuary area, not degraded, then the total area of ??the group of candidates managed forests covering an area of 2000 hectares awake.

Custo Econômico

For this case does not exist except among areas where they keep their fishing area respectively in the sea, so that the other party is not allowed to catch in the area of ??rural areas in other districts and the settlement with deliberation

Benefício económico

Community Forestry has formed a group that keeps the peat swamp ecosystem and the group of women who manage and maintain aquatic ecosystems results Nypa

Indicadores Ecológicos usados para medir o benefício

The average number of people present in the community forest group meetings up to 30 people and a group of women as a support group there were 22 people present for the meeting. On average they are fishermen, cultivators and jelutung tappers.

Quais foram/são os desafios que sua comunidade enfrentou na implementação desta solução?

Costs for community meetings monthly average in two groups sampaik 3 million rupiah because of transportation costs, then to a local training about 1-2 million rupiah and study outside the region to 20 million (sugaring training and care of trees Nypa Nypa in Cilacap, Central Java)

Action

Descreva o processo baseado na comunidade usado para desenvolver a solução, incluindo ferramentas e processos usados

Dangers of climate change affecting the community in finding sources of economic necessity thus negatively affecting the behavior change that tended to destroy society, as more turn to the forest for hunting and open land with fuel and poison the fish in the river.

Perigo climático preocupante

Society can survive / adapt to climate change patterns by settled agriculture without burning near their village, the villagers can also planting trees to hold back seawater intrusion and maintain the river does not dry up the springs so that clean water

Como sua solução reduz a exposição e amortece/protege o ecossistema afetado?

Community-based process that is used is a community mobilization and participatory to develop alternative income communities at the local level that they have done. Form that has been developed is a support group through the development of community forestry manufacturing and marketing of dried fish, fish crackers / shrimp, making nipah sugar, caring for nipah plants and plant jelutung trees by jelutung tappers. Activities undertaken all tailored to their livelihood, the solution just found a way to improve the quality of results and the capacity of the community. They also keep the palm trees and the ecosystem can sustain jelutung estuarine areas and peat area in order to keep the sea water does not enter water sources clean and maintained. In group decision making has always held a meeting and discussed with members of the companion as a partner in the development of solutions / group plan. Organizations supporting this group is Yayorin, OF UK, BKSDA Central Kalimantan, Clinton Foundation. Implementation of these activities sustainable expectations, and the current 1.5 years to support activities.

How has your solution increased the capacity of the ecosystem to adapt to potential climate changes?

Changing temperatures and weather patterns

Como sua solução reduz a exposição e amortece/protege as comunidades afetadas?

As already mentioned at the beginning that the group create an alternative income from regular resources they can from their village areas, one of which they utilize water taken nira nipah from fruit and processed into sugar, and the community will keep the palm ecosystem while keeping them protected from sea flooding , prolonged sea water intrusion and maintain clean water sources in the peat swamp forests of maintaining forest ecosystems and planted with native tree species that jelutung (Dyera sp) and other marsh plants.

Como sua solução reduz a sensibilidade das comunidades afetadas?

Sensitivity of the community against the effects of climate change are the symptoms of the weather conditions become hot so most people are aware need to plant trees, reducing redundant activities (burn area). Then another effect of climate is the climate change also affects the rainy season so that farmers make their agricultural stress dry / flooded sehingg crop failure and are also frequently affected by pests due to burned forest pests so fled to the fields. To avoid this the following directives chaperone partners for not slash and burn farming again but settled pattern of mixed garden or yard polybags system. Then the fishermen who go to sea do not get caught because not through or sea is not optimal because of the wind and waves. Then they initiated for the fishermen to make fish farming in cages / net.

Como sua solução aumentou a capacidade das comunidades locais de se adaptarem a possíveis mudanças climáticas?

Our group will do the planting in degraded forest areas which are part peat carbon store that can not be separated in order to increase the concentration of carbon greenhouse gas that can contribute to climate change. Planting activities undertaken is to grow crops that support the economy and keep the peat swamp habitat while maintaining a clean water source in peat forests. While other activities are palm trees to maintain ecosystem function like ecosystems such as mangroves to withstand abrasion, seawater intrusion.
