Climate change poses significant challenges to ecosystems globally, demanding innovative methods for environmental conservation and restoration. Restoration initiatives require significant amounts of appropriate vegetation that is both adaptive and tolerant to the specific environmental factors. This study introduces an adaptive-vegetation model designed to support ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change. Traditional restoration methods often neglect dynamic environmental conditions and ecosystem interactions, but the model employs real-time data and predictive analytics to adapt strategies to evolving climate variables. The model takes a comprehensive approach, incorporating climate projections, soil health metrics, species adaptability, and hydrological patterns to inform restoration practices. By using a mix of adaptable native species, the model promotes biodiversity. In conclusion, according to the findings of our review, paludiculture and agroforestry could be implemented as models for improving climate resilience, particularly in tropical degraded peat swamp forests. These two models could improve the environment, the economy, and social functions. Finally, improving all three of these factors improves ecological stability. This adaptive-vegetation model represents a significant shift from static, uniform restoration approaches to dynamic, data-driven strategies tailored to specific environments. The future research directions underscore the need for ongoing innovation in conservation practices to safeguard ecosystems amid unprecedented environmental changes. Future efforts will focus on enhancing the model with advanced machine learning techniques and expanding its application to additional ecological contexts.

Nutrient resorption (NR) is a critical ecological process in forest ecosystems. However, there is a lack of knowledge about this process in the peatlands of Indonesia, and this may be seen as a research gap. In the present study, NR in young trees of three native species (Macaranga pruinosa, Cratoxylum arborescens, and Macaranga gigantea) and one exotic species (Acacia crassicarpa) in a drained tropical peatland was investigated. This study was conducted at an experimental plot in Pelalawan-Riau, Indonesia. Nutrient resorption efficiency (RE) and proficiency (RP) were calculated and correlated with soil properties, foliar nutrients, and growth variables. Our results revealed that M. pruinosa exhibited an RE value for phosphorus (PRE) that was 64% higher than that for the second-ranked native species but still significantly (84%) lower than that for A. crassicarpa. RE values for nitrogen (NRE) and potassium (KRE) did not differ significantly among species, ranging from 39 to 42% and 41 to 56%, respectively, for native species, with figures of 45% and 66%, respectively, for A. crassicarpa. Finally, PRE exhibited strong and significant correlations with PRP and tree growth, a finding that indicated that the uptake and conservation of P nutrients are essential for the fitness of the three native species. Overall, the results of the present study may be seen as beneficial for species selection and the management of nutrients by those engaged in restoration of tropical peatland forests.

The analysis of public information disclosure policy implementation is a crucial step in improving services and providing strategic references for government public information programs. The Forest Management Technical Personnel Information System (SIGANISHUT) was developed under the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) Regulation No. 8 of 2021. This study examined the implementation of public information disclosure within SIGANISHUT, which is managed by the Directorate of Fees and Forest Product Distribution, Directorate General of Sustainable Forest Management. Using qualitative methods—including in-depth interviews, literature reviews, and observations—this study found that SIGANISHUT is managed with a user-centered approach. However, challenges persist regarding resource availability and disposition. The system requires additional personnel and increased budget allocation to support field-level policy socialization. Despite these challenges, policy implementers demonstrate accountability in implementing MoEF Regulation No. 8 of 2021 and respond effectively to user complaints and operational issues. From a bureaucratic perspective, the current framework adheres to the Standard Operating Procedures outlined in the regulation, with a well-coordinated division of responsibilities among implementers. SIGANISHUT streamlines bureaucracy by reducing service times through digital integration.With sufficient support and well-designed policies, the legislative mandate on public information disclosure can be implemented more effectively and efficiently. This study underscores the importance of continuous evaluation and development to ensure SIGANISHUT meets stakeholder expectations and contributes to transparency and accountability in sustainable forest management.

Indonesia has abundant and valuable natural resources. Most are non-renewable, so their use should be managed sustainably. Resource use is not free from the political intervention, for example, during the national general elections, natural resources become important for financing the political activities of politicians competing in the elections. This paper reviews the political dimensions of natural resource management, particularly how natural resources function as political capital. Natural resource management (NRM) is shaped by collusion, corruption, and nepotism. As a result, natural resource wealth is not a blessing but a resource curse. Natural resource management faces a paradox, particularly in the forestry, mining, and plantation sectors. For example, in the mining sector, nickel products are exported illegally, and investors are predominantly from China. To adress this situtation, the government should reform its NRM laws and policies based on people prosperity approach. The three ministries (Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and Ministry of Agriculture) related to NRM should develop best policies and regulations for the benefit and prosperity of all Indonesian people. Future research would focus on political engagement between the government official and business people, and the nepotism of appointed commissioners in state-owned companies in NRM business.

The Dieng Plateau is an area known for its agricultural cultivation. However, excessive use of land for agriculture increases the potential for landslides that disrupt community activities. This research aims to determine the potential losses due to landslides on agricultural land and determine strategies for managing environmental damage due to landslides in the Dieng Plateau. Determination of sample locations was carried out using the purposive sampling method, while data collection used the accidental sampling method. Data analysis uses quantitative techniques and SWOT analysis is used to formulate environmental damage management strategies. The research results show that the greatest losses due to landslides occur during the harvest period. The observation location that has the greatest potential for loss is location 1 which is Dieng Kulon Village. As the years go by, the resulting losses will be greater. The appropriate environmental management strategy to implement is Planting of vegetation types that are beneficial for the environment, tourism and agriculture to improve environmental quality and improve community welfare, stricter monitoring of agricultural activities, and the formation of a disaster response team.
