Past regulations and policies are identified as the main reasons behind the decrease of Sandalwood population particularly in Timor island. Regulations and policies which excluded communities resulted in the scarcity of Sandalwood. Funded by ITTO (International Tropical Timber Organization) through Project ITTO PD 459/07 Rev.1 (F).; “Improving the Enabling Conditions for Sustainable Management of Sandalwood Forest Resources in East Nusa Tenggara” , the Ministry of Forestry of Indonesia currently supports Sandalwood conservation in East Nusa Tenggara through strengthening policy frameworks, economic incentive, and local institution for sustainable Sandalwood management. It becomes a priority program to deal with Sandalwood-related issues in East Nusa Tenggara. At the inial stage with a support from ITTO, policy analysis and economic incentive for Sandalwood management in East Nusa Tenggara as the realisation of the Action Plan and the Master Plan of Sandalwood management, have been conducted. The activities included stand inventory of Sandalwood in South Timor Tengah (TTS). It was conducted by TTS district forestry and plantation offices in 23 villages. The inventory data is very important as the input to improve policies on Sandalwood management in East Nusa Tenggara particularly in TTS district. The initiave to conduct the stand inventory is highly appreciated and expected to be conducted in every village in TTS district. We thank TTS district forestry and plantation office which has worked very hard and the ITTO PD 459/07 Rev.1 (F) project which has facilitated the inventory activity and supports the publication. We hope that this publication will encourage similar inventory activities in other districts in East Nusa Tenggara. Jakarta, August 2010 The Director of Natural Forest Management Ir. Listya Kusumawardhani, MSc Inventory of Sandalwood Trees at Timor Tengah Selatan District iii iv Inventory of Sandalwood Trees at Timor Tengah Selatan District FOREWORD In implementing the provincial government program of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) to regain the odor of sandalwood, one of the program of the governor is formulated in the spirit of local government mission to put back the NTT Province to become again the sandalwood province. Various activities have been done among others the making of sandalwood working unit, seminars at national as well as regional levels. In order to improve sandalwood development, inventory is needed especially for trees that later are to become seed source. Supported by ITTO funding, inventory was done at the Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) District, but which has not been completely done due to lack of time and funding, eventhough it does not lessen the spirit to implement the activities. At the end of the said activities, a public consultation will be done to ask for opinion about how sandalwood would be in the future, especially about the regulation to guarantee communities which planted sandalwood. Finally we wish to say thank you to ITTO and everyone involved who have given a helping hand in the sandalwood inventory in the South Central Timor (TTS) District. May what is given by the inventory team will be useful to all stakeholders who are concerned about the development of sandalwood in NTT. Soe, 24 May 2010 Ir.
