Although ICCAs have proven to be capable of maintaining the unity of ecosystems, culture and community wellbeing, ICCAs are actually under increasing threats of damage and extinction. These threats are intensified by the lack of countries/governments that recognize, protect and respect adat territories and natural resources owned by local and adat communities. Not to mention the important contributions that local and communities have given to the management and maintenance of their conserved areas. In Indonesia, the regulatory frameworks related to the recognition and respect of ICCAs have evolved, although they still tend to be dominated by the government authority. In 1990, the government issued Law No. 5 of 1990 concerning Conservation of Natural Resources and Ecosystems. Currently, within the time span of 2014 – 2018, a number of the new regulations provide an opportunity to strengthen the recognition and protection of ICCAs in Indonesia. Today, a discussion is underway on the revision of Law 5/1990 which is being advocated by the Working Group on ICCAs Indonesia (WGII) 2. In general, the government is beginning to shift its views on the existence of ICCAs and the role of indigenous and local communities in conservation. The Directorate General of Natural Resources Conservation and Ecosystems at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MOEF) has confirmed a new approach in the management of conserved forest areas. One such approach is to place local and adat communities as one of the subjects of conserved area management. This can be seen from Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 83/2016 on Social Forestry and Director General of Natural Resources Conservation and Ecosystem Regulation No: P.6/KSDAE/SET/Kum.1/6/2018 concerning Technical Guidelines for Conservation Partnerships in Natural Reserve Areas and Natural Conservation Areas. Adat peoples3 as one of the legal subjects have been regarded as important actors in forest management. The decision of the Constitutional Court No. 35/2012 concerning the Testing of Forestry Law No. 41/1999 has 1 3 In Indonesia the concept is called AKKMA. 2 Information on WGII can be accessed on http://iccas.or.id/tentang-wgii/ 3 It is common in Indonesia to use of the terms Masyarakat Adat (Indigenous Peoples) and Masyarakat Hukum Adat (Adat Page Law Communities) for the same purpose. The term Masyarakat Adat is a translation of the Dutch term rechtsgameenschap confirmed the constitutional rights of adat peoples as the ones with the control and management rights of forests in their adat territories. Legal recognition of adat peoples has been done by local governments through regional (provincial and district/city) regulations. According to the Epistema Institute database, up to February 2018 there have been 225 local law products distributed throughout different provinces and districts/cities in Indonesia which recognize the existence of Adat Law Communities covering an area of adat territories around 213,541.01 hectares. Nonetheless, legal recognition of adat law communities in reality is still limited to the recognition of their existence (as a subject). This recognition of adat law communities’ existence is rarely accompanied by the legal recognition of their adat territories as their living space. The implication is that adat peoples who want to manage their adat territories still have to go through other legal processes, such as the mapping of their adat territories and their registration. This condition alone presents a challenge, and WGII is trying to advocate the solution to this challenge through the revision of Law No. 5/1999. It is not difficult to find conservation practices carried out by local and adat communities in Indonesia. The following are some examples which are worth to mention: the sacred forest of the Kajang People in Bulukumba District, South Sulawesi Province; Leuweung Tutupan (protected forest), in the Kasepuhan Community in Lebak District, Banten. However, these local wisdom-based conservation practices have not been fully accommodated by the legislation at the national, provincial and district/city levels. Therefore, the conservation area “in the style of” Kajang People is still threatened by extractive forest industry practices. Meanwhile, the protected forest of Kasepuhan Community has little chance to be managed directly by the people since it is included in the forest area which has a conservation function. By considering the legal frameworks on conservation and conservation practices of local and adat communities in Indonesia, this analysis will observe, first of all, the conservation legal frameworks in Indonesia and ICCAs recognition and protection, as well as ICCAs practices of local and adat communities in several areas in Indonesia. 1. The Goal of Analysis The main goal of this legal analysis is to describe the impact of legal regulations, policies, and institutions at the national, provincial, and district/city level on ICCAs, and to provide recommendations on how to strengthen the recognition and respect of ICCAs. This legal analysis for Indonesia is a part of reports from several countries organized by Natural Justice and ICCAs Consortium which include: • Africa: Benin, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco, Namibia, Senegal, Tanzania, and Zambia. • Americas: Argentina, Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, and Suriname. • Asia: Georgia, Indonesia, Iran, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Maldives, Philippines, and Viet Nam. The global report will be completed by the Natural Justice dan ICCAs Consortium which will be elaborated by analysis at both regional and international levels. or adatrechtsgameenschap which was first introduced by C. van Vollenhoven. Ter Haar (student of van Vollenhopen) defined Masyarakat Hukum Adat as the units that have their own orderly and eternal arrangement and have their own management and wealth, both material and immaterial. On the other hand, the origin of the term Masyarakat Adat is quite difficult to trace. Some people say this term is a direct translation of the term Indigenous Peoples, but others disagree. The definition of Masyarakat Adat was formulated in 1993 by Jaringan Pembela Hak-Hak Masyarakat Adat (Japhama) or Indigenous Peoples Rights Defenders Network which was later adopted by the Alliansi Masyarakat Adat 4 Nusantara (AMAN) or the Archipelago Indigenous Peoples Alliance in 1999, as community groups who have ancestral origins (for generations) in a certain geographical area, and have certain values, ideologies, economics, politics, cultures and territories (for further information, read Pengakuan Hukum terhadap Masyarakat Adat di Indonesia, by Rikardo Page Simarmata, 2006: 23-27). In this paper, the author will use both terms interchangeably with the same meaning. 2. Methodology of Analysis The methods used in this analysis follow to the steps provided by the International Research Team organized by Natural Justice and the ICCAs Consortium that is through answering a series of key questions which are divided into 13 (thirteen) issues or fields. The types of data used in this analysis are primary data and secondary data. Primary data are obtained through a workshop process/FGD in order to get experience in ICCAs practices as well as the application of legal laws and regulatory policies in the practices of natural resources conservation. The primary data is needed as a result of the empirical legal research approach and an attempt to get a real-life snapshot in the field. On the other hand, secondary data are used to explain the legal aspects of ICCAs which include (i) primary legal material in the form of laws and regulations concerning forestry, the environment, spatial planning, land, adat law communities; (ii) secondary legal materials in the form of books, research results, magazines and

  • The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics
    The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics The Indonesian term adat means ‘custom’ or ‘tradition’, and carries connotations of sedate order and harmony. Yet in recent years it has suddenly become associated with activism, protest and violence. Since the resignation of President Suharto in 1998, diverse indigenous communities and ethnic groups across Indonesia have publicly, vocally, and sometimes violently, demanded the right to implement elements of adat in their home territories. This book investigates the revival of adat in Indonesian politics, identifying its origins, the historical factors that have conditioned it and the reasons for its recent blossoming. The book considers whether the adat revival is a constructive contribution to Indonesia’s new political pluralism or a divisive, dangerous and reactionary force, and examines the implications for the development of democracy, human rights, civility and political stability. It is argued that the current interest in adat is not simply a national offshoot of international discourses on indigenous rights, but also reflects a specifically Indonesian ideological tradition in which land, community and custom provide the normative reference points for political struggles. Whilst campaigns in the name of adat may succeed in redressing injustices with regard to land tenure and helping to preserve local order in troubled times, attempts to create enduring forms of political order based on adat are fraught with dangers. These dangers include the exacerbation of ethnic conflict, the legitimation of social inequality, the denial of individual rights and the diversion of attention away from issues of citizenship, democracy and the rule of law at national level. Overall, this book is a full appraisal of the growing significance of adat in Indonesian politics, and is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary Indonesian political landscape.

    confirm that the condition was really the impact of development, the paper will look at the condition of Orang Baduy who have ‐‐to some degree‐‐ rejected such development. The rejection of development by the Orang Baduy has resulted in a relative socio‐cultural integrity in the community. Finally, the presentation will close with a discussion of some scenarios of development and its impact upon traditional communities. Keywords: development, exclusion, Orang Rimba dan Orang Baduy HOW DEVELOPMENT AND CONSERVATION INTERVENTIONS MAY BOTH EXACERBATE AND MITIGATE MARGINALITY: SHIFTING POWER RELATIONS ON THE LINDU PLAIN, CENTRAL SULAWESI Greg Acciaioli The University of Western Australia Among the development interventions of the Indonesian government briefly following independence was a program of ‘seeding’ numerous lakes across Indonesia with the spawn of Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus. i.e. mujair or nila). This paper traces the chain of consequences across decades of this fish’s introduction in Lake Lindu in highland Central Sulawesi beginning in 1951. Initially, this intervention did not provide the enhanced livelihood opportunities to the Indigenous Lindu people intended by the government. Instead, Bugis migrants, IDPs from sectarian conflict in South and Central Sulawesi, used gill nets to intensify harvesting of the species and established a fish marketing system to the Palu Valley and beyond by recruiting kin and clients through chain migration. However, when the Bugis depleted the stock of tilapia in the early 1990s, the Indigenous Lindu people struck back, having been re‐empowered by their successful resistance to a hydro‐electric scheme (PLTA) at Lindu and by their emergent partnership with the Lore Lindu National Park authority and the park’s co‐manager, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), recognised through community conservation agreements.

  • Locating Indigenous Environmental Knowledge.Pdf
    Chapter 5 LOCATING INDIGENOUS ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE IN INDONESIA Tania Murray Li The idea that there is an epistemological or substantive distinction between indigenous knowledge and other kinds of knowledge (western, scientific, non-indigenous) has been, quite rightly, debunked (Agrawal 1995). Everyone has practical, usually tacit knowledge of their social and physical environment, a competence reflected in 'knowing how to go on' in the routine activities of everyday life, and the capacity to improvise and innovate when necessary (Giddens 1979). This is the kind of knowledge or disposition Bourdieu (.1977) refers to as 'habitus'. If such knowledge exists everywhere, in city and country, west and east, then the distinctive feature of 'indigenous environmental knowledge' is not its content but rather its location in particular agendas. As Gray (1995) argues, the term 'indigenous' is more imperative than descriptive, .referring to a quality that emerges· in the course of struggles over rights to territories, resources and cultural respect. Typically, these struggles pit local groups against encompassing nation states. It is in the context of such struggles that the concept of 'indigenous environmental knowledge' takes on meaning and relevance. International and national NGOs, donors, officials from various government departments, academics and tourist promoters have particular interests in supporting (or rejecting) the idea that 'indigenous people' have important knowledge. The diversity of agendas surrounding the concept of indigenous

  • Buku PRAKTIK CERDAS
    Kiat Praktis Identifikasi, Dokumentasi danPromosi Praktik Cerdas pelampung, botol bekas ini sangat kuat, elastis, ringan, mudah diperoleh, terjangkau serta dapat digunakan berulang-ulang. 3. Inovasi pada pembenihan tanaman jati lokal dilakukan oleh kelompok perempuan Kabupaten Konawe Selatan. Secara teori, benih yang akan disemai terlebih dahulu ditabur pada bedengan kemudian dibakar, namun cara tersebut memiliki tingkat keberhasilan hanya 40% untuk tumbuh. Praktik pembenihan yang dilakukan oleh kelompok perempuan Kabupaten Konawe Selatan adalah melalui pemberian perlakuan terhadap benih sebelum disemai. Benih terlebih dahulu dimasukkan ke dalam karung yang berongga dan mudah menyerap air. Kemudian benih di dalam karung direndam ke dalam pembuangan penampungan air atau ke dalam air berlumpur selama tiga hari tiga malam. Setelah tiga hari benih tersebut dijemur di bawah sinar matahari selama satu hari. Keesokan harinya benih ditaburkan ke bedeng yang telah disiapkan. Teknik lain yang juga biasa dilakukan yakni perendaman benih dengan air panas selama minimal tiga hari tiga malam, di mana setiap pagi benih tersebut dijemur di bawah sinar matahari dan di sore hari dilakukan lagi perendaman sampai esok hari untuk penjemuran. Proses dilakukan selama tiga berturut-turut. Metode bertujuan untuk memudahkan pertumbuhan kecambah pada benih jati tersebut. Cara ini memiliki 85% tingkat keberhasilan tumbuh. Praktik persemaian yang dilakukan oleh para kelompok perempuan petani jati sudah dilakukan selama kurang lebih 4 tahun. Di tahun ketiga, kegiatan persemaian jati kelompok perempuan sudah mempunyai kebun benih sendiri dengan 31 Buku Panduan usia bibit jati yang dimiliki kelompok perempuan di kebun benih sudah berumur kurang lebih 3 tahun dan tinggi pohon bibit Jati tersebut sudah mencapai sekitar 6 meter. Kebun benih milik kelompok ini adalah sebanyak 4 buah yang tersebar di 2 kecamatan dan 2 desa, yakni Kecamatan Laynea yang terdiri dari Desa Aoreo dan Desa Pamandati, serta Kecamatan Laeya yang terdiri dari Desa Lambakara dan Desa Ambalodangge di Kabupaten Konawe Selatan.
