| dc.description.abstract | Sungai Pelang Village Forest is a village forest managed by a community group in Sungai Pelang Village, Matan Hilir
Selatan District, Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan Province. The Community Group that manages Sungai Pelang VF
has a strong commitment to sustainable forest management. To minimize the negative impact of forest exploitation on
plant biodiversity in the area, it is necessary to identify the presence of protected and/or rare plant species, their threats,
as well as management and monitoring efforts for biodiversity that need to be carried out. This research aims to identify
the habitat conditions and biodiversity of plants in the Sungai Pelang VF area, Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan
Province. The richness of plant species found in the Sungai Pelang VF area is 36 types which can be grouped into 25
families. Based on location, the highest plant species richness is found in transect 2 (24 species) and the least is found in
transect 3 (10 species). The diversity of plant species in the Sungai Pelang VF area ranges from low to medium (0.000 to
2.253), while the density of plant species ranges from 0 to 78,000 ind./ha. Based on its protection status, in the Sungai
Pelang VF area there are no protected plant species found according to Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation
No. P.106 of 2018; However, 4 types of plants were found which were included in the CITES Appendix II List, and 1 type
of plant was included in the VU/Vulnerable category according to IUCN. There are 4 threats to plant biodiversity in the
Sungai Pelang VF area, namely (1) Illegal logging, (2) Area encroachment, (3) Availability of resources to manage and
monitor plants is still lacking, and (4) Forest and land fires. Plant biodiversity management activities in the Sungai Pelang
VF area that need to be carried out include boundary marking, internal and external outreach, prevention and protection
of plant biodiversity, further surveys of the population status of plant species, as well as coordination with relevant agencies
and the community. Plant biodiversity monitoring activities that need to be carried out include biodiversity and plant density,
the effectiveness of preventing and overcoming disturbances to plant biodiversity, and monitoring the intensity of
disturbances to plant biodiversity. | id |
