STRATEGI IMPLEMENTASI REDUCED IMPACT LOGGING PADA PENGELOLAAN HUTAN ALAM PRODUKSI LESTARI DI INDONESIA

Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) is a timber harvesting method, which is a practical experience to implement an environmentally friendly harvesting system based on its theoretical principals in comparison with practical experience. RIL has been practiced by some concessions (HPHs) to demonstrate some key necessary factors are required in meeting the sustainable forest management (SFM) that eventually is a significant key point to meet suffcient criteria and indicators in forest management unit certification. Until present, there are still few concessions' (HPHs) workers in Indonesia really know and understand on how to implement the concept of RIL put into practice on the ground be integrated in their forest management unit activities. This fact could be a trade barrier for Indonesia to market the end of wooden product to the international community The research objectives are to understand obstacles/constraints of RIL implementation, level of RIL demand and formulation alternatives a strategy to implement RIL in sustainable natural production forest in Indonesia Primary. strategy is to adopt ecolabelling certification scheme/system. Another strategy is on human resource development, performance assessment, strengthening RIL's position as being a conception and a well-applied tool in a concession's program, fiaming the RIL's rules and creating guidelines on how to implement RIL into the ground The main strategy is the most priority for implementing the RIL concept in Indonesia is adoption of ecolabeling certification system by concessions' holders. The objective is to reach the target by emphasizing the field practice ,focused on ecological aspects. Actors are expected to play in forest utilization management is the top management in concession. Another supporting factor that would be a key success is certainly of operational area an authority to utilize the forest (delineatiod/boundary issue) that would guarantee the forest concession holder in running their forestry business in Indonesi
