The research work was focused on the study of forest fire and its impact assessment on plant biodiversity by vegetation assessment in the fire-affected and adjoining non-affected areas to identify the signals of severity and probable causes of fire. Data were collected by quadrate method, site survey, consultation and group discussion, mapping of the studied area, and questionnaire survey. The results show that there was a notable difference in tree and shrub diversity. The Shannon Wienner index (H) = 0.70 and 0.49, and Simpson’s Divesity (D) = 0.64 and 0.51, for trees in adjoining and fire-affected areas respectively. Similarly, Shannon Wienner index (H) = 0.91 and 0.72, and Simpson’s Divesity (D) = 0.84 and 0.68 for shrubs in adjoining and fire-affected areas respectively. Likewise, herb diversity did not differ significantly (H = 1.02 and 0.97; D = 0.87 and 0.88 in the adjacent to burned area and fire-affected area). Gleichenia gigantea, Artemisia dubia, Rubus spp., Oxalis chodata, and some medicinal plants such as Butea minor were found to be most affected by the fire. Mainly dried thickets of Drepanostachyum intermedium and Saccharum spontaneum act as fuel for the fire, which easily ignites and regenerates soon after a fire. Drought before monsoon was found to be the leading cause of forest fires, followed by electricity shooting (17%), ignorance and carelessness (38%), slash and burn practice (15%), other (7%), and unknown causes (23%). Hence the need to better address the drivers of resource extraction from the national park to mitigate this degradation.

Damage to mangrove trees is one of them influenced by the types of tree damage. The more types of tree damage to a single mangrove tree, the worse the health level of the mangrove tree will be. This study aims to obtain damage index trend values and types of tree damage in the east coast mangrove forest area, East Lampung Regency. Measurement of the types of damage to mangrove trees was carried out three times using the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method in two FHM cluster plots for each mangrove forest area. Assessment of damage to mangrove trees uses the Damage Index formula. The results showed that the trend index values for mangrove tree damage were 9.3 and 4.5 (Resort Kuala Penet, Way Kambas National Park), 9.2 and 19.8 (Margasari, Labuhan Maringgai), and 6.2. and 9.8 (Purworejo, Pasir Sakti) with the dominant types of damage being open wounds (code 03) 343 damage, damaged foliage/shoots (code 24) 240 damage, and broken/dead (code 22) 158 damage. Thus, the trend of damage index and types of damage to mangrove trees in the east coast mangrove forest area of East Lampung Regency has increased.

One of the world's most appealing species is the Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens). Red pandas were earlier extensively distributed around Eurasia, but they're still only found in Nepal, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, and China. The pandas had a high fatality rate and minimal reproduction (usually one cub/female/year). The red panda is the only species of its kind in the world that is still living in the inaccessible Tibetan cultural sites including Langtang and other Himalayan slopes, rendering its protection vital to the preservation of Nepal's natural assets and the world's biodiversity. The purpose of this article is to describe the status, distribution, and threats of red pandas in Nepal which could be a turning point for carrying out additional studies and red panda conservation. Various articles, books, and reports that were published between 1979 and 2021 were evaluated for this purpose using Google Scholar, Research Gate, etc. For the review, we pursued 59 pieces of paper. Despite being extremely vital from preservation, technical, and socioeconomic basis, this species has seen a drop in its wild population. Globally there are less than 10,000 individuals left and in Nepal, there are about 317-552 individuals. Natural hazards also pose a risk to the habitat of exotic species like the Red Panda, in addition to human expansion, infrastructure development, scenic spots, habitat alteration, and modes of interaction.

The human-wildlife conflict (HWC) has always been a subject of concern for conservationists and people living in the proximity of forests. Nepal has witnessed increasing incidents of HWC at an alarming rate in the last few years. The study was carried out to understand the causes and trends of HWC in Kailari Rural Municipality and the perception of people towards wildlife conservation. The major tools used for the data collection were key informant interviews and questionnaire surveys. The data collected from the field was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. This study showed that crop plundering, human injuries & death, livestock injuries, and killing by wildlife was the common form of HWC and the animals with high incidents of conflict were a monkey, wild boar, elephant, tiger, blue bull, deer, and rabbit in recent years. The main crops damaged in the area were wheat, paddy, maize, peanuts, mustard, etc. The problematic animals were found to be monkeys, rabbits, and wild boars. The study concluded that tigers and elephants attack were the major problems in the areas near Dudhwa National Park (India). None of the respondents have got compensation for the loss of crops, livestock, and even in case of human casualties. Most of the respondents believed that animals come to the cropland due to farmland nearer to forest areas and lack of food for the animals.

The spirit of fisheries modernization or known as the blue revolution is to transform traditional fishing communities into modern fishermen. This paradigm aims to utilize marine resources in a modern way to increase the income of fishing communities in particular, and the income of the State in general. However, in its implementation, the use of maritime resources tends to lead to massive exploitation, thus causing damage to biodiversity and threatening ecological sustainability. Therefore, it is necessary to manage sustainable marine resources as carried out by the Bajo people. This study aims to describe the zoning system in marine resource conservation, the values of local wisdom contained in the marine conservation system, and its benefits in ecological sustainability. Methodologically, this study uses a qualitative approach, a type of ethnography. Data was collected through a process of in-depth interviews and observations. There are three main issues in the findings of this research. First, there are three zoning systems in the management of marine resources in the Bajo community, namely: sacred zone (Toroh Pamali), coral conservation zone (Tubba Dikatutuang), and free fishing zone (Sapa). Second, the existence of the zoning system is based on the local wisdom values of the Bajo community in Sama Bahari Village, including social, economic, and ecological values. Third, the existence of the zoning system to date is considered quite effective in maintaining the ecological, social, and economic sustainability of the Bajo community in Wakatobi Regency, Southeast province.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the blend of enzymes, organic catalysts, and probiotics on the water quality of Pasig River and to determine its sustainability to aquatic life. The effects of varying the dosage of the mixture were also identified. The data observed were compared to the standard for fishery water set by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). On-site application results were analyzed using paired t-test. All parameters were normally distributed. Temperature, phosphate, and BOD measures were significantly changed at (p<0.05). Results showed mixture effectiveness on temperature, pH, Chloride, Nitrate, TSS, Oil and Grease, and Surfactant as they passed the DAO 2016-08 Class C Standard. BOD, Phosphate, TSS, and Ammonia concentrations were reduced in Ayala samples. DO, Nitrate and Fecal Coliforms concentrations were reduced in Nagtahan samples. Varying the amount of mixture application yields no significant effect on the water quality. Fishes and aquatic life can still not thrive on this kind of water.

By examining environmental management accounting practices (EMAP) in South African companies, the study assists the company management to better understand their EMAP more broadly and establish effective EMAP to improve environmental management. This paper explores EMAP adopted by South African companies in Gauteng province and understands the motivation for applying the EMAP. Companies from different industrial sectors were used as the study sample. To accomplish the major aim of the study, 202 questionnaires were received as valid from the environmental managers, accountants and production managers. The study establishes that the companies are mostly using environmental management system, environmental reporting, waste management and water conservation activities as the key EMAP. This indicates that South African companies opt for EMAP with little cost involved and EMAP that does not require advanced systems in place. Also, financial gains were identified as the major motivation of EMAP adoption. This is followed by stakeholder pressure, marketing pressure and regulatory pressure. This paper will amplify literature on the EMAP adopted within industrial sectors and the motivation of adopting EMAP from an emerging market standpoint.

Glacier lake outburst is a recent incident that increases in higher glacier regions. Repeatedly Outbursts of glacier-originated lakes are prime factors for the loss of human lives as well as huge damage to local infrastructure in hilly terrain, which is recognized as hazards or natural calamities or disasters. Dhauliganga River basin is located in Uttarakhand mainly in the Chamoli district. The said research paper addresses how glacier lakes are formed and why these are busted. Data and information about the climatic condition and physical and cultural characteristics of the study area are collected from secondary sources e.g., IMD web portal, news articles, electronic media, census reports, and maps downloaded from USGS that are mapped by the QGIS software. In this research work, the area of a particular glacier zone is measured through the Google Earth software, and the measurement of the area of water bodies e.g., glacial lake with the temporal scale by Normalised Difference Water Index (NDWI), a remote sensing application. On 7th February 2021, a massive lake outburst happened in Uttarakhand, Chamoli district. Two power projects totally collapsed, many people died, and some are missing. Somehow, behind the occurrence of the glacier lake outburst (GLOF) global warming is one of the reasons for it. Anthropogenic activities influence the cause of temperature increase and climate change.

A woodlot is a piece of woodland that is a privately owned farm for tree plantation. It has become a common activity among local households in Ethiopia. Currently, local households in Jamma District, Ethiopia predominantly plant eucalyptus woodlot as their alternative income source. However, there is no empirical evidence on the factors that affect driving maximum income from Eucalyptus woodlot. This study investigated the factors affecting income from Eucalyptus woodlots in the Jamma district. Data were collected and organized by the household survey, key informant interview, field observation, and focus group discussion. Qualitative and quantitative data were used from primary and secondary sources. A total of 150 randomly selected households were interviewed from Eucalyptus woodlot owners. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to determine the significant variables affecting the income amount derived from eucalyptus woodlot. The results described the socioeconomic characteristics of households, and investigate the determinants of Eucalyptus woodlot income level. Age, family size, distance from the market, and household experience are the major factors that determine the income of households derived from Eucalyptus woodlot production. Household income derived from eucalyptus woodlot was negatively and significantly affected by the distance where their woodland was located from the market and their experience in planting Eucalyptus as the regression analysis showed. The result of this study suggests that technical manuals should be implemented to minimize its negative impacts on the environment to made the households better benefited from their Eucalyptus woodlot products and for sustainable production.

Qualitative and quantitative data were used from primary and secondary sources. A total of 150 randomly selected households were interviewed from Eucalyptus woodlot owners. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to determine the significant variables affecting the income amount derived from eucalyptus woodlot. The results described the socioeconomic characteristics of households, and investigate the determinants of Eucalyptus woodlot income level. Age, family size, distance from the market, and household experience are the major factors that determine the income of households derived from Eucalyptus woodlot production. Household income derived from eucalyptus woodlot was negatively and significantly affected by the distance where their woodland was located from the market and their experience in planting Eucalyptus as the regression analysis showed. The result of this study suggests that technical manuals should be implemented to minimize its negative impacts on the environment to made the households better benefited from their Eucalyptus woodlot products and for sustainable production.","PeriodicalId":277026,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Journal of Social and Environmental Issues (IJSEI)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115374468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the major plastic pollution problems is the understanding of the ideology underpinning their disposal. Consequently, this research aims at evaluating the factors that influence respondents’ decisions on managing their plastic waste and investigate respondents’ awareness of the health and safety issues associated with inappropriate plastic waste disposal. This research used a descriptive design. 360 individuals were randomly selected in three districts within the Cape Coast Metropolis. The data collection instrument was a structured questionnaire. The results showed that the influential factors listed according to the decreasing value of factor loading are the idea that municipal authorities’ inadequate collection of wastes, lack of education, notion that plastics are more durable than paper, the long distances of the individual to a dustbin, the lack of information on the alternatives to reduce plastic waste, the increased number of people living in the area, the high amount of plastic packaging, the lack of adequate information on proper methods to dispose of plastic waste, the attitudinal problems, the lack of infrastructure for recycling the plastic waste and the weak enforcement of existing bye-laws on sanitation. The factor loading values are 0.84, 0.82, 0.80, 0.72 ,0.71, 0.68, 0.67, 0.66, 0.64, 0.61, 0.58 respectively.
