http://118754.2bdvi7ajx.asia/index.php/wallacea <p><strong>Jurnal Penelitian Kehutanan Wallacea</strong> was found in 2012. Initially, this journal was a regular scientifically reviewed printed journal focusing on forestry sciences and managed by the Environmental and Forestry Research and Development Institute, Makassar, Indonesia. Online submissions started in November 2015 and are then published periodically biannually in March and August on the eJournal platform. Since 2023, this journal has been managed by the Forest Conservation Study Program, <a href="https://forestry.unhas.ac.id/en/home/"><strong>Faculty of Forestry, Hasanuddin University</strong></a>, and the focus of the study is adjusted to the Conservation of Biological Resources. We are particularly interested in conservation issues in the biogeographical region of Wallacea, but related conservation issues from other parts of the world are also welcome.</p> <p><strong>ISSN </strong> : <strong><a href="https://issn.brin.go.id/terbit/detail/1346200374">2302-299X</a>,</strong> eISSN <strong><a href="https://issn.brin.go.id/terbit/detail/1419811836">2407-7860</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Publisher: <a href="https://forestry.unhas.ac.id/en/home/">Forestry Faculty of Hasanuddin University</a></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Aims and Scope</strong></p> <p><strong>Jurnal Penelitian Kehutanan Wallacea focuses on issues of conservation of biological resources, including sustainable management of biological resources, social aspects, and policies in conservation. </strong>We are particularly interested in conservation issues in the <strong>biogeographical region of Wallacea</strong>, but strongly related conservation issues from other parts of the world are also welcome.</p> <p>Wallacea is a strategic biogeographical region located between two continents, Asia and Australia, so the biodiversity in this region is extremely unique and specific, characterized by a high level of endemism. However, on the other hand, the conservation of biological resources in this region is under threat from overcrowding and an increasing population. Various approaches need to be continuously pursued in the context of managing existing biological resources to ensure their sustainable availability for the welfare of the people in this region.</p> <p><strong>Journal Accreditation</strong></p> <p>Currently, <strong>Jurnal Penelitian Kehutanan Wallacea </strong>has been accepted for indexing and coverage by <a title="Scopus Index" href="https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/21101207443" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Scopus</strong></a>.

This species is endemic to Sulawesi Island, where its spread is restricted to specific habitat types in the southern part of the island. The high quality of the wood has exposed this species to high levels of illegal logging and is endangered. However, in the last two decades, the threat of logging to this tree species has ceased to occur. Through field surveys and interviewing of respondents in 6 small FGDs, this study aims to determine the factors behind the cessation of illegal logging activities. We found that this species has good regeneration ability and identified 3 leading causes of stopping illegal logging of <em>H. celebica</em>: restricting its habitat to the Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park, the change in cultural interest from building houses on stilts to concrete houses, and the shift in the lifestyle of young generation who are no longer interested in working as woodcutters. Thus, the cessation of illegal logging of <em>H. celebica</em> is not due to the correct public perception of the importance of conserving <em>H. celebica</em> to increase its population so that it can be used sustainably in the future. The Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park still needs to make people aware of the importance of <em>H. celebica</em> conservation.</p> Putu Oka Ngakan Nasri Nasri Putu Supadma Putra Fardi Ali Syahdar Arif Koesharyadi Copyright (c) 2024 Jurnal Penelitian Kehutanan Wallacea 2024-10-23 2024-10-23 13 2 1 12 10.24259/jpkwallacea.v13i2.37315
