Dynamics and Trajectories of Rubber Agroforestin BungoDistrict, Jambi: Assessment for the Potentials of Eco-certification

The high pressure of land use change that has occurred in Sumatera, Indonesia, reduces forest cover. However, various land uses that replace forest are considered to be able to preserve some of forest ecological functions. Rubber agroforest, a traditional extensive rubber cultivation system,has the capacity to support species diversity in an impoverished landscape currently dominated by monoculture plantation (Figure 1).Currently, ICRAF conducts a study to observe the dynamics and trajectories of rubber agroforestin BungoDistrict, Jambi over time and space using remote sensing data and spatial analysis. The outputs are expected to contribute to the discussions towards rubber eco-certification in Jambi Province.
