farming, and in the political community, whereas women undertake the domestic activities which take more time but are less appreciated. However, through PHBM,
equity in gender roles has been increased by involving women in the forest conservation activities since they have the best local knowledge and depend on the forest for daily
subsistence.
Despite its sufficient infrastructure support, Rakitan Village is located relatively far from the potential markets. Therefore, the possibility of an excess of NTFP
products should be anticipated by inventing suitable post-harvesting treatments and fruit preservation technology as the alternative way to market variety products, in
addition to developing potential future markets.
I realize that the implementation of PHBM, in practice, may not satisfy every party involved, as many weaknesses still exist; from the unwillingness to equitably
share the land, roles and benefits to the unsupportive actions by local communities and stakeholders as well as some of Perhutani’s personnel. However the initial step,
conserving Gunung Lasem protected forest involving Rakitan Village community through PHBM is worthy of credit and support.
