II. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION II.1. Sandalwood Management Policy in the Decentralization
Through the Law No. 22 of 1999 on Regional Government, the regulation of forestry affairs handed over to the district. Furthermore, the province of East Nusa
Tenggara hand over the management of the affairs of sandalwood to the district of South Central East Regional Regulation of East Nusa Tenggara Province No. 2 of 1999 on
decentralized management of sandalwood. Referring to this rule, then the district of South Central Timor regency responds with Regulation number 25 South Central Timor in 2001.
This period represents a new chapter for the district of South Central Timor because they were given the authority to manage their own resources of sandalwood.
Following up regulation No.252001, then issued two more regulation are: 1 East South Central District Decree No. 8 of 2002 on the basis of pricing sandalwood sale in
South Central Timor regency; 2 South Central decree number 12 of 2005 on the mechanisms and systems sandalwood harvesting on private land. Judging from the
aspect of actually publishing the preservation of the above two rules are counter- productive to conservation efforts sandalwood because both rules were legalized again
sandalwood exploitation, when it should be maintained at the present level of population sandalwood from becoming extinct, especially when referring to the instructions
Governor East Nusa Tenggara Province No. 12 of 1997 on the prohibition of felling sandalwood trees.
II.2. Conditions Sandalwood Management
South Central Timor is an area at least have the prospect of sandalwood plants because this area is a habitat sandalwood tree, which is different from the other counties
in the province of East Nusa Tenggara ENT. To determine the condition of conservation of the sandalwood tree at the South Central Timor regency, the author outlines a number
of issues related to conservation, namely work group organizational structure; sandalwood population distribution; number of seedlings alive; conservation budget, and
contribution of sandalwood to the revenue at South Central Timor regency, following description:
a. Conservation Working Group Organizational Structure
The organizational structure of sandalwood tree conservation working group consisting of: 1 steering Team is chaired by Regent South Central Timor regency, vice
chairman of the steering committee, and three members: 2 chairman of the working group chaired by the head of the forestry department of South Central Timor regency;
assisted by vice chairman,. secretary, treasurer, and two members; 3 chairman of the planting and maintenance section is chaired by the head of the forestry department of
community forestry section of South Central Timor regency assisted by six members; 4 chairman of the general section and fixtures, chaired by the head of the administration
department of forestry of South Central Timor regency assisted by 4 members.
b. Population distribution sandalwood
Of the 21 districts in South Central Timor regency there are 5 districts that have a sandalwood tree is the most populated; district of Mollo Utara, Mollo Selatan, Amanuban
Timur, Batu Putih, and the Amanuban Tengah. Learn more about spreading can be seen in Table 2

Based on the table above, the rate of population sandalwood tree in South Central Timor regency, the population is low and uneven spreading again in each district, only a
few districts that potential still survive. c. Number of saplings seedlings living
The location of planting in five districts, during the years 2001 to 2005, the number of seedlings saplings was 52,875 while that survive to age 2 years and above only 5850
trees or about 11.06. For more detailed planting success rate in five districts can be seen in table 3

Based on the table 3 above shows the success of the sandalwood tree saplings grow into very tiny stand. When compared with other crops, the crop is much smaller
sandalwood growing success. d. Budget Allocation For Conservation
In 2007 the allocation of funds budgeted for achieving conservation Rp.223.846.000 sourced from South Central Timor district budget and the budget of East
Nusa Tenggara province. Distribution of conservation funding allocation based on location can be seen in table 4

Based on the table above shows that the budget provided in order to attempt pelestrian sandalwood tree at the South Central Timor regency relatively small. This
condition can certainly hinder the success of conservation activities. e. Contribution to regional revenue
Sandalwood ever make a significant contribution to revenue PAD South Central Timor regency, which reached 15.44 or Rp.797.000.000, - that in the year 19971998.
But at this time there is no contribution given that the current level of sandalwood smaller population and the efforts to maintain the stand until they are over 30 years old.
