Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The Village Forest in Pilang Village, Jabiren Raya Sub-district, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan covers an area of 8,583 hectares. The Village Forest is a social forestry scheme designed to enable local communities living near the forest to utilise it for the purpose of improving their welfare. Community service activities in Pilang Village were carried out in November 2025 with the aim of encouraging the people of Pilang Village to utilise their Village Forest for sustainable fish farming. The Village Forest can be utilised for fisheries activities using the silvofishery system, covering 30% of the total working area. The Village Forest is currently utilised primarily for plantation activities (palm oil and rubber), but fisheries activities have not yet been optimally implemented by the community of Pilang Village.
