Rangan Hiran Village, located in the upper reaches of the Kahayan River within the Mirimanasa Subdistrict, encompasses an officially designated area of 875 hectares assigned by the state. The necessity of conserving the forest in this region arises from the significant effects of community initiatives on the Kahayan watershed. Instiper Yogyakarta, a forestry educational institution, has launched a program to educate the community about the inherent value of ecosystem services, potential alternative sources of income, and the benefits they offer. The research methodology employed utilizes the Forest Inventory and Analysis Plus (FIA+) method, which was developed by USAID LESTARI in 2018 and is overseen by Michigan State University, USA. An analysis of 10 plots with a sampling intensity of 0.221% indicates a healthy state of the current forest. The carbon stock contributed by Rangan Hiran Forest amounts to 243,998.57 tons and consists of 40 different tree species. Ecologically, the forest exhibits a Menhenick Index of 2.58, a Margalef Index of 7.11, a Shannon Index of 3.43, a Simpson Index of 0.96, and an evenness value of 0.93. These identified potentials create opportunities for collaborative efforts between Rangan Hiran and Instiper Yogyakarta, concentrating on initiatives for forest conservation and the improvement of community well-being.
