Harowu Village, located in the upper reaches of the Kahayan River within the Mirimanasa Subdistrict, officially oversees a state-granted area of 1,750 hectares. The conservation of the forest in this region is of utmost importance due to its significant influence on the Kahayan watershed. Instiper Yogyakarta, a forestry educational institution, has initiated programs to educate the local community about the importance of alternative income sources and environmental services. Utilizing the Forest Inventory methodology created by USAID LESTARI in 2018 and coordinated by Michigan State University, the study involved analyzing 10 plots with a sampling intensity of 0.221. The Harowu Forest is identified as a major carbon sink, sequestering 626.957,75 tons of carbon in the area. The forest is home to 25 tree species and features a Menhenick Index of 1.57, Margalef Index of 4.34, Shannon Index of 2.98, Simpson index of 0.974, and an evenness value of 0.93. These findings highlight potential opportunities for collaboration between Harowu and Instiper Yogyakarta to promote forest conservation and improve community welfare.
