This study aims to estimate the economic value of the Trokon River in Rejang Lebong Regency as a natural resource with both ecotourism potential and essential ecological functions. The research applies the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) using a Willingness to Pay (WTP) approach to determine how much visitors and local residents are willing to contribute to the conservation of the river. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents, consisting of tourists and local community members. The results show that the average WTP is IDR 12,000 per visit, with a total estimated economic value of IDR 60,000,000 per year. Significant factors influencing WTP include income level, frequency of visits, and environmental awareness. These findings indicate that the Trokon River holds considerable economic value that should be integrated into community-based conservation management. The study recommends implementing a voluntary conservation fee system and strengthening local institutions to support sustainable management.

Land degradation due to intensive agricultural practices is a serious issue threatening food security and ecosystem balance. Monoculture farming systems often lead to soil fertility decline, increased erosion, and reduced soil biodiversity. As an alternative, agroforestry has been developed to enhance agricultural productivity without compromising soil health. Agroforestry integrates agricultural crops with trees or other woody plants in a mutually beneficial system. Several studies have shown that agroforestry improves soil organic matter content, retains soil moisture, and reduces erosion and nutrient loss. This study employs a literature review method to analyze the effectiveness of agroforestry in improving soil health and agricultural productivity. Agroforestry has been found to enhance agricultural productivity through crop diversification, efficient land use, and climate change mitigation. Diversification not only strengthens food security but also increases farmers’ income by minimizing crop failure risks and enhancing nutritional value. Additionally, agroforestry optimizes land use by improving yield per unit area and reducing environmental degradation through natural resource conservation. Agroforestry also plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change by increasing ecosystem resilience, sequestering carbon, and reducing extreme weather impacts. However, the adoption of agroforestry faces challenges, including a lack of farmers’ knowledge, limited policy support, and varying environmental conditions. Addressing these barriers through improved education, supportive policies, and sustainable resource management can accelerate agroforestry adoption. With broader implementation and strong policy support, agroforestry can drive agricultural sustainability and enhance community well-being.

This study aims to analyze the level of attack by Macaca hecki on cultivated plants in Makarti Jaya Village, Pohuwato, Gorontalo. Agriculture is the main source of income for the local community, but the presence of Macaca hecki can threaten agricultural yields. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, with data collected through direct observation and interviews with farmers experiencing the attacks.
