Rehabilitasi hutan dan lahan adalah upaya untuk memulihkan, mempertahankan dan meningkatkan fungsi hutan dan lahan dalam
mendukung penyangga kehidupan tetap terjaga. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi tingkat keberhasilan kegiatan RHL yang
dilaksanakan pada tahun 2019-2021 di Desa Butang, Kecamatan Mappak, Kabupaten Tana Toraja. Penilaian dilakukan dengan mengukur persentase pertumbuhan tanaman, tinggi tanaman, dan kondisi tanaman serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan kegiatan RHL. Metode yang digunakan meliputi petak ukur (plot), pengukuran lapangan, dan kuesioner terhadap masyarakat sekitar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase pertumbuhan tanaman mencapai 82,09% dari total 1000nbibit/ha yang ditanam, dengan tinggi tanaman berkisar antara 5,1-8,7 meter setelah tiga tahun. Seluruh tanaman yang diamati berada dalam kondisi sehat. Keberhasilan RHL di lokasi ini dipengaruhi oleh kondisi tanah, pemilihan jenis tanaman yang sesuai, iklim, teknik penanaman dan pemeliharaan, serta partisipasi aktif masyarakat. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, kegiatan RHL di Desa Butang dinyatakan berhasil.
Forest and land rehabilitation (FLR) is an effort to restore, maintain, and improve the functions of forests and lands in supporting lifesustaining systems. This study aims to evaluate the success rate of FLR activities implemented from 2019 to 2021 in Butang Village, Mappak Subdistrict, Tana Toraja Regency. The assessment was conducted by measuring plant growth percentage, plant height, and plant condition, as well as identifying factors that influence the success of FLR activities. The methods used included plot sampling, field measurements, and questionnaires distributed to the local community. The results showed that the plant growth rate reached 82.09% of the total 1,000 seedlings per hectare planted, with plant heights ranging from 5.1 to 8.7 meters after three years. All observed plants were in healthy condition. The success of FLR in this area was influenced by soil conditions, appropriate species selection, climate, planting and maintenance techniques, and active community participation. Based on these results, the FLR activities in Butang Village are considered successful.
