Through five social forestry schemes, communities have begun developing a diverse range of forest products. The most common sustainable forest products managed by Social Forestry Business Groups (KUPS) are non-timber forest products (NTFPs), timber forest products (TFPs), and environmental services. According to data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), among environmental services, ecotourism is the most popular form of forest management (349 KUPS).
Malang Regency and Malang City, East Java, have the highest number of ecotourism forest management KUPS (96 KUPS). This is followed by Tuban, Batang, Karangasem, and Jembrana as the top five regencies/cities with the most ecotourism KUPS. Meanwhile, West Lampung, Boyolali, Sukabumi, Kulon Progo, and Blitar are the five regencies/cities with the fewest ecotourism KUPS.
