Inspiring Fishing Communities to Implement Sustainable Fisheries Management in Marine Protected Areas in Indonesia
28-Mar-2011
|
+more
| abstract: | Social marketing training and campaigns will be implemented at 12 sites in Indonesia, through the government agencies responsible for management of priority marine protected areas. Each campaign will target a local population of about 20,000 people, and aim to change the behaviour of the fishing communities such that they understand the importance of no-take zones, respect them and support their enforcement. This will result in recovery of local fisheries and marine biodiversity and improve the management of about four million hectares of protected areas in Indonesia. Capacity of the local partners will be greatly strengthened so that they can sustain the campaigns and their impacts beyond the initial project. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | |
| area impacted: | To be determined. About 50 of Indonesia’s official marine protected areas are candidate sites, from which 12 will be chosen. |

Progressing toward Sustainable Conservation of the Leuser Ecosystem
08-Nov-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | The Leuser Ecosystem, situated near the northern tip of the island of Sumatra, is the largest conservation area in Southeast Asia, and arguably one of the richest in biological diversity. Its wide range of habitats, ranging from coastal beaches and lowland forests to alpine meadows, together with its large size (almost 3 million hectares) makes it the best hope of conserving such rare Sumatran species as the Sumatran rhino, orangutan, tiger and elephant. The Leuser Ecosystem is also the focus of a new approach for conservation in Indonesia, in which the management of a given part, which lies in Aceh (about 90% of the total), is the responsibility of the Government of Aceh; more specifically, a professionally staffed management authority known by its acronym BPKEL. This highly dedicated team of about 200 people has shown its effectiveness in reversing the forest destruction caused by illegal palm oil development, illegal logging, and inappropriate infrastructure. The Leuser Ecosystem is also a major carbon sink and has a mitigating impact on local climate. Enhancing this service, along with other environmental services such as natural beauty (for tourism) and fast flowing water (for run-of-river hydropower). This project aims to strengthen the management and financing of the Leuser Ecosystem while making its financing more sustainable. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | Strenghthen the capacity of the Leuser Ecosystem Management Authority to carry out its duties; Harmonise development plans with conservation strategies; Protect and restore the Leuser Ecosystem; Achieve Sustainable Financing |
| area impacted: | The Leuser Ecosystem is located near the northern tip of the island of Sumatra, in Indonesia. It is the largest conservation area in South East Asia. |

Replicating Success with Community-Based Forest Management in Indonesia
02-Nov-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | Social marketing training and campaigns will be implemented to expand community-based forest management at 15 sites in Indonesia, through government agencies and local community associations. Each campaign will target a local population of about 20,000 people, and aim to change the behaviour of the communities such that they understand the importance of sustainable forest management and support its implementation actively. This will result in the conservation and sustainable management of forest biodiversity and improve the management of about one million hectares of protected areas in Indonesia with direct community-led management of buffer zones. Capacity of the local partners will be greatly strengthened so that they can sustain the campaigns and their impacts beyond the initial project. |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | This project aims to: foster understanding of the importance of forest management; build an effective and replicabe community-involved approach to forest management through a clear co-management approach; and increase forest cover while reducing forest degradation and clearing by directly engaging local communities. |
| area impacted: | To be determined. About 50 of Indonesia’s official forest protected areas are candidate sites, from which 15 will be chosen. |

Promoting resiliency and sustainability, and protecting livelihoods in the Sulu Sulawesi Network of Protected Areas
27-Jul-2010
|
+more
| abstract: | This project will provide greater capacity at the local level to harmonise management interventions, develop effective communication strategies, and enable a broad spectrum of social and natural sciences research and monitoring activities in the Sulu Sulawesi Network of marine protected areas. The project will be strongly based on scientific and historic aspects of biodiversity encompassed within the Network of protected areas. At the same time, the strengthened capacity to effectively manage the protected areas, develop private-public partnerships to promote ecotourism, and carry out activities related to climate change adaptation and mitigation will safeguard livelihoods and culture across a wide geographical range. The project will design and adopt sustainable financing and business plans for the Network of protected areas, based on financing options that will consider payments for ecosystem services, such as business and biodiversity carbon offsets. |

| abstract: | Lying at the southern end of the Coral Triangle, the Lesser Sunda Ecoregion (LSE) stretches from Bali to Timor Leste, covering an area of more than 45 million hectares. Linking the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the LSE supports diverse and highly productive coral reef and pelagic habitats and is an important transition zone between Pacific and Indian faunas |
| benefits: | |
| objectives: | (1) strengthen the existing MPAs and MPA networks, (2) identify new areas for MPAs and (3) carry out coastal and marine spatial planning which align with conservation and sustainable use of resources. |

Adaptive and carbon-financed forest management in the Tropical Rainforest Heritage of Sumatra
21-Apr-2008
|
+more
| abstract: | The Tropical Rainforest Heritage of Sumatra (THRS) was inscribed in the World Heritage List in 2004. The site comprises three national parks (Gunung Leuser, Kerinci-Seblat and Bukit Barisan Selatan) and is of outstanding biological value, covering a forested area of over 2.5 million ha and offering the last refuge for globally threatened species including tigers, sumatran rhino, elephants and orang-utan. The constituent parks are surrounded by a mosaic of forested areas that double the total area of natural forest. These surrounding forests include a variety of different utilization purposes, have a high intrinsic value for biodiversity and create a buffer for the world heritage sites.
Despite the protected status, this globally important forest resource is under considerable threat. The extremely high pressure from direct threats is reducing the natural resilience of the forests to climate change. This project will take the globally important natural world heritage sites of Sumatra and pilot an approach to predict climate change impacts and incorporate adaptation into management plans. The project will also develop and pilot REDD schemes in buffer areas to mitigate climate change and to provide a mechanism to alleviate direct threats. |

Conservation and Restoration in Kalimantan/Borneo: Securing natural carbon sinks and habitats in the “Heart of Borneo”
21-Apr-2008
|
+more
| abstract: | Indonesia has one of the world’s highest deforestation rates. The project aims at long-term securing of forests in the central part of Borneo, the “Heart of Borneo”, in the vicinity of the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park and the forests along Leboyan river through a combination of various measures. These include an improved management and the cooperation with a commercial logging company in order to implement the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) guidelines. In close cooperation with local communities, i.a. in the reforestation of degraded areas, existing forest areas are to be linked again. |
