Challenges
• Some stakeholders hold negative view on all peatland development (due to
perceived carbon emissions liabilities) but this position ignores the
scientific basis for benefits of responsible forest management.
• Internationally, intensive plantation forest management in Indonesia still
suffers from poor reputation, while the sector itself is not fully recognized
as a means of sustainable development and Carbon emissions avoidance.
Opportunities
Responsible Peatland Management can deliver:
• Significant Social, Environmental and Economic benefits
• I tegrated
a age e t i support of peat Do e
o ser atio
• Positive image of Indonesia in addressing climate change
• Win-win solution based on Sustainable Development and REDD+

APRIL’s “cie ce Based Management Support Project
• Independent team from Delft Hydraulics and world-leading
peatland, conservation and emissions experts
• US$ 1 Million; 3 year program, 2006-2009.
• Eco-Hydrological and HCVF spatial planning to optimise
plantations and minimise impact on conservation forests
• Develop SOPs for Responsible Peatland Management

Planning Guidelines for Peat Landscapes
• Key objective is to protect the important hydrology core
water source from external impacts by a narrow hydro
buffer and a wider pla tatio ri g that ha e well
managed water tables
• Peat Swamp Forest can be conserved only where its
wet condition is maintained. Landscape planning must
define how central core and all designated Conservation
areas will be protected from plantation drainage
impacts, including dealing with the ineviatable
subsidence of drained plantation lands
• Limit drainage impacts on conservation ideally by
conserving whole catchment areas, develop others:
minimum fragmentation (eco-hydrology principles)
• Plantation landscape water management is designed to
minimize subsidence & GHG emissions and maximize
lifespan of productive plantations.

Eco-Hydrology Planning and Peatland Profile
• Central Dome or og plai porous /lo de sity peat, must conserve as water
source (upstream, deep peat).
• Mid-slopes with adequate peat density: hydro buffer to prevent drainage
impacts on the upslope central conservation core and Dome.
• Mid-lower slopes with adequate topographic gradient / peat porosity: acacia
plantation ring under best practice water management
• Lowest elevation riparian and seasonal flood plain: conserve high biodiversity

•
The i depe de t tea supports AP‘IL s o
it e t to a age e t of
peatlands through the SBMS Project for Sustainable Peatland Management.
•
Forests and carbon sinks in peatland can only be sustainably managed if the
hydrological system is protected or rehabilitated. This is of importance for
conservation, and also vital for long-term economic production on peatland.
•
Degraded land contains low conservation value and is of marginal potential
for agriculture, but holds huge carbon deposits. Such land needs to be
properly managed to minimize forest loss, land fires & carbon emissions.
•
A new approach must be developed through the establishment of buffer
zones and water control infrastructure (to balance water requirements,
maximise production and minimise impact on intrinsic or adjacent
conservation landscapes).

The Forests Dialogue 2009:
Co-Benefits of Managed Forests
• Consensus position of 200 of the
worlds forestry stakeholders
(Govt, Private, NGO, Community)
• Forests have a unique ability to
simultaneously reduce
greenhouse gas emissions,
capture carbon, & reduce the
vulnerability of people and
ecosystems to climate change.
• Sustainably managed forests
support livelihoods of millions of
rural people and deliver products,
ecosystem services and
biodiversity protection.
Potential Co-Benefits of Indonesian
Plantation Forestry
If Indonesian develops additional
9M Ha land (15% of production
forest) into HTI, Mosaic Plantation
Concept will result in:
– 2.1M Ha protected natural forest in
conservation areas
– 2.3M Ha land managed by villagers
for social development
– 4.6M Ha plantations
– 161M m3 of sustainable fiber/yr for
world market.
– 38 M Adt pulp production
Total carbon impact: net reduced emissions of 150 Mt CO2/year
Forestry as a Climate Change Solution

I the lo g ter , a sustainable forest management
strategy aimed at maintaining or increasing forest carbon
stocks, while producing an annual sustained yield of timber,

SUMMARY
• A new science-based approach must be developed through the
establishment of buffer zones and water control infrastructure (to balance
water requirements, maximise production and minimise impact on intrinsic
or adjacent conservation landscapes). [Source SBMSP Project 2009].
• Sustainable Plantation Ring Management in Kampar is essential for
protecting the Kampar Peninsula Core peatland, reducing carbon emissions
by 50% (compared to present condition, reducing from 6 to 3 Million Tons
CO2/year) and achieving balanced social, environmental and economic
benefits in a Sustainable Development context
• Sustainable Peatland Management in Kampar Ring can become the model
for Government to showcase during COP XV UNFCCC summit , ith a WinWi solutio hi h i tegrates the atio al de elop e t a d li ate
