PROMOTING PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE FOR FOOD AND WATER SUSTAINABILITY IN INDONESIA

Bengkulu, 4th of May 2013

Objective

Bring together new aspects of landscape

approach for sustainable natural resources.

INTRODUCTION

1. As we are confronted with large scale development and increasing competitive demand for food, feed, fiber and fuel, a new approach is needed to avoid environmental degradation and natural disaster.

2. Principles and Guideline on Forest Landscape Restoration – National Working Group on Landscape Restoration in Indonesia

3. Case study and review of current discourses; development – economic growth, reducing fuel consumption, and ‘moratorium of new permits’ on forests use.

FLR – Forest landscape restoration

Definition: A geographical entity consisting of an interrelated land use mosaic(s) where energy, materials, organisms and institutions combine to give ecological, social-economical and cultural benefits. Practical definition: Combined intervention in a given landscape to promote productivity for the benefit of primary stakeholders.

PRINCIPLES (1-5)

1. The interests of all actors especially the inhabitants of the landscape must be assured

2. Stakeholder platforms are needed to enable governmental, private sector and civil society representatives to negotiate and take decisions at landscape scales

3. Manage in an adaptive experimental framework and manage for change

4. Manage the entire mosaic not just the pieces 5. Ensure economic efficiency and financial viability

PRINCIPLES (6-10)

6. The integrity and resilience of ecological system within the landscape will be essential components of the landscape approach

7. Environmental, societal, technological and economic change will present new opportunities and challenges at landscape scales

8. The capacity of institutions operating within the landscape will need to be strengthened

9. Appropriate legal and policy frameworks must be in place to enable landscape scale interventions

10. Commitment to implementation and enforcement.

RECOMMENDATION

• Protection of the remaining ‘undisturbed forests’ are a must, given the fact that they are now below the acceptable legal threshold of 30% (Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, except for Papua).

• Review the ‘moratorium map’ thoroughly and based on the understanding of forest status, functions and roles.

• For Ministry of Forestry – to implement REDD+; it is easier to deal with existing concessionaires located on undisturbed forest for ‘not to operate’ and compensate with the REDD+ funds. Easier in term of evaluating the emission gap based on trajectory between without and with moratorium.
