Peatland Management in Indonesia, Science to Policy and Knowledge Education

Peatland Management in
Indonesia: Science to policy and
Knowledge-Education to Action
Feri Johana and Peat IMPACTS Team

Province-level: Sustainable Peatland
Plan Mainstreamed into Development Plan

= Evidence-based Peatland
Management plans has been
developed for W Kalimantan and S
Sumatra provinces and the two
targeted districts. Inclusive scenario
development and informed ex-ante
impacts were produced using
LUMENS;
Province-level: Sustainable Peatland Plan mainstreamed into
Spatial and Development Plans
= The mainstreaming process:
1. designation of production and protection peat areas is
recognized in the spatial plan;
2. prioritization of several sustainable peatland
management programs in the development plan;
3. Peatland Ecosystem Quality Index as one of
indicators of sustainable development that has to be
monitored and evaluated periodically

= Maintain water

= Store carbon stocks
= Prevent fire
= Protect biodiversity
= Restoration of the

Projected Forest Cover and Estimated CO2 Emissions
The Existing Plan Scenario in the coming years may
increase forest cover, the RPPEG scenario can also
significantly increase forest cover, and in the long term
the RPPEG provides a consistently increasing trend.

RPPEG
In the short run Existing Plan can significantly
reduce GHG emission compared to BAU but it is
monotonously increasing over time, while the RPPEG
scenario results in decreasing emissions over time and
compared to BAU

● The main function of this area is for protection, but
some limited activities can still be conducted
● Land use recommendation based on the regulation;
1. research, scientific purposes, and education
(area inside the concession)
2. ecosystems services management, research,
scientific purposes, and education (area outside
the concessions)
Intervention Map
Protection Function of Peatland Ecosystem

Intervention Map
● Land use plan is directed toward land-based activities for
economics.
● Land allocation for both forest-based and non-forest-based
activities managed by private entities and communities
● Several land allocation remaining for conservation,
protection, and rehabilitation.
● In S Sumatra, the stakeholders agree and focuses on :
Community-Based Non-forest Use, and Corporate-Based
Forest Use.
Production Function of Peatland Ecosystem

Village-Level: Sustainable Peatland
Management

Sustainable Peatland Village
= Sustainable peatland management
requires commitment and cooperation
among stakeholders to implement the
intervention plan effectively, incl. farmers,
traders, and the village community
= The sustainable peatland
intervention/options developed through
a comprehensive diagnoses using ALLIR
= The cooperation among stakeholders is
formalized through peat livelihood
agreements and further developed into a
joint business model development

Business
Model for
Agro-
silvopasture at
Peatland’s
Village
= Twelve peat livelihood agreements have been established to support business
models
= Three district WGs at the district has been established to support the
implementation of the agreement
It is covers :
● production to
market function
● Identification of
enabling factor,
supporting
function, and the
institution
involved

Innovative Financing for Peatland
Management

Improving The
Capacity of Peatland
Financing Scheme
1. Awareness raising for key stakeholders at the district level
to identify scheme of relevant innovative financing
schemes;
2. Initiate and develop framework of Corporate
Social Environment Responsibility (CSER) as one of
innovative financing for sustainable peatland management.
3. Strengthening the institution for implementing the CSER for
Peatland
The Achievement :
1. Regulation on CSER that integrated peatland management
(Perbup 19/2023 and Perbup 20/2023) –Kubu Raya District
2. Action Plan of CSER Forum for 2024-2029 that integrate
peatland management action – OKI District

Peatland Management Knowledge
Sharing and Education

Peatland Education and Knowledge Sharing
= Knowledge management system for peat ecosystem management called WikiGambut has been
produced https://wikigambut.id/
= Local curricula on peat management was endorsed by heads of 3 districts and been used in
more than 1530 primary schools;
= More than 200 young graduates (males and females) participated in the incubation programs in
the two provinces
= Sustainable peat management requires awareness, knowledge, and commitment across
sectors, actors and generations, so reaching out diverse, targeted audience is necessary;
= We inniated three measured: peat curricula in primary school education, Wiki for Peat,
Youth Incubation for Peat Management.

Wiki Platform
A Participatory Approach for
Knowledge Management System
WikiGambut
(https://wikigambut.id)
or Peat IMPACTS
facilitates WikiPeat to
compile, synthesize
knowledge and
information about peat
ecosystems and its
management written by
multiple contributors for

Peat Education Curricula
for Primary School
The curricula covers peat
ecosystem and hydrological aspect of peatland,
human activity on the peat ecosystem, and many
activities for maintaining dan restoring degraded
peatlands;
The peat environmental education curriculum which
has local content (mulok), was successfully
implemented in 1530 state primary schools in three
districts: Kubu Raya in West Kalimantan province,
Ogan Komering Ilir (OKI), and Banyuasin in South
Sumatera province.
To support learning process, a children's storybook
"Ranti Mencari gambut" was created. Peat
IMPACTS organized story-telling competitions for
teachers and read-aloud competitions for students.

Incubation for
Young Researcher
of Peatland
= The capacity-building program for the youth of South
Sumatra and West Kalimantan was being conducted
by Peat-IMPACTS to groom young leaders who care
about peatlands and take action toward sustainable
peatland.
= This program invites young female and male university
graduates to participate in a series of activities to find
new knowledge and explore intervention options for
peatland management.

= The integration of peatland plan to development plan in West
Kalimantan and South Sumatera demonstrates Indonesia's
commitment to sustainable development, linking local initiatives
with global climate goals by reducing GHG emissions;
= Sustainable peatland management plan in these regions enhances
regional environmental governance and aligns it with national
policies and international conventions on biodiversity conservation
and climate change mitigation;
= Improved livelihoods supported by viable business model in the
peatland shows a sustainable model in bridging local economic
needs with sustainable peatland conservation efforts;
= The innovative financing schemes provided a model for sustainable
funding mechanisms that can be replicated nationally and globally;
= The education and public participation in peatland knowledge
create a strong foundation for broader societal stewardship, linking
local educational programs with global initiatives, thus fostering a
globally connected community of practice.
Lessons
learned from
Peat-IMPACTS
Indonesia

= Upscaling and cross-scaling
needs policy guidance;
= Systematic documentation of
successes and failures across projects
and programs can minimize risks and
optimize investment;
= No one-size-fits all formula, so
typology for identifying extrapolation
domains are important;
= Catalyzing funding through blended
finance is imperative perhaps through
carbon and biodiversity credits and
PES;
Suggestions for future works in Tropical Peatland
= Science and evidence-based
planning are needed to prioritize
programs, monitor and evaluation;
= Long-term demonstration plots
speed up adoption - systematic
establishment will induce wider
community of practices;
= Partnerships between public-
private are imperative;
= Education for Climate action
needs more investment
