• Project description
  The goal of the project is to reduce peat drainage and raise the groundwater level in the project area through the construction of dams based on a thorough hydrological analysis of the area accompanied by ongoing measurements of hydrological parameters in the watersheds. As a result of hydrological restoration, significant emissions of CO2 from peatlands in the project area will be prevented. As well, the raising of the groundwater level will increase the natural buffering capacity of peat forests minimizing the risk of both forest fires and floods. The conservation of the peat swamp forest will also help to restore the peatland ecosystem and reduce poverty of several thousand families which depend directly and indirectly on the sustainable use of peatland resources in the project area. Additional activities implemented by WWF will further enhance livelihoods with income generating measures such as fish farming in the reservoir areas created by dams, afforestation with indigenous tropical species of commercial value, development of non-timber forest products such as rattan, handicraft materials, eco-tourism, other environmental services, fishery and sustainable farming.
