  • Project description
    The overall objective of the project is to enhance sustainable management and conservation of tropical peatland to reduce emissions and to increase carbon stocking through the involvement of stakeholders and local community in the conservation and rehabilitation of degraded peatland in South Sumatra. The main activities include: - Regulate and restore water table; - Prevent peatland from fire; - Build coordination and consistency across government jurisdiction and sectors to control cross boundary impacts of fire by controlling its sources and spread; - Regulate further conversion of peatlands and revise and reinforce rules for management of existing peatlands plantation sites; - Implement land swaps where possible to retain high carbon value forest and peat while allocating alternative land for new plantation.
