inadequate localprovincial insight on the
function of biodiversity
biodiversity issue has not yet become the
main issue
insufficient political support
inadequate human capacity with
biodiversity issue recognition
lack of synergy of biodiversity programs
less-publicized biodiversity policy
the absence of monitoring and evaluation

lack of stakeholders participations. Indonesias Contribution to Progress
Towards Global Biodiversity Targets
Especially for Target 5 and Target 15
Taken from The Fifth National Report To The
Convention on Biological Diversity, 2014
Target 5
By 2020, the rat eof loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at
least halved and where feasible brought close to zero, and
degradation and fragmentation is significantly reduced. Goals
ConservationProtection Forest Rehabilitation
Establishment of City Forest
MangroveCoastal Forest Rehabilitation
Critical land rehabilitation
Achievements
Total realization from 2010- 2013 is 1.852.692 ha, with target by
2014 up to 2.5 million hectares
Target 15 By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon
stocks has been enhanced, through conservation and restoration, including
restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems, thereby contributing
to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to combating desertification.
Goal Conduct efforts for reducing GHG emission from deforestation, forest and peat-
land degradation REDD to minimize global warming impact on environmental
degradation. Achievements
Commitment of our government President Decree No. 62, 2013 to reduce GHG
emission of 26 through internal effort and 41 through international collaboration by
2020 from the condition without action plan. The issuance of 12 permits for companies to conduct forest ecosystem restoration,
among others Restoration Ecosystem Conservation IndonesiaREKI Harapan Forest,
through two decisions of Minister of Forestry No. 2932007, covering 52,170 ha forest in
South Sumatra Province, and 3272010, covering 46,385 ha in Jambi Province. Increase in implementing Forest Rehabilitation from year 2010 to 2013 170,414 ha in
2010, 556,671 ha in 2011 507,716 ha, in 2013
Increase in implementing Land Rehabilitation area from year 2010 to 2013 25,311 ha in
2010, 405,179 ha in 2011, 407,145 ha in 2012 and 558,412 ha in 2013. Increase in implementing Forest re-planting from year 2009 to 2013 113,042 ha in 2009,
100,738 ha in 2010, 100,743 ha in 2011, 100,987 in 2012, and 105,656 ha in 2013. Increase in implementing Mangrove forest, swamp and peat rehabilitation from year
2011 to 2013 10,401 ha in 2011, 10,590 ha in 2012, and 12,043 ha in 2013. Approaches to achieve of Target 5
By 2020, the rate of loss of all natural habitats, including forests, is at least halved and
where feasible brought close to zero, and degradation and fragmentation is
significantly reduced
1. Combating Illegal logging
Reduction of cases of environment and forestry matters
up to 20 of basis data 2014 in all provinces throughout
the country
Prevention and control to threat and disturbances
through socialization, patrol, law enforcement at 77
protected areas unit
Improvement of law enforcement actions, facilities,
human resources investigatorPPNS, Forest
guardPolhut, SPORC units, and local participation in law
enforcement. 2. Forest fire control and mitigation
10 reduction of forest and land fires, especially occurred in
Sumatera, Kalimantan dan Sulawesi this 10 of tolerant
limit of maximum forest fire areas, from 498.736 ha in 2014
to be 448.863 Ha in 2019. Aprroaches to achieve of Target 5 ..Continued
3. Forest Moratorium in support of reducing forest
conversion, so reduction of emissions. based on Presidential Instruction No. 102010, andthen after
some reviews, is continued through the issuance of
Presidential Instruction No. 82015. 4. Development of Forest Management Unit FMUKPH
This effort is to reduce unplanned deforestation and
managed to areas have no on site agencies, due to
concession permit end up, improve good governance for
forest management, effectivity, data and information
collection, which are expected to result that each forest site
is managed sustainably. For the year of 2015 to 2019, there will be establishment
of FMUKPH, consisting of 347 units of Production forest
182 units of protection forests, and 100 units of protected
areas non national park. Aprroaches to achieve of Target 15
By 2020, ecosystem resilience and the contribution of biodiversity to carbon stocks has been enhanced,
through conservation and restoration, including restoration of at least 15 per cent of degraded ecosystems,
thereby contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation and to combating desertification
1. Forest restoration plan
cid1 Restoration of peat forest lands up to 5 of known large areas
of Indonesian peat forest areas
cid1 Rehabilitation of 5,5 Million hectares of critical lands for the
importance of developed catchment areas
cid1 Development of plantation for city forests with the target 5.000
hectares
cid1 Restoration of 100.000 hectares of degraded lands of
conservation areas
cid1 Development 12,7 Million hectares of community forests,
village forests, indigenous forests, partnership forests
cid1 Development forest areas of 1.6 Million hectares through
partnership with private sectors
2. Quantity of carbon absorbed through restoration would be
measured through achievement of 21.7 reduced Green House
Gases GHG from sectors of forestry, peat lands, and waste. Its about implementation of Forest Moratorium
in relation to efforts of reducing emissions. 1. Under the newly President, through the issuance of Presidential Instruction
No. 82015, as extended previous his instructions on Postponement of the
issuance of new permit and Refinement of Governance of Primary Forest
and Peat Land, except for
a. b. c.
d. Request which has been principally agreed by Ministry of Environment and
Forestry
For the implementation of vitally national developments related to geothermal,
oil and gasses, electricity, and lands for paddy and sugar cane
Extension of permit of forest utilization which have been formally recognized
Ecosystem restoration. 2. Ministry of Environment and Forestry is instructed to
a. b. c. d. e. Continue to postpone the issuance of new permit to use primary forest and peat
lands in conservation forest, protected forest and production forest, based on the
map of Indication of New Permit Postponement. Continue the refinement of governance policy for some permits related to
exploitation of wood forest product in natural forests. Continue the improvement of management effectivity of ciritical lands
considering good governance of forest and peat lands, through ecosystem
restoration. Implement revisions to the Indicative map of New Permit Posponement on the
forest priodically every 6 months. Implement efforts of the reduction of carbon emission from forest and peatlands
through revised governance of proposed activities. 3. All Governors and Heads of DistrictsMunicipals are
instructed to
a. b. c.
d. Implement to postpone the issuance of recommendation and permit of
located forest and peatland and other lands, based on the Indication
Map of New Permit Postponement. The posponement is implemented two years since the date of
Presidential Instruction No. 82015 is issued May 13, 2015. The implementation of Inpres should be reported by Ministry of
Environment and Forestry to President every 6 months, or is anytime
urgently required. State Secretary implement monitoring the implementation of Inpres,
and this is then reported to President. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO? 1. Efforts are expected from private sectors in contributions to Target 5 and Target 15
are
For Target 5, by supporting the government, by respecting Presidential Instruction
No. 8 the year of 2015, and their cooperations in combating illegal logging,
preventing forest fires, and halting illegal hunting of wildlife. For Target 15, by implementing restoration actions to the areas which are outside
their concessions, either making partnership with local community, or with local
government, and or, with central government. 2. To contribute in the achievement of national climate mitigation targets, should do
following actions
Socialization of a moratorium commitment as President instruction No. 82015. Cooperation and partnerships in the implementation of forest restorations and
protections. Terima Kasih... Thank You.... ...
