Forest Program Director – TNC Indonesia

REDD Implementation in Berau:

Berau Forest Carbon Project / BFCPAn Indonesian REDD Demonstration Activity

TNC’s Global Climate Program

• starting in 1995 with Noel Kempff project in Bolivia • evolved to various carbon projects under different schemesreforestation (Bayou Pierre and Tensas River Basin, Lousiana)conservation, sfm, community (Berau-Indonesia, Adelberts-PNG, Rio Bravo-Belize)

sustainable forest management (Garcia River Forest-California)reforestation, community (Tengchong-Yunan/Cina andGuaraquecaba-Brasil)

REDD in Indonesia

4 Demonstration Activities launched by the government in Jan 2010

Berau Forest Carbon Program

BFCP ~ why Berau?

• High forest cover; high threat

• High biodiversity

• Strong support from local stakeholders, particularly local government

• Strong program to build on

Large sub-national Program

• Integration across scales and sectors

• Landscape approach – better monitoring, less leakage

• Support from decentralized government

• Probably all that is feasible

• Could be a good example / test case for national implementation

Total Area ~ 2.2 millions ha

780,000 ha 13 Timber concessions

189,000 ha 32 Oil palm concessions

185,000 ha 27 Mining concessions

229,000 ha 3 Timber plantation

361,000 ha 7 Protected forests

456,000 ha Others

• Oil palm concessions cover about 9% of Berau District

• 44% of the concession areas have undisturbed, high-density, or medium density forest

• Emission from conversion would be 590 tons per ha

BFCP ~ grand strategy

• Reduced emission from DEFORESTATION:Forested areas outside state forest areas

• Reduced emission from FOREST DEGRADATION:

Improved management of production forest and plantation forest will reduce forest degradation

• Timber plantation concessions cover about 10% of Berau

• Ca. half of the concession areas have undisturbed, high-density,

or medium density forest

• Emission from conversion would be 500+ tons per ha

Need substational funding• Up-front financing is critical

• Mix of public/private sources

BFCP ~ MAIN CHALLENGES !!!

1.

2. Clear and sound institutional and legal framework

3. Clear and sound financing mechanism

4. Where is community?
