    AFB/PPRC.26.a-26.b/4 20 April 2020 Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee PROPOSAL FOR INDONESIA (3) AFB/PPRC.26.a-26.b/4 Background 1. The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully- developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval. 2. The Templates approved by the Board (Annex 5 of the OPG, as amended in March 2016) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states: For regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process.

  • Restoration Planning of Degraded Tropical Forests for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
    Restoration planning of degraded tropical forests for biodiversity and ecosystem services Sugeng Budiharta Bachelor of Forestry Master of Science in Conservation Biology A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in January 2016 School of Biological Sciences Abstract Forest restoration has the potential to mitigate the impact of deforestation and forest degradation. Various global policies have been sought to put restoration into the mainstream agenda including under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the program for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+). The Aichi Target of the CBD set a target for at least 15% of degraded ecosystems to be restored by 2020 for key goals including biodiversity conservation, carbon enhancement and the provision of livelihoods. A theoretical framework to underpin decision- making for landscape-scale restoration has been slow to emerge, resulting in a limited contribution from science towards achieving such policy targets. My thesis develops decision frameworks to guide the restoration of degraded tropical forests to enhance biodiversity and the delivery of ecosystem services. In this thesis, three critical questions on how to make better decisions for landscape-scale restoration are addressed by: (a) considering landscape heterogeneity in terms of degradation condition, restoration action and cost, and temporally-explicit restoration benefits; (b) leveraging restoration within competing land uses using emerging policy for offsetting; and (c) enhancing feasibility by accounting for the social and political dimensions related to restoration. I use Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) as a case study area, as it represents a region that is globally important in terms of biodiversity and carbon storage.

  • Amsterdam Zoolog- Ical Laboratory Has Carefully Revised the List of Reptiles and I Am Grateful for the Accuracy with Which He Has Accomplished His Task
    ON THE ZOOGEOGRAPHY OF JAVA. By Dr. K. W. DAMMERMAN (Buitenzorg Museum) In a paper read before the Third Netherlands-lndian Science Congress, held at Buitenzorg in 1924, the author expounded his views on the zoogeo- graphical relations of the Java fauna to those of the surrounding countries. These views were based upon lists of all vertebratesand the molluscs of Java, with their distribution, which lists, however, were not published with the paper that appeared in the Proceedings of the said congress(lQ2s). In the meantime I found a niimber of specialists willing to revise the various lists or to draw up entirely new ones, so I thought it desirable to publish these lists (see hereafter), which, I presunie, will prove to be a great help to future workers. Although the data now at our disposal are far more complete and exact, the results arrived at in the following pages are not materially differing from those already put down in my previous paper, written in dutch. The list of the mammals has been composed by the autlior himself Mr. BARTELS Jr., a student at the Bern university, made an entirely new list of the birds, based mainly upon the fine and almoït complete collection of Java birds made by his father, Mr. M. BARTELS Sr. He could secure the valuable aid of Mr. STRESEMANN of the Berlin Museum and the result of their coöperation is published separately in the next paper of this volume. The distribution of the Java birds, as entered in the list appended to the present paper, has been compiled by the author with the assistance of Mr.

  • Changing a Hindu Temple Into the Indrapuri Mosque in Aceh: the Beginning of Islamisation in Indonesia – a Vernacular Architectural Context
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Islamic Heritage Architecture and Art (IHA 2016) www.witconferences.com Changing a Hindu temple into the Indrapuri Mosque in Aceh: the beginning of Islamisation in Indonesia – a vernacular architectural context Alfan1 , D. Beynon1 & F. Marcello2 1Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment, Deakin University, Australia 2Faculty of Health Arts and Design, Swinburne University, Australia Abstract This paper elucidates on the process of Islamisation in relation to vernacular architecture in Indonesia, from its beginning in Indonesia’s westernmost province of Aceh, analysing this process of Islamisation from two different perspectives. First, it reviews the human as the receiver of Islamic thought. Second, it discusses the importance of the building (mosque or Mushalla) as a human praying place that is influential in conducting Islamic thought and identity both politically and culturally. This paper provides evidence for the role of architecture in the process of Islamisation, by beginning with the functional shift of a Hindu temple located in Aceh and its conversion into the Indrapuri Mosque. The paper argues that the shape of the Indrapuri Mosque was critical to the process of Islamisation, being the compositional basis of several mosques in other areas of Indonesia as Islam developed. As a result, starting from Aceh but spreading throughout Indonesia, particularly to its Eastern parts, Indonesia’s vernacular architecture was developed by combining local identity with Islamic concepts. Keywords: mosque, vernacular architecture, human, Islamic identity, Islamisation.

Corresponding author: I. G. Yudha, [email protected] Abstract. This study was conducted in April 2013 to March 2014 at Tulang Bawang River and Bawang Latak Swamp, Lampung, Indonesia. The aims of this study were to asses some reproductive aspects of L. ocellatus. The specimens were consisted of 690 males and 651 females. The results showed that sex ratio of L. ocellatus was 1:1 during the spawning period in October-January. This species was total spawner and they spawned annually in rainy season. The peak of breeding season was occured in November to December. The total length at first maturity of L. ocellatus are 157±1 mm (male) and 160 ±1 mm (female). The fecundity varied between 2.142-24.294 and had corellation with total length in equation as log F = 3,653 log L - 4,546 (Tulang Bawang River) and log F = 3,982 log L - 5,287 (Bawang Latak Swamp). Key Words: L. ocellatus, reproduction, GSI, fecundity, spawning period. Introduction. Labiobarbus ocellatus (Heckel, 1843) is a benthopelagic tropical freshwaters fish belonging to Cyprinidae family (Kottelat et al 1993; Roberts 1993; Froese & Pauly 2014), native to Peninsular Malaysia and the Greater Sunda Islands of Sumatra and Borneo (Weber & de Beaufort 1916; Kottelat et al 1993), also known as Bornean eye-spot silver shark in ornamental fish trading.

ABSTRACT Indonesia has a very high diversity of sharks and rays that can be found in freshwater and all the way into the deep sea. Some elasmobranchs are considered as endemic species which occur in restricted areas. Comprehensive studies and reviews on the diversity of elasmobranchs in Indonesia have been conducted since 2001 and have resulted in many findings, both of new species and new records. At least 25 species of sharks and rays are known to exist in restricted areas throughout Indonesia. The majority of them are coastal species, the rest are made up of freshwater and deepwater species. Information on the occurrence, distribution and conservation status of some rare and endemic elasmobranchs is provided in this paper. The Bali catshark (Atelomycterus baliensis), spear tooth shark (Glyphis sp.), the giant freshwater ray (Himantura polylepis) and the freshwater ray (Himantura signifer) are just some examples of coastal and freshwater elasmobranchs that are vulnerable to extinction in nature due to anthropogenic and uncontrolled fishing activities.

  • Part 3 SELECTION of the PRIORITY PORTS 5. PRELIMINARY STUDY
    Part 3 SELECTION OF THE PRIORITY PORTS 5. PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK Chapter 2 describes recent events in Indonesia. Given the high level of political and economic uncertainty and global problems, forecasting the future macro situation is obviously open to some difficulty. Nevertheless, Indonesia is resource rich and World Bank and ADB indicate a bright future if progress in reforms and restructuring can be made, and the political situation remains calm with the first democratic government providing a sound framework for development. It is also expected that decentralisation will settle down and some of the initial problems being experienced will be resolved soon. In these circumstances, real national GDP growth could return to 5-6 percent in the next few years. It is estimated by ADB for example that GDP growth in 2002 could reach 4 or 5 percent. Provincial GDP is likely to grow faster than national GDP based on previous experience in Indonesia before the economic crisis. In addition, exports are recovering in the resource sector which will particularly affect the study ports. The national and provincial economic outlook, while currently less than optimum is likely to improve with a favourable impact on the traffic through the study ports. 5-1 7. PRELIMINARY DEMAND FORECAST This forecast was made on a preliminary basis for all seven ports. The initial methodology was based on analysing general cargo and container traffic as well as specific bulk commodities since 1988 (the earliest year that consistent data could be obtained). Forecasts were made of total (public and private) traffic and container and general cargo traffic at the public port facilities for 2007 and 2025.

Abstract Ethnographic study that related communcal identities in Kalimantan gave important understanding that customary communities, believes and local languages were interrelated. Scharer (1963) classified Dayak Baroto community as Ngaju. The term Ngaju in the local languate meant “toward upper course”. Additionally, some used the term “Oloh Ngajus” to identify the communities that differed themselves from “Oloh TUmbang” representing the community of Dayak living in the area alongside estuary. The Olong Tumbang was the areas alongside the estuary of Barito River in which Bakumpai people lived. Using ethnographic approach, data were collected in the area of Barito, Samba and Long Iram Rivers. The data of the narration of the life of Bakumpai people and their identity were collected in the period of August 2015 to June 1016.

  • The Languages and Peoples of the Müller Mountains a Contribution to the Study of the Origins of Borneo’S Nomads and Their Languages
    PB Wacana Vol. 16 No. 2 (2015) B. Sellato and A. SorienteWacana Vol., The 16 languages No. 2 (2015): and peoples 339–354 of the Müller Mountains 339 The languages and peoples of the Müller Mountains A contribution to the study of the origins of Borneo’s nomads and their languages Bernard Sellato and Antonia Soriente Abstract The Müller and northern Schwaner mountain ranges are home to a handful of tiny, isolated groups (Aoheng, Hovongan, Kereho, Semukung, Seputan), altogether totaling about 5,000 persons, which are believed to have been forest hunter-gatherers in a distant or recent past. Linguistic data were collected among these groups and other neighbouring groups between 1975 and 2010, leading to the delineation of two distinct clusters of languages of nomadic or formerly nomadic groups, which are called MSP (Müller-Schwaner Punan) and BBL (Bukat-Beketan-Lisum) clusters. These languages also display lexical affinity to the languages of various major Bornean settled farming groups (Kayan, Ot Danum). Following brief regional and particular historical sketches, their phonological systems and some key features are described and compared within the wider local linguistic setting, which is expected to contribute to an elucidation of the ultimate origins of these people and their languages. Keywords Borneo, nomads, hunter-gatherers, languages, history, Müller Mountains, Punan, Bukat, Aoheng. Bernard Sellato is a senior researcher at the Centre Asie du Sud-Est (CNRS/EHESS) in Paris. He has been working in and on Borneo since 1973, first as a geologist and then as an anthropologist. He is the author or editor of a dozen books about Borneo, a former director of the Institute for Research on Southeast Asia in Marseilles, France, and for ten years was the editor of the bilingual journal Moussons.
