ISFMP manuals for the FMUs completed. The new spatial plan for 38 FMUs are in process for approval from the Government. • 4 FMUs’ ISFMP spatial plans have been approved • Another 4 have been submitted for approval
MOVING FORWARD Independent Observer (IO) program for ISFMP to be activated in 2017. It ensures independent 3rd party monitoring on ISFMPimplementation. The date for the first IO activity will be announced as soon as available. PROGRESS – 3 rd PARTY FOREST DEGRADATION
Strengthen internal capacity for forest protection • Improve forest monitoring (land cover change and fire) • Improve forest fire management Engagement with community is critical in forest protection Community based forest security – TOR and related procedures have been developed. Next step is piloting: identify location and security partner PROGRESS – INTEGRATED FIRE MANAGEMENT
Prevention: • IFFS/DMPA being implemented in all regions • ~70% Innovative fire prevention planning has been rolled out in the districts Preparation: • International training – better knowledge and understanding for all senior fire managers. Early detection: • Continue researching for technology to allow higher confidence in early detection data (infrared cameras, mini satellites, etc,) KEY READINESS – INTEGRATED FIRE MANAGEMENT
June 1 2017, all regions go into fire standby with staff and equipment
• 2 large water bombing helicopters already deployed in Riau and Jambi + 1 additional large water bombing helicopter to be deployed in South Sumatra in mid June • 1 helitack rapid response team in South Sumatra • High levels to staff training across the wet season • Establishment of new suppression strategies • Operational use of mini satellite fire detection • Operational testing of thermal camera detection PROGRESS – FIRE PREVENTION ACTION
New initiatives, launched in May 2017. • Assessment of fire spots data from June 2016 – March 2017 to identify high risk area • 80% of fire spots originated from area cleared for agricultural purposes • Traditional use of fire by community • Pilot program developed to address critical fire season
Pilot program in 65 villages across 5 provinces: • Assistance in tractors and herbicides for non-fire land clearance. • Establish village level teams and provide community training to patrol and secure against use of fire in land clearance. • Financial rewards for villages that maintain no fire during the critical period (June – September 2017). PROGRESS – INTEGRATED FORESTRY & FARMING SYSTEM
CHALLENGES TO BE ADDRESSED Changing community’s perspective to get their buy in. Establishing village-level economic institutions to be appointed as program manager. Building the capacity of the communities.
As of May 2017, 75 villages have implemented the IFFS program. PROGRESS – CONSERVATION INSIDE CONCESSIONS
Biodiversity survey has been completed – the results are used to develop HCV management plan. Monitoring of biodiversity is maintained under HCV Management. 100% of the required HCS permanent plot have been developed for HCS monitoring purpose (168 plots based on calculation using Winrock method). PROGRESS – CONSERVATION INSIDE CONCESSIONS
Enrichment
Natural regeneration
Planting/enrichment in degraded area. Challenges: • Limited availability of local tree species seedlings. • Limited manpower resources. • Accessibility to the rehabilitation site. PROGRESS – RESTORATION IN RETIREMENT AREA
Natural Regeneration • Observation shows wild acacia growth throughout retirement area • Difference in density and growth rate identified depending on water level condition ( 0 – 47 cm) • Next step: identify additional monitoring area and perform field measurements PROGRESS – RESTORATION IN RETIREMENT AREA
Natural Species Pilot Planting • Planted in 14.5 hectares plot area. • Visual observation shows that indigenous species compatible with the area condition. • Survival rate above 60%. • Good growth. • However, the growth and survival rate of wild acacia crassicarpa in the pilot area is better. • Next step identify additional plot areas with higher water level & closer to natural forest area. POLICY COMMITMENT 2 PEATLAND MANAGEMENT PROGRESS – 2ND LIDAR MAP
The 2nd LIDAR mapping • More refined grid. Hi-res surface model and water zonation design • Coverage expansion: up to 5.5 million hectares. Current status: • 2nd LiDAR data capture completed • Deltares team analyzing the result to refine the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and to confirm if it can be used to monitor water level PROGRESS – ALTERNATIVE SPECIES RESEARCH
10 species identified for pulpwood production 4 species already planted in trial site in Siak, Riau Total planted area is ~10.4 hectares. 6-month assessment - survival rate on area with water level of 0 - 40 cm: • Peat species ranges from 63% to 93% • Control: Acacia Crassicarpa at 37% Growth rates still less than control
Engage Gadjah Mada University (UGM) to identify not only species for production purpose, but also species for restoration as well as production for comunity use. PROGRESS – MYCHORYZA RESEARCH
In 2016 samples of mychoriza for the 4 species were collected. These samples are being analysed for propagation and field application. Trial planting on progress of the four species using mychoriza samples. POLICY COMMITMENT 3 SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT & CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROGRESS: SOCIAL CONFLICT PILOT PROJECTS
Status of Conflict Resolution Action Plan (RKPK) implementation: • Indicative number of conflicts that have reached agreement as of April 2017 is ~42% • Challenges: varying staff capacities, company process when BATNA is not achieved, community representative decision making process, external facilitators capacity , regulatory & political externalities • Next step: additional staff training, development of negotiation taskforce
3 Social Conflict Pilot Projects under FCP have been resolved: . Senyerang, Jambi Resolved in July 2013 . Datok Rajo Melayu, Riau Resolved in June 2015 . Riding Village, South Sumatra Resolved in March 2017
Based on recommendation from last SAF, APP is in the process to establish regional stakeholder platforms for social conflict resolution • The first meeting was held in Jambi in April 2017 • The next meeting will be in Palembang in June 2017 PROGRESS: FPIC
FPIC in OKI region • Plan to build additional terminal, once the mill receives approval for the selected site , FPIC process will commence FPIC in by APP suppliers regarding Annual Work Plan • South Sumatra FPIC pilot has been completed. Currently finalizing the report. • Suppliers has began to use the SOPs for FPIC and land tenure study for their Annual Work Plan preparation.
