Reference Emission Level • Reference area •

Historical deforestation in Central Kalimantan within Production Forest (HP) at 99,485 ha/yr and Conversion Forest (HPK) at 67,895 ha/yr from 1980-2005

• Sampling design •

Above ground: biomass measurement (25mX25m plots)

•

Below ground: peat depth, water level and subsidence

•

Transect and semi-randomized plots to accommodate difficulties of access

•

Focus on below ground monitoring

PT. Rimba Makmur Utama

Project MRV Steps • Establish stratification system

•

Low pole Lowland forest Mix swamp forest Non-forest Very low pole

Establish permanent sampling plots Peat depth measurement only (D points) Located along 4 transects 250 meters apart Total 200 points Watertable and peat subsidence sampling points (“D+W points”). Located along transects 100 D+W points Location will be adapted in Y2 and 3 to points where peat subsidence is the fastest The full measurement plots (“D+W+B points”) a Located both along the four transects (100 in total) and Located according to an adaptive stratified semi-random design (another 100 plots), using a remote-sensing based forest stratification with locations selected within 500 m from waterways. .

Monitor permanent sampling plots Independent verification

Participatory Mapping with Local Communities PT RMU has been working with Yayasan Puter on community engagement and consultation since early 2009 Since third quarter 2009, Yayasan Puter has continued to community activities including FPIC independently with funding from the Packard Foundation Working with communities of village of Bapinang Hulu, SubDistrict Pulau Hanaut, District Kotawaringin Timur

Producing participatory sketch maps with community members

Proposed Benefit Distribution Mechanism at Village Level Project Developer

Village Committee

REDD+ Activities

Village Planning

1. Roles and Responsibilities Distribution 2. Fund allocation

Village Technical Team

PT. Rimba Makmur Utama

Community Groups

Project Developer’s field team

Proposed Benefit Distribution Mechanism at Village Level 1. Village Technical Team • Manage and implement all activities relate to village development such as health, education, and economic sector.

2. Community Groups • Manage and implement all activities relate to REDD+ activities project such as forest rehabilitation, fire monitoring, and developing agro forest system in their own land 3. Project Developer’s Field Team • Manage and conduct field measurement, fire monitoring, forest rehabilitation, forest protection

Progress

• Methodology development •

Carbon accounting methodology is on dual validation process

•

SOP of Carbon and Water Level Measurement already developed

•

Trained local community on MRV field works

•

Estalished over 120 PSPs

• Land tenure •

Conducted community mapping

•

Conducted FPIC process

• Biodiversity •

Conducted flora and fauna survey

PT. Rimba Makmur Utama

Next Steps

1. Conduct Full Feasibility study in project site with : • • • • • •

Marubeni Corporation ITTO Ministry of Forestry (Indonesia) Ministry of Economic, Trade and Industry (Japan) Hokkaido University Starling Resources (Indonesia)

2. REDD+ and Ecosystem Restoration Concession socialization to local communities 3. PPD writing (CCB and VCS)

PT. Rimba Makmur Utama

Challenges

• Baseline scenario and reference emission level •

National

•

Sub-national level

• Methodology development and verification •

Expensive and lengthy process in developing methodology

•

Complexity in interpreting the standards during verification

• Land tenure •

Competing claims between local and national governments

•

Incomplete spatial planning process
