There is interesting, contrasting
phenomenon on national emission reduction effort in Indonesia. Although most
GHG emission in Indonesia is coming from forestry sector, very few forestry
carbon projects have been registered. Until the end of 2012 there were 93
projects registered at the Executive Board (EB - UNFCCC) from energy sector on
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) activity, of which mostly about methane
avoidance with highest CERs earnings
coming from geothermal. How about forestry sector? None has been registered at
EB-UNFCCC.
How could this happen? Was it due
to complicated methodology, Government Policy, or some company internal factors?
In the Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 61 year 2011 about National Action
Plan on GHG emission Reduction, forestry sector and peat-land were targeted to
reduce emission up to 87.61%. Why was the very sector which was planned to have
highest reduction has not had even single activity registered at EB?
Testimony
KOICA Program succeeded to change local community from ignorant to
environmentally conscious. This book described how to approach society with
extreme attitude and against the rehabilitation activity toward society which
care about environment.
Turmudzi – Leader of NGO Aliansi Masyarakat Peduli Lingkungan (AMPEL)
Sekaroh Protection Forest is extremely dry area with many illegal
grazing that is difficult to rehabilitate. Land rehabilitation program by KOICA
and FORDA within CDM scheme has become a new model for cooperation with local
community. This cooperation model between KOICA and local community has
enriched available models of approach to community.

From the beginning I thought that
the AR/CDM project needed to give a try in Indonesia; not only to meet the commitment
for mitigating global climate change, but also because it is very relevant with
the context and the need for land rehabilitation and increasing land production
in many area of Indonesia. Even though a little late, this book was based on
result of first research effort that contained many lessons for us to learn.
I followed all the process of
this cooperative CDM project activity between Korea and Indonesia in East
Lombok. Climate change and forestry is new issue in the field that one problem
after another would always appeared. Based on the faith that active role of
community is very important in rehabilitating marginal land and would give
multiple effects, I consistently encouraged and supported this project until
the Recommendation Letter from the Minister of Forestry was issued, for
community based forestry (HKm) and followed by issuance of Letter of Approval
(LoA) from National Committee of CDM (Komnas MPB) of National Board for Climate
Change (DNPI). This book should be read by any party who has concern with land rehabilitation
activity, community participation and coping with climate change.

Yetti Rusli – Chair of Working Group on Climate Change of Ministry of Forestry.
