Consultancy For SLP Forest Management & Jurisdictional
The Sustainable Landscapes Partnership (SLP) is an innovative public-private partnership in Indonesia that brings governments, communities, businesses, and non-governmental organizations together to develop and test new approaches to land use planning and management.  It is aimed at creating sustainable agricultural economic opportunities, while maintaining natural capital and avoiding deforestation and associated greenhouse gas emissions. 
Consultant Tasks and Deliverables
Key Aims:
The consultant will support various policy/ground interventions and develop a work plan for implementation of elements with a detailed focus on the key districts of Mandailing Natal, Tapanuli Selatan and Tapanuli Utara Districts and with a long-term vision for replication across the North Sumatra Province and potentially, other regions in Indonesia such as West Papua.
 
All conservation efforts and protected area strategies will have to be designed and implemented as part of larger Low Emissions Development and Jurisdictional REDD+ framework.  The consultant will ensure cross-sectoral alignment with the district Strategic Environmental Assessments, Forest Management Units, community conservation agreements and other district forest conservation programs.

These management plans will provide a template for a potential public-private partnership to implement sustainable forestry practices with clearly defined sustainable harvest levels that provide economic benefits while protecting high conservation value areas.  Additionally, the management plans will also estimate total carbon benefits to give investors an idea of total forest ecosystem biomass and carbon pool by forest type, age class and successional stages.
