II. Project Context |
Kubu-Ketapang in
West Kalimantan is an example of a landscape, where there is competition
between productive land users and the other purposes a landscape serves.
Beside numerous concessionaries that seek economic objectives, the landscape
has social and environmental purposes that must be considered in coordinating
objectives. Although currently most concessionaries have developed their own
sustainable management plans, it is not clear that these will be adequate to
achieve overarching conservation and sustainability. A high rate of
deforestation in West Kalimantan will be one outcome of poor coordination
though it will not be the only issue. It is clear that landscapes should not
be managed by focusing on certain areas defined by administrative boundaries.
Instead, a landscape should be seen holistically as one management area that
consists of economic activities, local communities, natural boundaries such
as watersheds and wildlife habitats.
The challenge in
Kubu-Ketapang is that the landscape is currently managed differently
depending on the policy of concessionaries. The government also has separate
landscape management procedures. This fractionated approach is a problem.
There does not exist a best practice for integrated or collaborative
management for large landscapes that include different land users and
interests. This presents an opportunity. Aside from issues related to company
policies, there are many threats to sustainable landscape efforts in
Kubu-Ketapang including encroachment, illegal logging, and forest clearing
for oil palm plantations. To address these issues, several companies related
to the pulp and paper industry in Kubu-Ketapang landscape will build a
public-private coalition with the goal to establish and implement integrated
sustainable landscape management. This integrated management plan will
include environmental protection efforts, which will coexist alongside
efforts related to business sustainability and social development.
The main goal of this project is to
achieve sustainable landscape management best practices and to share them
with others. Sustainability will include four major issues that need to be
addressed: alternative livelihoods for surrounding communities, prevention of
major forest fire outbreaks in concession areas, implementation of HCV, and
preservation of primate habitat by forming a knowledge-based and establishing
wildlife corridors.
This project will be conducted in
two phases: The first phase will be focused on developing an integrated forest fire prevention program and primate
habitat conservation. There are four separate baseline studies needed to
inform the integrated sustainable landscape management plan including: Forest
Fire Prevention program, HCV area management, Primate Habitat Conservation,
and Community Development. If the stakeholders are
satisfied with the progress and results from the first phase then the project
will continue to the second phase which will focus on developing findings
from the first phase and on scaling these to address
the five components. This phase is expected to be completed by March 2020.
The first phase is
important to start the collaborative project between the stakeholders. It is
important to build commitment and trust among the stakeholders before
long-term activities can be possible. Forest fire prevention stands out as a
main concern for this project because it is an extant problem for the
forestry sector in West Kalimantan, especially in the Kubu-Ketapang
landscape. Forest fires are a serious problem that could destroy natural and
plantation forest. The identified causes are: the dry season, bad land
clearing practices and slash and burn practices. In order to deal with this
issue, this project will develop and implement a joint forest fire prevention
program that uses a community based approach. It is expected that the
communities living around and in the concession areas will work together with
companies and governments to prevent and mitigate forest fires in the future.
