Program
and Organizational 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.
In
order to support the above project, Kemitraan has several positions to be based
in Kalimantan close to the project. The
positions are:
