Consultant for
Forestry Specialist for West Papua Provincial Forest Management Plan (RKTP)
(code: RKTP-Forestry)
With 9.4 million hectares of forests (approximately 90% of its entire terrestrial area), West Papua is one of the ‘greenest’ provinces in all of Indonesia. The deep-rooted history and the knowledge that West Papua’s indigenous populations have in terms of forest resources and sustainable management is an incredible asset.

Nevertheless, the forests including the Peat and Mangrove forest are under threats due to increasing land-use change and development pressure. Most traditional land territory has not been protected under law and even less has been recognized in spatial and forest plan. Less than 10% of West Papua’s mangroves (650,000 ha) are protected despite having the highest diversity of mangrove species in the world. It is in this context that both planned and unplanned development of carbon rich PMEs will represent significant deforestation and GHG emissions.

The Provincial Forest Management Plan (RKTP) of West Papua is the key to guide the management of the rich forest in West Papua.

Conservation International (CI) is just awarded a project called Mitigation, Adaptation through Conservation and Sustainable Livelihoods in Indonesia’s Peat and Mangrove Ecosystems funded under International Climate Initiative (IKI). Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU). The project will increase climate change resilience of highly vulnerable communities and biodiversity, while substantially mitigating GHG emissions in Indonesia by accelerating large-scale conservation and effective management of peat and mangrove ecosystems (PMEs).
