The report aims to advance a policy
dialogue on how to address sustainability challenges from
lowland developments. The specific approach discussed in
this report is the "landscape approach" which, in
turn, calls for improved "landscape governance."
As a technical background study, the report serves four
functions. First, it summarizes the principles of a
landscape approach, elaborated in the context of
Indonesia's lowlands through two previous technical
studies. Second, it takes stock of current governance
challenges in Indonesia's lowlands, focusing on those
related to the government sector, and discusses how these
challenges currently prevent a landscape approach from being
implemented in Indonesia's lowlands. Third, it reviews
Indonesia's recent efforts to address the governance
challenges in the management of peatlands and other lowland
ecosystems. Fourth, it offers recommendations on options to
improve lowland governance in order to shift toward
integrated management of Indonesia's lowlands based on
a landscape approach.The report focuses on the lowland areas
in eight fire-prone provinces, and on key landscape
governance issues related to peatlands. Indonesia suffered
many years of repeated fires and haze crises, with landmark
events in 1982/83, 1997/98, 2002, 2006, 2009, and 2015. The
2015 El Niño-driven fires were particularly extensive and
costly. Almost 80 percent of the 2015–16 fires occurred
within the lowland areas in eight fire-prone
provinces—Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, Jambi, Papua,
Riau, South Kalimantan, South Sumatra, and West
Kalimantan—which together account for 87 percent of lowland
areas nationally. The report highlights the importance of
sustainable landscape management of lowland areas,
particularly of the peatlands within lowland boundaries, for
achieving the Government of Indonesia’s objective in
preventing land and forest fires. |
