Minutes of <strong>the</strong> Meeting with Alfan Subekti, The Nature Conservancy TNC<br />
Balikpapan, 17 th January 2009, 21:30 to 22:30, Airport Hotel<br />
• Ongoing project by TNC in Kalimantan: Berau-Carbon-Program<br />
o Since 2008, only TNC-funded. District level. The identification period will be finalized<br />
by June or July 2009 starting <strong>the</strong> strategic period. The next phase (test period/<br />
demonstration activities) will run until 2012/2013. Than investors/buyers will<br />
hopefully be interested. The project includes RIL and SFM and also modeling is<br />
planned (expected under co-operation with <strong>the</strong> University of Queensland. But <strong>the</strong>re<br />
is no model yet). The REDD task <strong>for</strong>ce is also active <strong>the</strong>re. All activities should be<br />
implemented through <strong>the</strong> task <strong>for</strong>ce. The Director of TNC terrestrial program is Dicky<br />
Simorangkir (was in Göttingen and 1993 to 1999 <strong>GTZ</strong> staff). They try to develop<br />
national demonstration objects. CBD should be part of <strong>the</strong> project as well<br />
• O<strong>the</strong>r projects regarding REDD/carbon stock<br />
o <strong>GTZ</strong> and <strong>the</strong> International Centre <strong>for</strong> Research in Agro<strong>for</strong>estry ICRAF: Nunukan<br />
o <strong>GTZ</strong> and Global Eco-Rescue GER, Balikpapan: Malinau District. GER has already<br />
expended 89,000 Euros <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> preparation of a proposal <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> Malinau <strong>for</strong>est<br />
(89,000 ha): Economic level, profit agreement<br />
o Winrock International will start in March: carbon stock identification (Oil palm,<br />
community areas)<br />
o CIDA from Canada toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> Center <strong>for</strong> social <strong>for</strong>estry at UnMul (not<br />
specifically REDD)<br />
o Fauna & Flora International FFI: Aceh and West Kalimantan. Funded also by USAid<br />
(not sure in<strong>for</strong>mation)<br />
o A <strong>GTZ</strong> project in South Sumatra called South Sumatra Forest Fire Management<br />
Project SSFFMP has been closed and get new injection from BMZ <strong>for</strong> REDD project<br />
in same location. (30,000 to 40,000 ha)<br />
• Countries involved in <strong>the</strong> REDD: Australia, USA, Norway (highest fund but no project so<br />
far. Maybe WWF, TNC), Ne<strong>the</strong>rlands (Central Kalimantan, Tropenbos and Wetland with<br />
<strong>the</strong> University of Palangkaraya), Japan, <strong>German</strong>y<br />
• Projects in Central Kalimantan: FFI, WWF, Tropenbos, Wetlands (Center <strong>for</strong> International<br />
<strong>Cooperation</strong> in Sustainable Management of Tropical Peatland CIMTROP, University of<br />
Palangkaraya)<br />
• Indonesia has currently 15-18 projects implemented by various institutions/organizations<br />
(5- 6 ongoing, o<strong>the</strong>rs planned) with total investment of 150 to 160 million USD<br />
• Spatial analyses including a comprehensive carbon assessment are already done by<br />
SEKALA from Bali (only via remote sensing) and by ICRAF (via remote sensing and<br />
ground survey, some areas in Berau)<br />
• A TNC-Workshop will take place in Jakarta in February<br />
• De<strong>for</strong>estation is still high in Kalimantan because <strong>the</strong>re are no screening tools <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
conversion of <strong>for</strong>est (TNC tries to achieve that). Kalimantan is beside Papua <strong>the</strong> only area<br />
still interesting <strong>for</strong> timber logging. 2.5 million m³ wood is allocated <strong>for</strong> annual allowable<br />
cutting in East Kalimantan <strong>for</strong> 2009, which is <strong>the</strong> highest amount in Indonesia<br />
• 50 to 60 timber companies are active in Indonesia. “Inhutani” is <strong>the</strong> state corporation (in<br />
Java as “Perhutni”)<br />
• The illegal logging is reduced<br />
• We should talk to Krystoff from CIFOR: High conservation value <strong>for</strong>est (HCVF) and to<br />
John Barnes Payne (Junaidi) <strong>the</strong> director of WWF in Kota Kinabalu who has worked on<br />
mammalian in Borneo (<strong>for</strong>est conditions, diversity, flora/fauna)<br />
