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 />
