Spearheading Forest Conservation Initiatives to Green Indonesia |
|---|
|
Tropical Rainforest in Indonesia is well-recognized for carbon sequestration, soil and water protection, and notably biodiversity reservoir. As one of the megabiodiversity countries, Indonesia has endeavored to be the leading spearhead on accelerating there gists of forest conservation principles. These principles comprise of preservating genetic to ecosystem diversity, utilizing forest products and NTFPs (tangible and intangible matters) sustainably, and protecting the environment for altruistic aim. However, due to alarming deforestration and forest degradation one or even more the principles could not be an enduring value which is in the line of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM). Furthermore, as SFM could not be seized sothat it will automatically bring about unreachable and unsettled goals of Sustainable
Development. To ward off the above, Indonesia has initiated two outstanding international programmes focusing on forest conservation - which are REDD+ and Green Economy corridor initiatives. Indonesia has collaborated with three eminent UN agencies, comprising of FAO, UNDP and UNEP to the development the two in which REDD+ initiatives would be handled under auspice of UN-REDD Programme agencies. In specific case, REDD+ has been adopted by UNFCCC to reduce green house gas emmissions. The initiative is not only highlight reducing deforestration and forest degradation, but also that emphasizes on forest conservation, carbon enhancement and SFM. From three ?plus? on REED particularly on forest conservation, REDD+ will directly allow Indonesia to embody Green Indonesia as the exceptional goal. As keeping on babbling on REDD+ initiative implemented to sustain Indonesia?s tropical forests, it can not marginalize and separate green economy corridor initiative from the preceded initiative. Green Economy launced by UNEP is defined as the low carbon economy for efficiently resources utilization and inclusive social. Indonesia has accelerated the tenet of Green Economy by achieving seven percent economic growth and 26 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from business as usual scenario in 2020. One of the pathways for escalating the initiative is by forest conservation so that the pathway is included into Green Economy. Correlating with REDD+ initiative, Green Economy will provide a framework which is beneficial for forest conservation of REDD+ gists.
