Even when harvests are expected
to be bad, perhaps not even worth
the investment, farmers burn the
remnants of rice stalks to try to
encourage new sprouts to emerge.

As the primary authority, the
government needs to work out an
arrangement with all those holding
forest concessions to manage
peatlands better, Murdiyarso said.
Despite the many challenges, Central
Kalimantans current governor,
Agustin Teras Narang has high hopes
for the provinces peatlands.
My target is [to] convert a million
hectares [of destroyed peatlands]
into its initial proper functions,
whether it is linked to forestry,
agriculture, farming or fisheries.

Managing peatlands
The government is also planning to
use Rawa Tripa to develop policies
and incentives to better manage
peatlands, whether in areas that
were protected or already under
concessions to be converted.
Rawa Tripa is a manageable size,
said Samadhi. We would be able
to quickly generate approaches to
better manage peatland areas.
The management of peatlands under
concessions is critical to ensure
minimal emissions get released
into the atmosphere, said Daniel
Murdiyarso, a senior scientist at the
Center for International Forestry
Research (CIFOR). Half of more than
20 million hectares of peatlands in
Indonesia have been licensed to be
converted into pulp wood or oil palm
plantations, he said.
In case the peatland is already
converted, a strong measure to
control fire and water table is
needed, he said.
The REDD+ task force has
commissioned studies on peat
characteristics, social and economic
impacts on local communities, and
on biodiversity in Rawa Tripa. The
results are expected to show the way
to better peat swamp protection
and management, which can be
replicated in other areas in Indonesia,
said Samadhi.

Yudhoyono told business leaders in
Jakarta in April last year.
The success of this program is
critical to our success in pursuing a
green economy.
But its an uphill battle.
More than half of the 22 million
hectares of land slated by the
Ministry of Forestry for plantations
is forested, according to the Center
for International Forestry Researchs
study Reducing Forestry Emissions
in Indonesia, which warned its a
plan that could result in huge carbon
deficits for decades to come.
Developing plantations on degraded
lands is critical, the 2010 study said,
pointing as well to the need for
accurate spatial planning data.
Most of Indonesias greenhouse gas
emissions come from land use change,
particularly from deforestation and
clearing of peatlands. This prompted
Indonesia to try REDD+, a global
scheme that aims to slow climate
change by compensating developing
countries that protect their forests.
