FMU System in Indonesia

• Indonesia has 120.35 million ha Forest land
• divided into conservation, protection and
  production forests
• FMU development still limited
• Forest Estates (Perhutani) on Java conservation
  forest areas (National Parks)
• FMU development is mandated through Law 41/1999,
  Gov. Regulation 44/2004 Gov. Regulation 6/2007
  to accelerate SFM achievement.
• A crucial step forward and the missing link
  towards SFM and conservation across all forest
  lands.

• forest protection
• incorporating community needs
• attracting investment and creates employment
• AND to incorporate local, national and global
  issues such as climate change mitigation

FMU Objectives

• Setting the administrative and operational basis
  for SFM
• Facilitate and ensure SFM
• Reducing deforestation and forest degradation
• Increase social, economic, ecological and
  climatic benefits from forest management

5
The FMU development process

• The central, provincial, and district / cities
  governments are in charge of FMU establishment
  and infrastructure development consisting of
• Division of forest land into FMUs
• Establishment of a management institution at each
  FMU
• Formulation of forest management plans at each

• reducing forest degradation
• Promoting rehabilitation and reforestation
  
• increasing benefits for the forest adjacent
  communities
• stabilizing supply of forest products
• enhancing forest governance
• facilitating the entry to the carbon market

7
Success factors

• Field presence close to forests and people
• Area Manageable sizes of FMU
• Capacity development Education and training for
  professionals
• Internal and external communication and
  cooperation, liaison and supervision
• Responsibilities and empowerment of local people
• Service orientation
• Separation of administration (authority) and
  management
• Long-term planning based on inventory

FMU as a possible entry point for the carbon
market

• Central Government (MoF, MOFI)
• regulator and supervisor of carbon transactions,
• supports definition of national (and sub
  national) baseline and national monitoring
• FMU
• acts as planning and supervising agency of forest
  carbon activities,
• Provides links to communities and
• monitors carbon stock / forest change
• REDD as a performance-based mechanism
• transparent and clear distribution on the ground
  essential
• Independent certifier needed
