Leuser Ecosystem Total Area 2,280,000
ha Forest land 1,920,000 ha

Deforestation Historical Deforestation
5,500ha/year (3 MtCO2e) Forest land
threatened 49

Threats Roads Palm oil conversion Mining Encroac
hment Illegal logging
7
Communities 690,000 people living inside or
adjacent to 8 ethnic groups Some of the
poorest communities in Indonesia

Biodiversity One of the last places in SE Asia
that is of sufficient size and quality to
maintain viable populations of many rare and
charismatic species such as tigers, orangutans,
rhinos, elephants, and clouded leopard.

Section 2 Project Strategy
11
Integrated Landscape Approach
  • Project nested in a provincial wide REDD
    approach.
  • The financial flows created by carbon credits
    will be used to fund sustainable development and
    conservation activities.
  • Project aims to address the root cause of
    deforestation unsustainable approaches to
    economic development.
  • Holistic land management strategy employed, in
    line with the Governors Aceh Green vision, which
    calls for hard investments in electrification
    projects, agro-forestry and timber plantations as
    well as soft investments in education, healthcare
    and community work.
  • Aim is to refocus communities neighboring forests
    away from inefficient forest utilization and
    agricultural practices and employ them in higher
    value-added and ecologically balanced economic
    activities.
  • This holistic approach is best positioned to
    address the issues of Additionality, Permanence
    and Leakage.

Carbon Accounting Updates
  • IPCC Carbon stock estimates 1,400 million
    tonnes CO2-e
  • Spatial analysis forest type stratification in
    line with IPCC completed
  • Indicative historical deforestation rates
    determined
  • Leading service providers have defined the
    baseline and project scenarios, identified the
    complexities posed by deforestation pressures
    confirmed a compatible methodology that is as
    close to market ready as possible selected a
    business as usual reference approach suitable for
    addressing the deforestation drivers in Aceh and
    developed a clear and definitive list of data
    parameters to complete the Project Design
    Document (PDD).
  • The full preparation of the baseline will be
    consistent with best current international
    practice and experience. The service providers
    identified for this work represent the best and
    most dynamic available in this field.

Carbon Accounting contd.
  • Key outputs and points to consider
  • Based on our definition of the project and
    baseline scenarios, combined with our assessment
    of the methodologies emerging from the Voluntary
    Carbon Standard double approval process,
    compatible methodologies were found to be
  • Methodology for Estimating Reductions of GHG
    Emissions from Mosaic Deforestation Developed by
    World Bank BioCarbon Fund
  • Methodology for Estimating Reductions of GHG
    Emissions from Frontier Deforestation Developed
    by Amazonas Sustainable Foundation
  • These methodologies were selected as they met the
    following key selection criteria
  • Allow assessment of both mosaic and frontier
    deforestation representative of deforestation
    trends in Aceh
  • Are in the final stages of the first validation
    phase and are likely achieve double approval
    within the next 3-6 months
  • Accept a forward-looking baseline approach to
    developing the business as usual baseline map
  • The business as usual reference methodology
    selected is the Terrestrial Carbon Groups Three
    Filters approach. This meets the key criteria
    forward-looking, spatially explicit, regional and
    national estimates, compatible in Indonesia,
    allows greatest flexibility in data requirements,
    and appears to be transparent in its application.
  • Some destructive sampling of aboveground biomass
    pools is required.
  • Currently there are limitations in methodologies
    for projects that avoid forest degradation
  • A strong focus will be placed on the MRV system.

17
Social and Community Assessment Updates
  • Local Acehnese company Mitra Koalisi have
    conducted a comprehensive Social and Community
    Assessment. The intention of the study is to
    fulfill the requirements of the CCB standards and
    to guide project decisions concerning community
    consultation, benefit-sharing and grievance
    mechanisms
  • Key outputs and points to consider
  • 50 villages have been sampled across the Leuser
    Ecosystem.
  • Essential assessment areas
  • Social Baseline What are current levels of
    wellbeing?
  • Impact from the Project How will the project
    affect the wellbeing of the affected communities?
  • Impact from the Community How will current
    community activities affect the success of the
    carbon project i.e. What are the local drivers
    of land use and forest change?
  • Community Expectations what project
    interventions do local communities want and what
    are most likely to reduce deforestation
    pressures?
  • These essential elements will be central to
    formulating the Leuser Public Private REDD
    Project in line with international requirements,
    meeting Indonesian government guidance and
    regulation and partnering with the Government of
    Aceh and others.
