Summary

Indonesia has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land resulting from unsustainable land use practices. From colonial times on, the government has implemented a wide variety of reforestation projects, but typically with limited success due to an array of technical, social and institutional problems. This conference (September 12) examines some of the more innovative reforestation approaches being conducted in Indonesia and across the Asia-Pacific region and looks at their (wider) applicability to Indonesia. The conference is followed by a small workshop on September 13, which is designed to determine how best to facilitate the adoption of more ecologically- and socially-sound forms of reforestation in Indonesia.

Indonesia memiliki puluhan juta hektar lahan rusak akibat praktek-praktek penggunaan lahan yang tidak memperhatikan sistem manajemen berkelanjutan. Sejak zaman penjajahan, pemerintah telah menerapkan berbagai proyek kegiatan restorasi tetapi tingkat keberhasilannyamasih sangat terbatas. Hal ini dikarenakan penerapan teknologi yang tidak tepat, permasalahan sosial dan kelembagaan. Konferensi ini (12 September 2011) akan mengevaluasi beberapa pendekatan reforestasi yang lebih inovatif untuk diterapkan di Indonesia dan wilayas Asia-Pasifik serta membahas (lebih lanjut) penerapannya di Indonesia. Konferensi ini akan dirangkai dengan kegiatan workshop pada tanggal 13 September, yang dirancang untuk memfasilitasi dan menemukan cara terbaik yang lebih ekologis dan mensosialisasi reforestasi di Indonesia.
