Konservasi Indonesia (KI; Yayasan Konservasi Cakrawala Indonesia) is an Indonesian non-governmental foundation that supports sustainable development and environmental conservation in Indonesia. [4] It works with government and other stakeholders to support the Sustainable Development Goals. [4] Konservasi Indonesia has been Conservation International's main partner in Indonesia since January 2022. [5]

History

Conservation International's engagement in Indonesia's Bird's Head Seascape dates to 2001, when a marine rapid assessment was carried out in the Raja Ampat Islands and the region became an institutional priority. [6] The Bird's Head Seascape Initiative was launched in 2004 and developed a seascape-scale approach to marine conservation in the Bird's Head Peninsula region of West Papua and Southwest Papua. [7] Within the Bird's Head Seascape, field work has been supported by offices in Kaimana, Sorong and Waisai, along with marine protected area field stations and a secretariat office in Manokwari. [6] Work in the Bird's Head Seascape included support for the planning and management of a network of marine protected areas, with associated financing and governance mechanisms such as tourism user fees, community patrol systems, and long-term conservation finance initiatives including the Blue Abadi Fund administered by the Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation (Yayasan Keanekaragaman Hayati Indonesia). [8] During the 2010s, Conservation International Indonesia supported marine protected area planning in Bali, with planning beginning in 2010 and the network initiated in 2013 through a memorandum of understanding signed by Bali's marine affairs and fisheries agencies. [9]

Konservasi Indonesia was established in September 2021 as a national foundation linked to the transition of Conservation International's Indonesia country programme. [1] [2] It was formed as an independent Indonesian foundation (yayasan) and developed a strategy and business plan intended to maintain programmatic alignment with Conservation International. [2] The partnership with Conservation International began in January 2022, and Konservasi Indonesia became Conservation International's main partner in Indonesia. [5] The transition was linked to the development of the Global Fund for Coral Reefs programme Terumbu Karang Sehat Indonesia, which identified the Bird's Head Seascape and East Sumba in East Nusa Tenggara as priority sites, including a preparatory grant phase and subsequent programme design work. [10] [11] In 2024, a U.S.–Indonesia debt-for-nature swap targeted funding for conservation work in the Bird's Head Seascape and the Lesser Sunda–Banda seascape, including a contribution from Conservation International.

Papua

Konservasi Indonesia is the lead implementing partner for the Global Fund for Coral Reefs programme Terumbu Karang Sehat Indonesia, with priority sites in the Bird's Head Seascape in West Papua and Southwest Papua provinces. [13] The programme includes work intended to strengthen marine protected area management and financing, including work on revenue sources such as user fees and tourism-related mechanisms. [11] The Bird's Head Seascape includes 266,924 hectares (2,669 km2) of coral reefs; the Bomberai marine protected area authority manages six marine protected areas covering 25,821 hectares (258 km2) of reefs, and Teluk Cenderawasih National Park covers about 80,000 hectares (800 km2) of reefs. [11] Conservation International's Bird's Head Seascape work has been supported by offices in Kaimana, Sorong, and Waisai, marine protected area field stations in Triton Bay, Dampier Strait, Wayag, Mayalibit Bay, and Ayau, and a secretariat office in Manokwari. [6] Programme delivery has involved community partners including the Blue Abadi Fund and the Indonesian Biodiversity Foundation (KEHATI), and activities include convening a Papuan Advisory Council and developing a mooring-buoy system for Raja Ampat. [2] The David and Lucile Packard Foundation has supported work in Papua through grants related to strengthening Indigenous marine tenure and traditional sasi laut practices on the Bomberai Peninsula in West and Southwest Papua, and a planning grant related to other effective area-based conservation measures and the governance of the Blue Abadi Fund in Southwest Papua. [14]

From April 2019 to August 2023, Konservasi Indonesia led the International Climate Initiative project Peat and Mangrove Ecosystems in pilot provinces including North Sumatra, West Papua, and part of Southwest Papua. [15] [16] Work in West Papua and Southwest Papua included policy-strengthening work in the West Papua Provincial Forest Management Plan and patrol activities using the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART). [16]

Eastern Indonesia

Konservasi Indonesia's Sunda Banda region includes Bali, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Maluku, and North Maluku. [17] In Bali, Conservation International Indonesia supported the development of a provincial marine protected area network. Planning began with a multi-stakeholder workshop in 2010 that identified 25 candidate sites, and marine rapid assessments informed network design. The network was initiated in 2013 through a memorandum of understanding signed by Bali's provincial and regency marine affairs and fisheries agencies. [9] Work in Karangasem Regency has included supporting the recovery of 450 hectares (4.5 km2) of forest in Desa Dukuh and activities related to regenerative agriculture, and supporting coral reef restoration and monitoring in the Tulamben conservation area. [18] The programme's priority site on Sumba is in East Sumba Regency in East Nusa Tenggara, within marine managed areas zoned under Savu Sea Marine National Park that total 517,092 hectares (5,171 km2) and include an estimated 15,448 hectares (154 km2) of coral reef. [11] Activities include baseline socioeconomic and ecological assessments and research on seaweed disease and climate resilience, with research partners including University of Mataram and technical guidance from Cargill. [13] [2] In West Nusa Tenggara, activities have included support for marine conservation area management around Moyo Island, Liang-Ngali, and Lipan-Rakit totaling 65,000 hectares (650 km2), and work related to whale shark conservation in Teluk Saleh. [18]

Sumatra

The Blue Halo S Initiative is being developed as a financing framework for coastal and marine conservation and sustainable fisheries, with a pilot planned in Fishery Management Area WPPNRI 572, west of Sumatra. [19] [20] The pilot area encompasses portions of the provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Bengkulu, Lampung, and Banten. [19] The initiative aims to support sustainable financing aligned with Indonesia's marine protected area expansion targets and objectives for fisheries management and blue carbon protection and restoration. [19] The Green Climate Fund approved project preparation support in November 2022, with Konservasi Indonesia and Indonesia's Environment Fund Management Agency (BPDLH) listed as indicative executing entities alongside Conservation International Foundation as the accredited entity. [19]

From April 2019 to August 2023, Konservasi Indonesia led the International Climate Initiative project Peat and Mangrove Ecosystems, which supported retention and management of peat and mangrove ecosystems across 742,234 hectares (7,422 km2) in pilot provinces including North Sumatra, West Papua, and part of Southwest Papua. [16] [15] Work in North Sumatra included peat restoration in South Tapanuli Regency and a spatial plan analysis for Muara Batang Toru intended to support protection and management of 23,823 hectares (238 km2) of peat ecosystems. [16] [15]

National

A Wetland Strategic Coordination Team was formed through collaboration with Indonesia's National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) under the Peat and Mangrove Ecosystems project, and the team produced a National Strategy for Peat and Mangrove Wetland Ecosystems document. [16]

In November 2022, the Government of Indonesia announced a model for ocean conservation and fisheries management that was introduced during meetings in Bali, with support from the Green Climate Fund, Conservation International, and Konservasi Indonesia. [20] In September 2024, Konservasi Indonesia participated in a workshop in Jakarta intended to formalize the establishment of a national Marine Protected Areas Co-Management Committee, alongside government agencies and other non-governmental organizations. [21] Konservasi Indonesia was named among participating organizations in a 2024 U.S.–Indonesia debt-for-nature swap agreement intended to support coral reef ecosystem conservation in Indonesia.
